I have no interest in living off grid or building a house, but I'm so invested in your story!!. Idk how I came across your videos but you are doing some amazing work and you have such an outstanding work ethic! Can't wait to see it all come together!

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

Thank you for watching!

@Downeastwaves 6 лет назад

Wow! Thanks for showing us the tank manufacturer. That was very interesting to see. The well will be so nice to have!

I always put the ratchet end of tie down straps on the driver's side so I can see them in my mirror better and easily check them at fuel stops, etc.

@Genesis--me8ud 4 года назад

These video is better than a book maybe; each is a chapter itself diy; is “the well” to video #211!? Patience is a virtue...

@avonleanne 6 лет назад

you showed footage of driving up to the front entry road you made to your ranch...all I could think of is WOW, you did all of this (mostly) by yourself!!!! what a joy it is , I would imagine, to drive up to this home, knowing you did this, all of this yourself....pride....I almost got teary for you....i will save the tears for the first vid of you with coffee in hand sitting or standing on your patio watching the sun rise...not ready to work but relaxing and listening to the family awake in your new bit of heaven....=)

Those pellets were in my ex-husband's Nomex every work day. He's an Operator at a polyethylene plant in texas. Cool to see those being used.

This is a great video! I'm doing the same thing on my place, but at a smaller scale. This answered about 80% of my questions. Thanks!

Everything is coming together even quicker now! Great tanks...I wish that I could get me one of those 1500 gallon ones for an emergency backup.

@Hillville-ok8ki 6 лет назад

We're developing a rural property west of you in Washington. Same water problems. We found that a 2000 concrete tank was cheaper than plastic. And, since it can be buried the freezing problem is solved. Plus I don't want another dedicated building to maintain and clutter up the view. Place is looking good.

@MRGREENWORLD1 6 лет назад

As always you have great videos. You inspired myself and several family members for sure to purchase land build and renovate. We started yesterday moving forward with our own plans. Thanks definitely will use some of what I have learned for sure.

Looking good when you do it all yourself it takes time but then it's done right

@mmanut 6 лет назад

Get your water tested. It might need some specific treatment to clear it up. Testing water is cheap, worth doing for your own confidence. Looking good, building an insulated enclosure around your tanks is just what is needed‼️👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

For sure.

@samuelbacon1596 6 лет назад

Red poppy. Thank for the FYI. ABOUT THE TWIST IN THE STRAP. THANK YOU ON THAT ONE!!!!!! LOVE WHAT YOUR DOING. GREAT JOB. KEEP IT UP,,,,,,,,, GLAD TO SEE YOU DIDN'T GET RID OF THE BACKHOE YET.!!!!!!!!!! In your last video You spoke about chemicals. About spraying. Trees and ground. Back in the day late 70s early. 80s. I would spray. My dads fruit trees He made me dress up like I was homeless also would have on a face mask and gloves spraying the trees and then wash out the sprayer. Down stair off with the clothes right up stairs in the shower.. Am glad my dad took good care of me. But then spend. 32 years on the Railroad. First 10 in freight. Service. We moved it all. Places we went in too. Sliding for all kinds of customers walking around where they unloaded cars. Who know. What I was around and no one told us shit. Well take care. safe first.JUNKMANDO

@funkinflugen 6 лет назад

Looking forward to the first video of clear, fresh water...and then the lab results of the water test. A note on drawing your sample: before I put our homestead well into service I took a sample to check on hardness/minerals, pesticides/chemicals, radionuclides, and other aspects as well as for E.coli. I had to record the temp of the sample and then keep it on ICE until I dropped it off at the lab. All I'm saying is find a trustworthy local lab and ask for any special handling requirements of the sample so the results will be a s accurate as possible. Being that you are a plumber, you may already be familiar with everything I said above? I do not have your experience in the industry OR rural water systems, so that aspect was new to me as far as getting my well tested. Great job!

@petergrant9259 6 лет назад

The ranch is really looking great, and I bet you can't wait to get a hot shower... Looks like some companies are helping with the projects... One thousand to go and you got to 50 in a matter of months... my bet by next year this time you will have 200 thousand subscribers. It's must see reality build...

@reynoldsoutdoorlife3215 6 лет назад

Looking good!

@tbirdracefan 6 лет назад

Are you panning on a sand filter? Might help later on if the water going to the storage tank does not clear up over time. Also, the storage tank will allow the water to settle out alot of the sediment. So happy that your water system is finally a reality and should be relatively cheap source of almost limitless water. Thanks for sharing with us.

@getbusylivenordien5394 6 лет назад

THE water will clear up faster if you let it set Putting a pump in will turn up the water keeping setiment turned up. Leve it along and let the setament fall to the bottom Another good thing to do is put a few trout in it. They will eat any bugs and help keep the water kleen but every few years you will have to go fishing and have a fish fry because you don't want them to get to big ;)

@scottfoster2487 6 лет назад

Rent a plate compactor and pack the soil and pour a 4 inch concrete pad and the instal the tanks and build a room a with at least 4 feet on all side to allow easy of inspection and maintences.

