Up one level pond » day 29

day 29
Decided to cut off the excess liner on the east side, also. Then I dug a trench to hold the remainder liner and smoothed the ground out at that end. That part is done except for the sod, which I will do later rather than killing it by walking to and fro endlessly as I finish the rest of the pond. I worked my way around the rest of the pond digging the edge shelf. I spent most of the day trying to figure out the west waterfall. I laid some 1" concrete blocks on the shelf (had to dig it a bit deeper here) and then picked out some broken concrete pieces to lay on top. I put the pour stone on top; it took several iterations - oh my poor back! - before I had it level. I started removing the concrete fill behind the waterfall so I could put in real concrete blocks.
