  • Here is my tea pot fountain in full bloom. 7
  • We drilled a a hole in the tea pot and then threaded it. We attached flanges to a solid concrete block to support both the tea pot and the gold pan. The block is heavy enough to support the weight of the unit underwater. 5
  • We then built a support for the gold pan and dropped the unit into the whiskey barrel. We added a fountain pump and inserted tubing up through the tee on the bottom of the pipe that supports the tea pot and into the tea pot. 1
  • Add water and your done! The unit is free standing so it can be leveled and no holes are drilled in the whiskey barrel. I put it all away every winter and take it out and set it up in the spring. 1
  • Last year we poured a concrete base that the whiskey barrel sits on so it doesn't sink into the dirt. 1

Our Restyled Built-ins

This was one of my husbands best makeovers. He removed the doors from the built-ins, patched all of the wholes, backed all of them with bead-board and added more substantial shelves. He ...»
then painted it a glossy white. It was my job to fill it with our unique finds. My hubby really has an eye for home improvement. He is handy to have around. :)
