Time to take care of that little leak in the side of the waterfall. I started by taking out a few slabs on that side, cleaning out the mud, and getting it to start drying while I worked on the cover for the vortex pit. The cover turned out to go pretty quickly, when I wasn't dropping my screwdriver, or the washers, or my pencil, or ...etc... down into the bottom of the pit. Intermittent rain. Muddy boots.
It turned out that the underneath-layer of the liner was folded under at the back all along that level of the waterfall. I wasn't sure if it was actually leaking due to being folded down, but it certainly would be better if it was correct. So that meant moving a few more rocks. I also discovered that the place that was leaking wasn't holding water because of the liner not being folded properly. That makes 2 for 2 leaks due to this. After getting the liner corrected, I spent a lot of time trying to get the proper rocks back in. I ended up with a slightly different design than the original layout. Ran out of Great Stuff, so some of this part will let some water through the back (but on top of the liner - just not great for efficiently getting water to flow OVER the waterfall).
