      The split face block? Thanks. I found it at Menards, not sure if you have any near you. For us we liked that option better than putting a stone veneer on the block.

      I went to Menards also
      I like how you are stepping the waterfall, that's what I'm doing also. im doing a drop in liner. How are you putting the liner in when you put the blocks up for the wf shouldn't you put the liner first then the blocks for the wf.

      Yes, that was just a mockup to see how it looked. Once I put the liner in I'll stack the waterfall blocks on top and fill them with concrete.

      This is awesome. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if it would have been more or less expensive to have it poured like a basement by the time one figures in all the labor and time transporting the blocks etc?

      Very good question and one I happen to believe that it depends on the situation and how much time you have on your own hands (free labor) to "git 'er done". I prefer a gunite shot pond which is done all at one time, floor/walls for a monolithic pour. This is how swimming pools are built as well.

      I bought 636 blocks $1,500-
      80 pieces rebar 1/2"x 20' $430
      8 hrs labor to build walls 2 helpers and myself. $240.00
      Framing the footing and Crete. $1,300
      Monday I'll figure out how much Crete I'll need to pump into the block.

      people like to vehemently defend their purchases and find it incredulous that anything could be better
