You must be really good at cleaning it?? I think my small one might die this year (after only two years!) It just doesn't seem like it's moving the water as well. <br />I wish I could go garden "junking" with you. I also look for vintage watering cans ~ you can never have too many!! Looks like you found some good things. <br />Hope it warms up there soon ~ remember how warm you were last winter?

I'm so impressed to hear YOU installed the new pump and put up shelves yourself! Wow! I've never done anything like that.
