Quarantine pond build (UPDATE 2)

Post by jason-m »

Well, phase one is now complete, i started off with practising a bit of rendering on the back wall first, then put the bottom drain in and started the block work.
Got loads done today, all block work is complete and i have rendered 3 of the walls, but i have come across a problem, the roof is concrete slats and every morning the ceiling is soaking and dripping down, i have bought some concrete sealer and firstly i am going to try and seal it from inside, if this doesn't work i may have to get the jetwash on the top of the roof and seal it from their ( more expense...!)
So tomorows job is the leaky roof, i was going to render the pond, but i want to give everything a chance to set and dry out, so with the way my work is it looks like thats next weekends project....
