Cement Bird Baths
Making The Most Of The Front Of Your Home Using Wind Chimes
Author: Stephen Betzen
To beautify the front of your home and enhance your landscape, why not use the magical benefits of wind chimes? They come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and price ranges, and are sure to be the perfect compliment, regardless of exterior design.
Small nondescript houses are especially flattered by such yard features as trellises, decorative mailboxes, birdhouses, and wind chime designs that add a distinct country home décor charm.
Outdoor southwest décor can be enhanced by a more natural looking landscape, one harmonious with the eco-system. Use large wooden tubs of ornamental cactus or interesting semi-succulent flora, strategically placed in a section of the yard made up of ornamental stones, bark chips, or native ground cover.
Areas within the garden and along the perimeter can be planted with tufts of ornamental grasses. Drifts of native plants that flower at different times of the year will add color and give balance to the landscape design.
A stone or cement bird bath, garden bench, and perfectly tuned wind chimes suspended from the branch of a tree not only make the yard look more appealing, but more inviting as well. Hear the haunting "vocals" tapped from each pipe as the wind passes by, and enjoy the tranquil setting where harmony kisses the sun.
This type landscape design is not only unique and attractive, but low-maintenance; an added bonus that busy homeowners will surely appreciate.
Wind chimes can be used as an enhancement and to create a certain mood or compliment design in a variety of ways. A set of small diameter pipe wind chimes suspended from an elaborate hanger by the front door can replace a doorbell or door knocker during mild weather months. A small polished brass plaque beside it could announce a formal "Ring for service," or a more playful, "Ring my chimes."
Such an arrangement could enhance an otherwise plain porch. A natural wood or painted lattice or fan trellis, embraced by flowering vines, could complete the quaint scene. If positioning of the porch allows, place the trellis on the north end to reduce force of air current. That way, when the chimes "sing" you know you have a visitor.
Use decorating ideas that compliment the front of your yard, beautifying what you have to work with, instead of competing against it. Finely tuned wind chimes are a sure way to add a relaxing note; complimentary, therapeutic, and feng shui enhancing.

Line it with glazed ceramic tiles. Check out what is available, you could probably get remnant pieces from a professional tiler in your area. Use an indoor/outdoor flexible cement for the purpose and have fun! Grout comes in many colors, I recommend a dark grey, green, or brown because it will get that way eventually. Thank you for making a wonderful delight for your little feathered friends, they will splash with glee.
You might be able to glue it back together with epoxy for cement. I can say how strong it would be after.
You can either buy an epoxy filler or coat the problem areas with thinset cement with latex additives for flexibility. Hydraulic cement will work very well also but you have to work extremely quickly with it because it sets up right away. They sell the cement in small containers if you don’t need too much. All of the products mentioned will be in or near the paint department at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
