To finish off the front porch update I figured it was time for a little staining.
After awhile that nice new pressure treated wood started to look dull and dingy. My husband has said many times he doesn't like it when people stain pressure treated wood but it looks horrible.

This was probably the most sad what fountain I have seen in awhile. It hasn't actually seen water for at least 3 years and that is for two reasons, first the kids would play in it and empty out the water. The second reason is that that pump just stopped working, probably something to do with the kids emptying the water, lol. So I decided to bring it back to life and re-purpose it, so I made it into a planter.

Good job! Especially with the weather in Calgary! Come see my son's room. It has a lot of Alberta. I grew up in Calgary!
I'm so happy I found your blog through Kara's linking party today.
I'd like to invite you to share your projects at my weekly linking party sometime also. I'd like to grow my weekly party with nice quality projects just like this one. Here is the direct link if you'd like to check it out sometime. Thanks for the consideration.
