Looking good!! Very resourceful!! Nice quiet spot to relax, will need a bench or couple of chairs near by to sit down & enjoy it!! All that for $20!!
Way to go!! Log looks great,too! Jan

well first attempt or not...that looks like a long time player has been working there. That is great.

And welcome. Sit and stay a while, a long while.

Great job! Around here (Milwaukee, WI) people like to bury bathtubs the long way into the ground to form shrines for the Mother Mary. he-he Not sure how she feels about being enshrined in a bathroom fixture.

I looks very nice. I especially love your big chunk of drift wood. I bet it will be a gorgeous setting when all the plants fill in. And I had a hard time seeing the broom! lol! After seeing your post, I had to actually look for it.

I can't wait to see your next project!

I certainly agree with what the others have said.
Nice job! And the driftwood...WOW. I'm nuts about stuff like that.

hugs, Karen

Really like what you have done. The weathered piece of wood adds to the charm. Great job.

Thanks to all of you! I think my next project will be turning the big satellite dish into a gazebo. I need a place where I can go to relax. Something that's all mine...Thanks again!

Oooh! Very nice. It looks like a nice place to sit and relax. Congratulations. Colleen

Great job!! It will look like it's been there all along when the plants fill in.

Love these old bathtubs & what a great pond you've created! Using the waterbed as a liner...what a save! I remember how hard it was getting rid of ours! Great ideas! Love the old wood & the flowers...will get even more beautiful as they mature...

Ideas to consider....maybe adding a few more smaller round rocks to fill a bit or some plants like moss, sedums or thymes ... don't know how they do in TX. but they help fill in the space. And they can all grow among your mulch, too!

Do you like "fake" GJ at all?...like a little turtle or frog sitting on one of your rocks or in the mulch. Your BB idea would be very nice, too!

Good saves! Great work! Thanks for sharing! Good luck on your satellite dish! Jeanne S.

p.s. I've add the link the GJers Inspiration Album of Ponds and Fountains created by Purplemoon...might give you even more ideas...you may have looked already).

Thanks for all your ideas. I do want to add more plants as the season progresses. We are in a drought here so I have to make sure everything is drought tolerant. I am looking for a frog or something to place in there. The "right" piece will show up at some point. I will continue to post as I get done and I always look forward to see what new projects you guys post...
Thanks again

Great job! Welcome to GJ.

Very smart, very pretty! Great way to recycle! Way to go. The driftwood is really a nice addition. ~tenderlee

Well, how cool is that? Using an old bath tub as a pond! Great idea! Can't wait to see what it will look like when plants start growing,etc. Love the piece of driftwood...makes a great accent!

You done a great job...Good going...

Fantastic and especially for a first attempt at repurposing - it's amazing!

I wonder if pond plants would work to hide the edge. I just saw some at the nursery and I know you can elevate the pots on something (rocks or empty pots) and place them along the edge of the pond - they would hide the liner quite nicely. Wouldn't be a problem in a drought as long as you have enough water to fill the pond.

Looking forward to seeing your satellite dish gazebo.
