Hanging String Lights Around My Fire Pit! I Used Whiskey Barrel Planters
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2021
- Here's an easy way to hang outdoor string patio lights using planter posts. I'll show you how to save money and time. I'm not using messy concrete either! If you want to upgrade your patio, lawn, or fire pit, patio string lights offer one of the biggest bangs for the buck! Whiskey barrels work perfect for this because their weight and width provide great stability for the posts that the lights hang from. I'm trying to create the ultimate fire pit patio area for my back yard so I'm going to be working on lots more outdoor projects. I definitely need a grilling station and probably some concrete tables. I put an update on the 4x8 planter build in this video as well. 👍 SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/2Iy7PK3

This is the most relatable channel on TH-cam. Dropping stuff, using drywall screws outside, complaining about lumber prices and weather... Subscribed.
😄
Agreed. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Same here.
SAME!
I agree! I subscribed and I am going to try this. I have wanted some of these for so long, but was afraid of that ole concrete....lol
I came for the lights but stayed for the laughs. Thank you sir!
>o
I agree💯%!
This 👆
LOL! Same here! I got some good tips, and some LOL's, best combo 😂
Me too! So awesome
You are totally my favorite funny builder man. Love how your babies can ride a tractor. God bless you.
I have to say, I agree with these comments. I've been a single Mom and now a single homeowner trying to do projects ( I cant afford to pay someone, so I do what I can with these DIY projects) I loved seeing you with your girls. My Dad always helped me with projects and he would always tell everyone how I did things myself, he was so proud of me and not being affraid of tackling a project. He passed in 2021 and I miss him soooo much. This light project will be my first project without him amd my Mom. They were always here to help me 😢
Keep up with those girls helping, they'll cherish the memories and the lessons
Thank you so much. I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad last year. I understand how difficult it is to work on projects alone when you’ve always done them with your Dad.
SIR....I AM A 57 YEAR OLD WOMAN, SO, IM OLD...
AND I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY...
THE FEMALES IN YOUR LIFE ARE TRULY BLESSED...
PLEASE NEVER STOP BEING THE GENTLE LOVING SPIRIT YOU ARE WITH THEM. IT MAKES OR BREAKS US. 💪
Hey! We aren’t old! 😊
You can say that again! What a great role model
I’m the same age…I wouldn’t say old just well traveled.😂
🌿🌸🌹sweet. sweet 🌿🌸🌹
I'm 64 and if I want repairs done... You guessed it... I'm hired.
"What are you gonna do if there's a lightning storm? I don't know, don't sit out in it." lol
Lol
I truly laughed out loud at that!
Snort laugh! 😂😂😂😂
I'm 45 and have 3 daughters as well. After watching three of your videos, I now know what kind of man I need to be. I have been letting my family down these past few years and it's time to become a manly man (I just ordered the pocket knife you used to cut up the kindling in the fire pit video). As a first step, I've just sold my home in Commie-fornia and will be moving to South Carolina, where I can now live the American Dream. Thank you for inspiring me, Haxman!
Good luck! Glad you are getting out of that liberal hell hole!
Learning to disagree with out name calling would be a gift to your family.
Awwwwww! 👍👍👍
The fact that you think getting a pocket knife and moving to South Carolina to make u a “manly man“ rather than just spend more quality time with your family I understand why you would be letting you family down. Best of luck with your adventures tho ig.
@Beckett Ferguson Thank you, it has worked out well!
Love the fact your daughters knows how to operate a tractor.
that's how life used to be....
Right! Some men don't even know how to operate a simple tool. Today's society.
That’s how we roll in the south. EVERY girl gets on a tractor by 5
@@tracygleason103 that’s right. My sister and I both learned from my dad.
@@tracygleason103 and drive a stick by 14! 😉
“Never mind, don’t do what I said. Do it the other way”. Legit!
Subbed!
Watching you with your daughter made me miss my dad so much. I helped him do all kinds of work around the house including shingling, flooring and some plumbing. He never treated me differently and was my biggest supporter when I joined the military (outside of my mom). My dad was my best friend and I took care of him till the very end after my mom died. I wish you both the best.
