This is an amazing Saturday.Jason and I had been talking about putting a fountain in our yard since before we moved into our home. We had fantasized about a tropical paradise, we joked about turning our yard into Gilligan's Island, we drew plans, we put thoughts on paper and transformed
our plan into the computer using photoshop.Today, with our in-law's help, our plans were put into action and our yard transformed right before our very own eyes. We have our very own fountain and rock garden. And we did it all by ourselves with lots of help from my parents-in-law. We probably would not and could not have done it without them.
We started digging since 7.30am. We also got 2 pallets of rocks from the landscaping place down the road. After much digging, shovelling and fitting the rocks like a jigsaw puzzle, our mission was accomplished by 6pm.Now, we just need more soil, plants and river rocks (and probably some painkillers because I'm sure we'll be all achy tomorrow morning)!

Those aren't fish in there, are they? Trouble will make short work of THAT.
No..no.. those ugly fake orangey reddish things are fake water lilies. It came with the fountain.
I am still waiting to see what Trouble will do. I know he's got some tricks up his paws already.
Wow, everyone is so creative and handy...wished I could help you with the job.. :) Very impressive!
I can't wait until your nephews get into that thing... and they will. :)
We built it with them in mind. Round rocks around the outside to trip over - check. Sharp flat rocks on the rim to impact on small skulls - check. Water for drowning - check. Pretty flower in the middle to encourage leaning - check.
