Builders DIY: Episode 5 - Simple Water Feature

[@heyyouguys342]

By far one of the most beginner- friendly tutorials. I love this woman.

[@adriankap2978]

She is pretty adorable...

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

AGREED!!!

[@swatisquantum]

Adding sand to the paint alone was worth the price of my click. Genius. Never seen that before. That’s a great way to get a cement texture. This water feature is so cool!

[@emaillinda9860]

What I loved MOST about your video was the very visible LIST there so that you know all the ingredients or supplies at once glance. That is so terrific! Thanks for this information. Presently I do not have a water feature but would love one of those , eventually.

[@emilymiller6804]

Searched KZbin for DIY water feature... this one is the best. Thank you Tanya. Nice, simple, easy.

[@lindasimons691]

I liked the external patina. Loved the rest of it.

[@Earthy-Artist]

This is beautiful. My only concern would be for the toxic chemicals in the waterproofing & paint. Birds, wild animals, and even a dog or cat might be vulnerable to harm if they decide to take a drink from this fountain. I'd rather use non-toxic materials to protect animals.

[@kt9495]

A solution to this would be to use ceramic and either run your tubing through the bottom and seal with marine epoxy. It won’t leach once cured, or set inside another waterproof basin.

[@Earthy-Artist]

@@kt9495 Yes, that seems safer 👍

[@ginacable5376]

Thank god one that a beginner can actually understand thank you so much.

[@martysgarden]

Really nice as a feature on my micro farm, I really want the birds and insects to also be able to come down and have a drink Building up a more natural environment on my micro farm really helps keep down pests and diseases. Happy gardening/farming Marty Ware (Australian Micro Farmer)

[@JWHealing]

I'm thinking for birds a much more shallow water feature like a bird bath would be safer for them. You could put the shallow water feature on the ground or elevated like a standard bird bath.

[@breezinbyyou2]

You can use a plastic tub, and paint with a textured stone, stucco, or whatever paint. Then there's no hole in the bottom or painting the inside, or don't paint it at all.

[@UncleTerry]

Aquapros done the very same thing kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6jcoaWrqtOnfaM

[@linanicolia1994]

plastic ? gag ! no plastic......

[@alexanderpasnl]

If you want this look, that is actually a far better and much cheaper idea. I think it's a shame that such a beautiful tube like the one she used is being painted to look like almost any cheap one you can buy at a garden center. And it's expensive too, there is a lot of material going into that. No problem if you want to preserve the natural beauty of a tub. I'd love to have such a nice weathered one. Depends on someone's taste I guess. But her enthusiasm is contagious. Now I really want one.

[@nlss.9603]

Wow! This has inspired me, but when it comes to "DIY" projects, I am uncertain. Thanks for sharing this with us. Pretty awesome!

[@GlennnD]

Actually liked the pot without the paint way better.

[@AveryTaylor-u4l]

Very cool idea to use an old planter!

[@carols1229]

Love this project. Lots of work and oh so worth it. Lovely.

[@FrankNFurter1000]

Your enthusiasm is utterly infectious. :)

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

Would like to see exactly how you covered the hole. Thanks

[@alex.gomez.1117]

I would love to have this lady over to my house to help me with making a pond with waterfall. She knows exactly what she’s doing and She’ doesn’t it beautifully and with passion

[@kimberlypotts8922]

Beautiful fountain!

[@imrlaps7097]

Nice video. Great choice of music at the end too. Im actually thinking about making this fountain but on a much smaller scale and keeping it on a table in my home. Any suggestions for small water plants that need partial sun or no sun?

[@jeremypearson6852]

I think there are probably newer products that are easier to install since this was made. I thinking of something like Flexseal that can just be sprayed on. Not sure if it would hold up as well over time.

[@jamesscott236]

You, my lady, have a really lovely and nice accent.

[@GratefulThird]

South African, I believe?

