I love the sound of water on rocks! Looks like you probably hounded most of those. What a nice way to use the leaverites that accidentally came home, and became shouldalefterites....

How did you make the waterfall? Is that a light on the right side of the photo?

Yes it is lit at night with two solar lights. I buried 100g horse stock tank in the ground, used a 3500gph pump, covered the tank with a grate. I did not want an exposed pond algae issues so I went pondless. Then covered it with rock. The basic structure is cinder block, with a pond liner covering. I then used some larger drywall pieces I purchased, then a bunch of my rough rock to fill in.
Any questions feel free to ask.

Next year I'll rework that side for a more balanced look and move some to the flowing river I want to create in the back yard.

Very nice! Cool that you just happened to have all those rocks lying around... You did a great job.

The water falling into my little pond makes a soothing noise. It also attracts wildlife, some wanted (small birds to drink and bathe), some unwanted (crows and raccoons washing parts of dead animals in it - ick!). Pondless is the way to go, unless you plan on growing pond plants. Maintenance and algae are a PIA.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
