This is so cool, I mean this is so cooling !

[@darrenbenson2606]

Great idea! Anything to make the grandkids happy.

[@Dee-ty9ny]

What a great standing mister! This is a great video, you've explained how to build it so clearly & directly - your grandkids will learn a lot from you! I hope to build something like this someday.

[@rachelrobles7796]

So glad I found this. We need something like this for our tennis tournaments that we have in July in Texas when it's hotter than hades. Thanks for posting!

[@jimginnyohio]

I hope it works for you. Just a quick note: Since I made this for the grandkids, the plan was for it to get them wet. For your tennis tournament, people may not wish for that. If you are wanting more of a fine mist spray instead, please consider using these misting heads instead: amzn.to/3huOCbI - They cost more, but provide a very fine mist instead of a spray. If you still want to use the cheaper sprayers, they will still work although you might not want to use quite so many. That will reduce the amount of spray. Best wishes for your build...and for your tournament!

[@rachelrobles7796]

@@jimginnyohio ...thanks for that additional link. Yes, we would want a finer mist so those are perfect. The tournament was actually canceled this year due to social distancing but still possible we can do something later...it's still pretty hot here even in Sept/Oct but we will have it for next year regardless. Thanks again!

[@LauraRodriguez-ji2wu]

Thank you so much for all the specific details. This is awesome.

[@CapnSlappypants]

Thanks Jim. We did this today. Our alterations included bypassing the side bar misters. Our water pressure is pretty low. I'm probably going to change all the misters to all blue (45 degree sngle). Other than that, it works wonderfully. Itsas considerably more than 30 bones to build... but in the 100 degree heat of Missouri/Kansas... it's worth it. Thanks for posting. My 6 year old loves it.

Thanks for this fun vblog and including links for the parts you used!

Fantastic! Great of you to do this!

Awesome! I can do this. Thank you!

How fun for kids and the 18 and older kids ... LOL ... Very nice :-) How has the brewer worked out for yeah ?

[@jimginnyohio]

Riverponics Growing Systems Planning to break it out of storage n the next couple weeks. I hope to do a video when I do. I will be sure to promote your website in there. ;-)

@@jimginnyohio Good stuff ... Glad to see you haven't slowed down ... Cheers :-)

[@Homer32351]

That hose adapter is listed at $18.00+ on your link! Is that really the one you’ve used?

[@jimginnyohio]

Wow! That’s pretty expensive. They must have raised the price for that since I believe I only paid about $8 when I bought it. My advise would be to go to your local big box store and buy one there instead. That’s a fairly common item you should be able to find easily. Just be sure to get the correct size. Good luck and have fun when you build it!

[@JonOffgrid]

Cool jim

[@carissaemett1119]

i made this for my kidos this weekend, my only struggle was getting the misters in, they were buggers!! Any pointers?

[@jimginnyohio]

Carissa Emett If you used the correct size drill bit and tap, they should screw right in. My fingers were a bit sore since some of the misters had sharp edges on them though. I used a pair of needle nose pliers when my fingers got sore.

[@nicholasperno5293]

I noticed if you go all the way in with the tap to the point where it touches the other side of the pipe they go in much smoother.

[@Dee-ty9ny]

​@@nicholasperno5293 This is a great tip - maybe running the tap thru the hole longer carves out more precise threads in the pvc pipe, and clears out the shavings better. Those misters are pretty small. This mister project is such a great idea.

Hopefully my well can handle this lol
