Unfortunately I didn’t make the splashback high enough, resulting in loss of water and a slippery path behind the feature.
I had made a temporary parking area several decades ago in case of visitors, using concrete slabs in the shape of replica railway sleepers. The local council have agreed to pay for a disabled ramp for my Uncle/FiL, so I dug up the slabs where it is going to be installed with my trusty SDS drill, and decided they would make a perfect splashback modification.
That’s phase 1 successfully completed. I have never been happy with the outflow setup, so I intend to install a gurgle-hole, modify the aperture, and narrow the chute to make the water tumble more.
Work is currently suspended because of the heat which affects my dicky ticker, so I have been instructed by my Lovely Cousin to take a few days off.
That’s the little trench made ready for where the gurgle-hole is going to be fitted. I prefer to shop locally, so I nipped down to corner gurgle-hole shop in the village, and luckily they had the exact size I wanted in stock.
