Well, hubs and I finally found a fountain we agree on! :banana::banana::banana::w00t: Been fighting over this for several weeks. I finally called a fountain/waterfall installer about 60 miles away. He gave me an estimate over the phone of 10 to 15,000 dollars. LOL...this is a 50 square foot hole that we wanted some artificial rock put in with a pondless waterfall.....a two day job! I told him no thank you. So we started looking for an already made unit we could put in ourselves. Found a gorgeous one (we think) on Amazon....will add decorator rocks, some plants, a couple of container trees, and VOILA!! All for less than $2000. :toast:

I think I mentioned that threatening with an installer would do it. :lol:

    Yep....come on out, and we will do a trip with jj and Lisa. :D To a local park and eat Jimmy John's. :D


    Oh, that would be so much fun! And Jimmy John's Beach Club on their multi grain bread is one of my most favorite meals!

    Sigh. This vaca has me working my fingers to the bones :facepalm: We are going to spend a week in the NC mountains in September :) But no trip planned to Chi-town this year :(

    I thought of that, but I was stuttering when I called him and told him the price. Hard to bargain when you are stuttering in amazement. I figured it would be high since he was from the Chicago suburbs and used to installing things in million dollar homes.....but OMG. I figured maybe 4 or 5,000, and knew that would get hubs attention....the real estimate really got his attention. :D

    Why don't you two make it a DIY project!?! :D. Then I could watch you on Renovation Realities :laugh:

    Actually the DIY network that I was watching was just a tease :sneaky: They showed it for a couple of weeks, got me hooked, then had the nerve to say I would have to 'subscribe' to it one day when I tuned into that channel. :grr:

    LOL....that is how they get you. Dirty Buggers! I watched two episodes of Pillars of the Earth on Reelz Channel....was so excited cause I loved the book. Tuned in for the third episode and it said..."Continued on Showtime....call Direct TV now! Never got to see the rest, and it was really good! :facepalm:
