Some friends gave us this fountain. It was white, with cracks and in terrible condition. We filled the cracks, used concrete primer, applied metallic paint and then sealed the areas where the water would touch. We've ended up with a beautiful fountain. Fall 2010 -
We found this great face at a garden shop in Morro Bay. We positioned it behind a couple of shrubs, so that it peaks out. It looks great at night with the spotlight shining on it. Fall 2010 -
