jen, Did you get the fountain hooked up? You shouldn't need to drill a hole. Just set the pump in the bucket with the tubing (connects to the dog) and the electrial wire going over the back of the tub. Once it's set up and water running you'll barely notice the wire.

Wonderful sculptures!! Don't take DH tools- fasttrack to divorce court!!LOL Men love their tools & women love men that know how to make something with them. These folks sure knew what they were doing. Horse is awesome, just the planning would do me in! Vicki, I think that would be a wonderful memorial to your dad & would make you smile every time you see it!! Love the idea! Jan

When I buy garden tools I buy good tools. AQs soon as I've finished using them I wash them off with the hose and lay them on the patio in the sun to dry. By the time I get finished putting other things away they are dry and I hang them in the Garden shed where the have good air circulation. My husband put a board across the studs on one side of the door and we have a series of hooks across the boar. All my small garden tools hang there. He put another one across on the other side and the larger tools hang there. 2 large nails left proud of the board holds the heads of the large tools with the handles hanging down. Hanging tools and putting them away clean and dry allows for good circulation around them and keeps the rust away. You need moisture to create rust and that musty smell

Blum makes 2 metal drawers sold under thier own name, tandembox and metabox. The tandem is the 'bells and whistles' line, but there is nothing wrong with the metabox. I beleive Ikea offers a somewhat lesser line made just for them-- still a great value, thanks to Ikea's massive buying power, but not exactly identical to the ones sold under the Blum name. I think some of the deeper drawers in both lines use a box of limited depth, with a rod above to steady the drawer front. Even counting the rods, the sides are a couple inches lower than the drawer face. There is a limit to how far you want to push that equation, since the drawer could be damaged if the upper part of the drawer face was getting pushed and pulled without adequete support. This is why you have to go with doors and pullouts if you want super low sides. But a custom or semi-custom cab line should give you the option of doing somewhat lower sides. My current drawers are metabox, and came with my Superior brand cabs, which I like very much. I think there are a lot of other cab lines that offer them, but I don't know any specifics on that. As with Superior, they may not trumpet the 'Blum' name, you may have to ask or better, familiarize yourself with the product to the degree that you know it when you see it. Blum is an innovative company that's responsible for a lot of the new stuff for kitchens, like their new corner drawers and the 'tip' system that elimantes drawer handles, makes drawers 'press to open'.
