Built This Waterfall (Video added) - 06/29/22 04:47 PM
A customer asked me if I could build him a waterfall before the Fourth of July. I told him if he got it ordered and got it to his house soon enough I probably could.
I used a small Kubota with forks attached to the front bucket to move the cast concrete rocks from the shipping pallet to the backyard.
Me and a helper did a partial dry stack to make sure the plumbing and electrical conduit chases were going to line up on this convex radius.
We unstacked it then began setting the base rocks in mortar beds. I used the bubble wrap as a mortar bib to keep as much out of the pool as I could. These things are usually built before the pool is filled.
A mortar bed for a second course rock. We set the rocks on the two by twos to avoid too much squeeze out and then carefully removed them.
Leveling one of the rocks on its mortar bed.
We finished it yesterday. The plumber is scheduled to be there today and hook up the water. I told the owner to send me some pictures.
I don’t know why the owner took such a short video but…
