After grouting above and below the grout lines were repainted to make it look less bodgy.


And then nature decided it needed filling at once...


The 4 fountains and 2 islands are still not in, so a tire has been thrown in for the turtles to bask on in the mean time. Very elegant feature that.

 Luckily not visible from afar. The reflective effect created by using black under the waterline has been very successful, which you see if not for the rain hiding the sun...


Close to finished, doing it's planned job of housing turtles in the mean time, but lots to go yet.
