After watching this video, I wanted to share a trick my awesome husband figured out. We just finished installing drip to our containers and of course I already had them potted up, so we had to run the 1/4" tubing on the outside of the pots this year. In order to keep that tubing in place, he used binder clips (the black ones typically found in an office) to hold the tubing in place. He ran the tubing through the silver part of the clip, then just clipped it to the side of the container- genius!!!💖💖💖 He used the mini size, but they have any size you need for your containers. It has been fabulous!!
So happy you posted this I have a bunch already potted and was trying to figure out how to stabilize the tubing!!!
I have never felt so cool as I did when I put my pots on drip after watching Laura for years.
Laura, please know that you are the best instructor. I have tried to watch other CZcams videos and get instructions and their style is random, wordy, personal chitter chatter and lengthy. You guys have these tutorials on point and edit and speed up just at the right places and you stay in point and explain it just as we need it. Thank you so so much to you and your team!!
Absolutely!! Most of the time watching others I’m always saying please Just get to the Point already!!😆
@@tamararobinson2069 hahaaa yes yes absolutely hahaa. I've even muted or fast forward to get to the part I need
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are the one to show us all of this, Laura. You inspire me to educate myself and get out there and do these things instead of waiting for my husband to do it! He is very capable, but now I realize that I am too!👩🌾💪🌼💛💚💜
Yes 🙌! I run all the drip irrigation and my husband manages the sprinkler system. Although there’s no shame in asking him to tighten a fitting or two when they won’t cooperate with me 😂
I was just coming on here to say the same! I set up our system along our side yard flower bed, I was so proud of myself!
Agree with you Laura is Great Lady who sharing gardening tips very detail by explaining , have a nice day to you
So true!
good for you!
Oh my goodness, thanks for clarifying this hose thread pipe thread stuff, trying to connect the darn things together when I was setting up irrigation was driving me crazy... now I know why. 😭🤣👍❤️
Hi Laura! You might not see this, but your videos are my happy place. I bought my first apartment in a complex. I only have 2 flower beds. When I moved in it was barren and with you helpful content I have a baby garden! Thank you so much. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 Chef Riana
There is a place in my heart for the bravest of little gardens!
@@karentriebel1217 thanks!
@@rianagoosen I do houseplants as well so I know that even a small garden patch can be very rewarding :)
Drip is definitely a game changer… And never feel embarrassed about laying your fittings out on the store floor… Sometimes you just need to lay it out to see what you’ve got.. 💁🏼♀️
So true, I’ve done this many times and no one seems to think it’s strange 😂
I was in Home Depot one time and there was 3 of us with all of our parts laid out on the floor...it was a blast!! We were trading parts... No-I think this would work for you better ..... Here, try this one for yours!! And I think we all got exactly what we needed--I know I did!
@@klcpca Ha! That's my kind of isle.. classic!!
@@TexasMyTexas it was awesome!! LOL
I bought mine online but I had a written list of what I needed that I had done research for and some drawings as well which really help with the visual and to count how many of each part I would need.
Genius! Garden steak and tape! I was wondering how she was going to pull the tubing thru the dirt!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
isn't that a lightbulb moment??? electricians have been doing similar procedures for years (they call it 'fishing the line') i think... i'm like DUUUHHHH :)
Do you have a well
You must mean 'stake' 🤔
I know! So smart! Every time I’ve forgotten in the past I was frustrated at myself. Now I can just fix it! 😁
Holy cow, that "just use a stake" trick to get the tube in is genius 😳👏👌
This is so good of a walk-through. I've had everything laid out on the floor in Home Depot pretending I'm trying to hook it all up. No one stares, so it seems it might be common practice. 😂
Yep I do it all the time and no one seems to care. All the parts look similar but can be quite different so it keeps me from having to make a second trip!
My husband says I can’t have a drip system like Laura until I start making money from my gardening like Laura. 😕😁
It’s all in good fun, while I’m working in the garden he’ll also ask “ is that how Laura does it”? Or he’ll call me on his way to work and say “I’m not interrupting your Laura time am I ?”
Just this weekend we planted a huge area of about 14 varieties of squash and pumpkins and when we were finished he said “Is Laura planting pumpkins? Is that why we are doing this?” 😂
Thanks so much for all your wonderful informative videos and for giving my husband something to tease me about. 💗
😂😂😂
Makes sense if u r poor
Drip irrigation is actually more efficient and uses less water than overhead watering.
