Yeah, the water feature is still in the design stage - Tim and I agree we need one, but haven't agreed on what it should be yet. A waterfall down the front stairs? or a lagoon under the walkway? or both! But we're on a very steep hill, so we have to do some serious engineering to keep the house from sliding down the hill if we spring a leak. Incredible - I don't know which is better, the entry or the destination! The dramatic lighting is awesome. How does one create a waterfall. I've been mulling doing one myself, but I can't figure out the engineering. I suspect, just like a regular fountain, the water is captured in a plastic or stone basin, like those at HomeDepot or OSH, and the water runs up a tube from the pump, so the likelihood of that substantial of a leak is low.
