Wife was not overly "enthused" with the "look" of her new backyard pond but I assured her when it filled, none of it would be seen. So she supported the idea and just kind of rolled her eyes as I came up with each new "design". "Think you have enough yet?"
Ha! I know exactly what you mean! My wife gives me trouble out my big pond looking "trashy", but that's only because she can see the stuff...she doesn't complain about the small pond, and she has no idea what all is in there.
I didn't put all the tiles in the big pond...but I didn't want to haul them to the dump either. So I decided to use them as backfill around the plastic barrels I'm burying for an outhouse I'm going to build within a short walk from the picnic pavilion/party shed. Now there's a pile of tile out in the pasture...I know the wife'll have a comment on that too, but my response will be: "See, you can recycle/reuse a lot more than most people think! Just have to create the right application."
