I keep thinking I ought to be able to set up some sort of loop system thing that moves the water through the bowls via gravity. No? Too hopeful?

The sprinkler emitter is sealed to the drainage hole with silicone, so it doesn't leak out and the water can't drain back into the sprinkler head because it's a bubbler type, so there's no reverse-action going on.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-89513042726104097962012-06-13T16:32:34.092-07:002012-06-13T16:32:34.092-07:00Doesn't the water drain back out through the s...Doesn't the water drain back out through the sprinkler head???Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386058413144029065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-79924220961553254152010-06-12T13:16:45.334-07:002010-06-12T13:16:45.334-07:00i am starting to think you might be a genius.i am starting to think you might be a genius.cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022650911172987454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-21199432339876302762010-02-24T11:25:59.161-08:002010-02-24T11:25:59.161-08:00i love this project. especially the little man in...i love this project. especially the little man in there....so funny.Philigryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830448931204543522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-1781703296169957222010-02-19T15:28:50.006-08:002010-02-19T15:28:50.006-08:00I've only discovered you RIGHT THIS VERY MINUT...I've only discovered you RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE and have come to the following conclusion: you are comprised of pure awesome. and I love you. <br /><br />too soon? too fast? <br /><br />that's what you get for being altogether brilliant and appropriately sedentary. <br /><br />I will, however, restrain myself and save the "I'm gonna find a way to ensure we're lifelong bff's" declaration until next time. cause, you know, I wanna play hard to get.breannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000677900186433619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-88281318890942715782010-02-19T10:02:07.850-08:002010-02-19T10:02:07.850-08:00Oh you are so cool!

You must really love birds to spend all that time planning and executing a place for them to bathe.<br /><br />Also, you weren't seriously considering sending copper to the DUMP, were you? Do you have any idea how much copper is worth? You could have started your scrapping career with this bird bath.<br /><br />But I think your bath is much nicer than a scrapping career.
