It's A Fountain

It has been quite a long while since the day we decided to have some sorts of water thingy in our house. After spending hours and hours staring at the most suitable place in the house and also visiting almost all the gardening shop for available materials I decided on a fountain. Put forward the proposal to the Home Minister and got the approval. She was a little disappointed that it was not going to be a waterfall. (A waterfall would be great, maybe in the front yard, next project??)

Yes it is more practical to have a fountain in the house area than a waterfall. A waterfall would be great but it is almost impossible to build a decent one in the house area unless you have a house like Equatorial Penang. It might not be a great hotel but I love their water thingy.

Last Sunday, my wife and I went round to the gardening shops to look at the things to get a feel of what exactly the fountain is going to be like. It was really interesting and exciting seeing our ideas materialising. We were spoilt for choice so we came back empty handed to further deliberate on the best design to suit the theme.

Monday was a hectic day and it slip by real fast so no physical progress was made, but theoretically we have a conclusion. We decided on having two came kind of jars cause the sauce bowl looks very pale. On Tuesday morning we decided to drop by another shop just to have a look see .......you know it was really fun just looking at these things. Oh my gosh!!!! guess what I found stashed away below the racks, yes the missing link to our design. We were totally elated with the piece of pottery that I found. Yes with that everything just fall into place.

It was really exciting to see our idea materialising piece by piece and we have to go to five places to get all the items needed. Some of the items were sourced from building material shop and for these items some additional work is required. No big deal just some painting and stabilising work.
Currently is doing the cosmetic work to the pond where the fountain will be located in and it might take awhile :) .............
