brugele.. well if you water a few times.. it will keep them water cool most of the day..
Mary.. well thanks..the picture here.. uses the1 1/2 " foam.. to make a cool storage room for overwintering here in zone 7a.. it's designed to be broken down in the summer.. It is so well insulated and air tight..I can heat it with a small heater..
Dolly.. yes it would make a nice fountain.. I've never done a fountain.. although I did carve a hunk of it.. as a 20' long cloud.. with one side as the bathroom sink.. with the water comming out of the cloud.. up some stairs to the 6' x 6' bathtub.. with the showerbeing on a claper switch.. and down to the kitchen on the far side of it.. where the corner double sink was carved into the foam.. with a 16" thick butcher block inset into the foam.. I'd carved a toilet.. but there were lots of fluid dynamic flow aspects that I didn't care to work out.. so I imbeded a standard toilet into the foam... but...then again.. that was the 60's.. I did a bunch of growing pieces for my home then.. like replacing the window sills.. with interior planter boxes.. and a closet with it's roof as a planted lawn [ lights up inbetween the ceiling beams..] and a bed hanging from the ceiling on chains.. above the lawn .. but that was the 60's.. and before the days of string trimmmers.. and I had to cut the lawn with clippers.. and lots of other plant "art" pices there / then..
here's the cool wintering building.. 6' x 8' x 8' tall..in construction today
