    What I loved MOST about your video was the very visible LIST there so that you know all the ingredients or supplies at once glance. That is so terrific! Thanks for this information. Presently I do not have a water feature but would love one of those , eventually.

    Adding sand to the paint alone was worth the price of my click. Genius. Never seen that before. That’s a great way to get a cement texture. This water feature is so cool!

    I'm thinking for birds a much more shallow water feature like a bird bath would be safer for them. You could put the shallow water feature on the ground or elevated like a standard bird bath.

    If you want this look, that is actually a far better and much cheaper idea. I think it's a shame that such a beautiful tube like the one she used is being painted to look like almost any cheap one you can buy at a garden center. And it's expensive too, there is a lot of material going into that. No problem if you want to preserve the natural beauty of a tub. I'd love to have such a nice weathered one. Depends on someone's taste I guess. But her enthusiasm is contagious. Now I really want one.

    This is beautiful. My only concern would be for the toxic chemicals in the waterproofing & paint. Birds, wild animals, and even a dog or cat might be vulnerable to harm if they decide to take a drink from this fountain. I'd rather use non-toxic materials to protect animals.

    For mosquitoes you can either get some poisons to put in the water, which I am not sure how they will affect wild life, or you can get a few small gold fish. For the size of her pot, 1 or 2 at most and they will eat the larvae. I would assume the pot wouldn't get mildew if it was completely sealed. You could also use a plastic pot, or else use some pond lining instead of the painted membrane.