[@alex.gomez.1117]

Thought it was Australian lol

[@shoshanabloom8669]

Definitely South African. I am from,there as well

[@sp-pz8uc]

I would unplug it when altering fountain pressure. Just in case you get electrocuted by faulty pump.

[@carolinesant2283]

Thank you. It obviously takes a good women to keep it simple

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

What a great job, hi from the UK.

[@jandudley4669]

What sort of pump did you use please

[@LisaHancockGuthrie]

Beautiful, I love the plants!

[@crazychicks5307]

It looks beautiful

[@MusicIsARainbow]

I love this! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Art-qy6gd]

Your puppy is so cute! Good job on the pond!

[@laurenkay6258]

It's absolutely stunning

[@shellahali1845]

Wow!!! I loved that… thanks for sharing ❤️

[@EricF647]

excellent building advice & enjoyable to watch

[@jacquelinegarcia178]

So beautiful! Great job

[@mlewis8579]

Great teacher! Thank you!!

[@lessanoorsheda1137]

The best. Been looking for this tutorial

[@mihaimimi3965]

OH my god that plant in the back ! what is it?! looks like a succulent but so much bigger i love it !

[@plantsandfish7197]

Mihai Mimi the large plants in the landscape are a type of Aloe. It coulf be aloe vera, aloe hercules or another large aloe species

[@mihaimimi3965]

@@plantsandfish7197 You are so right , thank you !

[@julieannabaca5403]

Is that a solar or electric pump

[@ndb466]

I would like it if you put plants all around the fountain so it hides the pump

[@jacquesmostert4115]

Tanya, What can I add to the water to prevent it from turning green. Can you help? I love your idea, keep up the good work Cape Town

[@xyzllii]

Good practical instructions.

[@samanthaschull4028]

Where did you plug it in

[@deannacollins9299]

Thank you, where will I find a pot of the size?.

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Great easy to follow video that everyone can DIY

[@ShannonMiles]

Great video, thank you!

[@spacecaptain9188]

Why does the pot need to be waterproofed? Isn't it already waterproof?

[@1234annacalifornia]

Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@robbieroche6779]

great job and i love ur dog sitting there not a care in the world look foward to more vids ....

[@1habicher]

Like it simple enough, why the membrane? Good at any Patio or Entrance! Fine instructions!

[@TheAntiqBoutiq]

because the pot she chose wasn't waterproof.

[@crazychicks5307]

Your dog is so cute

[@pkr362]

Can I grow water cress in this kind of fountain?

[@tdmartin73]

Why do you have to add the membrane every where shouldn’t the pot hold the water on its own once you have sealed the hole?

[@staciejackson7497]

It is insurance.

[@dacawone]

Cool video. Pot looked cooler before painting though.

[@rosaharding866]

How do you secure the pump in the bottom of the pot?

[@crazycoolhunk]

Why did you make a hole in the pot? you didn't show how you covered it?

[@staciejackson7497]

The pot was an old planter that already had a hole. She cut out a polystyrene “plug” and used the membrane and waterproofing compound to rebuild and waterproof over the hole.

[@ronnieblackburn9078]

Hi love the water feature. What height and diameter is the pot

[@lindaadamson3723]

Great video!

[@orlas5861]

Could I use a Solar pump do you think ? ( sighting in full sun obviously ) 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

[@dorothybunot5994]

So why are you putting a membrane on there Ceramic pots don't need a membrane right

[@virginiadolores9962]

Love it simple n direct easy to fallow

[@paulaross4495]

Yes she does

[@shoshanabloom8669]

Hello South Africa

[@warlords7399]

What was that intial attachment on pump. it comes along with that pump?

[@helenrandell5163]

Awesome 👏 I love it 🥰

[@lynnmanning2795]

Nice job!

[@virginiacrawford7985]

How can you use/make a solar pump for your feature?

[@1habicher]

Just at the Sun! A sunny spot will be best!

[@theexmann]

Informative video. BTW, do you think the Flex Seal product, they advertise on TV, would be good enough to waterproof the bowl/pot instead of the method you demo? Thanks

[@dancooper2511]

Flex Seal is a worthless product! It does not work. There's even a disclaimer on the Box about using it in water. Even though the stupid commercials are nothing but water related issues!