Lovely
Same, I was always helping my dad as a kid with whatever project he was working on. Love that the girls like driving the tractor, too!!!
I love your sense of humor 🤣 its a fun not boring at all🤣🤣🤣
Yeah you need to go viral. Great content, great personality, and good dad jokes
Thank you very much! 😁
Exactly.
So true. I am surprised they haven't yet.
What is your profile picture of
@@gregbrady8454 deus ex
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that your girls have skills! My dad treated me the same way, I’m so thankful for what I’m able to do with power tools and diy projects.
Me too! I love shopping at Lowe's and hardware stores. Tools kick ass!
@@angieyoung1942 One year for my birthday, I looked at EVERY tool at Sears. (Met at least two shifts who periodically checked in on me and answered questions about tools I had never known. about).
Mine too! I left home knowing how to change my own oil and file my own taxes. Good job, Dad! 💗
Same here!! My dad taught me everything and now I am refurbishing a vintage trailer BY MYSELF!! Yay for dads!!
my mom being a single mom is what taught me i can do anything. she wasn't a pro or anything but was able to get stuff done. having that attitude along with the internet is how i learned everything i know. i lived with my boyfriend and two other guys for 2 years and *I* was the handyman in the house 😂😂
New nickname for my hammer “the persuader” 😂.. I wasn’t looking for a new project, the project chose me. I hope this channel blows up, I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot.
Thanks so much!
@@HAXMAN it looks like the channel has blown up with 102k subscribers. Congrats on figuring it all out.
It so wholesome watching you show your daughter most girl don’t get the opportunities to learning thing like this
I was my dad's shadow learned so much
Nothing more rewarding then everyone in the family contributing to a home project.
Thanks for putting words to another reason watching the video felt so good.
Brother, this channel is gonna be huge. A real guy saying all the silly crap that all of us do with excellent production quality. I don't need to put up string lights anytime soon but chose to watch you because I keep laughing at your videos. Love it, man.
I was searching all over for a way to do this without concrete for all the reasons you mentioned. It’s messy, it’s permanent and irreversible. Loved your video
Uh, everything about this video was perfection. From your personality, to your editing, to the instructions. I'm absolutely doing this to my garden/firepit area. Subscribed!
Me too 😂
This might be the first time I ever heard a reference to something from Jack Daniels being used to keep anything from being "tipsy". HAHA
He’s handy, he’s funny, and he can budget!! You cannot go wrong with this man!!
For some reason….he reminds me of chip Gaines but he’s more fun to watch. This guy needs his own show for sure. Lol.
Yes, I'm in love ❤️💕❤️ lol
What a nice pole in a bucket
Yooo! I came here to learn to string lights on my deck and laughed the whole video. Total laugh fest, comedy gold with education . Listen up TH-cam people this is how it’s done.
Came here to learn how to make these planters, halfway through I'm a little teary eyed because I lost my dad as a little kid and you're everything I imagined having a dad would be like. Keep up the good work, you have some lucky daughters.
Wow. Thank you so much. That is so kind of you to say. I’m so sorry for your loss. I am the lucky one. 😉
@@HAXMAN no problem! And thank you 😊
I have just stumbled across the greatest dad channel lmfao
Enjoyed.
I love how you let your Kids help.
Everything about this video was perfect, well done sir.
My favorite part of this awesome video was how Haxman had his daughters help out. That girl knows more about driving a tractor than I do!
Only thing I wish is you showed off the finished product for longer.
That's not how ... it turned out ....
That is the nice job and way you put it together and made it happen. BRAVO !!
LOL... "It's my yard and I know where the cord is going to be." Like A BOSS!!!!! I love you channel, makes me smile!
I love that you ran the electrical like you did. Your yard. You know where it is... Haha. Good man
I wish I had a Dad like you growing up. You’re a wonderful, loving, patient father with your daughters. Love seeing your interaction with them, especially the operating that Kabota.
