    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/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.

    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!!

    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

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 🥴

      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.

    The way you’re showing and walking through the steps with your wife to teach her, is why I subbed in the first place.

    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!

    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.

    What's the secret to keeping your Ryobi brad nailer running smoothly? I've used mine a hand full of times and it WILL NOT cycle correctly. I get such inconsistent results. Sometimes it will work perfect, other times it will drive the nail half way, it'll drive 2 or 3 nails at once, or wont drive anything at all. I've tried the oiling the slides trick but it still doesn't want to cycle right. Any suggestions? Perhaps I just got a lemon? Seems to be a pretty big complaint about the Ryobi airstrike brad nailer.
