Just a quick video of the extensive boating lake I have installed at enormous expense to test my Pop Pop (Putt Putt) boats. When I tried it out I found that it is too cold and too windy to do much with it today. I may have to put some sort of wind break around it and ensure the heater/candle/tealight is wind proofed. Or just wait for calm summer evenings. My boating lake is just some old fencing posts and some brick laid out in a rectangle. I then laid a plastic sheet over it and filled it with water. I put extra bricks around the outside to hold the plastic sheet still in the wind. It is only about 2 inches deep, which is plenty for my toy boats.

I try to recycle or repurpose items rather than buy items and when I do buy items I try to minimise the costs. http://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