A father has to be patient which child regardless of it’s a girl or boy. Neither one should be treated differently
Your children are very blessed to have you as their father. They will be such great independent adults. We need more of them and father like you.
Did you ever hold the flashlight for your dad.
Awesome video , talks more about the project than just irrelevant lengthy stuff … will certainly help me with my ideas for my yard 👍
Filling the barrels with stone would look nice too. & your daughters are adorable!
Just want to thank you for this video. You helped me earn my “man card” at home by putting together a classy, easy to adjust lighting project that really made my yard!!!
Awesome!
Uh-oh! Yet another project for my hubby of 54 years! I just love outdoor lights and this looks super cool!
I liked it just because you dared to say ambience😂😂❤❤❤❤
Thank you for teaching your girls how to use the tractor!
I have to say I'm jealous of your daughters. My dad was the kind to just leave us with mom cleaning the house, instead of teaching us to do real work, mostly because of my mom. Now I live in the south straight from the caribbean and I have to wait for my bf to do stuff like this around the house and actually teach me. Love the whole project and it looks awesome!
Dude - this is awesome. Especially the bit about using the concrete blocks, and the shrink tubing. Thank you!
Why does he raise his voice high .I do love that he has his daughter helping 👍💥
CONCRETE BLOCKS, GENIUS!!!!
The production quality of this video is unreal. Instantly subscribed.
Dude, you keep on making me want to upgrade my fire pit area, which is already pretty dang awesome.
Came for the diy, stayed for the good dad'n
Everyone out there fills their planter boxes with quickrete concrete not thinking how it will eventually drain. Loved that you used concrete blocks!
I find a lots of rocks in my yard every time I dig for planting. I would use them to fill the buckets. You can also fill with sand and top with some shells or other ornaments. The sand will also be good to stick mini flags for the 4th, and other flags for each season.
Been wanting to do this for the longest time and extending the string lights from the pergola on the deck to the firepit area. You were spot on that the thought of using concrete was the biggest deterrence -- who would have thought the simple concrete blocks would be such a creative alternative. Thanks and great video!
Your so funny.. learned something and entertaining.. Kim must love you🔥⭐️💕
I love this guy! Best dad too. I love how he’s taught his daughters to drive the tractor. Looking for more of his videos.
Love this step by step breakdown. Especially with the sizes of drill bits and screws. Thank you!
I love your sense of humor and you teaching your girls to do things with you! Thanks for the very relatable content!
Earned a sub for working with your daughters. I am a new dad to a beautiful baby girl and can't wait to do stuff like this with her. Blessed men.
Thanks and congratulations! Very true.
I'm Virginia, you are a great dad, and husband if you are only half as good as you seem on here.
Lucky daughters and wife.
God bless you guys in our nuts world. 🙏
Thank you so much!
Awe this reminds me of when I was young, helping my dad build things around the house! I love your videos!
Your daughters drove the tractor, so i hit like. You couldn't cut the cable, so i subscribed.
Ur a great dad. Thank you for raising great humans.
You sir have the best video on this project on TH-cam thank you
SO CLEVER!!!! Literally blew my mind 🤯!! Been trying for like 6 years to figure out a way to get pretty lights in our back yard without it looking cheesy. So glad I stumbled upon your channel!
"You're gonna want a couple of really flimsy 20 year old saw horses to set your heavy planter on." You're killing me! I swear, I teared up a little bit on that one. Truth! And also comedy genius! 😂😂😆
When baby girl started up that lil tractor! ❤️🚜
Love the way your girls are involved in your projects! We taught our kids early how to operate the tractor and power tools. What a good daddy🥰
Love the content especially the sound affects and that you incorporate your family into your videos. I actually just bought all the items for the patio light project, Thanks!!!!!
I just built my planter poles yesterday!!! THANK YOU for the awesome idea and tips! Such a perfect way to integrate the poles into a design. 👌🏼
Watched for the hanging lights, stayed for the awesome tractor drivers and concrete bag intimidation.
