DIY backyard bowl – Installment 4

Joesf is pouring faster than I post. This next batch covers a couple of pours over different days. He might be done by the time you read this.

I seem to have a real knack for mixing on the wetter side, as we again have a gap to fill. Funny thing is, I had almost no sag on my 18′ of vert on the jersey barrier but i keep getting sag on transitions just approaching vert. I will patch this lip when i pour the connecting section later this week. So far, the fish pond is a challenge to ride. It is like the shallow end of a pool, you have to work for everything, even simple kickturns become challenging. It was rad to see Danimal pull frontside slash grinds on the 3ft qp monday.

We put a hip in the less than 3 ft between the jersey barrier and the pocket. And now we have half a bowl.

With this pour, we are down to two sections left to pour before we have a fully enclosed fishpond. We should be able to get the rest poured within the next two weeks.Then I am expecting the cover to arrive about the 30th of October.

So close to being done. I learned a lot from this project. In my next few pours, pocket and face wall that are framed up, I will attempt to put in a death box in the pocket and tile along the face wall. that is what the plastic bag in the pocket is for and the strip of wood along the top of the face wall forms. then all that will be left to finish is a little pie wedge connecting the corner, 3ft tranny to the face, 4ft tranny.

We got it covered and my death box is taking shape. should be done soon after halloween.
