That is absolutely gorgeous! Wow. I'm looking forward to further pictures. The green water alone would have been a fantastic thing, but the corals and things in the complementary reds are amazing.

it's actually looking pretty cool :)

yeah, it's a bit scary - in fact, just last week he decided that it was time to paint all the window trims on the outside of the house. he rigged up a ladder with a board somehow attached across the top so it would lay better against the house, for painting the trim on the second floor windows! he hung a rope from the center of that board and hung the paint can from that!

kinda like this:
