the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I'm a super fan of the fact that at the end of your videos you keep breaking down what the price points are and I think that's super cool and no other TH-camr/builder is doing that.
I'm impressed with how well of a teacher you are, you have patience, great communication and you're very kind. I wish every woman and girl had this type of a gentle teacher.
Should add some climbing vine plants on the back of it
Teaching ppl who don't know is the BEST part!!!! Well done!!! Looks awesome
the filming quality is geniunly insane and only going up damn ! it was already insanly good back in the day, so imagine right now !
Love the project! My OCD is going nuts over the metal corners not being mitered though 🤣
Never miter outdoor timber. Unless you like a gapped miter
@@1993Revhead he said metal not wood ...
was thinking the same thing
I saw that immediately like a sore thumb! 🤣 And the stone top edging wasn't centered so one end has the butt and the other is aligned. But that's the designer in me crying 😭
The husband/wife banter is a nicely added feature for your channel. Great video! Always gets me pumped when I get my Mr Build It notifications 👍
Love this. You inspired me to build one
This video taught me so much. Thank you
I think it's nice that you included your wife and you built it together. I like your house. Greetings Natascha from Germany
Your going to be filling that water tank quite often with that splashing going on...trust me I know ... I have a huge fountain in my back yard and we had to adjust with small rocks to lower the water flow....and also how will you get to the pump easily? you will have to disassemble the rocks and cover every time? can you do a follow up video on maintaining of this nice water feature?
move a few rocks and shove the hose in the holes
@@Jelloh you have to pull the pump out of the tub to service it not just drain the tank
It looks like it will be empty in half an hour lol
Everyones an expert
Personally, if I’m to spend that much, I would certainly get a much wider fountain piece… you have a grand piece with the cedar but this tiny tiny stream. Almost makes it look a bit silly. Perhaps that’s just my personal taste but yeah. I’d defiantly add (probably fake) vines and foliage too
Why so disobedient?
Facts
Let me know when your video is posted up on TH-cam
@@juanpuello4546 I would never spend this much on what he made. I’d honestly get a big slab of tree cut, clean it, epoxy the gaps and throw some legs on it for a beautiful table replacement. Whenever I get around to doing that, I’ll be sure to start a channel. I’m just expressing my personal preference. If you’re spending that much you should definitely go for the best of the best. I think a larger fall would look much better. So quick to be upset on someone else’s behalf 🥴
@@yu-ger-bloob-highway3521 sure
This video helped me with what not to do. Now I know what to do so it’s not splashing all over the place. Thank you
Looks great! I agree with some, throw a plant on either side of the water fall in the rocks. Budget minded folks could use cedar fence boards.
Love the Irina cameo!! I would love to see more of her 🥰
it would be amazing if i had parents like you guys.
Him: "I'm starting to think think this is not a good idea"
Also him: *does it*
Splashes a lot, so your going to have to fill it often. Also not sure how your going to clean out the pump and tank area since you glued down the stones…
Lol classic
Yeah, he's gonna waste more water than intended due to the excess splashing
@@CapturedYou He could try a smaller rocks or pebbles in the area where the water actually lands... that would likely decrease splash
@@DIYAroundTheHome love how you apply science to the issue
All he has to do is put a ball valve on the return from the pump so he can adjust the flow. Another nice touch would be to put an auto top off float. That way as water evaporates it automatically fills the reservoir with new water.
Now I want to one for my yard
That's nice you included your wife. Watch how you subscribers will increase because of her being apart of your channel!!
Such a fun still man. Love it! Nice work as always.
4x4 gang, less goooooooooo!
Vroom vroom
Mate, you just made my day! Thank youu!
You are way more patient teaching your wife than me 🤣. Good for you man. And looks good!
You guys are both so great. I was waiting for a video with you both working or you instructing and she trying all the tools out. Both having fun and having a great time. Love it!!
the spilling of water on the long run makes the reservoir to run out of water, maybe the water fall or elevation is making this water-stone impact enough to create the spilling.
Learned a lot on this video. Thanks for the explanations.
Love the “cannibus shorts” lol
i think it needs some lights, but honestly this is amazing and beutifull
Love this episode! Loved your wife in this ❤️
The way you’re showing and walking through the steps with your wife to teach her, is why I subbed in the first place. The channel seems to have strayed from showing how it’s done properly with tips here and there. To now an HGTV cut scene, slo mo, with vague details on what you’re doing and why. Don’t get me wrong I still watch. Just an observation.
I totally agree! I want to LEARN and i don’t mind elements of the fun HGTV type stuff. But most of the videos were also sort of teaching videos.
That’s so true I feel the same way ! I think he’s thinking he doesn’t need to show us all step by step cause we’re gonna watch his video no matter what .
My thoughts exactly. Still fun to watch, but for a different reason.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 I’m sorry what. Need sources before rumors get started!
Love this......
I'm digging the feature of the wife in this video, #couplegoals!
I like it..but, did you place the fall too high? I mean wouldn't the splash mean the you have to keep refilling the reservoir?
Lovely work!
"That's very satisfying - now I know how you feel" 😳 😂
Milwaukee wouldn’t have let that bit fall out into the box 😁
With a big feature like that, i would have gone with three or four spouts at the top that stepped down on an angle, or gone with a wider spout to make the waterfall more the feature. As it is, it is pretty, however the ceadar is more the focal point than the water. You did an awesome job, just my opinion on how i would have changed it up.
a small critique I think would be on those inside corners with that angle iron would be to have extended the outside come out and meet at a 45 with the other piece instead of cutting each one off straight and having that square of no iron on the corner.
Not sure if you’ve seen those screen mesh they use with those shooter water fountains but that would be a good option.
"Now I know how you feel" 🤪
Beat me to it! 😂
Dead! Lol
Mrs. Build it is very cute :c
The spade falling through was classic!!!
This was pure entertainment. I LOVE that Irina is here! Her humor is my 110% mood!
Her: Honey what are you doing?
Him: Just filling up the water feature tank for the 3rd time this week 👍🏼
My husband and I built this spillway water feature! Ours was 8’ tall and 5’ wide. We built it in the front of our house against the bump out for our fireplace, which dictated the size. I redesigned the actual back structure wall to save money on the pressure treated wood. We also replaced the cedar tongue & grove boards with flat top cedar fence pickets. Much less expensive. We also trimmed our fountain with left over cedar trim in place of metal angle iron, which was another cost saver. And using this method we had almost zero waste of the cedar boards.
All these cost saving measures allowed us to purchase a more wider spillway with LIGHTS. After running the water feature for about a week we abandon the rocks and plastic bins lid due to splash out. Instead attached wire mesh to the top of the bin using zip ties. It works way better and allows for better access to install water clarifier. This water feature is completely beautiful! OUR TOTAL COST $425!!
Yours doesn’t splash outside?
@@23Bentley45 only when it’s windy outside.
Great work. Putting mess is better
Can you send a picture of your waterfall
You should do a truck tour!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd like to see how you tied in the electrical power source.
Everybody is an expert apparently lol
Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, wear a face shield when using a grinder...
Hi
What is that hood on the back of your mitre saw
You didn’t show the electric portion of this video or how the pump gets power! I enjoy watching but I feel the entire project needs to be showed
it literally plugs into an outlet like any other pump.. unless you hardwire it but most just plug in cuz up in the north where I am we have to pull them in the winter months
Overall start to finish, how long did it take?
Hi, I absolutely love your content! Keep up the great work!!
1 question:
How is the water pump powered?
I ask because i would love to have a water feature in my yard but don't know what powers the water pump.
Todays women are building homes, my partner build an amazing shed and now she is making a killing building sheds for all the neighbors. Give anyone tools and take the fear out and people can do a lot….women & men. Strange young dudes are more into video games compared to what we enjoyed creating growing up.
Have you had to change any sort of plans or projects around due to the constantly rising price of wood??
I looked through your videos. I couldn't find it. I want to know more about that concrete landscape barrier.
Have anyone figured out how to reduce/stop the water splashes?
Ya you can can get filter Matt's which help a lot and for formal features like this you can buy clean looking splash "rings"
Just be aware that all that water splashing out might add to your water bill. But it’s a super dope build!
Great idea. can you give us the link for the faller fall kit?
Looks terrible and splashes all over the place... also you mixed up the order of some steps like staining and your brick outline looks sloppy and not level.
TH-cam commenter: you should get her nice lululemon joggers man
I keep on trying to go and check out your blog for your plans & tutorials but the link doesn't work, is there an Issue with the site?
anyone know what kind of wood he used to build the frame?
Sponsored by Ariat...Proceeds to work in Crocs. LOL!
Loved your video, looking to do a DIY waterfall what pump did you use?
Wait I’m all for a good water feature. But it doesn’t look natural at all and it’s just splashing everywhere. Maybe if the water was thinner and more spread out rather then a thicker tube of water. And maybe a a box a cedar screwed over the hole where the water comes out so you don’t actually see the water coming out
You acted like close to $900 was a lot but I searched Menards for fountains and there's a 40 in tall by 12 in wide similar fountain not made out of wood that is $500.....so around $900 is sounding really damn good lol
She was probably thinking… no hun I don’t want to help I would rather be inside watching real wives of I don’t give a shit of what you’re doing outside I just want to sit on the couch eating popcorn watching movies while you do all the hard work.. #EqualrightsinBS! Lmao!
