    So my wife said I want this....



    I'm not sure where the original image is from but she said " Do it for under $60"

    Here is my version





    Its a pretty easy build as you can see here



    A little out of focus but you get the idea... Tomorrow I will add the pump and stuff.

    Terrific! I bet you could make five of them for the price of something store bought of this caliber! I want to make another fountain! Love the looks of yours.

    Great idea to use the half pots. Looks better than the inspiration with the skull and vines at the bottom. Much creepier.

    AWESOME. I really like inspiring props!

    Maybe add a misting device too?

    Another thought is to put a light under some sealed pexi at the bottom of each "tub". Some up lighting on it would be "killer"!

    If I'm not mistaken, those aren't half pots as Terra posted. Or, are they?

    Also, please let us know what type of pump you're using on this.

    My brother created a bleeding tombstone one year. He had an old mini-fountain pump and it wasn't strong enough to get the red dyed water up to where he wanted. It never did "bleed". But it still looked like a cool tombstone.

    Looks great......I'm looking forward to a video with the pumps running.
    When storage is a concearn, put your monster props under the kids beds.