If you pay for water, it will eventually pay for itself. You can try that 😋
😂😂😂😂
LOL! Are we married to the same man? 😂
Last day of vacation! Greetings fellow Garden Answer Groupies 😀
I get to relax with Laura and ☕
before we get back on the road.
Happy Gardening Laura and Aaron 🌿💚🌿
I've learned so much from y'all about drip, my husband and I installed it everywhere a few years ago from watching your channel. This year I pulled it all out and put it in a grid pattern like Paul did and the pressure is so much better and you're right we evolve and just keep improving. Whenever I put 1/2 inch black tubing in a walkaway I run it through PVC pipe to protect it from puncturing.
Be sure to put the teflon thread tape on the threads CLOCKWISE.
Yes. The direction you apply the tape definitely matters.
A lesson we learn the hard way!
I didn’t know that! Thank you! That’s super helpful. Now I’m gonna go check all my fittings and see what the heck I did.
Where do you get the thread adapter female to female hose to irrigation fitting, it's white in the video?
@anand bagmar That's right, you have to put the teflon tape in a clockwise direction when you hold the pipe in front of you. This way, when you put your fitting on which is also in the clockwise direction, you won't bunch up the tape. If you put the tape on in a counterclockwise direction, when you put a fitting on, it will bunch up because you are essentially moving the fitting against the direction that the tape is lying. There are several YT videos on this....
see….THIS is why I watch Garden Answer. You two make everything feel accessible! I am trying a soaker hose on a timer for the first time this year, and i’m already anticipating I will be using it A LOT this year. Before, I hand watered and always had issues like blossom end rot. I’m hoping this consistency helps. Thank you for the inspiration, Laura and Aaron! You guys even inspired me to start my own little youtube channel 🤗🌱 Anyway, have a great day everybody!
@Angel Of Domestic Bliss hello 🤗🌱 CorrectI was growing in pots last year and I was watering really inconsistently, which I read leads to a plants inability to pull up calcium from the soil. I bought some “rot stop” because it was too late for the eggs. And I just realized I forgot the eggs in the planting hole again this year 😱😂🤦🏽♀️
@Angel Of Domestic Bliss thank you! you too! 🤗🌱
Soaker hoses really helped me the last couple years. I have the cheap dial timers so I still have to remember to go out & set it but at least I don't have to worry about forgetting that the water is on & flooding my plants.
@@mellfraze8112 yes even having the soaker hose there and hooking up the hose to water while I do other things in the garden is easier than hand watering. I have mine on a quick connect so it’s super easy.
Good morning everyone & TGIF!!. Who else sits with coffee & waits for 7 am? Lol. ME!!!
Thank you for this video! You guys have definitely inspired me to want to install drip in my flower beds! Your explanations of everything makes it seem not so scary to tackle! Much appreciated! 🥰🥰
Really appreciate the time this took to film. I feel more confident about trying drip. I would have liked the video to slow down when you were putting together the timer and other items, just to watch the pieces go together.

INSTALLING AN IRRIGATION DRIP SYST - Kreatyve Gardenista (YT)

Good video. Drip irrigation is easy, relatively inexpensive, and efficient. It’s also very forgiving - there are no mistakes that can not be easily remedied. 😅 I just set up a similar system for the 12 planters along our back patio tapping off of a hose spigot with a splitter with a Bluetooth controlled timer, and a similar setup with the backflow preventer, pressure regulator, and filter. Works like a charm. My wife is happy and now my daughter wants a similar setup at her house!
Rain bird makes a kit that gives you all the hose parts and some black supply line, so 1/2 drip tube and 1/4 inch tubing and some emitters.
This is a very simple way to get started!
Agreed. Great way to get started is with a kit until you figure out the shortcuts!
Thanks for the video! I have installed drip in part of my garden this year, making small adjustments as I learn more and see how it is working. Would you consider a "what would Aaron do?" video to provide suggestions on irrigation design for different setups and help troubleshoot common problems? Thanks!
Great idea!
I am so spoiled with your regular videos…and I don’t even garden!! I’m always refreshing my CZcams feed, saying to myself…where’s my GA video!! Thank you from the bottom of my non-gardening heart!!
