Build a Wishing Well with Rocks

Wishing Well project, let's resume

Now it's time to Finish it.

The Springfield Ohio Community had responded to our webpage that offered a free place to dump rock and stone (along with about a hundred other types of stuff).Phase OneImage shows 3rd stage of erection.

Click below to see this Project when it was just a hole in the ground (literally). Well discoveryImage shows historical "dry-well" unearthed.

Learn more about this hole, see the Discovery Page.

I wish it was complete, but it is not.

Regardless of how I want to finish off the viewable inside, it will still require pargeting (more mud) to create the shape and either finish with colored stucco or place in marble chips (or something).

Great Rock Wishing well!
