Water Fountain / Fire Feature!

[@klintharder2155]

Next Episode: Rebuilding my shed after the fire... lol. Looks good Michael.

[@joshgeyer7941]

I just want to thank you. You don't know me but you've changed my life. I now have a growing small side business called Custom Concrete Creations by Josh and you sparked the fire to do it. I make fire bowls, fire tables, fountains and more and they we're all inspired with videos like yours. Thank you very much my friend!

[@MichaelBuilds]

Wow! Thank you so much Josh! I really needed this comment!

[@kaynothem5445]

This is awesome!

[@derekbarrington667]

That is Awesome Man! Way to be a Capitalist and use the interwebs for something other than po*n.. lol.

[@scottdavis7833]

Lol, little to close to the shed,just saying brother looks awesome

[@bobleponge1301]

What a great conversation piece ( burning shed)... If done in cold climate like Canada, I would not glue the pots to get them in the garage /shed in the winter. But otherwise, fantabulous.

[@courtneycourtney8720]

My fountain still looks good. Everyone was amazed that I built it. It really makes night sitting so relaxing. Thank you ! I’m here to see what else I can build this summer 😅

[@MichaelBuilds]

THATS AWESOME! ☺️

[@plantitude8042]

Love the idea & look of this but the whole time I was thinking "that shed is going to burn"!

[@kaynothem5445]

Or melt the siding

[@courtneycourtney8720]

I’m building this beautiful fountain. Slow moving due to rain. I’m very excited for the end result. Thank you Michael, you really do make it easy . I love your no rules way approach. It makes me less nervous of screwing up.

[@normanicusinvictus7416]

I would be super paranoid about how close that flame is to the house. Hope that was inspected by a fire Marshall, haha.

[@jsblusmokebbq4343]

Fire Marshall Bill maybe

[@Khaab00]

[@dalespringerwilson4233]

Oh yeah you're jamming ! I just gleaned several ideas for my bonsai garden. Thanks big guy !

[@lostinseale]

Another winner. 👍🏼 I wish I could post pics to these comments so you can see the fire pit you inspired me to build. Keep it up.

[@JillofAllTrades2]

You can’t? That’s a bummah. I’d be interested in seeing your fire water fountain!

[@lechatbotte.]

Can you in his community tab?

[@robertgazdich8871]

Michael builds should do an Instagram and or a reddit and have threads for people to reply with their creations :-)

[@JustMe-ys6jj]

I remember he said he has an Instagram account where you can tag him for pictures of your creations.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Someone burned down the he shed. No one burned down the he shed Sheila. Michael is filming a new episode - Building A New Shed. "First, we gotta get rid of the old one".

[@h.b2029]

Excellent. Very helpful. Thanks. God bless.

[@jeanious2009]

Love how close it is to the exterior wall!!! Lol fire waiting to happen!

[@erikhartwig6366]

nice camera work at 15:04... spiraling with the bowls. cool!

[@Smath1313]

Once again you knocked it out of the park. Great quick project, with very detailed straight forward instructions. Always excited to see what's next.

[@rubydragon106]

I was thinking that would make an interesting mailbox base.

[@shirleymorales3161]

So cool 😎 hope there's a part b for staining it !

[@pvt.2426]

Thanks for sharing. Tip: Before gluing down the final stages, I'd do a test run to see if it works and all seals are air or water tight and things are optimally placed. It's 'too late' and very troublesome to try and undo things for remedial repairs.

[@rty1955]

Make sure you have lots of refreshments on hand...... For when the Fire Dept shows up to put out your shed fire!!

[@patbowman9959]

Fly, winged creatures, fly! Save yourselves!!

[@darkthonder1325]

You are my favorite on youtube I am so happy to know you will be here more often. I have an acre to fill with the ideas I get from watching you. Thanks! 😄

[@MichaelBuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@alexmontero3642]

just showed this to the wife and we're planning out what we gonna do. Michael man you open a whole another world and looking around on KZbin I see a lot of Projects using your methods. You Rocking it !!

[@partonsalaventureenvr5572]

Nice try to builds a in ground pool fontaine using the water ou the swimimg pool I need idea. Thanks Michael

[@anthonysalinas6639]

Amazing work!! Love your builds simple and to the point easy for semi beginners!!

[@JessicaR1990]

If my husband build something like this to decorate outside of our apartment I'd be happy as everything screw the flowers lol

[@isaiahreed6375]

Omg Yess i loved that I cant wait to try out some of these things your doing

[@MikeFyxdt]

Fantastic! It’s so cool to see the fire combined with the water in the upper bowl. I learned a lot!

[@Sarahranjit]

Looks amazingly beautiful! 🌺🌸🌺 Watching your videos definitely makes my better! Thank you! 🌸🌺🌸

[@TS19781]

Yup, definitely building this! That is awesome!

