H2 Ohhhhh

This week's little project was to put a water feature into the backyard. Sadly an infinity pool would not quite fit so went with the fountain. I'd spent some time trying to find one on eBay but was shocked at how expensive some of them were. In the end I elected to build my own.

I started with a massive pot from Bunnings. It was not glazed inside so I had to put a few coats of this pond sealer stuff in there. It was pretty easy after that. I got the low voltage light and pump so put the power cords through one of the hole sin the bottom and then used this really cool epoxy stuff called Knead It. It's basically this stuff which looks and feels like Blutak. You knead it for a minute or so and then apply and it dries within an hour and is rock solid.

I topped it off with a little metal bird I got from some junk shop in in Brisbane yesterday. It's come up a treat and the sound of the water is really relaxing.

Opps this spray attachment was a bit to big