[@DelphiSkysong1]

I personally have found Flex Seal to be junk. It works great for a few weeks, then degrades. Especially in the sun.

[@billymccaughey3741]

Beautiful job!

[@igaudion973]

wow she's great! Thank you

[@ginajonson8796]

can you use a metal pot? thanks for tute

[@foodiesworldUSA]

What’s the container size

[@ahmedmohmedahmedmohmed2058]

قناه لمسه ابداع يرسم فيها فنااااااان ادعوكم لزيارتها

[@theexmann]

Do you have to do anything special to avoid breeding mosquitos? Or, is having the fountain feature enough to keep the away? I take it you also have to use that liquid to prevent that mildew smell too?

[@harveythepooka]

For mosquitoes you can either get some poisons to put in the water, which I am not sure how they will affect wild life, or you can get a few small gold fish. For the size of her pot, 1 or 2 at most and they will eat the larvae. I would assume the pot wouldn't get mildew if it was completely sealed. You could also use a plastic pot, or else use some pond lining instead of the painted membrane.

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

As long as the water is moving they won't be a problem. They only drop their eggs in standing water. There shouldn't be any smell. The gardeners clean out fountains every spring to remove leaves and other debris.

[@JA-lb3ue]

Great work thanks!!!!

[@Khp1983]

Dankie Tanya

[@gombert07]

Fantastic video.. very informative

[@linanicolia1994]

very nice ! thank you !

[@Dwhewitt05]

Would this be appropriate to put either a couple of goldfish or maybe one beta fish in? Didn't know if the waterproofing paint is toxic to fish.

[@BuildersFan]

Hi Denise, we'll check this with our paint team and will advise as soon as we get feedback.

[@BuildersFan]

Hi Denise, our team has advised that both paint products are not toxic to fish, however they are not recommended. Durapond or Bitumen Tite (with the biddum membrane) would be more suitable.

[@alanthompson4912]

How about the hole in the bottom of the pot? And the cord?

[@teenastoddard4363]

Where did you get the basin?

[@minhal_lhr]

what a lovely accent ...

[@imrlaps7097]

And i second the questions about making this on solar power. Do you guys have any tutorials on that?

[@TheAntiqBoutiq]

same process just buy the solar pump instead if an electric one.

[@yeyo9404]

What a cute lady I love her accent

[@shoshanabloom8669]

yeyo South African

[@yeyo9404]

Shoshana Bloom cool I love it 😻 I would love to go to South Africa one day I hear its beautiful

Great job.

Hola soy de la ciudad de México y la verdad no hablo inglés habría una posibilidad de que pusieran subtítulos...gracias

[@thnkr0917]

Use Flex Seal, much, much easier

[@rmiller2741]

Wrong brush. Try something that fits in a bucket, and allows for coverage on curved surfaces such as the pot your "painting"

[@blessedfromtexas5432]

What is this “membrane”?

[@Zenconstructions]

Very nice..

[@terriradke4190]

I don't see where I can buy the pot from I'm in the USA : )

[@redcross6963]

I agree. Was going to ask where would be a good place to find a similar pot? I've never seen a pot that height/width at Home Depot, etc.

[@Genxadventurer]

You can use an Orinoco bowl

[@bacluong5810]

Terri Radke You can find the pot like that at Calloway nursery.

[@WaterfallnowVancouver]

Someone asked how to make it solar powered. You just use a solar powered pump!

[@Claribel42]

That pot is perfect and deep enough to use a powered pump. Great 👍

[@catherinemurphy873]

Brilliant 👍

Wow beautiful

[@nathaliehupe778]

Traduction please.

[@FlowerChyld43]

You do all that work, and don't drill a hole for the cord??

[@MattJonesYT]

I would expect a pressure washer would do a much better job than the wire brush and go faster

[@o000omusico000o]

love it
