Paul sent me this email. He lives way up in Northern Maine and he is building a fantastic railroad. He also has some fantastic help! Wow, take a look. Thank you Paul.
Hi John,
I spent the last three days
working on the water feature for my railroad. On Thursday, I roughed out
the pond and installed the skimmer. On Friday and Saturday, Nancy
Norris was here and designed and built the stream and waterfall system
from the top of my "mountain". What a pleasure it was to have her here
with her expertise! I think she came up with a great design and the
series of waterfalls are really spectacular.
The photos below show Nancy hard at work. I lost count of the rocks that she had me tote for her.....
Oops. Here is a trellis that I built for Brenda last week which will support a wisteria vine next year.
I
ended up moving the skimmer more to the left so that it would be
directly across from the stream outlet. It houses a Beckett pump which
has a 3600 GPH capacity (2900 gph at the approximately 5 foot height to
the top of the water feature.
We used a 45 mil EPDM liner.
Howard Black stopped by to check things out and assist with carrying some rocks.
The plan is to have the pond overflow go under the bridge and across the lawn down the hill.
Here is Nancy with her latest creation.
