well on my one day off a week I decided to put about 8 hours into my fishpond.
I am almost done with the water proof membrain. it is a good product and not too expensive, but I guess that depends on the reference point. 160 sq feet with thin set was about $280. it is called Kerdi mat. it is pretty easy to install.
if my wife lets me buy the tile I should have the majority of the tile done by the weekend. I still have to find time to get the small window back to the glass shop. it has a really small chip in it, so I will not be able to finish that portion. It is good, because it makes it easy to get in and out of the pond.
I put a picture of 3 of the bulk heads I bought, although, after I viewed it, I found it uninteresting. I picked good ones because I don't want any leaks on the hardwood floor that I will install.
I am thinking a cultured marble. the stuff from rona or home depot. I want it to be light in order to have a really good contrast with the ray. I was also thinking of something blue or green. I keep changing my mind.