G' morning! 🌞 PERFECT TIMING! I am waiting for my shipments to arrive today and tomorrow with my pressure regulator/filter, backflow preventer and ½in blank supply line. Being on a tight budget I had to order in segments. Last Fall I purchased the connectors, goof plugs, emitters , ¼ in line and shut off valves. My son gave me a 4 zone timer for Christmas... so I will be bringing ALL THINGS drip irrigation tonight to refresh my memory. Thank you for this additional information! Happy Friday!
I didn’t need any of this information but I watched every second anyway. 😂
Same here🤣
Me too
I’ve never ran drip before but watching you all has encouraged, educated, and inspired me to try. My husband and I have set up almost all our beds on drip, and now I see all the time (and better success hopefully 🤣) I’m going to have this year without the task of watering. Thank you!
I look forward to watching your new video every day. Most days I just rewatch your videos. I get lost in all your videos. Thank you so much
That’s a lot of parts! Now I know why you’ve evolved over time.
Thank you for explaining all the parts and options. The difference in hose threads vs pipe threads was a game changer for me.
Good Morning, Happy Friday Garden Answer Team & following frriends! I am thankful for the tutorial...I do not have alot of yard or enough planted pots to warrant a drip system, but everytime I water & drag my hose around and carefully over /around ground plants, flowers trying not to disrupt my plants I think of how nice a drip system would be. Have a great day all!
I have to say if you have Any amount plants and ever leave home for even a weekend it is worth having🤗 also I just enjoy more time to have to weed or just enjoy my small garden pots etc., also I have a double timer and one side run a hose and sprinkler to a section of lawn. My daughter just set a little money aside each week in the winter and come spring she could afford the system🤗
@@tamararobinson2069 ...Funny you mention leaving for a weekend...I did exactly that & left my husband in charge of watering....he did water but when I pulled in and seen my sad droopy plants, instantly knew he didnt listen & had not given enough, nor watered all of them......they have all rebounded back....thankfully. I am thinking more & more about the small investment for drip...
18 less pots to hand water. Very instructional, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Morning Laura and Friends!!! So Thankful for all the different content videos to make our spaces that much greener. 🌻🐝💛 Enjoy your day!!!!
good morning Laura I am from Trinidad love watching your videos would like to know if some of your plants can grow in my country
I’m not a gardener and have never commented on a CZcams video before...but I am so inspired by you and you motivate me every day to want to make my garden better. I asked my husband if it was possible to add drip to our outdoor tap (because you’ve given me the “add drip to everything bug”)..he didn’t think so and then today, your video posted! Thank you, exactly the information I needed! 😊
Aaron and Lauren, I hope you realize how POWERFUL you have made your subscribers feel.
After watching your earlier videos I bought the Dig starter kit from Home Depot. You made it easy for me to set it up for my patio garden. I had a few questions about using it with my water barrel which were answered by helpful people at Dig customer service. Thank you so much for making videos on this topic and for maintaining your incredible number of postings. I admire your work ethic.
I am so loving that hedge of green behind you. I remember the day you (and by you I mean we, cuz of course as your audience we are all mentally grabbing a shovel and getting dirty right along with you😁) planted them. So dang pretty!
Love the sound of the birds in the background.
one of the best tutorials on drip irrigation..I feel so comfortable to get started on adding irrigation.
Laura this is incredibly helpful!!! Your detail is so great that I'm not afraid to give this a try!!! Thank you thank you thank!!!! You're a natural at teaching!!! God really gifted you!!!!
Thank you, thank you for this video. I’m going to put in drip because I’m just plain tired of hose watering 💦
I set up drip for the first time this year and it was a tedious process. But it is truly worth it! I no longer need to drag a hose in the hot sun and water all my containers (do you hear the angels singing). I just check emitters from time to time to make sure they are okay. I am so proud of myself for setting this up and I would not have known about it if it wasn't for Laura and Aaron. Thanks Guys!!
Great timing!!! Came across this video at the same time we’re irrigating the planters on our porch!!! Thank you for sharing!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨
Aaron @21:18 - you give new meaning to wind blown air! 🤣 The results...fantastic hair, Laura!
Thank you so much for this video.
I really enjoyed learning the different components of the drip system.
I may actually try this.
For sure I’ll use that elbow I didn’t know existed for my low knuckle busting Faucet.
