    little tip . if you cant get the tubing on to the pump , boil some water and pour into a mug and place the tubing in the hot water for a few mins , it will become softer and easy to slide onto the pump , once cooled , it will become tight again and be a tight fit

    I stumbled across your bucket water fountain which is fantastic! I'm in East Texas, so we gets pretty hot and pretty dry in the summer. The other water fountain that I had, had to be filled twice a day this one I think will last all week. You are the greatest Robbie! Such a fantastic attitude, your character is wonderful, how refreshing is that! And such a creative lady, omigosh! that's beautiful! You have inspired me. Thank you, oh, and I have turn my older brother on to your bucket water Fountain who lives in Bakersfield California, too. "HOT", I'd say. He has birds that he feeds in his backyard, so he is very excited to get his Fountain going.

    Great Idea, Thank You For Your Time Putting This Video Together
    This was just the thing I was looking for. I used a Craftsman Square Stackable Bucket, which has a deeper top. I used a solar pump with a dry run protection, which turns off the pump if it does not sense water. This took all of 10 minutes to make, drill the holes, cut out the knotch and paint. I used only 8 small holes, and would advise anyone making this to make less holes, set up and watch it work. If it overflows, drill some more holes 2 at a time.

I didn’t know how to do either and was afraid to put in the effort and have it fail. Thanks so much for giving me the confidence to spoil my neighborhood hummies and plant some strawberries. You are a really great person. Thanks Robbie!

(I’m too independent for my own good.). lol Finally got it at Home Depot for less than $5.00 for 10 feet. Your videos have taught me so much getting started making bird fountains. Thank you. ❤❤

    Your bathroom looks just like you.... eclectic and fun!
    Btw, don't wash your tools and brushes in the sink... take them outside to wash out the paint because paint will clog your plumbing.
    It would be cool to take an interesting bowl and some marbles and river rocks from the dollar store, and make a small water feature for your bathroom that will make a pleasant sound, with the echo in the room... it will be a soft sound that you'll hear throughout your home... lovely.

    Robbie ~ you are such an inspiration !!! I have learned SO MUCH from you and enjoy your videos. One thing I wanted to be sure about (I think I get it) is that when you are using the soldering iron (I bought the one you linked) is that you don’t use any solder, you are just using heat to melt the plastic. Thanks again for everything you are doing. You are a pleasure to watch and an inspiration. 🦜

    • @veronicaoliver5172
      @veronicaoliver5172 3 роки тому +1

      Yes you're just using the heated tip to melt the plastic (don't use any solder). Hope it's okay I'm responding on Robbie's behalf. I haven't made one yet so I'm not an expert but I have watched all her fountain videos at least twice! Be sure to do it outside in a well ventilated area because of the fumes from melting plastic. Happy fountain making!

All the other videos showed the patio pot with a dug out base underneath. This would be so much easier. Thank you for sharing. This is the first video I saw that I think I can do 😊👍

I just could not get peace aboput gettinfg seed from the big bird seed companies. Now I am feeding more birds. Also-I made a fruit fly feeder from small buckets. I'd payed $25 for a feeder you put bananas into. The birds snack on the bugs from the banana.
