Creating a fountain from objects that look like a large pot is a do-it-yourself job...right? I see these types of fountains in the big box stores. My job was different but close enough to get me started. My Dad had saved two slightly chipped 50 year old insulators he salvaged from his job at Alabama Power Co. I wanted to create a memorial garden for my Dad. The insulators weighed about 45 pounds each. This was a two person job so I hired my handyman to help. Deciding how much splash the fountain would create was guesswork at best. I searched/priced the big black tubs you bury. I decided on the size, gallons of water, weight limit, etc based on guesswork. After researching pumps, I bought one that should have been perfect. Now the hard part. The insulators are hollow. In my mind, you just attach PVC to the pump and turn it on. No. After hours and hours trying everything we could think of, it would not work the way we thought it would. I bought 3 pumps before we found one that sort of worked. Counting my handyman hours, my time and money, materials, gas, etc., I am close to $1,000 and nothing worked like we thought it would. I called Daniel after reading the reviews from Angie's list. He came out within a few days, gave me two options. I really needed a larger tub, different pump, different plumbing, different set up, and start over again. OR he could get a different pump, different plumbing, and fix what was wrong for $250. I will have to fill the fountain more often (which is a pain). It took about 3 hours and Daniel had the fountain running like it was supposed to work. It is really beautiful. I could have saved money by calling a professional 1st. I wasted my time, money, and stress. I learned that if you want something done right, call a professional. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to do business with. He will be able to do the maintenance and repair
