#poolpond Pop Quiz.

What did Chris realize when he put down the pipe for the bottom water sprayers?

The realization was that if I had said piping in the bottom
of the poolpond just like that, then the elbow from pipe up to outlet would be at least 4 inch (10cm), requiring at least that amount of gravel to cover it and bring everything up to level, and probably more. Which is:
a) a lot of gravel $
b) a loss of depth for enjoyment of water.

So Chris is digging a pipe trench... 🪏

Also took the opportunity to improve the steps on the end of the pool pond and the indentation for the yellow basket with the pump inside.

It is 28.5°C

A view of a long stretch of pipe along the edge of a bottom of a pond on top of the dirt. It has a elbow and a short length at the end of the pipe and another in the middle. I have edged along the length of the pipe beginnings of a trench. A view down into the pit shows the trench taking shape. It is, of course, in the sunlight while the non-trenched side is in the shade. Such as life.

omg

basically done.

pulled over and set the fabric then pulled over the liner.

omg it is so heavy and blistering hot. I could only set half of it before I tapped out.

To the roofers out there. You are all heroes.

31.5°C

the fabric put back down into the trenches and the pipe set in to be sure it was ok. The liner is pulled back over and set in on the near end with the yellow basket but the far end is still stretched over and not set into the hole properly. It is all in full sun. so hot. My legs out on the floor in front of me as I collapsed on the floor

It is a very mild 37°C. Maybe I should go do some more work in with the black rubber liner.

no..

(I just had a nap)

Los Españoles conocen qué hacer.
