First day's work on the new stage
The upper picture shows the little dam at the West Bridge that I finished yesterday. From previous measurements this looked to be about the correct height to keep the pond full. Now after all of the rain, the pond is full but there is about 3-4 inches of water going over the dam. So I'll add one more row of bags of concrete mix and that will keep the pond at about the level it is in the second picture. Before the dam, water would back up like this but after the rain it would quickly drain away. Maybe we can keep more of it now - and this should keep water in the creek too. The last picture is the stage after one day's work. We've moved it back and added to it. It was 96 square feet and will now be 240 square feet. |
