DIY Water Feature Solar Panel & 5 gallon bucket | Water Fountain 

I’m a 70 year old lady. I found this your parenting beautiful, you reminded me of my dad who use to take me to work as a builder and explained want he wanted me to do. I lost him in my late teens, but I grew into a very strong independent person where, I could do most handy work around the house for myself. Your daughter will know how to do those odd jobs by herself, or get frustrated watching a guy doing a very bad job and she will end up taking over the project herself. Enjoy the special moments with her because she will learn so much from you. God bless your family. 😅

FINALLY A DIY WATER FEATURE THAT DOESN'T COST $150.00 AND USE FIVE CERAMIC POTS..LOL 👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was freaking out watching her hair. I was so worried it was going to wrap around the drill. Please make sure to pull her hair back before using tools. I did love the video!

I am so glad you let your daughter do the work ! Great parenting!

This video should be under a different category: "Teaching Your Child Lifeskills, Self-confidence, and Creating Parent/child Memories." What a wonderful video.

What a great dad you are! You guided your daughter in everything she needed to do. She will become one great DIY'ER when she grows up. God bless your family.

What a joy to watch you patiently walk her through building this. Can’t wait to build one for my own garden area.

Thank you for this terrific project! I love the way you work with kiddo. You’re an excellent example of loving guidance in parenting! 10/10

Very good job Dad, and daughter.Easy job, she will be a great gardener when she gets older. 🙂 Next time she’s using a drill you need to make sure her hair is tied back good. Don’t need it getting wrapped around the drill as it’s working.

I love the fact that you had her helping you. Love father daughter time together ❤

Wonderful video! I’m 67 and all my best memories are of my Dad doing everything with me! This reminds me of all my treasured memories. What you’re doing is outstanding…. And this solar is fantastic. I’m going to get it and run it in my flower plant window in the house.

So awesome to get your children involved to make a fun project. Thank you.

What a fun video to watch! So nice to see such a caring/patient daddy. I wish every child was so lucky, our world would be a better place if more parents could spend time with their children and make them feel valued. I can’t wait to make this fountain!

What a good dad, patiently teaching your daughter. Good job

It is precious to me that you let your daughter learn how to use the tools and have the confidence to do these things. Teaching her that she can create, and she is competent to fix things as she needs to when she gets older. It’s a very valuable lesson to teach little girls. I am 67 years old and my dad loved me with all his heart, but he never let me touch even a screwdriver. I just wasn’t something girls could do when I was young.

Great job. I like that your little helper had an apron on for the job.

❤love you did this with your daughter. Water a beautiful memory for her!! ❤

I love this project to do with kids, and I really love how you let HER drill the holes!!❤❤ Excellent video guys well done

This is wonderful! I can't wait to do this with my grandkids. I love how your daughter got so excited when the fountain started - so sweet!

Love your patience with your daughter ❤, plus show her how to do these things with tools, plus she will be able to show it off and say "I did That" Great Job!!!!!!! 👍

Your a great teacher for your girl, loved the simplicity of the water pump.

Love the simple fountain. Great inspiration! Great family. You are a wonderful father !

I will be building a couple myself. Love that you allowed your daughter to do the work. Please have her tie her hair back when using power tools. I cringed when her hair dangled by the drill tip.

There a a moment when your daughters hair fell down by the drill that made me wince, but great informative video, great job.

I love this so much! So nice to watch you working so patiently with your daughter. Great parenting. I can tell you're a great dad and you have a great daughter. Inspires me to do this with my kids

Wow!! Great Video I would not have known had you not shown us you didn’t fill the Planter up with Rocks. Your technique was very useful. Your Daughter did an Amazing job!!!

Guaranteed to step up your backyard game to the next level with this DIY solar water feature! 😁

So precious to see you do this with your daughter! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely fountain! It’s nice to know each step, and the cost of materials! Also thrilled to see this young girl confidently using power tools-good job Dad! One thing that made me nervous though is her hair near the drill. I have long hair and have to remember to put it up when painting or using a drill. Question: you mentioned birds love it-are the smaller birds able to negotiate the rocks? Thank you! New subscriber.

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing how to do this. It’s going to be my next garden project with my kids. This is so much more affordable than the fountains I see for sale at my local nurseries. We can’t wait to bird watch. ☺

Very cool you two! I made something similar with my kiddos but they're a little too young to understand that they can't keep taking all the rocks out to count them. 😅

Awesome Dad! Teaching your daughter to use power tools. And you’re a great teacher!

