How To Install a Rain Chain w/ DIY Solar Fountain Built in!!!
DIY Rain Chain Installation with a built in solar fountain/bird bath!!!
Head to squarespace.com/modernbuilds to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code: MODERNBUILDS
This project was a ton of fun for me to brainstorm and figure out! Just doing a simple rain chain install didn't seem like it'd be cool enough to make a video of, so I took it to the next level and added a solar fountain pump to the inside so that it functions great as a downspout/drainage while it's raining and a beautiful, cool sounding water feature when it isn't raining! Depending on where/if you put an overflow valve in, it can also act as a little pond or bird bath too!!
Materials and Supplies:
Rain Chain: amzn.to/4bIgF3I
Solar Fountain Pump: amzn.to/4bEDFAR
Ceramic Pot / Vase: shorturl.at/VsSMP
Gravel I Used: homedepot.sjv.io/B07xJq
Rocks I used: homedepot.sjv.io/Wq74rX
Masonry Drill BIts: amzn.to/458gnR9
Silicone Caulk: amzn.to/3VpJhIn
Cork assortment: amzn.to/4bD0cxK
I appreciate y'all watching!!!

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

Hey after the commercial it does not come back to video. It go out to you tube . That plus in video ads is to much bs to bother watching again
What are the outer boards held on by? Four screws? Am I right in thinking that if you stand on the edge of the bed, the boards will simply come off?
Why are you yelling
must be nice to get appliances for free
you should of had the tiles on the floor tested for asbestos those types were notorious for containing asbestos
That sealer works for marble subway also?
so .i.
The white flower boxes need repainted gray with a cedar top. Red geraniums to fill the boxes and beds
People are commenting about asbestos.. how could that be an issue when the glue is wet before removal?
I'd like to see before and afters at the end.
You are so creative and talented, but I feel like it is very crowded with everything you've thrown into the house as decoration. Many times less is more.
Honestly, I would say that the "after" looks more dated somehow... The countertops, backsplash, and cabinets look like early 2000s to me.
How did you convert the one sink to a two sink vanity without changing the plumbing? That's what I really wanted to see?
100,000 tons of microplastics added to the soil on the property
Uhhh what happens when that floor gets wet?? Water will pool up underneath!!!
Why do you need to texture the wall? Something else to dust or It can become a dust collectors
Your self-build version looks great and with 3/4" ply vs. particle board, there's really no comparison as to which one is the stronger build. There is one more caveat worth factoring into it and that's the additional finishing time and materials for staining, painting, sanding, etc. Without taking these steps, the self-build project will look, well... unfinished. With it, you're adding a fair bit of time and maybe an additional $80 in materials to the cost. Maybe there's a happy compromise to be had by purchasing the center cabinet and drawers and then building your own custom shelves, organizers, and clothes hangers? Just a thought. Great job!
How long did this take?
The words whenever used in reference to time is poor English it’s when we bought the property yet so many are doing this please stop
supercool dad
Okey this would be a no go in germany, I am in shock how american live like that no quality at all and only cheap products.
Anyone else in 2024
I just seen your video and I'm wondering if you released the plans for this yet this bench would work great for me.
Rain chains are not to replace a downspout. They are mainly for decoration. Like others say, that plywood will rot. It also supposed to take water away from the house, not towards it.
Why does he sound like Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory when he's narrating... I can't unhear it, send help!
El Reno…
grey and orange do not go well together at all. it would be better to paint the brick brown or beige so it would go well with the orange features
Funny, this is more of a "look what tools i have" than a bench build... 😂
Can you use the round tool on walls? Have a dry wall disaster. 🤔
Good video and content. In this case, doing a new slab would be much easier and better overall.
That is better price than ikea. My power outlet at my rental was painted over. Smh
Colors are too white, too orange and the gray is dull. I like the shutters and matching their color on the door, bricks and the white walls would make it classier and warmer. Earth tones always make a home look warm and cozy. White has to be cleaned with some frequency but earth tones don’t need frequent freshen ups.
Two nails as the Centers of the Ellipse and a String saves paper.
Duck tape. X
looks shit
Good job. You knew what you wanted and did it. Dont listen to the phony experts about the "right" way. Could things be a little better for your fist time. HELL no. First time this was AAA. For an experienced person id suggets you use a woodframe to hold the material that way you can pour ONCE. But again your results are bang on and will last at leats a decade. So GOOD ***** JOB. 🎉 If I can do it as good I'd be proud
You spent close 20k anyway, and that is minus labor. The appliances and floors would have been atleast 10 to 15k. So stop under-reporting your cost. This was easily a 30k reno or more, si you have negative equity at the end of it all
You did not include the price for the load bearing wall.
What is the name and brand of the counter you picked? ❤
Run the texture spray cans under hot water in the sink while shaking up a few times and it sprays out more even
It's an incredible remodel, but I do think I would have either painted or replaced the cabinets. They don't seem to fit in with the ultra clean and modern surroundings.
Oh, God. The blue iLPN on that tile case gives me warehouse inbound flashbacks. I'm glad we don't have to deal with those anymore.
How was the 1st dump? Fan work ok?
Dude speaks in uppercase.
No way it was just $5000. It was probably $10k and labor would have been $10k. So you get a new kitchen and added equity. But no way $5k and get $25k
This was really fun to watch thanks for posting
Holy floor spacers lol
I am today's old to know Hisense making fridge,stove and microwave other than TVs 😅
Hate when people say they live demo because it relieves stress. Bullshit. Stop being cliche
