UPDATE 21/05/10

This shows some 3” gravity feed lines from the surface skimmers and 2” return lines from the filters to the pond.

The lines continue towards the filter and equipment area.

This shows all lines stopped temporarily to allow for the entire trench to be back-filled. This will then allow the owner to get the surface of the courtyard finished to allow vehicle access.

The bricklayers are cladding the outside of the pond with reclaimed stone and placing the final coping stones into position before the final surfacing to the courtyard takes place.

The next stage will be to cut the fountain support legs to size and fill them with concrete. A cross-brace will be fitted to the legs mid-way to give further strength. After this, the pre-drilled fountain base stone will be craned and fitted into the legs and then the fountain itself can be positioned and connected.

The entire pond surfaces will then be rendered and later laminated with black glass fibre.

The next stage will be to make a start on the filtration and equipment housing after the other work has finished.
