Can I Turn Beer Cans Into A Beautiful, Rustic Looking DIY Water Fountain?
So I had a bunch of beer cans laying around ready for recycling, and I had an empty spot in the yard that I wanted to fill with some sort of DIY cement statue or homemade water fountain, ANYTHING DIY CEMENT RELATED!! So I made a DIY cement water feature. It's actually really easy to do, I could have taken a bit more care and supported the cans a bit better inside the fountain during the process but I didn't notice til afterwards. But that's the beauty of using oxides etc, You can blend mistakes so they are much less obvious, or not even noticeable at all. Then once you're happy with the project you just seal it all with some cheap concrete sealer and that's all there is to it! Even after ...

    Hello noted that one could add foam soapy mixture to styrofoam pellets for better integration. Sand bag tubes in a circle and stacked beehive style for impenetrable heat and cooling efficient dome. Where do you source your pellets from question mark

    • @firstname-qq3xp
      @firstname-qq3xp 3 месяца назад

      sand bags are a thermal mass. they aren't impenetrable as it is not insulation. It will pick up heat or cold, and dissipate it at night. If it's hot enough for long in the day, it will be like an oven at night, shedding that acquired heat, even if the outside air is already cooler.

    I made a 3 feet by 4 feet long, 2 feet high planter box, 5 inches thick, using plywood forms. To get a stone wall look, i drew rock shapes with pencil, then applied beads of silicone caulking on the pencil lines, to serve as fake joints between the fake stones. Roughed up the plywood for fake stone surfaces. Coated the forms with motor oil. Forms and silicone joints came off easily. I was very pleased how it turned out, and very easily done. I used brown dye and charcoal dye for the joints, after parging everything. Very authentic looking.
