Hello,
I am starting to work with a large fountain type deal that wraps around the
current building I am creating. I want to use actual water, but my first
attempt in channelling it left the entire thing soaking wet; the bricks were
not tight enough and water seeped through them. I have tightened them as best I
can, but they still have too many gaps. Does anyone have any reccomendations on
how to fix this? And while I'm on the subject of water, does anyone know if
pneumatics can pump water? I'm thinking of using a pump to get the water to the
top of the building, where it will cascade down a trough.

PS- Four studs aranged in a square, like on top of a 2x2 brick, can hold a ton
of water without it going in between the gaps between the studs. Odd.
