Here's the built-in gas grill.  It was available with a propane-tank supply or natural gas from the house.  We opted for a permanent line from the house.

 

Oh, that wonderful circle!  It's a simple
but wonderful centerpiece to the patio.


 

A close-up of the waterfall.  The sound of gurgling water is even nicer than we dared imagine.

What do you think of this addition?  We replaced our old downspout with these nifty cups.  Rain cascades through them (right photo) and splashes off a strategically placed stone. They are available at RainChains.com


 

A view from behind the waterfall.  The
low voltage lighting makes an elegant
statement at night.
