Update on Retaining Wall Fountain

I've gotten some more done on the retaining wall fountain this past weekend.  Previously I made a polyurethane rubber mold of the clay fountain head that I made as shown in the picture below.

 

I cast one out of concrete using the polyurethane mold and mortared it in place.  I also cast a base for the lower basin and cast an upper basin using some bowls that I sourced from a dollar store and cut in half.






Now I need to get the lower basin form assembled and get it cast.

Raised Garden Bed Complete

Finished the cover for the first raised garden bed.  Decided to go with EMT conduit for the frame to support the netting.


Here are the assembled hoops setup in a trial run.  I decided to add bars at the base on each side and double up the end hoops to create a track system with some PVC connectors to allow the netting on each side to be raised and lowered.  You can see in the next two pictures with the netting installed the track system that allows the bar on each side slide up with the netting for access to the garden bed from each side.
