Success in Their Eyes (working title)
Progress Made
Currently, I have the structure for the waterfall made using styrofoam. I have also finished the vases where the water will sit. Most of my time was wasted this weekend making and waiting for the concrete versions to dry. Yesterday, I resorted to plan b; switching to plastic vases. Water is able to flow through without the pump powering it. Additionally, the electrical components and code are functional and working as planned.
What’s Left?
The waterfall base needs to be sealed and painted. The vases also need to be painted and glue down to the base. I need to find a more flexible hose since the current one I have will not fit into the styrofoam structure. Once a better hose is chosen, I can add the pump and arrange the sensor and its components. Finally, I can add more decorations like rocks and moss to make the waterfall feel more realistic and play around with the settings of the pump.
