I'm totally trying that! Thanks for the great tip!

I really wanted to get one of those fancy lit up colorfalls, but at $250 bucks, I decided to put the money elsewhere. I can always do one in a few years when budget allows should I want to. I'll just use some strategic (and cheap) landscape lighting for a similar effect. If my hubby knew exactly what this build was costing us, I think he'd flip his lid!
koikeepr said:Koidaddy, all I can say is that the tiles were $1.79 at Lowes. Would I have wanted a cultured stack stone look? Sure! But that was just not going to be affordable on a pond this size. So, I had to find places to scrimp, and this was one. That being said, I am no less thrilled by the results. Can't wait to seal the slate with a wet look product that will help bring out the deep colors in each slate tile. The cheap price on the slate made my Utra Sieve doable. It was all about balancing the costs and being reasonable about it all.
If I've inspired you or anyone else, it makes me even happier.
