I’ve hesitated posting the final product on this job because there is a lesson for me. The first picture was my vision incorporating what the client wanted and the video is the final product delivered sent to me from the jobsite.

The reason it doesn’t match is client interference. The client kept interfering and insisting on his own way (the color) so he got what he wanted and I’m not totally happy with the result but it was his fountain so be it.

I think I’m going to amend my contracts moving forward that my vision goes or I’m not involved. I don’t like being involved in projects that I’m disappointed with the final result even if it wasn’t my choices that made it that way. I’m probably being too hard on myself here.

Posting this at midnight, need to get to bed! I got the pond job but we’re calling it a fountain now. I don’t have to pull a permit for this so we’ll just build it.

Made a template today (in my garage!) because the homeowner wants to see a full sized version of it in the space before we start digging, setting rebar, and pouring concrete. Pictures and drawings are not enough for them to final approve the shape and size.

Tomorrow morning I’ll set it up in the space and finalize everything. (Hopefully)
