Building Backyard WATERFALL FEATURE 

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-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.

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?

Love the project! My OCD is going nuts over the metal corners not being mitered though 🤣

Should add some climbing vine plants on the back of it

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…

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 RU-vidr/builder is doing that.

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

Such a fun still man. Love it! Nice work as always.

"Now I know how you feel" 🤪

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.

The spade falling through was classic!!!

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!!

This was pure entertainment. I LOVE that Irina is here! Her humor is my 110% mood!

Him: "I'm starting to think think this is not a good idea" Also him: *does it*

Todays women are building homes, my partner build an amazing shed and now she is making a killing building sheds for all the neighbors. Give anyone tools and take the fear out and people can do a lot….women & men. Strange young dudes are more into video games compared to what we enjoyed creating growing up.

Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, wear a face shield when using a grinder...

You didn’t show the electric portion of this video or how the pump gets power! I enjoy watching but I feel the entire project needs to be showed

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?

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 👍

Looks terrible and splashes all over the place... also you mixed up the order of some steps like staining and your brick outline looks sloppy and not level.

the spilling of water on the long run makes the reservoir to run out of water, maybe the water fall or elevation is making this water-stone impact enough to create the spilling.

the filming quality is geniunly insane and only going up damn ! it was already insanly good back in the day, so imagine right now !

RU-vid commenter: you should get her nice lululemon joggers man

*** PLEASE READ*** Hey man can you post a link to stuff you got I can't find that water spout anywhere and I need them for a project

Well I guess you will have to break the stone off to service the pump.

Wait I’m all for a good water feature. But it doesn’t look natural at all and it’s just splashing everywhere. Maybe if the water was thinner and more spread out rather then a thicker tube of water. And maybe a a box a cedar screwed over the hole where the water comes out so you don’t actually see the water coming out

This was THE MOST FUN VIDEO EVER!!!! I was laughing so hard, and cheering "Mrs. Build It" on loudly! More more more, please!!!!!

You acted like close to $900 was a lot but I searched Menards for fountains and there's a 40 in tall by 12 in wide similar fountain not made out of wood that is $500.....so around $900 is sounding really damn good lol

Best intro! Looks nice! What else is going in this area? Maybe a couple of hammocks?

Have anyone figured out how to reduce/stop the water splashes?

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 🖐

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.

Nice to see someone use cheaper tools and not always Festool. Shows you can still do a good job with lesser tools. Nice job!

What happened to all your Dewalt tools?? Even the Dewalt 2.0 tough system is blacked out in background. I'm feeling a strict Ryobi corp deal here...

Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.

She was probably thinking… no hun I don’t want to help I would rather be inside watching real wives of I don’t give a shit of what you’re doing outside I just want to sit on the couch eating popcorn watching movies while you do all the hard work.. #EqualrightsinBS! Lmao!

John 3 16 the beginning GOD made man in his image who we know is Adam. When Adam and Eve sinned sin entered into the world. Sin equals death. God required a blood atonement because if you take a life then life is required at your hands. Since we are all sinners and sin is death we all would need a blood atonement for our sins. Jesus Christ is one of the 3 manifestations of God. The word who came into the world as flesh. He came as the sacraficial lamb to make a permanent atonement for all of your sins. Without him you can not take away your sins and so this is why we need Jesus. He is the perfect man and sinless. God's only begotten son. His blood is perfect and can take away all of our sins. blood will be required at the end of your life because of your sins and if you do not have an atonement for your sins (who can only be jesus since his blood is the only requirement) you will go to hell forever

I like it..but, did you place the fall too high? I mean wouldn't the splash mean the you have to keep refilling the reservoir?

I like the results, and I would like to watch more videos, except the lady is annoying.

I can't take you seriously while you're wearing crocs while working. C'mon man! Be the example.

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 .

With all of that splash, you are going to have to refill it every day

I love your stuff, I think you are born with 2 right hands. (Maybe your wife took your left hand LOL 😛😋) BTW SHE IS GREAT 👍

Love this. You inspired me to build one This video taught me so much. Thank you

Sorry, but this definitely looks too clunky looking for the house. It sticks out like a sore thumb. You could have chosen a better design.

