Set Boulders

want to drain it down those challenges with working with granite Ryan all this he's not allowed out of that box water kind of sticks to it like if you put in a rock like this it'd be a nice look what water would just kind of roll across it it's not gonna be a waterfall so if we turn this a little bit we could stand this up vertically we have a nice flat ledge there which is great moral fall effect and we can kind of play around with different that works yeah unless you're falling right there yep so if you look at this rock from above you don't want to have you don't want the bottom sticking out further from the top so I'm always looking at from the top and then I'll also look at it from the front I want to have it kind of leaning a little bit so it actually crates up like this is this is a cantilever that makes sense we want to get that water kind of shooting off of it yep and then instead of rolling doumitt exactly I think sometimes you can overthink the waterfalls when you really look at it if somebody didn't already tell you all waterfalls that we build are built basically the exact same way you have a big rock on one side another big rock on the other side those are our frame rocks what change is the way the waterfall looks is this that rock that sits in between and so what address is talking about twisting and turning that spill stone gives a different look one of the number-one areas when we get callbacks it is going to be at least the leak is not going to be in the reservoir the leak is a solid container right so the biggest 99% of the time it's going to be just a little bit of a low edge in the liner which is why I wanted it four inches above so we make sure that this is up high but these little transitions right here if I were to take soil and pack it in really tight if you've ever had a leak in your roof in your house you could see a drip here but the leak could be the other side of the home and it just travels itself along and it finds a little crevice then it drops inside the same thing right in here so when do so a lot of people freaked out about them if you design it properly in the beginning you're gonna eliminate that so what I'm doing what I'm talking about doing here is creating what we call a weeping area so by having a pocket of gravel here that water travels in between this rock and the liner this is our transition we need a seal right here we're gonna use a foam sealant but if I were to pack it in nice and tight that water could just…
