They make these hand pumps now that are easy to use if you have to drain it for cleaning or even in case of a freeze. You just pump it a few times, and the pump takes over and empties your fountain for you for maintenance.<BR/><BR/>We have a concrete fountain. It's base is a very large seashell on a pedestal, and in it stands a little boy who is holding another shell out of which water is pouring. It looks like he's filled it too full, and the water is cascading out of the shell he's holding. I love it. I love the sound of it, and I think it adds a nice element to our garden. <BR/><BR/>Be sure to get one that's big enough to make a statement. You won't regreat it, Diane. It took four men to get ours off the truck it was so heavy, but we have thoroughly enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>XO,<BR/><BR/>Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887026011030740030.post-26292587429484505692009-03-25T22:43:00.000-05:002009-03-25T22:43:00.000-05:00It is lovely.

It would have to be worth a lot of money for someone to even think about picking up that heavy thing and stealing it! We have a waterfall that comes off the back of our pool, and the sound is so nice. I think you'd love having a fountain in your yard. In a previous house, I had a fountain, but it was not loud enough. You had to be right next to it to hear it (that's what I get for being a bargain hunter)! Good luck on your fountain search. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887026011030740030.post-48291061114002263142009-03-25T17:39:00.000-05:002009-03-25T17:39:00.000-05:00Hey, Diane, Oh I love fountains too & got a pr...Hey, Diane, Oh I love fountains too & got a pretty neat free one last year at a yardsale that I'll be working on this year.