Pro tip - check the fountain before the rocks!!great project. Those big pots from Costco made it into a fountain in my yard too!! I’ve made theee fountains using a similar method. Looks great!! Also you can run a drip hose from your system into the bucket to help top off the water. It will evaporate faster but it helps.

What a fun and pretty easy project. I love that your daughter is learning by your side. She’s curious and helpful, and you’re giving her life skills❤

I love how you have your daughter doing the project with you👍🏾🙌🏾

Same as a lot of other comments - as a father it is heart warming to see you include your lovely daughter in the process ! And she will learn so much from being included and remember it for the rest of her life and also learn so much from the experience - most of all to not be afraid of trying things and that she CAN do it too - something that will definitely benefit her throughout her life. Plus she is outside in nature , sunlight and fresh air - not inside staring at a screen looking at toxic content that causes so many mental health issues for kids these days and teaches them all the wrong things about life ! Full marks Dad ! I wish you and your family well from South Australia ! This truly made my day - a welcome relief from politics, war, stupidity that we are buried under every day !

Honestly I have seen other videos so called easy where you need a PhD this is amazing so simple so easy very beautiful and great your little daughter is getting involved minds me of helping my own dad

This DIY was so great from beginning to end. Not only was a beautiful fountain made, but a young lady spent quality time with her father and learned something. Great video - great Dad❤

How sweet. You teaching her things ….so wonderful to see. And she is very interested and learning new things. Good to see a parent teaching his child. Your voice and calm is easy to listen to …hugs and enjoy!!

Beautiful fountain and amazing parenting. Kudos to you for your patient directives to this sweet girl!

You are a great Dad! Very much enjoyed this video. I appreciated your detail and instructions as well. Your instructions were detailed without being pushy, definitely a great teacher! Thanks for the tips, as I'm about to make one of these myself and will follow your method. Your daughter is going to learn so much from you over the years!

Just found this vid. thanks for the great tutorial, and also gotta echo other comments … you’re a great dad , esp lett8ng your daughter use power tools under supervision. A+++ parenting!

I love that this is clearly not the first time your daughter used that drill. And you were so kind and treated her with absolute confidence that she’s competent to do the task. ❤ Do you understand how the world will change with fathers raising children this way? 😍🥰

So beautiful, who can resist this? No kid no adult . So inspiring, great work yayyy❤

I Love your video, Thank You for Sharing, enjoy 😉 with Daughter, she is a good helper!! ❤

👍👍❤️❤️Teaching your kids handyman skills=priceless.

She will never forget doing this with you. I wish my dad had taken the time to do things like this with me when I was her age. Bless you both.

Such a good dad! Sweet girl, sunshine and nice music! What more can you ask for? Oh and a fantastic water fountain! 👏👏

Think outside the box. You should make it easier to service your pump. By placing the pump in the bottom. First you should place the access holes for the pump electric wire higher. So your water won't accidentally drain. Second you should possibly somehow make yourself a center access panel in the wire mesh...in order to clean or change the pump filter pads. You could also stabilize the spray tube using a very narrow piece of PVC tubing or large straw.

Great project! I have the same pot and may do this with it. It seems like there will be significant water loss around the bucket. I may add some plastic around the perimeter of the bucket to funnel water into it. Thanks for the video!

Great lesson and demonstration. The cutest baby red squirrel is jazzing around on the deck outside my window.

Great going Dad! Although I about freaked when har hair was dangling at that drill

Great Video 👌 Thanks The only thing I would add is SAFETY- The Girls Hair was getting close to the drill, would recommend pinning hair back or use hair net😊 Great job Dad

I’m happy to see a young woman gaining confidence with power tools. There’s something important you need to know. Her hair needs to be tied so it doesn’t fall in front of her. Getting hair caught in a tool is not fun and can be painful. As well as wearing safety glasses. I speak from experience. No one wants to spend hours in the ER having metal scraped out of their eye.

What a sweet little girl helper!

Love your cooperation with your amazing daughter. Great parenting. I'll be making one.❤

That is so neat! I’m gonna do one of those, too, but I plan on adding a short ceramic bowl to catch the water, so that the birds can bathe in the ceramic bowl, and still be able to drink from the water flow! Thanks for posting! It’s great that you are teaching the child how to use power tools at a young age! Kudos, to you, young man!