Hey, she tried, lol. You should bring on more builds, she's funny
Well I guess you will have to break the stone off to service the pump.
This was THE MOST FUN VIDEO EVER!!!! I was laughing so hard, and cheering "Mrs. Build It" on loudly! More more more, please!!!!!
So glad you liked it.
@@MrBuildit something different she's never in the videos
Looks like more water is splashing out than going through the rocks 😂
*** PLEASE READ*** Hey man can you post a link to stuff you got I can't find that water spout anywhere and I need them for a project
Are you looking for the same size? Lots of Options but we use the Aquascape spillway or waterfall or we use a powerfully. Right falls for the right build!
@Rockscapes ya, I need the same size and style I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I've look at aqua scapes and they didn't have any
@redbeard-kz7vo then your best bet is Oase, they have a larger variety for these formal features
@Rockscapes are they the ones that sell the brass style ones if so they didn't have any either I found ones like these but they are $100 each and that seems nuts for a plastic cup
@@redbeard-kz7vo lol water features are expensive one way or another. If you wanted true diy you can find a nice looking plastic/ abs/ stainless/ fiberglass bowl, cut a notch in it, and plumb a bulkhead in the bottom with your pipe going into it, set that into the wall and you are good! I did similar as a waterbowl into a stream for my pup. If you can't visualize it's on our channel
Best intro! Looks nice! What else is going in this area? Maybe a couple of hammocks?
Where do I buy the water fountain kit?
Aquascape has waterfall kits, it's what we use all the time
Love the video and awesome build! Looks like the two of you had lots of fun building it. The comments seem to be a 50/50 split on positive and negative comments. Based on your replies and TO WHOM you have responded, you don't give much weight to the negative ones and I APPLAUDE you for that 👏👏👏 Not that you need my reassurance but keep doing what feels right to you and for your channel. Keep the content coming, really enjoy it. Take care, all the best to you and yours. Have a good one :D 🖐
How do you get into the reservoir to serve the pump?
OOPS!!!
I would love to see a video of you and your wife doing a small quick DIY project. Like a couple thing. Just an idea.
Nice to see someone use cheaper tools and not always Festool. Shows you can still do a good job with lesser tools. Nice job!
The only thing i dont like is how much the water splashes. Gonna have to refill that thing often....
Would have been nice to see a rain catcher that could supply the water to the bin
@@Danielism or have it on an auto-feed from the water supply. A lot of those large pot fountains people install in their front yards are auto-fed, so they don't dry up and destroy the motor.
You have a great wife!!!
I love your stuff, I think you are born with 2 right hands.
(Maybe your wife took your left hand LOL 😛😋) BTW SHE IS GREAT 👍
Just wish I knew where you got your wide strapped and tight shouldered tank tops from because the ones I’ve always gotten from Walmart have always felt like junk . Great video . Cool price list . Thanks .
Where are the materials?
cool build. Adding a splash mat (used for oil) under the rocks where the water falls and repositioned rocks will help cut down on the splash. Really nice look
Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.
Really love the editing in this video. You've got a new subscriber. Now, to check out your other vids!!!
Build looks great m'man! Glad Irina got in on some of the build action, she already understands the first rule of being a builder - blame the supplies/tools, not the skill set hahah!
While I'm a huge fan of the angle iron, I think I may have opted for attaching them to the vertical sections (to hide seems), then for the horizontal section surrounding the water area, I would have put a mitered cedar frame. Totally personal preference though, I think either way would look solid!
*guy who comments half way through the video without knowing concrete pavers were being added later #EggOnMyFace lulz
Looks great...to expensive for me but it is nice...I think I'd get some sort of solar lights to mount on it. Maybe dress it up with a fake ivy
Sorry, but this definitely looks too clunky looking for the house. It sticks out like a sore thumb. You could have chosen a better design.
I like the results, and I would like to watch more videos, except the lady is annoying.
Idk what it is but the videos for the newer home aren't as good as the older house. I feel like your videos need to be a bit longer and go into more detail. Not trying to be rude but that's just me. Also I liked it more when it was you and the other guy working together, instead of your wife.
You should both do more projects together it was so enjoyable watching you both.
875$ for it to fail notice the water slashing out also you will need to unglue that crap to clean it or else u will have bugs abs moss
The next episode will be titled how Mrs. Build it took over the Channel.
The horror, those beautiful peonies were NOT dead! My gardener heart is broken 😞
how do you access the pump now? Isn't it now fixed since the blocks are glued on?
I love your wife being in the videos. Feels rights 👌🏼
Right ?! I agree
Can you give me the brand and to how you made the waterfall . Links ?
