i wanted a fountain for my yard, but well they are expensive, sooo i scrounged around the backyard found an azalea pot, a 14" saucer, a 12" strawberry jar, stole the pump from my aquarium(i'll put the airpump back), went out and bought tubing, a four inch pot, and a 4" saucer... The pump goes in the small pot and is wrapped in screening to act as a filter, then the pump and tubing is put in the azalea pot (made waterproof by plugging drain hole with aquarium sealant than painting the inside), the 14" saucer with a center hole drilled in it for the tubing and several drain holes is placed ontop of the bucket the strawberry jar goes ontop of of the saucer with the tubing threaded through the drain hole, then the four inch saucer (with a hole for the tubing drilled in it is placed on top of the strawberry jar, fill the two saucers with river rock fill the azalea pot with water and sink it into the ground and you have a very nice cheap fountian, total construction time about an hour of course if you have to go out to buy all this stuff it'll cost about $50, but heck scrounge around, be creative....
