Creating a Welded Waterfall - Kevin Caron

Rube Goldberg lives! Working with the landscape company Life's A Garden, Kevin explains - and demonstrates - a series of metal troughs he's welding together to create an aqueduct with waterfalls to funnel rainwater from a client's roof over their patio into their front yard, where it will soak back into the earth. When Kevin pours some water into the system, he proves it still, well, needs a little more welding, but it's all in the plan, really!

Hi Bill

Thanks for the kind words. The tree has been moved outside and the branchs are all attached. Just starting to put the hands on it. Come over to the website and check out "Hands On" when you have the chance. Or just watch the video here.

We'll definitely do that. It'll look a lot different when it's done as it will have a rust patina.

When it's installed, we'll take a video of it on site, working.
