COST of LARGE Septic System DIY | Did We Save $$$ 

Permits: Local mafia bribes. If you get nothing tangible in return for your money, it's simple extortion, fraud, theft or bribery.

This was my first video of your guys that I have watched... It was great! You two seem great for one another! I look forward to your other videos!

It may have cost $8500 but it is a million-dollar septic system. 😍😍😍Congratulations on a job well done.

Nice job! I’m doing a 2-3 55 gallon illegal septic YAY

It cost a lot but you have a working toilet now and you have water.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😉👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕❤❤❤😊😊😊

$8,500 no bad!! Job well done!! Kids are adorable as always. Can’t wait to see your next project!!

Perseverance. Muscles. Blisters. It all builds character. You all won! Congratulations.

That’s a lot of work! No contractor could afford to do that job for 11K

You guys did awesome! Besides the actual real money you saved, you also have to remember the tremendous value of knowing what you have. Not to mention the value of the DIY skills learned that can be applied to both maintenance, and other projects down the road. GOOD JOB!

Can't wait to see you get started on your new home, regards from Calgary Canada

Thanks for the update.

enjoyed every minute of your build and I hope the next phase goes well.

Can’t wait for the next projects. 😊

I’ve enjoyed every video! I’m living vicariously through you doing what I’d love to do (if I were 20 years younger)! Thank you, as always, for sharing your adventures and your family with all of us! Looking forward to the next project! ❤

y'all will always look back on this project with pride. i am getting ready to do the same thing in the ozarks , hope i dont have the boulders yall had

I spent the last 2 weeks watching all of your videos. I've been a subscriber for several months and decided to watch everything you've posted. I must say your entire family is fantastic! Love your channel and continue to wish your joy and continued success.

I was very glad, to see this project successfully finished ! It was a little stressful just watching you guys. That was a lot of work. And I give you a great deal of respect for accomplishing it ! All of your kids, did so much to help…You have a Great Family !!

Hey good morning you guys hope you guys are having a good time hey I'm glad you got that part done now you guys got a bathroom now you need to build a house 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏡 have a good day😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Perseverance to an art form! What a fight to get that last trench dug. Flush on!

Behind every great man is a greater woman, be thankful every day with a grateful heart for your wife

Congratulations on the completion of the septic

It’s your personalities and perseverance that really make these videos. Congrats on the amazingly hard work involved and the spirit it takes to tackle these projects. Still so impressed with your solar build!

$8,500 is an excellent price given the rock issues you ran into. Excellent job. The knowledge that it was done right is invaluable. Thanks for sharing the details.

You did an AWESOME job and WOW alot of dang Boulder! Always Love watching you guy's! Love your family! God Bless y'all!

Happy that you're done.

I’m glad that you finish. Thanks for inspiring us to work with the family. Your kids are a blessing for me. God bless you and your family.

To be precise, you STILL have to tie the main house into the septic system, but obviously, that is pretty much negligible in terms of materials cost and the labor will be part of the foundation prep in any case. Now that I know the cost per yard on the gravel, I concede that buying a jaw crusher isn't necessarily the best purchase, especially since you'll be able to haul your own gravel from here on out. I'm sincerely hoping that Jacob has a set of rough drawings/plans showing all the components of the septic system for the eventual repairs/maintenance.

Just watched this video, thanks for all the updates. Your boulders look like lava, ours here in new england are more rounded. If you watch Lumnah acres, in N.H. you will see BIG boulders, they put in their own septic system .

Thanks for all the info. You are getting it done. That is what counts. See you on your next visit to us.

I am happy for all of you! Have a wonderful 4th of July holiday.

Informative video. Well done guys:)

Thanks for the cost info. Your work...priceless. You did the work, no short cuts, hope it will last a long time.

Another great experience down! Congrats and enjoy that toilet!!

Thanks for the video! I really appreciate your channel, you're a nice family and I learn a lot. Congratulations friends!

You cant count the welder cause that was a mothers day gift, Hee Hee!

Thanks for the breakdown on your septic system!

Great job guys! So happy for you that it’s done! I look forward to the next project!

Great time. What a project. Great determination. What an accomplishment. Love the takes at the end....the kids are awesome....even the big one named Jacob 😅

It all adds up thanks for breaking it down. What’s next?

I think you all did a amazing job keep it going can’t wait to start watching the house build

That’s a great price y’all! Great job

That was a great video and showing the process.

So glad I found your video! I am going to be doing the same thing here in a couple months.

Bless your soul .. U all did an amazing job!

LOVED WATCHING U AND YOUR FAMILY LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE SHOWS U HAVE A GREAT FAMILY GOD BLESS

Great Job Guys- glad to see that you both are open to learning and doing these projects. Good Luck

Great recap! Congratulations.

Interesting presentation! I have a septic tank and of course I know where it's located, but I have no idea how far the leach lines extend.

Videos like this are so helpful

Nice job. It looks like your bucket is invisible just like mine and just as hard :)

Appreciate all the details.

Weld metal fence posts together for probe and poke

Is this Arizona? It’s gotta be Arizona. I swear there isn’t any dirt in Arizona. It’s all rock.

Here is a tip for if the backo is your own weld the teeth on they will last many years without problems you have the equipment to DIY it.

Awesome job!! ♥️👍🏼♥️😁

👍👍👍

So when do you think you'll start the house build? And when the house is done there's gotta be a BIG family celebration!!! 🎉🎆 😁👍

👍

Oops forgot to proofread ( not bad)

Just a thought, hind sight is 20/20, why not just dig a spot further down and roll the big rocks into the holes so you don't have to remove them?

You gotta figure the whole total system with electrical and everything probably cost you around 9005. Is what I'm saying because I was kind of watching close? You got. Around? Ten thousand dollars total and everything

This is the first time I'm watching your channel did you have to buy a generator along with that welder,

$12k for basic $25k for the now-required pressurized systems

Great video with so much helpful information!!! How long did the project take from the day you first broke ground after perc tests?

How many weeks/months do you think it took? It's hard for us to tell watching your videos. Good job guys!! 👏

👍👍

You have to factor in the hours on the backhoe. Just because you own it, it isnt free. Also have to pay your labor hours. You did it for the same cost as your lower priced installer pretty much.

❤😊❤😊❤😊

Huh. Here in rural colorado mountains a new septic by professionals is $60-80k. Diy will be around $10k-20k.

All that just to go potty ! How come Natalie didn't just want an outhouse ?

Can you start excavating the tank hole after the perc test or do you have to wait for the permit?

Where were you able to purchase the cement septic tank please????

Did you consider an aerobic system? Lots less work.

Do you need city permit and health authorities permission in bc Canada 🇨🇦

🎂😍

Where did you purchase the cement tank from?

You had to pay 'WHAT' for some overpaid bureaucratic hack to sign a piece of paper giving you 'permission' to dig your own hole in your own property, so you didn't have to go outside to pee, [$300.00] WTF ???????????

What state is this place?
