we’ve been working on the pond to try and fix the leak that only seems to happen when the waterfall is running…

we purchased a new hose from a pond store and it took a while to get here… then we had to wait for a good day to work on it…

took extra help to pull the old hose and insert the new one… next a new connection to the pump had to be purchased and finally on Sunday evening the waterfall was turned on… the pump hadn’t been cleaned, but the water was coming through the waterfall much stronger that previously…

we thought the problem was where the water meets the deck on the deck side…

this how it looked at the end of Tuesday…

and it was still leaking, sigh…

this is how it looked on Thursday, although we may be getting closer to the problem…
