Linda Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Posted October 29, 2007 A friend and landscape architect here on the central coast designed the fountain. The tub is made of "corten" steel, so it rusts and then "sets" with that patina. I had fun picking out tile colors starting with a KK color. The backsplash on the waterfalls is in frosted glass to look more like the seaglass I like to collect. Don't know about the power to run the fountain, but it is recirculating and is powered by a pool pump! I also put in a fire "table" with tumbled glass to try and emulate that same look. Here's a close up of it during the day: A night shot with the lights and fire table going: And the whole patio shot from the kitchen doorway. The fire table is at the far end. I've got a whole new room to enjoy, and with our mild winters here, and a good fire in the fire pit, I can be out all evening! Enjoy the photos, I'm going to go eat some leftovers!

I will NEVER hear the end of it!! She is always wanting one! It really is very nice! I compromised and bought a spa, it has a fountain feature in it! Close enough I say!

DavidS Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 Thanks. Ponds are fun. My wife and I did this one. We paid to have it dug, hard clay soil. We did the rest of it. It was work but well worth it.
LeadDog Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Hey Linda nice looking avatar. I recognize the spot.
