I think that sounds like a great idea TikiFred, I like the idea of the firebowls. I thought about those when we started our project, but I think it would be harder for us to tie into the gas lines since our house is electric. I've thought about gel firebowls or pinion wood (love the smell), but I'll have to do a bit more research.

Sounds like you are on your way to planning out an awesome pool fountain, can't wait to see pictures when you break ground!

As for our "Big Guy," I manged to stain him and seal him this weekend and he's starting to grow on me. I think he looks like an old tiki ruin, which I think will transition into the wooded area behind the pool when we remove the fence and incorporate the back of the property into the pool area.

I'm recycling some of the old sandstone left from the old fountain and will be putting it into the flat ledge of the tiki either by istesl or around a firebowl. I'll have to play with it a bit.

We've moved onto refinishing the pool so hopefully the next update with show everything recolored and finished with a water-filled pool and flowing tiki fountain!
