My goal is to complete this project before Labour Day.

I have the two stainless waterfall blades onsite.

I have four 440W solar panels now on site.

I will paint the cement wading pool for the last time this weekend.

I need an appropriate transfer pump for the water falls, river or potato rock, perennial aquaticplants, more solar lighting and more.
 
What’s with the giant sheet rolls of hockey cards ?

I got them as a throw in item at a liquidation auction a few years ago and have struggled to determine their value.

Had them in flattened sheets but without space they rolled up again.

I have cut samples of the year and brand however couldn’t find someone in the business to give me a price.

Then with all the shit in my life that project was neglected for the time being.
 
The 2 pumps arrived yesterday.

Saved $30 each on Prime Days.

It has a 14 feet lift but from bottom of “pond” to the top of the brick wall where the waterfall spillways will be mounted will be less than 5 feet.

Going to build a hollow 7’ X 1’ X 3’ chimney like structure of red brick to match Dad’s brickwork on the house and top it with angel stone.
