The fountain is up and running.
Remember when it looked like this? (click on any photos to enlarge) Each rock had to be scrubbed clean.
It took a lot of elbow grease to scrub loose paint and rust off of the fountain.
Then I had to prime and paint the whole thing.
It was worth it to see it running once again.
Next project is lifting all of these crooked pavers. The roots from the honey locusts have to be pried up and cut. Then the pavers need to be relaid evenly. It is rather treacherous to walk back here right now.
A long shot from the end of the pool. Ahhh...nothing like the sound of running water on a hot day.
