Welcome to DIY for homeowners. We're Mother Daughter Projects. I'm Steph.
I'm Vicki, and today is a really special day. We are celebrating because in the
next few minutes we're going to hit a million views on our PVC privacy screen
video. And you know what, I couldn't be more excited!
We have balloons to celebrate. We were at Target the other day and I saw this.
This is a Bunch O Balloons party balloons. So we are familiar with a Bunch O Balloons
that you can use for water balloons. Where it blows up a bunch of water
balloons and self seals them really quick. But I saw these and I was like
"mom we got try those" and what I got really excited about was on the
packaging it says they can be blown up with an air compressor and you know what?
We have an overly large compressor. We couldn't find, really any, information on
how to do this so we are going try it right now. We're going to use a compressor or a
Ryobi inflator. We're going to see if you can do it without having to buy the
machine. Yes, so again this is the machine and it comes with balloons but we're
going try to use just the balloon. So this is just a refill pack. It says you
can use an air compressor. First, we're going try to do that. So I'm going to put
this aside. We're actually going to try this, later on, to just see how it works. Yes,
we're going to see if you can just do it with this. Alright, so let's go ahead and
open this up-- the Bunch O Balloons and let's see what's inside.
Alright. And these come in lots of different colors. Oh yeah, lots of different colors.
We didn't see purple but we do have Mother Daughter Projects blue. We got blue.
Alright, so looks like it comes with three strands of these and it comes with
this adaptor here. Alright so you...for the compressor it
shows that you want to connect this to here and we'll just attach that there.
And then it just shows you connect it to your air compressor. So we set
this to 90 psi. It doesn't say what to set it to but it's about 90 psi. So you
want to try it out? I will try. Okay yeah. It does say that you shouldn't have it go
for more than 40 seconds. So we will set the timer, the clock, to 40 seconds. So
here is one mom. You go ahead and try that and we'll see. And you notice that they...
they have.. they have their own ribbon so you don't
have to tie and you don't have to add ribbons.
That was really cool. That was so cool. So now let's see if we can use, we have that
Ryobi inflator. So let's see if it works with this. So let's set
the timer for 40 seconds as well. That seemed like that was perfect.
So we can put that one on. Okay so let's try this and see if that works.
Oh, that was really fun. Here you go, put that back on okay.
push that in there.
It's not going to work. Okay so we learned that that doesn't work. Well why don't we
try...why don't we let the... let's finish.
The compressor gets us every time. So obviously with the compressor, if
you're familiar with the compressor, it makes no... it doesn't make noise when the
tank is full but when it needs to refill itself and it will refill whenever it
needs to and that's what makes noise. So when you heard the noise that's
what that was but I probably muted it a little bit for you guys so it wasn't
too loud. So right here, this is the he inflator part so we
can pull this apart, we can pull these balloons apart. So you just kind of pull
it like that. You take this thing off and you just pull it. And you have an individual balloon. It has a ribbon on it.
And it says you can cut the stick off, cut the stick. So then it has its
little string. How cool is that! Balloons everywhere! So this is just
a cool little string. Alright so now that we know the compressor work. Totally
works. Yeah if you have one of these it totally works. So all you need is you need
a compressor, not one that's big... don't have to get one this big, but it's just what we have.
You need the compressor pipe... the hose, yeah the hose. On ours we have
this is just a little adapter that we got in a kit and then we have these two
little pieces that connect in and this little tip seem to work the best for
attaching to the adapter. So it's
really not a big deal. All of these came... in our little kit, like I said, that we
have for our compressor. So it all fits really nicely and stuck together. Like we
said before there were no instructions on what PSI to use and we use 90 and
that seemed... to be... that seemed to work And 40 seconds looked like a
40 seconds they were totally inflated. Exactly. 90 psi no longer than 40 seconds.
Alright, so this right here this is the pump that you can buy if you don't have
a compressor. You can buy this pump. So let's go ahead and open this.
We're just going to try this so that you'll know how this one works and then
maybe we'll put them head-to-head and see which one blows up faster.
And no longer than 40 seconds on this too?
Uh yeah, it should only take 40 seconds. I don't think we need to set a timer though.
All right, so you just put that in there, rotate to inflate. Oh where do you
rotate it too? I think you because... oh right... one or many or two. Okay, let put in one strand and see.
If you put the whole bunch in you move it to that. Okay all right I don't know how loud
this is going to be. Okay just push the button!
Those are really big balloons. Yeah I think those are bigger than
you're supposed to but they're still together.
Okay we are going to go head to head with 40 seconds.
I think they did the same. I have to say I actually think the
compressor might have been going a little bit faster, like overall, but
obviously they both end, you know, 40 seconds. Yeah, yeah, this little inflator
worked so if you don't have a compressor, this is a great thing to get because you
can also use it for other things. Like I said it includes this little
adapter here you put it right there you stick this on and then you have these
little attachments if you want to... beach balls... beach balls, things.
So it does work for other things and you just rotate this depending on which
thing you want to blow up. Now that is a lot of balloons!
You guys it happened! One million three views. That is a bunch of balloons and that is a bunch of views!
That was worth blowing up those balloons. Yeah oh my gosh. If you're one of the 1
million people that I've seen our PVC pipe privacy screen give us a thumbs up
on this video. We thank you so much. This is so cool. It's all... the video's been out for
seven months and at first, like you know, we got our normal traffic which is
exciting and then it kind of blew up and we were like "whoa how cool" so this is
very this is a big move for us. It's a big milestone for DIY for Homeowners by Mother
Daughter Projects. Yeah, we appreciate you being on the journey with us and we're
we're committed to continuing to make great videos and we actually have a PVC
pipe project in the works right now and att the end of the video we made the first time I
said that I wanted to try something inside the house so look for that
because that's coming out very soon. So I hope you can tell we're very excited.
Thank you so much thanks for joining us. Bye-bye
If you'd like this video you are sure to enjoy this one. This is the one we
were talking about. The one that has a million views. Check it out. And if you
want to see our workshop Wednesday when we hit 10,000 subscribers on YouTube,
which was not too long ago, you can watch this video right here. It's very exciting.
It's very exciting. We like numbers. we don't we don't live
and die by them but we like the milestones. This is exciting... it's
exciting... Alexa says it's time to go. Stop
