you add your additional layer so it has a chance to adhere well. Also, adding an admix or glue to the new mixture will help it adhere. Jo

Limestone is something I stay away from largely when it comes to ponds. Many people will tell you that it will cause extensive problems with pH and other issues. I think it is largely overstated in most cases, especially if the limestone is weathered well, but in this case it could become an issue. Pretending limestone wasn't involved I would still tell you that you will loose water. Whether it will be huge amounts every day or not, I'm not sure without seeing it. But there will be loss. Even on small concrete or retaining wall features I would put liner behind the rock/block. Does everyone, no, but you will lose water. With that being said if you are on well water and your well can handle it, an auto fill could be the answer. You're risking making something unstable or debris issues, but it all depends on what type of feature this would be. I'd talk to someone in your area that has experience with this type of thing. Whether that be a pond specialist, geologist, or some type of ecologist, that is up to you. Do you have a local extension office in your area? Good luck.

Just make a ledge just below the bottom of the windows about 8" below and the width should be around 15-18" to accommodate up to a 75" HDTV. The ledge would run the entire length of the windows. You can built-in shelves for DVDs and other stuff you would be using with your TV too or just make it look like a bookcase. The height of the ledger would depend on how high your bed is in relation to the viewing position of the TV.

I think replacing the window and moving it higher is a good idea. On HOUZZ you’ll see lots of pics where a shower window is place horizontal, high up on the wall. If you are remodeling the bathroom, which is expensive, the cost of dealing with the window would be worth it in my view. I’ve read on here that a vinyl window is required, but I don’t know much about how they are waterproofed. If you are hiring a GC, make sure they hire a qualified tile pro who knows how to waterproof a window. It’s a good idea to meet and check the credentials of the tile pro the GC hires.
