My Big Leaf Portland Cement Bird bath in Ga.U.S.A.

good morning I'm hailing from Georgia and I'm out here this early morning beautiful morning that the Lord has made I'm gonna start a new project and I'm going to make a birdbath big birdbath from elephant ears the big leaves that I have in my backyard growing I bought a bulb the book was about this big and I planted it and it came up with big leaves and I have no other leaves around here that grows like that but that's what I'm gonna use on my project is the big breeze up my elephant ear right there that uh don't beat my bird back so this get started on my project and see how it turns out and I use Portland cement it comes from Home Depot and it's very fine cement it's black flour it's just wonderful to work with and you put it in your pan and and and with georgous and of whatever sins you have this is Georgia saying because I live in Georgia and it comes off my dirt roads and that's what I use in water and you mix it up and you just create whatever you like and whatever you can but you have to try because you if you don't try I didn't know I could make anything out of cement because I've never done it before but I've tried it and I loved it and I'm so thankful that I did because I've enjoyed making all kinds of things out of cement and everyone can do it you just have to get out and I know some people probably can't get out and stir up see me and do all this but you can enjoy watching it being done and enjoy look at how it is done and I think I would if I couldn't do it I would love to I do I look at other people's videos how they do things and it's just very enjoyable i
