Default Re: Pond, falls and living wall

Ok, another week - a little more progress! The black band is just a temporary dividing line for where the pebblewash upper surface will meet the dark colored bottom surface.





One of the 5 down-lights that will illuminate the living wall mounted;


Testing the falls flow rate (Don't worry, it'll get much better looking, but by then it would be too late to change the flow pattern if there was something wrong!) The entire waterfall area has an embedded layer of PE sheet (1/4" thick) under the top layer of cement so even if something cracks or moves years down the line there shouldn't be any leakage problems.


Meanwhile, here's four pictures of the main entrance to the house from the parking area... a bit of a challenge as the contractor just built the house with no plan as to how to actually reach it! You can see the area of the pond/falls in the upper right of the first picture.

There's a guest bedroom off to the left, below the main house, hence the pathway headed off that way.




Okay, hopefully more progress to show next week!
