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

MODERN BUILDS
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.

I am really sorry for that unhappy woman who spent two years for you. This is a shame I am your fellow citizen. I didn't believe it at first, when my friends told me and I saw it on the Facebook page, I blocked you. And I will block you here and on Instagram. You are neither a good creator nor a good friend. Unreliable. You should be feared and avoided. I block 😱😱😱

    So what equipment do we use if we don't have all the various saws other toys to do this work? How much to rent/buy should be in consideration. Also to make it perfect experience is essential. So I added some of it up I got 12,000 and figured maybe better if I leave it and take it off the top of the price of house, if selling. If it is for yourself then buy equipment and let it sit in your garage till it rots.

    I looked up the prices of everything listed as 'provided by.' The items cost about $5,500. Even if he had purchased everything, he would have saved a massive amount of money. A kitchen remodel of this caliber would have cost over $35,000 if it had been done by a professional crew.

    great work. I'm noticing a pattern that you really like wall texture; it makes sense in a lot of older homes, as it gives them a classic and historic feel. How did you deal with sealing the window against rot and water intrusion? Both our bathrooms have them and they need extensive work, but I'm scratching my head on how to deal with them.

    @jodigreenwood5272 Před dnem

    Maybe you will get more money out than you put in but you really need an interior designer. You are clearly a super handy guy but your taste... I'm sorry, not great. Mixing a cool colored floor with warm colored cabinets (that look very old fashioned) is a no. The counter top was nice but not a fan of the backsplash (although it looks like you did a really good job) and please, not over the stove microwaves. Just no! So 20 years ago. Textured walls in the kitchen are also a cleaning nightmare.
