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

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

  • @dragoness0420
    @dragoness0420 Před 2 dny

    as someone who will likely be a life-long renter, i can appreciate that you didn't cut corners during the reno/repairs. i've experienced so many dodgy "repairs" in my 20 years of renting, so it's nice to see someone who does it right and not only cares about their property, but also their renters. I think the only think I would have done differently is matching the metal in the light fixture to the kitchen faucet; either both brass finish of the light fixture, or both that brushed metal finish of the faucet. that's just a personal aesthetic thing though. great work!

    Never use normal joint compound with mesh tape. Only use hot mud. Also you need thin out joint compound with water and paddle mixer before you use it. Don't use Kilz 2 on bare drywall (or skim coat). You need a PVA drywall specific primer and sealer.

  • @zachbondoc9277
    @zachbondoc9277 Před 3 dny

    DUDE!! I normally don't like natural wood cabinet like that but you made those work well in the space. the only thing I would have changed ( maybe it was there and I just didn't see it) but adding an outlet on that counter area next to the fridge. that seems like a perfect coffee bar area. also me personally, the texture walls aren't my first choice. overall nailed it!
