Making headway. Typical to any of my projects, I am making lots of mistakes in terms of knowing what I need and how I'm going to do it, but I am compensating for these as I go along with extra materials and good old fashioned imporvisation. As of today I think I have about 75% of this thing done. I finished putting the planks into the bigger part, and I put the frame for the bog box together, and I got the waterfall pretty much finished. My original frame was a little wobbly, but once those planks got nailed in it turned sturdy as a rock. All I need to do now is put the planks into the bog box, nail on the waterfall, and stain it all, and I'll be done with my woodwork. Unfortunately, I was talking to my new neighbors (very nice people, thank God) and they told me that I should probably notify the HOA and get approval for the pond, so before I put in the liner and the water and all the fun stuff, I'm going to wait on that approval, which could take a month or so. That's ok, though, because I still have a lot to figure out before I'm ready to do any of that as it is. Here are the pics as of tonight:
and here is the waterfall. I'm really pulling this thing out of the air, and you can tell how haphazard it is right now, but I was going for something a little irregular looking, and I think once I cover the whole thing in pond liner it'll look great. (I need to remember to cut off those stray nails before I add the liner) The only part of the wood that will show will be the one side, which just looks like 2 wooden planks. We shall see.
