I APPEAL TO YOUR CREATIVE SIDE

IN ONE OF THE ROOMS IN THIS HOUSE THERE IS A 2' WIDE BY 15' LONG AND ABOUT 1' DEEP CONCRETE KOI POND. RIGHT NOW IT HAS NO WATER OR FISH IN IT. INSTEAD IT HAD BEEN USED AS A CATCH ALL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHEN THEY WERE DOING THEIR REMODELING.

BECAUSE OF MY GRANDSON WE DON'T DARE USE IT AS A POND. NO FISH WOULD BE SAFE IN THERE WITH HIM AROUND. HE WOULD USE IT AS HIS PERSONAL INDOOR POOL WHENEVER NO ONE WAS LOOKING.

WE TALKED ABOUT FILLING IT WITH GOOD SOIL AND PLANTING SOME NICE HOUSE PLANTS IN IT. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TOO. BUT AGAIN IT WOULD END UP BECOMING A SANDBOX FOR XAVIER. NOT TO MENTION THE CATS.

SO THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ELSE CAN WE USE IT FOR? I'M OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT DON'T USE WATER, DIRT, OR FIRE.

MY BIL SAID WE SHOULD COVER IT WITH WOOD AND THEN PUT CUSSIONS ON TOP AND USE IT AS A BENCH. THEN THE INSIDE COULD BE USED AS STORAGE. THATS A PRETTY GOOD IDEA IF WE CAN FIND STUFF THAT IS NOT ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO COVER IT BUT STURDY ENOUGH TO SIT/STAND ON.

WELL THE BENCH IDEA ISN'T GOING TO WORK UNLESS WE CAN FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN DRILL THROUGH CONCRETE TO SECURE THE WOOD NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE LID. SO WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR CREATIVE WAYS TO USE THAT THING.

got an idea.. what if you lay wood over top them make something THAT LOOKS LIKE GRASS...USE A CHRISTMAS TREE OR MAYBE THREE OF THEM. USE FAKE CLOTH PLANTS AND STILL IN WOOD MAKE IT ALL APPEAR TO LOOK LIKE OUTSIDE. NICE PLANTS IN IT SO CAT WONT DIG AND WONT APPEAL TO GSON.

INTERESTING IDEA. GSON WOULD PLAY WITH FAKE PLANTS AND PULL LEAVES AND WHAT NOT OFF. HE SEEMS TO BE ATTRACTED TO THAT SORT OF THING. HE BREAKS OFF THE LOW BRANCHES OF THE TREES IN THE YARD WHEN HE GOES OUT TO PLAY. PREVENTS THE NEED FOR TRIMMING BUT NOT SO HEALTHY FOR THE TREES.

ANYWAY, THE ROOM THIS THING IS IN IS GOING TO BE CLOSED OFF AND USED AS A GUEST ROOM FOR DAUGHTER'S BOSS WHEN HE IS VISITING FROM TEXAS. SO THE FAKE PLANT IDEA MAY JUST WORK. I'LL HAVE TO TALK IT OVER WITH DEBBY AND SEE WHAT SHE THINKS.
