Harv,

'txdon' ask me to post this idea in your pond project thread....

txdon,

I was thinking it might be neat for Harv to have a 'memory' of him placed somewhere in the pond project. Similiar to the memory stones Harv has made in the past.

I'm attaching a picture......

The first lesson we learn here on TBN is to NEVER do what TXdon says. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The guys decided to put in a flower for the fishes.

Today we got the first and largest floating boulder placed.

One of those tubes will feed the noodle head fountain. The other will feed a water fall-bird bath effect.

Gravity is a big consideration when it comes to planning on how to keep the rocks sitting on the column and not just floating away.

But there's rebar pins to help gravity do her thing (we know gravity's a girl, an old girl).

Yesterday was Sunday and I took advantage of a bud's JCB 506C since he doesn't work his people or equipment on Sundays.

It was the cat's meow placing the sandstone slabs on the deck.

Mother nature is a great artist. But she needs some help on occasion with alignments when it comes to flagstone decks.