[@berniemackowiak6411]

That's just what I was looking for in my front yard. Thanks

[@sherriek3476]

It looks so close to the house its absolutely beautiful 😍

[@2blackdanes]

The water feature is a beauty but they need water added constantly. Between the evaporation in direct sunlight and the water splashing or soaking into the block, it will dry out almost everyday. One thing that would help is making the base smaller than the catch basin so that you can put some water plants in it. They help with splashing and evaporation, but it will still always need water added.

[@gracec1665]

Excellent! This is exactly what I have been looking for! Yay!! Thank you very much.

[@grey1wa]

I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel.. I'd love to see what Ideas you'd come up with my yard/garden etc

[@lechatbotte.]

I’m in love with this project. Yep that’s what I was thinking when I saw you ripping out the shrubs lol

[@wadegadberry4211]

So glad to see you back at it. Love the new project

[@Alphasig336]

I am using your videos to create an outdoor concrete countertop with blue glass and glow in the dark stones. Also a fireplace with two waterfalls in diy fiberglass hearth. With your River concrete between them. We will see where it goes

[@Alphasig336]

Thank you so much.

[@1252PFC]

Cool build.

[@marybethduke3263]

Awesome! Your skill and imagination are incredible!

[@edwardreilly1400]

Please post video of the burned down shed rebuild in the follow up video, or at the very least, a “how to” on replacing the melted vinyl siding. That would be awesome… JK- your shit is awesome dude.

[@125masterg]

Really great project!! I love this idea. It does lend itself to many possibilities. Well done.

[@dorindafulton]

I luv the project but I don't trust the fire being that close to the building. Luv your videos 😻💝

[@ericmartinez2986]

It’s amazing 🤩 but why would you put it so close to the house. It’s going to cost more than $348.00 if the house catches fire.

[@davidshorb7453]

you always bring me the very best ideas

[@andyhiskett3797]

Gonna melt the siding!!

[@frame199]

Very Nice! Looking forward to the next video!

[@kerryclark1926]

Love your energy!

[@sonnyblack9905]

Michael! Love your videos and your truly into what your doing, I was really enjoying the build when i heard you drop a couple "F" bombs, wasn't happy but i went to my computer and realized i miss heard you say fussing in stead of ... well you know. I'm old and from the deep south sometimes I hear my wife say things that i know she didn't. keep em coming.

[@braelic2730]

Nice Build! love the way it looks. I see a lot of comments on the proximity to your shed, but I am pretty sure that's cement board/hardiplank siding, so it's not melting. I also doubt this is something you'd be running all the time as it's more of a "check out this cool thing" than "I'm going to leave this running all of the time". The fountain I am sure will run more often and it looks great where it is. Keep up the great work!

[@JonCherba]

I love your projects! I can't wait to use your method for counter tops for my remodel!

[@jwhodson]

This will be on my porch. Well as soon as i build the porch. Just as soon as i get the wife’s approval. Just as soon as i figure out where to put it.

[@evarogers8775]

Great job!

[@sw640]

Great Job!!

Love your stuff Mike! You should use that concrete colorant mixed with kilz works great and would look awesome!

Dude, you did it! Looks absolutely amazing!! So now I gotta make one? Ok! I'm gonna take it to another level! Great video my friend!!

[@diselmeans9632]

Thats so cool 😎 amazing work keep it up bro

[@phillipjordanatd]

Awesome work keep the videos coming!

[@sherriyost1520]

Timestamp 6:50 for the fire bowl. You placed wood dowels in the bowl and poured the concrete mix in. Do you drill out the holes afterwards or pull the dowels out? Thank you!

[@KalenSavoy]

Dude.... this is freaking amazing. I will be sending this to my wife...for permission 😂

[@johncampbell8462]

😎Dude, to be honest I liked this video before I even saw it! That's just how awesome I think you are!👍

[@jeffsullivan4832]

Could I use this same idea to make a pedestal sink for my bathroom ? Or would it be to heavy or something

[@glennsmith3199]

Looks great.....did the 🔥 scorch your siding

[@MichaelBuilds]

Nope. It’s not as close as it looks

[@K9Trooper]

The retired firefighter in me is cringing at the close proximity of the fire to the shed. It is pretty though!

[@leenaright3949]

Hi ! My front steps have separated, the morter between the bricks is crumbling and falling out. Can I use one of the expanding sealants to reseat and anchor the bricks back into place ? I'm retired and can't afford to have someone come out and repair my steps. Thank you .

[@rodfatherschopshop6004]

How much heat can the mortar mix handle before it cracks? I’ve been wanting to use it for some fire projects but never found a heat rating. Great video. 😎🇺🇸

[@svnelliejowestsail3222]

Wow! Again!

[@jameshorrocks2939]

Yeah you're gonna want to up that fire coverage to the "I burnt down my she shed" plan.

[@winrachwingfield1404]

How does cement all and mortar mix hold up to heat? I’m making small fire vessels but am worried about cracking.

