The Fountain








Before I take off for a couple days to be with my mom at the rehab center, I thought I would share the photos of the new fountain. We were able to complete it before our company arrived. Barely!

But, it is finished. The fountain is a grouping of rocks with lit water pouring from two of them onto others surrounded by even smaller rocks. Perfect for our Asian inspired garden.

It wasn’t like our older one that was just plugged in and off we went. No, this one had to have an electrician for 5 hours install special wiring so it is waterproofed for the switches for the water pump and the tiny lights that light the water as it flows out of the rocks.

Then, we did not get the right light for one of the rocks. Return, Fed Ex’d new one. Also wrong. Finally sent the right one.

Once all the lights were in and the plastic tub was filled with water, Michael arranged the huge rocks and finally added the smaller rocks to cover the tub.

Finished. Pretty. Lit at night.

It was a lot of work.