You should both do more projects together it was so enjoyable watching you both.

Idk what it is but the videos for the newer home aren't as good as the older house. I feel like your videos need to be a bit longer and go into more detail. Not trying to be rude but that's just me. Also I liked it more when it was you and the other guy working together, instead of your wife.

Her: Honey what are you doing? Him: Just filling up the water feature tank for the 3rd time this week 👍🏼

875$ for it to fail notice the water slashing out also you will need to unglue that crap to clean it or else u will have bugs abs moss

The horror, those beautiful peonies were NOT dead! My gardener heart is broken 😞

Really love the editing in this video. You've got a new subscriber. Now, to check out your other vids!!!

how do you access the pump now? Isn't it now fixed since the blocks are glued on?

cool build. Adding a splash mat (used for oil) under the rocks where the water falls and repositioned rocks will help cut down on the splash. Really nice look

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.

I love your wife being in the videos. Feels rights 👌🏼

Sponsored by Ariat...Proceeds to work in Crocs. LOL!

Can you give me the brand and to how you made the waterfall . Links ?

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.

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

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!

The next episode will be titled how Mrs. Build it took over the Channel.

What is that you used for the water reservoir/pump housing?

I would of sealed the cedar before steel. Thanks for showing

If I’m not mistaken, you are pronouncing Ariat wrong

Hi, i cant find the plans of this DIY, are they available?

Lights will make it PoPPPP!!!! Over splash can be tamed by a diffusing it inward....

Just a tiny hint…wood and water don’t mix 😂

„I like your outfit for work today“ killed it 😃

Beautiful, but $800+ bucks! Geesh!

anyone know what kind of wood he used to build the frame?

Looks great but I would’ve used led lights

The only thing i dont like is how much the water splashes. Gonna have to refill that thing often....

Awesome fountain!! And super simple design! Great video

9:46 "It Doesn't create any sparks" hmmmmmm..........

Could easily put some tiny fish in there! That pump is essentially a filter

Hi What is that hood on the back of your mitre saw

Can you tell me which container you used please I plan on doing this in front yard but need to know Whst container to use

lame, dont look good.. just buy a good one at lowes

I would perfer all wood as well for the water spot

Everybody is an expert apparently lol

New Subscriber Sir, well played

Love the fountain , but it’s a massive shame about the peonies, if you dug them out properly, you could of added raised beds at either and replanted them 🤷‍♂️😅 Ps. They weren’t dead, they had just finished flowering 🤦‍♂️

Stain it if she wants.... ignore the hate!

Definitely needs some greenery

how has this held up over the years?

This isn’t a how to video; it’s almost clickbait. You only went in detail with the cedar planks. Everything else was skipped including the water pump.

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!

I looked through your videos. I couldn't find it. I want to know more about that concrete landscape barrier.

Does your wife form Russian?

Interesting to see how you and your wife both wearing crocs. She's the opposite of The Pussycat Dolls. A few years ago I saw a video where each one of them said any man wearing crocs was a turnoff.

Mr.: "Pull it out." Ms.: "That's satisfying. Now I know how you feel." Hilarious.

Great. Add a splash guard in the rocks and you won't lose so much water splashing out. It's about $25-$45.

Ssssssssshhhhhhh just get with the video

I'm digging the feature of the wife in this video, #couplegoals!

Where did you get the tote from

very cool project. nice job. However, you should have drilled the holes in the lid down in the grooves instead of on the tops of the squares. now you have a place for water to collect and grow all sorts of creepy things. worst of all would be mosquitos.

Teaching ppl who don't know is the BEST part!!!! Well done!!! Looks awesome

Man the wife talks a lot smack for someone who doesn't really know to build anything.

Can you do an update on how the garage floor is holding up so far?

We just bought our first house in Nampa! If you ever want to do something on the Weekend shoot me a message and I would love to buy you a beer!
