I thought the color of the flex PVC were just color and not didifferen type. I am further along than the pictures show. I am using black flex I pepenetrated the wall with black flex which would mean less joint in the ground. I would love to coat my pond with polyurea but budget would be a problem. A liner will be installed. Reason is cost, a lot cheaper.

Are you talking about the end block? When you buy 8" x 8" x 16" block you get 2 kind on blocks. Blocks that goes in the middle of the run that has recess on both side and end block which is flat and smooth on on side and a vertical slot on the other side. I am also using knock-out bond beam on the top course to create a solid ring abound the top with rebar. Just take a hammer and hit between the slot and it will break right off.

Pumping is the way to do any concrete work. I have a truck cooming oncomingday i will take some pictures. The concistencconsistencyly a little wetter but not alot. The concrete mix is 1/2" gravel instead of 3/4" plus their is alot less gravel. I don't think you will have any problem with doing you floor. I will ask the pumper guy to see what he thinks. Do to the location of the pond access is hard since it is in the back of a small yard that has a 8' rise. No way get truck back their plus wheal barrow would be a killer. Buy bag concrete a HomeDepot for $3.10 a bad would save $150 plus the hours and back pain to do it. Buying loose gravel and sand and portland cement would be cheaper. but would have to wheel barrow 10 ton plus of material. I have 7 yard of concrete coming and a trailer pump. To fill the block and the concrete floor in the filter pit. Rick look for a trailer pump it is alot cheaper than the big boom truck that does 150 yard and hour. You don't need that much power. |
