I arrived at the oasis at daylight, ready to push myself again. First I stained and sealed the wood on the raised bench. I'm very happy with it even though it doesn't match the other wood exactly.

Didn't do anything to the other picnic table because I want to replace the top boards on it first. Seems one project always leads to another. And another!
Also gave the drip tank another partial coat of paint.
Tomorrow I'm going to finish watering and finish up my sealing project in the stucco tank.
Darn gophers are burrowing right next to the underground basin in the new water feature. We went to a lot of trouble to protect the sides of the plastic liner from burrowing critters. Sure hope it works! I read online that they can burrow up under things as deep as six foot, so I sure hope they don't attack the reservoir from below.
Good grief. I didn't know there were gophers in TX. I'm almost as old as you are, given 2-3 years, and I didn't know they existed here. Sheesh. They're kind of cute actually. Best wishes on preventing any damage from them.
ReplyDeleteIt's scary for sure. If they burrow into the liner, the whole water feature will have to be dismantled and rebuilt. Next go around I'll be sure there's a sturdy tank under there and not a plastic liner. We protected the sides with tin and rocks, but nothing underneath. It's less than 3 foot deep.
