Pond Fountain250 viewsHere's a picture of the pond, showing the fountain we added in April 2003. In the background is the back of our house, and also Bailey. The waterfowl actually seem to kind of enjoy the fountain. We changed the nozzle of the fountain in 2004 which gives it a better pattern, and helps keep it from clogging.

Completed rails after finishing250 viewsThe finished view, from the top! We used a Minwax stain finish, which matched the color of our floors and related trim. Then we installed three coats of Minwax rub-on polyurethane. This was the first time we used rub-on poly, and we loved it. It was a joy to work with, especially with so many hard-to-reach surfaces to cover.

Checking things out242 viewsWilliam sits at the top of the newly-placed ladder. As we were lifting the ladder into position, and before we attached it, William wasted no time in scampering halfway up the ladder as we held it before we could stop him and get him to wait!
