Probably a perfect application for one of those water heaters that heats right at the spigot. Probably still very expensive tho.

Really just kidding but you are right those are nice.

Ric S, you and your son are extremely handy. Really nice work.

Yes, They really are and it makes it so nice having someone to build things for me.

Holly, if you were closer I'd ask if you rent Ric out for projects. My hubby could learn some of those skills

Both of our son's are very handy and live close by so Ric can usually get help with a project if he needs it. We are planning a pretty big arbor for over the area where the potting shed and flats bench are and probably Josh will be helping with that. I get my hands into things, too. Most likely I will be doing the staining and running the router helping getting the pieces ready and then they will put them up. We have a very long list of projects and are always finding something else that we would like to add.

Holly, I am the main painter, carpenter, and earth mover for our household. David is good for helping with the heavy work, electrical and some plumbing. Always have lots of projects in the wings. Changing out light fixtures this week-end always is something to do.

You sure are right there is always something to do.

Well, nothing fancy here, but functional for sure. We remodeled the kitchen and took out a hated island and it is now my potters bench and storage shed all tucked under the deck, it will do until we get something better, a good recycle I guess! Right now it is covered w/ a tarp and sits on top of bricks and was painted with exterior paint to help it through the winter. Also, a old bathroom sink is a birdbath.

Looks perfect to me! What a great recycle! Looks like it is covered with a cat in the picture.

Looks like a very functional reuse to me Linda.

I love them! Especially the piano-water-fall!

Thank you and thank you for the acorn. That was very nice. I will surely pay it forward.
I like the piano too.

They had a piano waterfall at the Phila Flower Show a few years ago. They had a brass section, too. I really liked the Tuba fountain. Sorry, don't think I could find the pics of it anymore.
MissingRosie, I am back home from the last trip. Trying to catch up.

You have covered a lot of territory...but you still havegreat weather to work with.

It snowed so recently there

Oh the Gardens are lovely right now. The Spring bulbs are blooming, some of the dwarf iris are in bloom, the creeping phlox, early spring bloomers and some of the shrubs. The work we (mostly Ric) put into cleaning the beds before we left really paid off. I will be posting pics once I down load the Trip pictures and can get out there to take a few shots.

Well, you are sufficiently rested up to get the work started ...you will have to build some muscles

@MISSINGROSIE I have my grandmothers old piano that I wanted to make a waterfall out of like the picture you posted above. Have you ever seen directions on how to get the waterfall feature installed? Someday, I am going to do this with my piano in remembrance of my grandmother. I am just not sure how to go about it. I'd appreciate hearing any comments from anyone.
