Vertical Carved Concrete Pump House
I have flower beds all throughout the yard. Which, in the heat of summer requires hoses all over the yard. I'd like to say "he loves me" and that's why he trenched water lines everywhere to help me keep my flowers alive, but the truth is he was really sick of hoses everywhere! I'll take it- watering is so much easier!
Now, to hide the pump...sounds like a good summer project doesn't it?

First dug out and poured a pad with footings, then the framing begins.
Inner framing is nearly done.
Inner framing and rebar getting closer.
Ready to pour. Inner framing is done, rebar in place and outer framing with supports is in.
Here's a look from the lake side. Pour in progress.
I won't be doing any work to the top so he's stamping it.
Removing the forms. Almost my turn...
Here's the finished product. Took me a couple days to get it carved and another couple of hours for color.
Someday it'll get a door. Not sure when...but someday!
Now when I want to water all I have to do is flip that little switch and turn on faucets located strategically throughout the yard. (Some still require hoses while others are now hooked to a sprinkler system). Thanks babe- works great!
