the fountain was quite easy Hazelrunpak, just a small water pump (home depot 29 bucks) I found the old handpump while digging a hole for the appletree, cleaned it up and painted it, ran a hose up through it and out the spout, hubs has electicity for me, he ran a wire (in a tube) from the house out to the garden and attached it to the birdhouse pole near the fountain, I buried a large rubber horse pail (18 inches across, 20 inches deep) and filled it with water, dropped in the pump and voila...instant fountain. I have a center rock that reaches the top for the turtles that fall in or birds that want to bathe, its one of 3 water features we have in the yard.
on a side note, Brina thinks they were all put in to be her personal waterholes.....
