Simply Koi and More Koi

Here Bob ,
You best be carefull as those stand pipes are "LIVE"

Heres a tip for you if you can be bothered Use the wife,s seive as this will give you the finest sand possible for the base and you wont then need to render the bottom......................

That would be a lot of sieving Danny

I'll be starting at the stand pipe end, so will miss them nicely. I can finish at the other end and stand on the 2 x 6" outlet pipes to actually complete it.

Hi Bob,

What are you going to do with the 6" transfer pipes are they staying the same or moving

It also looks nice and dry in there which is great as i think my feet are still wet from Saturday

Gazza,

Cut the pipes back a bit, will re-fit the 6" bends and up-standing pipes though - want to take the top water as it will have settled more

Yeah I had to put wet boots on for work this morning.
Knock that scread up about right and the floor will be like glass.

Bob youve got a 12ft seive in your garden have a go , i bet it would work

Hi Justin,

Mine went out into the utility room on the rad so they were ready for work today

The guys was asking what i did to make my boots so dirty.....i had to explain i had been working

Justin,

Hope the shovel still has the Koi Quest logo etched on it - lol

My 'trainers' are still wet now

Should be fun laying that floor tomorrow

What are talking about boots for Justin we should of gone with the Dangerous Brian PPE

Little tip Bob, remember to lay the floor scread were You plan to get out from first. The by the time You have done the rest of the chamber it should be on the turn, This will give You some where to work Your self into and escape from.

Justin

great work for a weekend you lot.

i think looking at that hole Bob it will be about 461 gallons.

looks good bob.

think you must have REDBULL running though your veins cos you dont seem to stop.





cheers dave

Chilly day today, but I didnt feel the cold.

Mixed 23 bags (B&Q) of sharp sand and 6 bags of cement, by hand in a barrow. Then had to put into a bucket, walk to settlement chamber, get in the hole and then lay it. Took 4 1/2 hours non-stop and I ache now, worse than yesterday.

Well that's the hard bit done anyway, just got to dry it out now ready for glassing.

A few pictures of the completed chore and with a cover on to keep it dry. Would be nice to get a week more of Sunshine, then it might dry out.

Looks just the job Bob. Very different to how it looked Saturday morning when we turned up for demo.
If it looks like a dry day tomorrow get up nice and early and get the cover off. Or it will sweat and become very damp in there.
