My wife and I were redoing the garden area.
- She wanted a pond and a patio area that surrounded the pond.
She told me that while we were doing the pond, she would like to have outdoor lighting around the patio area and in the pond. I could do the outdoor lighting around the patio by using solar patio lights. We could switch them from lighting to heating and lighting, and it would extend our outdoor time by a couple of months. I did not know how to build a pond and put outdoor lighting inside. We had the plans for the patio and pond and knew where we wanted it and how it would be arranged. My wife knew what shape she wanted for the pond and had already looked into the fish that would survive our area. When I called the electrician, he said the solar lights were perfect, but we had several steps from the house to the patio. He thought outdoor lighting would be better along the steps to make it easier to navigate. He knew patio ground lights would work in the pond, but he wasn’t sure if my wife wanted outdoor lighting on the sides or on the bottom of the pond. He also suggested we had the outdoor lighting on a timer, so the fish got enough darkness to stay healthy. The project was going to cost a lot of money, but since my wife seldom asked for anything, it was going to be done. The pond and patio looked amazing with the outdoor lighting. We got natural river rock for the stairway and had outdoor lighting placed inside the rocks.