Adding the pipe tape… obvious but we missed it and had small dripping despite a tight installation. Redid with pipe tape after your video and drips are gone. 😀 Thank you for your candid and thorough instructions. You’re a blessing.
Not only are you so smart and intelectual but your also a super model! Aaron, that was a great shoot! Thanks you guys this was very informative.
Just went to Home Depot yesterday and bought a bunch of stuff to set up a drip system for my 50 or so containers in my back yard. I have been hand watering these everyday for the last couple of years and never thought about a system like this. New to gardening & just didn’t know much about drip systems. Glad I found your channel & your video because maybe my plants will survive better this summer.
Oh my gosh, what a coincidence my ordered irrigation system is arriving today, Friday. I'm excited but no idea what I'm going to build. Well I know what I need, but I have never done such a thing. Everything I'm doing this year is new, because I found a CZcamsr that inspires me so much, all of a sudden I have a new friend named Laura and a new hobby also. Only because Laura and her wisdom make me feel like a solid grower. (Which I have never done before).
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been so overwhelmed about drip tubing thinking this is all too confusing. You did an excellent job of explaining and now I feel more confidant to try!! Thanks again! You and Aaron do a great job of explaining and showing!👏👏
Great video. Setting up drip for my planters has been the #1 reason they’ve looked as amazing as they have over the past several years. It started after a neighbor said he’d water my plants when I went away for a few days and I came home to plants that were almost dead.
I love your work! You've inspired us to create our own garden oasis. So much so that my husband built post planters for me! Everyday my husband and I just stare at all the flowers! Thanks soooo much for this video! I just shared it with my husband.
This is VERY helpful! I had watched all videos with your irrigation system, and boy, I watched them many times. I thought I was ready!!! LOL. I visited the hardware store multiple times and stood in front of the same isle for hours. At home, once I had finished connecting all pieces for my small irrigation system, I turned the faucet on and wow it was leaking at every single connection. It took a couple of days to realize that I needed to use the thread seal tape. Lots of 💦 but so worth it.
Only Garden Answer can make “plumbing” fun to watch! 💦 💧
LOL! So true!
RIGHT!!!! I'm like glued to my screen so intensely you'd think I was going to put a drip system in myself! LoL
I'm saving this video to study it later and watch it a dozen more times. I took a sprinkler irrigation class in college and I approve of this video.
I have a dinky backyard garden so don't need any of this stuff but I watched anyway. I love watching all of your videos. Came across one of your videos on CZcams and watched soooo many of them now. Love your home and love your passion. Its infectious. Love Aaron and adore your little boy. ❤
I'm living my garden life vicariously through you! I live in Phoenix Arizona so we are very limited in what we can grow here.. although you might be impressed with the few plants I have nursed along in this heat. Someday I will move to a cooler climate so I can have hydrangeas! LOVE your videos!! Keep em coming!!
Thank you SOOOOO much. You sold me on drip, both in ground and pots, when I started watching you a few years ago. "Sold", but getting to it has been another story. I bought and started to set up some things last year, but still don't have it going. Everything for me will have to be off a faucet. I have a HUGE, LONG line of pots I do, as well as my in ground stuff. I've watched several of your videos on this, more than once. This one is a great help (so were the others) and once again gets me motivated to get it done. Hand watering is just killing me(time-wise) and I can't keep consistent enough. And I always have to have someone come take care of stuff for vacation. If I could get my drip going, I'd still need someone, but it would be so much easier for them.
Just set most of mine up for the first time this year. GAME CHANGER!! Now, if you could just do a winterizing of these hose setups EARLY...so we all have time to gather up any supplies we may need.
Thanks for all the inspiration!
After watching some of your videos in the past about setting up drip, I successfully set it up for my containers in the front of my house! I felt so proud of myself and it was all thanks to you showing me how and giving me the confidence to tackle something new! THANK YOU! Now, this video helped me understand the drip tubing (and where to get it - thank you for the links!!) so that I can be as successful in setting it up for my hanging baskets on my back deck. I've got a new project and just in time for our July vacation! Thank you, Laura, Aaron, (and et al) for being so incredibly helpful!!
