got to heavy at this stage so i moved it from garage to site ,

yes thats a washing up bowl . going to add a waterfall , hence the poly backing incase of leeks

radiator drain plug for easy draining , just a dd hose

fake wall was a bit worried about this bit , never used foam before

no thats not all the foam i use i ran out didnt go as far as i thought

5 cans of foam later , loads of cutting and shaping , and i start the grouting

mixed 50 /50 waterproof grout and cement , nice and sloppy , easy to paint on with a 2 inch brush

3 coats of plop later and a quick spray over with fake rock spray, nice finish

2 coats of bathroom vanish to seal it all over ,

fit glass 6.4 mm laminated

thats the waterfall , yes i no its small nothing amazing , but i was chuffed the waterfall worked (untested till this point)

add a log and some folage
