Here's more to add to the list:
White lights (the good ones) $200

[-DEADLY SUSHI-]

Fountain...$5,800

Wow! Ok.... so far way under budget! About the fountain...... its nice but how much for the water wall that surounds it and the water pump and the electrical work to run a line out to it?
And the cobblestone.... VERY nice... but is that with install?
ALSO, the plants and aquatic life..... what happens when it freezes over the winter?

Out side of that..... it will look beautiful!!!

 

[-DEADLY SUSHI-]

Awwwww..... wheres Middie? We were going to have pie and wine.

 

[jkath]

Wow! Ok.... so far way under budget!
Thank you - I can always find the best deals.

About the fountain...... its nice but how much for the water wall that surounds it and the water pump and the electrical work to run a line out to it?
Bang's guys quoted it at $1950 for the install at first, but after I made them a huge tri-tip dinner and gave them some Mondavi 2002 Cab, and tickets to Brian Setzer, they cut it down to $675.

And the cobblestone.... VERY nice... but is that with install?That is WITH the install! apparently this is the newest in the line, and we will be the first to have it, so they will be using it for their video demonstrations. (I told you I can always get the best deal)
ALSO, the plants and aquatic life..... what happens when it freezes over the winter?
There is a little unit, around $89 that is hooked into the electrical system of the fountain. It heats and keeps the water at a steady 72 degrees, no matter what the weather.

Out side of that..... it will look beautiful!!!

Still working on the ivy.
Hey, since Middie's gone, can I share the pie and wine?

[luvs]

i'm hungry! i want quiche. guess i'd better get to work on it. any requests?
i was thinking jack and cheddar with bacon for some, and ham and asparagus for the others. or maybe proscuitto.
hey, that reminds me...

 

[jkath]

Proper English Ivy, carefully puttied onto our existing wall $1,213.

Black eyed Susans, planted
in a semi-circle around the base of the ficus tree: $53.






6 hanging fuschia baskets, $160.

5 Umbrellas to shade our guests, $892.

I've changed the chairs and tables - I like these a bit more:

but, we'll go with the large sized table, enough to accommidate at least 4 guests at a time. The quoted price remains. I've also added matching green seat cushions for $612.

 

[jkath]

prociutto quiche coming up, luvs!
Here ya go!

 

[luvs]

i LOVE the decor!