Your videos gave me the courage to try drip to my pots last year. What a game changer! Thank you for inspiring us to try new things in our gardens🌸
One day I will gather up some courage and attempt drip irrigation for my pots on either side of my garage. This video is giving me some confidence ! You guys are always great!
thank you for this!! very helpful, it has definately given me motivation to finally install my system. The tubes are just lying in the garden getting warmed up waiting for me to actually get them all connected! 😏🌸💧
Good morning Garden Answer community. 🌿🌸🌿 💚
Hey there good morning!!
This wasn’t confusing at all…actually we are working to add more automation to our watering system and this was perfect! 🥰I really appreciate all the different scenarios and solutions. We have a spigot that is only 5 inches off of a concrete slab. I was dreading it, but this absolutely helps a ton!!! Thank you for doing such a thorough video on drip irrigation👏🏻
Your channel is so awesome. I learn so much and get great information on how to fix my problems. My faucet is so close to the ground it’s a struggle to even get my hose splitter attached much less my hoses. Boom!!! Use an elbow. You saved the day. No more struggling with hoses at the beginning of every year.
Thanks for the motivation to get out there and fix my clogged irrigation in my vegetable garden in the South Texas heat! Love your channel!
Always love your educational videos that goes through each step. Have learned so much from you all that I just say to my husband when he asks about something; that's what Laura and Aaron have taught me. :)
Thanks Laura and Aaron for a video that saved me lots without much effort! I found my roll of Teflon tape and the hose washers that had collected and now: no leaks! I am going to , with the help of this video, try my hand at drip irrigation, why not? I love every video, but sometimes the scale is so massive I think, well, this isn’t for me! This one had my name on it!
This has been so helpful! I did my window boxes with the PW water wise kit and now have all my pots to do. The only issues I’m having is locating parts. Everyone is still discovering the joys of gardening and buying all the things 🤣. Thank you for this video and all you do to inspire us daily!!!

I just wanna take a moment for THANKING LAURA AND AARON. 💓💓For all this basic information that they have given me throughout the years..
I started watching their videos when I was 14 years old...and now i am 16.. at this age i have taken the charge of our small land that is also like Mars 😂and I have almost converted into a beautiful garden i am still an in-progress learner...u helped me found tha this is my passion..now all i wanna do is gardening. I do kill plants and do mistakes...but i always remember that LAURA does that too...nd that gives me motivation to start again...now all i wish is buying a huge land when i grow old...and make the a beautiful garden like yours...
I don't know if u guys will read this but i wanna say that...i remember that u once said that u guys with proven winners are not trying to sell stuff but to introduce people to this hobby...i wanna say that u guys DID it!!!U guy WON!!🤭 U guys gave me my passion and I can't be grateful enough for it...🌻🌻💓🌳🌳
I can't wait to see what you plant in these pots!!!❤
Wow guys. This is the video I’ve been waiting for. You know Aaron - you can put together an irrigation drip kit for beginners and sell it. I would buy one. Having everything needed in one kit would be less scary for people like me. You could totally market this as we become more sustainable. Thank you guys. This was awesome. Saving it to my videos.
Remember when you did your presentation all about drip irrigation at the Northwest Flower and Garden show in Seattle? Then you confessed that you felt so silly because of how wet our area is.. I was there and I thought it was great! I ran drip this year and the only reason I knew how to do it was all because of you! Thank you for everything. 😊 (I regret not standing in line for a meet and greet 😞)
Haha. You don’t have it for full power 😂😂😂Thank you for showing each step. This is how most of our small gardens uses this system. And genius tip on using the tape and garden stake. 👍
Perfect timing. I have watched every one of your irrigation videos and ordered everything I needed (I hope) in order to get my enclosed garden I just finished building all set up, along with my flower bed out front. My drip just came today and I can't wait to get it all set up and efficient! Thanks for all the inspiration and tips I never would have even thought to use drip before watching your videos and realizing it's not as complicated as it may have seemed before.
Super helpful video. We’re doing a landscape project using drip and this was a very nice intro to the necessary parts, rationale for parts and assembly. Thank you so much. You are my garden hero!
Good morning beautiful Garden Answer fans! 🌻
Thank-you really enjoyed your explaining because I bought tons of supplies this winter to do my wholeyard , but I was missing some education so I don't mess it up.
All I can say is, your parents must be so proud to see how self sufficient and resourceful you both are with each task at hand and how articulate you are in explaining something so complex like this. It’s a skill you’ve mastered from experience. I know this is a 2year old video so you’ve grown so much more then to now. Do you ever go back and watch your first videos to see the confidence building in all you’ve achieved? Thx Laura & Aaron for sharing.
