THE TOP ROW

The only blocks left after the top row are going to be used to build the waterfall. But first, my goal was to have the basic structure (five rows-191 blocks-75 bags of mortar-2 1/2 yards of concrete-235' of rebar) finished by the first day of school.
There weren't any jet housings in this row, which fittingly made the top the easiest and fastest. Just like I had hoped, I finally got a little better at this!
I had to add some rebar to the existing verticals in the north end to support the waterfall structure, but that again was not hard after what I had already done.
Two days before school started, I had reached my goal. It has started to really look like a spa, and the addition of the waterfall wall will complete the structure.
