Tom and Pat’s Fountain

1987

My cousins-in-law, Pat and Tom, had this lovely raised-bed flower garden in their yard. They always felt that something was missing so I suggested that I build a fountain. First set down the plastic tub , then the wooden frame and rockwork surrounding it. One of my repurposed hand pumps was connected to a submerged pump and hid the electric line underground. Filled it with water and turned it on. Was very pleasant. Finally created the lattice at the end to finish it off. We were all very pleased with the results. It truly made the back yard something special.
