@valleylynn, you didn't have to wait long. There aren't any markings on the bottom and since the hole was pretty large on the bottom, I patched it with chicken wire so my soil would easily come out the bottom. I just finished it and I gave it a little bit of a paint job to spruce it up but not so much since I didn't want to get rid of the character I think it has. I actually took that other picture the other day when I got it and finally finished all of it a few minutes ago. I wanted to build some anticipation, lol.....
