Love this Video. Very helpful Can you please tell me where I can buy that pump
D
What’s the name or link to the pump ? Anyone ???
Very nice, May I know the manufacturer and the model of the solar panel? Thanks
Why does the intro music sound different
I am trying to get an old "boy with pottery" pouring water into three large cement "shells". Never done this before, but Roger makes this look so easy…..no plumbing. Hope I can duplicate this with the fountain I have to work with. Love this simple video. Does Home Depot have that solar thingy?
first pump he showed had the ground prong removed from the electrical plug…very unsafe especially outdoors with water involved.
this is so wrong….
All that work for something that will always look like a wet block of cement.
My aunt had a pretty big marble fountain that got stolen last year, piece by piece.
If I put that fountain in my back yard it would devalue my home. It’s that ugly.
He was being extra af…. like he was building a space ship 😂😂😂😂
I’ve been looking for a solar pump, Where is the solar pump from?
that’s the ugliest fountain I have ever seen, serenity now! serenity now!
"Wack it" like it when you hear it
where do I get the pump and solar panel. any links to it?
An ugly fountain
He’s such a gentleman lol
Says "take" a lot, but never says what should be taken? I don’t get it. In any case, enjoy the program/videos.
I didn’t know there were solar-powered fountains. Great idea! There was no way to hide the electrical cord from a traditional fountain for me. Thanks!
Would of been nice to see it working .I guess ill never know the power of the sun
"No humps! Supa!"
I’m gonna take and post a comment. I’m gonna take and use the keyboard to type it out.
