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!!
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
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
No need to be scared chap, how long have you been suffering from OCD then? How do you cope with fear?
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 😭
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 RUclipsr/builder is doing that.
Should add some climbing vine plants on the back of it
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
This was pure entertainment. I LOVE that Irina is here! Her humor is my 110% mood!
The spade falling through was classic!!!
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 RUclips
@@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
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.
the filming quality is geniunly insane and only going up damn ! it was already insanly good back in the day, so imagine right now !
Such a fun still man. Love it! Nice work as always.
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 👍
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
@@hayitsj21 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.
Lucky lady to have such a patient teacher..... awesome. Love the build!
You should both do more projects together it was so enjoyable watching you both.
Teaching ppl who don't know is the BEST part!!!! Well done!!! Looks awesome
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.
I love your new water feature and it was great seeing your wife joining in to help you and learn some new skills. 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome fountain!! And super simple design! Great video
Nice to see someone use cheaper tools and not always Festool. Shows you can still do a good job with lesser tools. Nice job!
Best intro! Looks nice! What else is going in this area? Maybe a couple of hammocks?
Beautiful!
Love the Irina cameo!! I would love to see more of her 🥰
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!
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
It looks so good
Learned a lot on this video. Thanks for the explanations.
I think it's nice that you included your wife and you built it together. I like your house. Greetings Natascha from Germany
That looks great! Nice work.
"Now I know how you feel" 🤪
Beat me to it! 😂
Dead! Lol
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.
Looks great
Looks good.
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 🖐
Lovely work!
Perfect.. I like your project..
We use them on sheds. But aluminum corners would be a nice budget friendly alternative in this situation
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
Yup, doing a few of these in my yard. I'm sending hubs your way Alex!
it would be amazing if i had parents like you guys.
This is sick!
Always making good videos and projects. Always have good new ideas for every video
💖💖💖💖💖 Lovely Couple, Great Job !👍🏻👍🏻
Mrs build it! This is just like my sister in law. She handles big projects and learns the necessary skills to GET IT DONE.
That was so fun. Irena should drop more often. Great job 👏🏻
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.
I would’ve gave my wife a couple scrap pieces of cedar with sand paper just to have a little fun. Great vid guys love the energy
Fantastic
the bg music in this video is a lot better than your other videos!!
Awesome video! Love seeing your wife included in the builds 👍🏾👍🏾
Now I want to one for my yard
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
Awesome
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!!
Great Job!
Love this......
love to see it !!!!
Thanks
I personally like how your the builder and she is an interior designer 😊
This looks awesome! Always fun teaching your wife or partner the ways of the trade! Might have to rename the channel to "Mr. & Mrs. Build It"! haha Cheers!
Looks good... just think if u did three tiered waterfalls. U are talented.
Great ideas. Dig the music
Not sure if you’ve seen those screen mesh they use with those shooter water fountains but that would be a good option.
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.
Ty fir this
Really love the editing in this video. You've got a new subscriber. Now, to check out your other vids!!!
Beautiful work bro. I would maybe raise the stone profile a little bit to avoid more splashing and then losing less water splash. Otherwise, it does look amazing. Congrats
„I like your outfit for work today“ killed it 😃
Hahaha
@@MrBuildit i thought her comment will this glue come off and ur like um no like wtf 🤣🤷♂️ dont wear good clothes to work.
funny and cool vid. thanks yall. great info.
Big Love!
Hats down man, btw that garage look like every mana dream
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 .
Lots of splashback for your outdoor coat rack!
You are way more patient teaching your wife than me 🤣. Good for you man. And looks good!
Him: "I'm starting to think think this is not a good idea"
Also him: *does it*
We love your design... 100 👍
Thank you
Thanks for showing the prices.
This is a pretty cool video 🔥
Love this episode! Loved your wife in this ❤️
Great video, adding the wifey was a nice feature!
Sweet, brotha!
Loved your video, looking to do a DIY waterfall what pump did you use?
WIFEE'S ALWAYS LEARN A LOT FASTER THAN WE DID WHEN WE STARTED USING TOOLS
Great video! Any idea what GPH pump you used? This gave me an awesome idea. Tha k you!
this was a very nice video!! nice waterfall!! my luck, the pigeons will be in it to win it!!
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.
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. Love the channel, btw!
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
Lights will make it PoPPPP!!!! Over splash can be tamed by a diffusing it inward....
Real question is white lights or coloured lights?
Looks good man. But how are you gonna replace or repair the pump if it goes out? Pop the glued pavers off?
Big fan of the channel, my wife and I are going to do this together. It’s looks GREAT! Just curious, is there anything you would change or do different?
Use smaller rocks for less splashing
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?
Hi wifey!! More Mrs.Build it, please!
Could easily put some tiny fish in there! That pump is essentially a filter
I would of sealed the cedar before steel.
Thanks for showing
You should do a truck tour!
A parts list would be good to have. Would like to order the pump etc.
I appreciate seeing yalls teamwork start to finish and the project turned out amazing.
Inspirational in more ways than one.
Thanks
Definitely needs some greenery
I agree
"That's very satisfying - now I know how you feel" 😳 😂
