Thanks! Here's another update.
After a 12-day trip back East I did a little work today. We drove back from visiting our son and family on Monday and drove through the Western Maryland mountains with some significant snow squalls, heavy headwinds and steadily collapsing temperatures. The LaCrosse handled it in stride and we made it home safely.
I poured the realistic water today in Ravine #2. The silicon caulk dams were fully cured and more or less transparent. I poured on the W-S, but went on too quickly and before long the "water" was pouring over the dam on one end and onto the floor. That stuff's expensive and I didn't like wasting any. I threw an old towel on the floor to capture the spillage. I also found that even though I poured liquid plaster on the river base to make it level, It really isn't since there's more water on the right end than the left. Tomorrow it should be cured enough to show if the job is done. It cures completely transparent.
If you look closely at the above picture, you can see a drip caught in mid-air.
I also added a skin coat of joint compound on the new road I'm building. I'll sand that tomorrow and finish landscaping that back portion.
When the water is fully cured, I'll add the ripple effects around the bridge pier with the realistic water effects. I will then layout, cut and install the fascia boards for this ravine.
