An ugly fountain
I didn't know there were solar-powered fountains. Great idea! There was no way to hide the electrical cord from a traditional fountain for me. Thanks!
that's the ugliest fountain I have ever seen, serenity now! serenity now!
Says "take" a lot, but never says what should be taken? I don't get it. In any case, enjoy the program/videos.
All that work for something that will always look like a wet block of cement.
He’s such a gentleman lol
If I put that fountain in my back yard it would devalue my home. It’s that ugly.
I’ve been looking for a solar pump, Where is the solar pump from?
"Wack it" like it when you hear it
