I have a fiberglass bee-hive looking thing that I bought from Home Depot. You fill it up with water, and plug it in. The water is pumped to the top, and then sort of waterfalls down the thing back into the bottom.
The top where the water comes out is equipped with LED lighting, and the water flows over these little lights, thus making the light sort of 'bounce around' randomly...
It babbles too, as the water falls to the bottom.

I feel no need to run solar lights on my patio, but I'll tell you what I do have...Quote from: "Angry White Male"

We have solar lights in our rock garden.

Try to buy solar lights with replaceable AA rechargeable batteries, as the packs that come with them are notoriously shitty and don't last very long.

If I had a larger yard, I could justify them.Quote from: "Angry White Male"

I thought you don't have a yard at all?

It works out OK. Room for my full size Weber barbecue, table and chairs for four, retractable lounge chair thingy, and about 30 feet of cedar planters that I have lining the back side of it.Quote from: "Angry White Male"
Enough room for a bachelor.

I wish I had bought a condo on the top floor. A herd of elephants moved in above me. Man, they are noisy.Quote from: "seoulbro"
I'm lucky. The guy above me lives alone, and doesn't stomp around much at all. He disappears every single weekend, so he's not home then at all. I assume he must spend his weekends over at a significant others...

It works. The initial plan when my ex was around was to possibly buy a townhouse, as we could've managed on two incomes.
Then she split before that happened, so I just bought a condo instead.

The owner is renting it out and the tennants have kids. I swear those kids wear cement shoes.

I think only a true concrete building could eliminate sounds...

Sound travels very well through floors. This is a wood-framed building, but the floors do have a thin layer of cement poured in between them. You can still hear footsteps.Quote from: "Angry White Male"

Highrise concrete buildings are the way to go. Not many in Barrie though.

Concrete pays only when you go tall, which most other municipalities around here allow, and are doing...

In Langley we don't permit high rise buildings (yet), so they are essentially all wood framed.Quote from: "Angry White Male"

I've only seen tall concrete condo buildings.

Put it this way... They guy that could afford a low-rise concrete framed condo would probably just buy a townhouse or a detached anyhow...
