Building Lake Corona

Nice job and video! Watching the video, it was visibly light in the rear, and probably felt even worse. I'd have been worried about dropping the stone on the pillars.

All the best, Peter

That turned out really nice!!!! Now I'm really excited to see the pond full and the water under it.

Had to go slow and make sure I had the slab above the columns. Definitely didn't want to have it fall and crack them. Placed some fast set concrete powder on top of the columns before setting it to account for the rough surface. Too cold to mix it with water today. It's solid at the moment. If it develops any play I can always lift it and mix a handful of cement for each column and reset it.

Sometimes just exposing to moisture will harden it.

It should unless the wind takes it out before then but I think it will be fine without doing anything else.

I've been manhandled trying to move and lift big flat stones with my 60 horse Kubota tractor...they are deceptively dense and heavy.

That Case is a beast to be able to get that slab up...and then shift the weight further out on the forks and still ooomph it up.

Very impressive!

I was pretty well maxed out. Still had a lot of verticle lift left but no counterweight. The tilt cylindars were close to maxed out with that slab almost 10ft out from the pins. J.