Cool idea. Thanks. Fun project Good job to your daughter using the tools and learning..😊

that was awesome. My dad would have been screaming. attachment theory is real!

Father teaching daughter how fantastic.

Good job dad encouraging your daughter to get her hands dirty. She came really close to getting a hunk of hair ripped out though

Fantastic video…love that you’re teaching your daughter…well done!!!

You are a awesome Dad!!! Thank you

Great job baby girl!!! Helping Dad how awesome is that♥️♥️♥️♥️

This is AWESOME! I've been playing around with making a recirculating bird bath with these panels. I've made two that sort of work but I was missing the mesh idea. Definitely making version three tomorrow based on your design here. I even have that same Costco planter lol. So awesome. Such a clean look too. Well done!

What a good helper she was and what a great dad you are!

So cute, excited for when my daughter of age to participate!

She such a great helper, ,. Makes me miss my daughter's when they were around her age n liked to do projects with me. 😢 great job guys

Beautful family time and wonderful project to share with families ,

Love the "teaching daughter" aspect, but please remember... "Safety" first!! Tie hair and wear Safety glasses. I worked with small assembly line belt yrs ago and saw a workers hair get caught.

Great job!! Love your little assistant😊

Such a fun project to let your girl help with! Good little helper she is there! 👍😊

Just beautiful to see you being such a fun dad. The fountain looks great

I bought the pump you recommended because of the disconnect feature. Like it too. Thank you

Nice, a memory for you and your daughter...quality time with dad

Very nice !! Love that your doing it with your daughter 🥰 definitely want to try and make one for my front step !! Thanks for sharing ❤

Lucky dad and lucky daughter!

Too cool! What a great memory to create with your daughter.

She’s so cute! 😊

I’m going to make this for our bee garden!🐝🐝

So sweet and awesomeness!

That was so awesome watching you both create that beautiful fountain. I had to subscribe and look forward to your content. Blessings.

You two make a great team!😊

Can you ADD to this video so we can HEAR the SOUND of the NEW water fountain ONLY. Without the sound of the bamboo fountain in the background. That was great, I love the fact you're working with your daughter and she was learning something new challenging and not to be afraid of working with power tools. I can't tell you how much that is going to be a valuable lesson to her. Trust me, my father was much like you and I thank him everyday for that - RIP Daddy. It has made me try things on my own, that I thought we're not too complicated, too dangerous, or out of my wheelhouse, and thanks to RU-vid VIDEOS doable. I have NOT had to hire someone to do it for me, not only SAVING ME $$$, but giving me a sense of pride, accomplishment, and empowerment. ❤😊

Beautiful & simple! Great little helper you have there. I do suggest she wear safety glasses when drilling, tho!

that is really cool, i think i'm going to give this a try in my garden!

Looks very nice. I think I would put the outer pot hole higher and lots of holes around the bottom of the bucket so that the overspray doesn't end up in the outer pot, draining out through the wire hole.

Epic… gonna make this with my kids

Love it! Fairly simple & beautiful ❤

Love it! Saved to my Pinterest water feature board.

Great job . Can’t wait to try this. Thank you

I love it too!!❤

I could see this video going viral. Great job guys! I want to do this but I want to do with a mister. That would be so cool in my opinion, especially if you have plants around or even if you're outside I do a lot of misting and it cools the temperature alot, or at least it does in my humid area in Georgia.

I love this! I made a smaller version but used a plastic charger and used a glue gun to burn 4 holes in the charger . However it worked great except i am using a cement pedestal to put my bucket of water un which is an octagin shape so water gets in around the sides when it rains. Sad face. I should just make yours and make the pedstal a dry bird bath. I dont want any standing water because if mosquitoes. Just nervous i cant cut the screen. But i love your video and you are a great loving father!!!!

Sorry this was suppose to go on Trumps video, I can feel it in the air song. I'm making that fountain I have all my supplies!!!! You little girl is so adorable!

Awesome team work I love your involvement with your princess

looks great and thanks for the great step by step... has much water sprayed outside of the bucket and accumulated in the planter ?

Awesome video! Great teamwork! I hope to do this with my kids!

Best video on the internet

That's Cool, good job guys
