Area in the back yard that gets hardly any sun, right off of our deck. Nothing grows there.....just a big mudpit....fixed it.

4300 lbs of flagstone....had some left over so built a fountain....
Still have to add a few plants and some color....not to bad for a 2 day project....

Side note...this deal took me two days....look at the elephant ears in the back of the first picture and then again in the final fountain picture....they went without water for 4 days and look at them....we have averaged over 100 here for like 12 days in a row now. Didnt even notice till I was posting these.....poor things, need to go give them a drink.

Nice work.
I like the masonry bit through the flagstone ala pipe up the middle for a home grown fountain. Brilliant. cheep, functional, and good looking.

I am disappointed by this thread. It is not what I expect when I open a thread from Gator titled "This weekend's project"...

Other than that, nice work.

Something like this, perhaps?

Yeah... less clothes... and at least one more woman... but something like that.

Also, why is her left boob so much bigger than the right boob?