[@jonw6376]

ANOTHER very cool project, Michael! The fire feature may not be advised so close to the burnable shed, especially with so much wind. Btw, did Mrs. Builds miss the plants you yanked?

[@RoxyAnny..8b]

Oh My Frickin’ Good Boy, your fire and water project is born. Congratulations proud papa! 💦🔥💦 Very fun to see you so pumped about it. The reservoir is brilliant. IDK what others are worried about. I have complete confidence in you knowing what you’re doing regarding fire safety. But between just you & me, I’m hoping it turns out to be a threat so I can see what kind of cool shield you’d incorporate into the design. 👊👏👏👏

[@drhenderson40]

Amazing!

[@benjaminbrewer2154]

Is the wall siding hardiplank fiber cement board? Love the idea but the ducks would quickly convert the water into fertilizer.

[@EasyFirePits_]

In case the shed burns down that is not easyfirepits.com that is somebody else. Otherwise it looks amazing! But I guess if the tree didn’t bring down the shed how could the fire?! Another out of the park video Michael, thank you for the kudos. -Rick EasyFirePits

[@MichaelBuilds]

Lol 😂 thank you so much Rick!

[@mr.knownothing]

Freaking AWESOME!!!

[@JillofAllTrades2]

Hmmm … I notice you keep panning past the top bowl. You know, the one with the charred rim. Nothing wrong with that. It’d be camouflaged by using a charcoal/gray pigment to color the bowl, though I def prefer the terracotta color. Your project turned out pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@chriswalters8110]

“Don’t do this on a hot day”….. so AZ is out for a while. Lol

[@Heyjaybird]

I want to build a waterfall that is high as the roof. I live in Arizona. I need some sounds

[@Ra3Ra33]

hey, oh my gosh i love LOVE your channel. so much information for a true beginner. :) i have to ask what you would reccond for heavy duty sculpting. i am wanting to work on some intense detail sculpture for my husband for fathers day..i will be using wire mesh to form a base to begin sculpting from. but unsure on the use of concrete or mortar. thinking to lay first foundation layer of cementall then go in with fine detail of mortar? if will be outside in florida can you recommend a sealant?thank you so much if you ever see this :)

[@Ra3Ra33]

but it has a lot of fine and thinner detail work...so wondering if cementall would be better for that since it can be worked with at such a thin consistency.

[@MichaelBuilds]

Thank you so much for all those kind words!!! If you’re using Rapid Set products definitely use Cement All for the details and Mortar Mix for the base stuff. But just remember that this stuff is called Rapid Set for a reason especially in warm weather. Consider using Set Control to slow it down and REALLY cold water.

[@Ra3Ra33]

@@MichaelBuilds okay awesome thank you so much for the response honestly wasnt thinking i would get one haha. but thank you so much for the great advise :)

[@MichaelBuilds]

@@Ra3Ra33 ☺️👍🏻💪🏻

[@jhartwells]

What bowls did you use for the 12-in bowl on top

[@MichaelBuilds]

I grabbed a bowl from the kitchen that I bought 20 years ago so unfortunately I don’t have a link for it. But it’s a cheap plastic mixing bowl that you should be able to find anywhere you can get kitchen utensils at.

[@guitarguru210]

Nice!

[@chuckschillingvideos]

The fountain will work perfectly until your loosely placed rock on the base falls into the collection pan and clogs up your pump's inlet. You need to have, at a bare minimum, a prefilter on your pump to prevent detritus from clogging it.

[@melaniestill305]

What is that on your windows? It looks so cool. I’d like to know how to do it.

[@rileyjohannessohn4499]

Did home depot stop selling rapidset products? All the ones in my area within 200 miles say not available anymore.

[@MichaelBuilds]

Not to my knowledge. Call your local HD and speak with the lumber department. I bet they still have they’re Rapid Set bay

[@jasonroman77723]

First I want to tell you that i love this project. And i watch the channel all the time. As a learned Christian i must warn you because i care for your eternal life. i must advise against saying "oh my God". For it is written thou shall not use the name of the lord in vain. In exodus ch 20 you may find for yourself. Thank you for your nice ideas.

[@Patty-bs3bz]

Just wondering, has the Fire Marshall visited you yet? I absolutely love what you do and this is incredible but you need to build a cement fire shield to go behind your fire pit/fountain creation. I was biting my nails as the flames were inches away from the old wood on your shed. I'm sure you could come up with an awesome cement fire shield.

[@marytramp5678]

LOVE, Love. love this project!!! Just one question, Why on God's green earth would you place a fire literally inches from your shed!!!? we're you not happy with the one you had, and wanting to replace it, lol!!!?

[@bridesnyc]

Wait..So where the water come from? I am confused and question (2) How long do you live the gas open? tx

[@primalrenovations7427]

Looks awesome 👌 What products would I use for the fast setting cement as I live in England? Love all your videos great work.
