We are Derek and Michelle. In 2020 we left city life and moved out to the country. Our home is set on 1.5 acres and it needed a lot of work. Since then we have been on a journey of transformation, turning our home into an oasis, with a sustainable garden and room to entertain our family and friends.
We have learned an incredible amount from our successes and even more from our failures. That is our goal to learn, grow, create and hopefully inspire on our way. This is our Bog Life!

I've used both this and the Korky seal. Neither of them lasted as long as the wax seal that was used before them. I even used the Danco one and it lasted for a little while before there was a little leak around the base of the toilet. I installed a wax ring a few weeks back and so far no leaks.
"Better than wax" is garbage. As a plumber, 90 percent of the time I go to a call where the customer is complaining of smell near the toilet , this is the culprit
@@johnrmhowe1 that us what happened to me, about 6 months later. I then installed One and Done toilet Flange kit, it’s also wax free. It works significantly better and is easier to install.
You did wrap the PTFE tape in the direction of the thread👍 People, always wrap PTFE in the direction of tightening up your nuts (😉) to prevent unwinding the tape. Good, clear, straightforward, informative video for novices! Also, thankfully without the usual time wasting waffle of many videos. Nice one👍 Also, when pushing pipe through holes (especially long ones) new pipes sometimes come capped off with a plastic cap, if not, run some sellotape/electricians/masking tape over the hole to close it, to prevent the pipe from picking up cr4p/dirt etc which may cause blockages or flow restrictions in your system. Your 2nd attempt had sawdust all over that blue gunk, so the open pipe end would have some sawdust inside. You DID wipe inside with your finger, but you didn't warn novices of this (so I'm saving you modifying your video).
@@BogLife Sorry, yes you did! 2am here, couldn't sleep. Don't know why I thought you wrapped it the other way round, & yes, you did mention it. I've edited out my error. Surprised you only have 6 likes, you clearly know what you're doing & make your vids to educate, not attention seeking like a lot of the time wasting dross on the web. Hope your audience base grows accordingly.
@@alexmanojlovic768 thank you very much! I figure if I’m struggling or having trouble some else is too. So if I can help save time I will and the videos are fun to make.
The 5852-7F12-J604 pump that H20 Distributors, etc sell is not what anyone wants to use. It is ridiculously loud. The 5851-7E12-J574 model you install here is orders of magnitude quieter, good enough for the application (pumping up from the basement to kitchen,) and half the price. I know because unfortunately I bought and installed both with our new system. Commenting here because the Aquatec website is horrible and support is non-existent.
Instead of the metal bracket, just use the pieces you cut off the sides of the seat at the beginning. One to make elevation blocks on either side of the back, and the and the other, sanded dowd in the center for clearance, to span those blocks. Fasten this bracket high enough on the back so that the bottom edges all line up when stored.
The problem with cattle panels is that if you use it like this racoons, wood chucks and all semi large critters can go right through the hole. I recommend deer fencing the holes are small and th wire strong.
@@ameriicanprepper5813 it’s funny you said woodchucks, we HAD an issue with them, but the beds are so high they didn’t get into anything. Raccoons can climb no matter what, so size won’t matter in the end they’ll get in. You’d have to run the gate strait to the ground and it would have to be the same size as fence.
I really appreciate how much detail you capture with the camera. It's extremely helpful to see the small details of the process, like properly threading the wire and thimbles.
This is a very helpful video. I too have a trailer from TS that needs new lights. It looks like this Kenway light kit it going to do nicely. Thanks for such a clear and straight forward DIY video.
Nice. Not having a trailer I built a 16 foot rack with 2 by 4s to go on my car's roof rack. It enabled me to flat carry the 16 foot cattle panels without anything bending.
@@jmwasp no it is pea gravel, with weed barrier underneath. I still have to weed and pull random tomato plant starting in the gravel, but it works great! If I were to do it again I would use a road gravel and compact it.
Do NOT do this. The pesticides on store bought lemons are bad, mmmkay. Get the lemons from yourtree, a friend or make another ‘cello. Or drink gasoline, I don’t care.
@@MrPatrickRey there are always better ways to talk to people or send messages. This fell short in the politeness category. But anyway… I wash my fruit first and then use it. Second I believe it tastes great and have never had a complaint on flavor. Lastly you mentioned other ‘cellos. Have you tried other recipes and fruits that you’d recommend?
@@MrPatrickRey You sound sour like a lemon. You also sound like you need attention. Maybe a different outlook on life. Your life must suck pretty badly to want to troll the net. But here goes. I will help you out. Ready for it? ATTENTION.. There now. All better? You got attention. Have a nice day.
I was thinking about wide hook and loop straps instead of the brackets. But I do like the kayak handle. Will be incorporating that into my builds. Thanks!
I have an update with a significantly better product. I had the same problem! One ‘ n done toilet seal! I have a video of the product from a couple months ago! I highly recommend it!
I've made some this way. I actually filter the Everclear, through a counter water filter 5 times, prior to adding to the lemons, to smooth it out some. Takes the harsh bite out of the final result and friends like it way more than straight up Everclear.
Its hard to correct iron in SE wisconsin. And if you irrigate with well water it compounds the problem. An eddha chelate is needed for ground application. EDTA CHELATE as shown works for foliar feed very well but in soil is quickly neutralized.
The system was here when we moved in. I did not install it. But as far as I can tell this was a kit. I’m sure the instructions for installing the external tank will be with them. I’m sorry it isn’t more helpful.
