  • Here is my tea pot fountain in full bloom. 8
  • 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

Make Your Poinsettias Bloom Year After Year

Poinsettias will bloom year after year if you care for them properly. The Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service published a fantastic, simple chart that details how to make a poinsettia reflower. Simply, in March, remove the flower and cut stems to 6 inches. In June, repot the plant in a larger pot. Then plant it (in the pot) outside. In July, pinch off the lateral shoots. In late August, take the plant inside. From September 20th to December 1st, keep your poinsettia ...»
in light from 8 AM to 5 PM only. Keep it in darkness from 5 PM to 8 AM. This will cause the poinsettia to flower by Christmas.

Flanked my Driveway with Flagstone

My wife wanted a nice place to step out of her vehicle. But because I own such a large truck she had to park all the way next to the grass. So I added a flagstone walkway on each side ...»
of my driveway. It wasn't cheap and it certainly wasn't light!

    There is always one more project. It seems that I haven't even finished a project and there's ...»
    another one waiting. I am currently working on one and have at least two waiting for me to start on--hope our weather gets a little better soon. 54° in the afternoon is way too cool for June. I had to dig a number of holes recently and it takes hours getting past the rocks on this hill in the lowlands of Mt. Rainier. Keep up the good work Jason.

    Looks like a great place to cool off from the Texas heat.
