This is proof that I can work all day in extreme heat and end up with sore calves from balancing on waterfall rocks…and have it look like I did nothing at all.

I had to pull up a bunch of rocks in the waterfall to chase leaks. I dried the crevices with a hair dryer and a small fan, then cleaned out trapp and debris with a spoon (yes) and P’s little shop vac. I used a can of landscape foam and two tubes of silicone caulking, and it still looks the same. I’m sure there will be more leaks to chase, but I’m going to give it another test today. Argh.

For the record, they’re not kidding when they call this “expanding foam”. I put this rock on after the foam had expanded, but it was obviously not finished.

The pond was all I did yesterday, but one of my Spicebush Doot-doots was busy, being an upside-down J.
