Rock and Pets

Five tons of rock down 5 more to go. I've used all the 3/4 rock going around the pond and started putting down the larger Rip Rap around the sloping areas.
My friend Roland stopped by and I enlisted him to help move a few large boulders.
I also pick up a few critters. The two turtles were free and I bought the Fire-Belly toads from the gift certificate from Jay and his family.

Concrete sealed, about ready for water

Progress seems so slow. I have completed the two coats of Thoroseal, built a bridge and started landscaping. Oh yeah, 10 tons of rock are sitting in the driveway.

Notice how I moved the existing landscape blocks the create a seperation from where the rocks will be and the grass.

Concrete Cleanup

Mostly just doing cleanup, removing forms and rebar. Ordered Thoroseal and Acryl 60 to waterproof the concrete.
Next steps complete plumbing and lots of landscaping.

Hoo-Dee-Hoo Concrete In.

Took 9 hours for rebar and about 4 hours for Shotcrete, but it's all done except the drying.

Concrete Formwork Complete

Another Milestone, as Desert State Shotcrete came out and set the forms on Saturday. The rebar crew should be here Monday and then hoo-hoo, concrete.