It’s been three years I’ve wanted to run a drip system for my garden. Every time I think about it, I think of you and your wonderful video of how to. This will be the year. Thank you for showing us how easy it is.
I like your gardening method to arrange water drip system in garden it easy , save water and save the time , thanks for sharing to us such informative and educational
I love how you both explain everything so well, this information is so helpful, thank you.
So helpful! You always go all the way with details, you cover every detail!
Oh thank you so much for this video! My husband and I just started gardening in 2019 and we haven't set up any irrigation yet - this video is tremendously helpful!
I just installed the Proven Winners drip system in my container garden based on your recommendation! It’s works great and I’m glad I don’t have to worry about watering when we’re away.
THANK YOU! That was so helpful. My drip lines kept popping off because of the water pressure. I didn't realize that you could buy pressure reducers- that will be a game changer!
It’s so great to know this info!! Thank you 🤓 My husband is very competent at
This type of thing but now I know how to do it as well! Female power 💪
Good morning, Laura ☕️ @ClausDalby will be impressed with your pot placements! They’re going to look amazing 🤩 You make running drip 💧 so easy! Aaron made a good point; to stand in the isle and find the correct fittings. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Adding drip to our garden beds and pots has been a game changer for me. The plants are happier and I have gained so much time that used to be taken up watering. And I learned it all watching Garden Answer…thanks!!
Thanks for this..I don't have an elaborate set-up but just seeing the helpful gadgets for my simple set up, great! And yes, those little rubber washers are the most valuable piece there is, stops the guisers 🥴
Last year, thanks to your previous videos, I did the same sort of set up. I’m OLD, so I had a leak in the same spot because I couldn’t tighten things enough. Tape would have been helpful! Will try that next time. Thanks for these great lessons on how to make our lives easier.
Love this! I just installed drip irrigation myself this year and I was very intimidated at first, but it got easier the more I did it. Just a tip if you have to garden while it's hot and sunny out and there isn't any shade - I have an old patio umbrella and umbrella base that I plop down wherever I need some shade so I can work in the garden and not burn up under the hot sun. 😊
So helpful!! You showed me what I did wrong on my setup and ways to trouble shoot my leaks I have and now I can fix it! 😊 Great video! Thanks! 🤩👍
Dear Aaron & Laura, thank you so much for continuing to share your God given gift with us. You have empowered us to create a veggie garden and now a flower garden and flowering pots around our home. Our home is so welcoming and provides a sanctuary we didn’t know we needed. Would you believe our boys and I just pulled two types of garlic from our raised bed! We are looking forward to sharing them with friends. Irrigation is now on our list and thanks to you we know we will have no problem tackling this task. You have removed the fear we had. From the bottom of our hearts thank you.
Thanks so much for this video. Came just in time and I really appreciate the links you include ...it made it so easy to pickup the missing parts for my system. You and your husband are the best!
These videos take me back. When I was a teenager I used to help install irrigation lines on my dad's farm/ranch. My main job was to punch holes in the tubing and insert spray emitters at the base of each tree. He grew avocados on several thousand acres of land.
Excellent video! Not confusing, because you explained it perfectly.I have been waiting for a video explaining the drip system. Now is see the BIG PICTURE! Lol
Thank you very much. 💗🌱💗🌱💗
This is such a great video! I set up drip and it took me weeks of looking up things online and I still ended up with a bunch of extra parts. This will save people a lot of time.
Yowza! Thank you so much for the demo. I have tried in vain to set up a drip that works. You and Aaron are the best!
I don't know what it is about them, but I love these maintenance and set up videos.
I never knew about drip irrigation until I started watching your videos and it has been a game changer in my garden! Thank you for videos like this that are so helpful .
As I was working on tweaking an area of drip in the garden last night my husband came to help and brought out a heat gun and all sorts of tools and I just looked at him and said “ Laura doesn’t need a heat gun or tools- she snaps it all together by hand just like that!”
I appreciate how you explained of how each situation will need to be different. Not because one is better then another but because thats just the nature of the project. Saying how you will need to stand in the hardware aisle and see what they have and giving brief examples was very helpful. Often I see people only mention it in passing which often comes across as "you could do it other ways but I am doing to show you the best way", as they proceed to copy what you have exactly.
