I've wanted one... Now I have one!!

My husband thinks I'm nuts... ok that's a given..how bout rocks in my head?? Nope just around the pond!!

It's about 3' across and slopes off on the one side. We are hoping that when this is running that it will give the birdies a birdbath spot. Where will it go?? uhhh not sure on that one yet..details details

It's sacred..it's holey

Wow! that's awesome. Can I have one?

It should make a great pool for the little critters. I can see the beautiful moss growing on it already where it spills over into the pond.

Some women want rocks to wear on their fingers, etc.

Those are too small for us.. we want ones that can't be lifted@

Oh boy, what a find! That will be great! The birds should love it, I have a robin that comes every day for his bath on my flat slate.

That is a pretty sweet rock

Do you mind if I ask how much moolah you had to shell out?

Now THAT is a rock

It'll be great, you'll have to post a pic when it's done.

Wow, now thats a nice rock.

If I were to ask my hubby to drill a hole in a rock like that, I'm sure I would get "the look".
Be sure and post pics when its done.

I'd love to have one of those to. Very nice.

When I had the big pond built, I wanted a big rock near it for me to sit on and watch the fish. I had the hardest time making the landscaper understand what I wanted. He brought me half a dozen benches which I sent back. Then he brought me polished marble hunks to make a bench out of - those also went back. He got closer when he brought me some granite stones to make a bench out of, but those went back too. I finally just got in the car and drove him to the stone yard, found a nice sitting rock and said "Get that and put it just above the pond." He was completely dumbfounded.

I still love that rock.

That's the way to do it Teresa.

frloplady · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2007, 05:38:11 PM »

And Theresa the picture of your rock is where?? post it sister!! I wanna see it!

Teresa · « **Reply #17 on:** April 02, 2007, 07:08:43 AM »

Don't have a great picture of just the rock, but if you look under the bushes on the left side of this pic - it's there so I can sit on it and watch the fish . . . . .

Johns · « **Reply #18 on:** April 02, 2007, 07:20:52 AM »

Alright, I give up! how did you drill the hole?

frloplady · « **Reply #19 on:** April 02, 2007, 08:48:29 AM »

I didn't

They drilled it before I picked it up.

They used a jackhammer type instrument with a diamond core drill bit on it of some kind. It takes them about an hour per foot if I remember right what the guy said.
