<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">I decided to add a bit more to the foyer area by embellishing the trio of wood carvings.

A quick weekend project involving some wood framework covered in pebble tiles. I also tried to add a little visual interest by imbedding some fossilized shark teeth in the stone.</span></span>

You've got quite a creative streak, and the talent to go along with it. Very nice.

<span style="font-weight: bold">You're too kind.

We'll be expecting more pics of the rock star playground you're building as they become available.</span>

<span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">My project over the last couple days - Decided to display the house numbers with a little more &quot;tropical&quot; flair. A little scrap wood, some left over paint, new numbers, a pineapple...done. </span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Got bored last weekend and decided to make a small water feature between two Bird of Paradise plants in the backyard. I also added a small bird bath for all the hummingbirds that dive bomb us when we're outside. I'm hoping it will be a peace maker.

The first pic is &quot;before&quot;, of course.

The link below the pic is a short video I shot after it was done.

Looks good. Did you put a pan or tub under the fountain and rocks to recycle the water?

[Chick_Maggot]

Yes. I bought all the components from Home Depot and they gave me a free bucket which is what I used.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Had to do a little more work in the backyard because of an impulse buy at the local nursery. This stump was too cool to pass up. Still need to finish it with some greenery and flowers. I also tried to give is a little Tiki flair (to go with the rest of the yard) with my first attempt and carving with a Dremel. </span></span>
