This is a photo of the stream in progress taken yesterday morning. We worked on it all day - well, I spent half the morning painting the bridge ready to be put in place. You can see the two slabs ready for the ends of the bridge. They used to be sides of a concrete coal bunker, made redundant by the new plastic one we acquired for the smokeless fuel when the central heating was installed. The butyl liner was retrieved from the pond when we did away with that for the annexe to be built, and we also conserved huge flints and slates. The pump from the pond is still working although we had to buy a new water pipe to take the water from the reservoir to the head of the waterfall. Dave went to Homebase late on Saturday afternoon and cleared them out of pebbles when we realised what a length of stream we had to fill, but the cost of the project has been mostly in time and effort. I'd like to add this morning's picture but there seems to be no option to put it after the text so I'll do another post if I have time.
It looks great,love the progress photo's.
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to add as many photo's as you like to a post,you just click the picture icon again.You can cut and paste the image text to move it about(add it between your text) if you write in "edit".......if you write in "compose" the photo's should drag around.
I'm not sure what layout you use but I think all the 'main' blogger bits are the same....don't know if that helped ?
Thanks Ruth, I'll try that next time. Glad you like the photos, can you visualise where the stream runs? It's parallel to the back of the house with the header fall towards the mobile home. The bridge now runs at an angle towards the R border of the property.