Man I gotta say I love this channel, my wife and I have 5 acres in Florida and you're channel is our go-to for how to do cool projects and nail it. Much appreciated man!
Just found your video. Loved it. Your girls are soo cute and I love the way you incorporate them to help you out and give them training at the same time. Love your humor and honesty. Great video. Keep them coming.
It’s so remarkable where the internet leads me and I just happily slide right on down the rabbit hole because it’s interesting.
Glad to see parents involving the kids. Good job dad, and nice work.....
You should build a shopping list for each of these videos, at a Home Depot or Lowes
My favorite part of this entire video was your daughters helping you. As a girl dad, I love it when my girl wants to help with projects and I hope she never stops wanting to help me out
Such a lovely comment? ❤️
Loved your DIY video and seeing your children help you. Made my heart flutter.
What is a girl dad? You mean a father to a girl or just say my daughter loves to help.
@@MA-vm6jl a father who only has girls
I love that you include your children that’s so daddy ❤️. I can’t wait to do this project and show my bf what I learned 😂, thanks for the lighting idea and giving me a boost of confidence along the way 😊 awesome diy 👍🏼👍🏼😎
This is your project, do it the way you want..Carry on.
I have to say thank you! You remind me of my dad. I too learned to drive with a tractor. Those young ladies will be ahead of the game in so many things in life. Loved the video!
This turned out GREAT! The planters are beautiful. Awesome job.
I love this video and I can't wait to try this with my son!!! Thank you so much for simplifying this project.
love the fact you had your girl helping you .love your video your funny it kipped me watching all the way .
This is great. It's very close to what I want to do in our fire pit.
I love this video with you and your beautiful daughters working together ❤️ I was in tears about the flimsy sawhorses that I would need😂😂😂 you’re very funny 😂 you now have a new subscriber 💯
This is so freaking great, I thought he was being sarcastic at first, making fun of us that need detailed instructions with very clear narration and then I realized this man is such a great instructor! I feel like I could easily handle everything he is doing- love this!!!
I really enjoyed watching your video. And I have to agree with the people that wish they had a dad like you, your daughters are very blessed. Thank You and I did subscribe to see more of your fun times.
Great job installing planter post lights!!!
I work for Simpson StrongTie. Love how you used the post brackets. Great project!
"Now I don't know about you, but these are just absolutely lovely."
It is so fun to watch your videos. I love your sense of humor. I bet you could do this with solar lights too. Thanks for keepong it real.
First time watching your videos and really liked how you keep it real “showing that mistakes happen” but most importantly how to improvise to get it done !!!!
I don't know about you but I think theez flowerz are juss absolutely lovely 👌
Made me laugh great personality.
WTG buddy, with no swearing to boot wow, looks great.
I loved this. How wholesome to have your girls helping.
Thumbs up for "I like to tangle things up as much as I can".
Yes.
I absolutely LOVE how you have your young daughter assist you. As a mama of four (now grown) girls it was imperative that we taught them how to do everything themselves and assist us properly. Well done- and yes, very funny!! Thank you!! May actually try to do this all by myself ( no longer have the other half to assist....) Cheers and keep doing these videos!
At first I was just looking for how to make some cool patio lights until I heard, “What if there’s a lightning storm? I don’t know, sit out in it?” 😂 I don’t think I have hit a subscribe button faster lmao
I love how you teach your kids! 😊
Lighting system is ok. But what I truly enjoyed is your teaching and interaction with your daughters.
My dad did the same with me and I'm almost in tears because I miss him a lot. Good Dad!!
Love this DIY! Also, love your personality and your interaction with your daughters :)
How do you only have 8k subscribers?! Great content man!
Thank you so much!
I agree. It's clear that you put a lot of effort and time into these videos. Great job and always fun to watch.
Yeahhhh.... I'm glad the algorithm brought you into my life. Should put that on a valentine's day card...
@@markrains8764 😄

Thanks for helping me make a great light display.
Ok when I'm down and having a bad day..I watch Adam and his escapades. Thank you sir for many giggles and how to's!
Thank you!