@mandbhomestead 6 лет назад

Everything is looking great. Are you going to have 2 tanks on the hill? I saw you bring 2 home. I agree sheltering them from the elements will be better for them longevity of the tank. Thanks for sharing.

@richardperry9095 6 лет назад

Thank you for the videos. I've binge watched your progress on the house. My wife and I built our own house in 2006-07, but it isn't off grid and we didn't have the challenges that you have faced. I'm real interested in your progress on getting water. There is another site that built a ram pump that pumps water without electricity up hill and long distances. You might be able to use that method to get your water up the hill to your storage tank.

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

I'd love to build a ram pump but it's too high up the hill...

@richardperry9095 6 лет назад

I wondered if it might be. One man who built one said he pumped water quite a long way up by putting in a series of rams. I've never done it, so I don't really know. Looks like you have gotten most things figured out. I wondered if your original plans changed for the other house?

@bennyboy97100 6 лет назад

@micahwatson9017 6 лет назад

I love the drive by footage of the ranch toward the end, It's looking awesome! 👍 Is the other tank for Terrell? When you build the well house for the tank, you might consider building it big enough for a second tank.

@kenneth6731 5 лет назад

I wonder if you could use this for a tornado shelter?

@deane9996 6 лет назад

Was wondering, are you going to build tank house into the side of hill to take advantage of geothermal mass, like an old root cellar? Would keep water cool in summer, and cut down on chance of it freezing in winter. Maybe even build out of cinder blocks, or concrete, and insulate exposed portions heavily. Guess you could buy a 12 volt element, hook to solar, for piece of mind, pretty cheap on ebay, for freeze protection, they have floating ones for stock tanks, and you could put a piece of pvc pipe in tank vertically mount floating element to pvc pipe with a larger piece of pvc pipe collar to slide up and down pipe with water level, and have a stop mounted on pipe to keep element from ever touching bottom of tank, and melting a hole in tank. Just some thoughts. Might not even need element if built into hillside, might stay above freezing in tank house.

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

Yes on the well house.

@garylamb7688 5 лет назад

Hi I’m new to this. I live in Illinois. And I am looking at building a container house in the country. We get a lot if rain but the temperatures drop below zero. I guess I am looking for a way to keep the tank warm with out draining the batteries on the solar system? Thanks

@Cryton12345 5 лет назад

Your vids are awesome Red Poppy, I would drink a beer and cook you a steak any time of the day man with you that is, not for you of course, lol Congrats on your projects being done

@TheUserid82 6 лет назад

Was the second tank for Busted Wagon? Did the install directions break down to a 1-3 inch bed of sand so nothing sharp will be able to poke a hole in the base? Would it be worth putting a water coil in a wood stove in the tank building to dump some of the heat to the water and not just the air when you have a fire going?

@jimh712 6 лет назад

Andrew H Maybe if it's dug back into the hillside..and maybe even some buried corrugated pipe..and the housr .made out ofcement block with insulation.. It can tap into the earths tempeture +- 50°

@thomasarussellsr 6 лет назад

So, what is the head-lift rating for your pump? Congrats on your tank acquisition.

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

It's supposed to be plenty high enough. Not sure what the rating is. We'll see soon!

@cjpiper2420 6 лет назад

If a strap would rub a hole in there tank, I would be thinking about maybe I should like somewhere else, I mean a strap really

@raymondmills9377 6 лет назад

If you don’t want the tank to freeze doesn’t it have to be somewhat sunken? Even in a pump house? Just wondering?

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

No. Just insulated.

@joopterwijn 6 лет назад

I thought the idea was putting the storage tank underground? Is it cheaper to build a water building?

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

Probably about the same. I like the idea of having it above ground.

Speaking of industrial chemicals and health, how does one 'filter out' the plastic byproducts from the water stored in these plastic storage containers?

@larryfreeman7979 3 года назад

plastic is inert.

@jimh712 6 лет назад

Did the tank company suggest to set the tank on a bed of sand..

@RedPoppyRanch 6 лет назад

yes they did...

@beachlife1411 6 лет назад

Super nice , so 550 gallon ? Each

@tbirdracefan 6 лет назад

I think one tank is 2500 gallons. I am speculating that the second 2500 gallon tank is for Terrell across the street.

They appear to be similar in size to the tanks I have that are 20,000 liters.

Why not bury the tanks? Seems it would solve a lot of problems in one shot.

These are not buryable tanks but we considered this.

@Freetheworldnow 6 лет назад

Cheap cheap tanks!! Thin walls,no reinforcements...I have doubts about the longitivity they can hold in a harsh environment. Buy strong in the first place, then enjoy your cistern for a very long time. I am still amazed at the complications you are self imposing in regards to your clean water quest. Your determination is off norm to say the least. I do encourage you in all your endeavours and wish you the best of luck with the install! God Bless.

@mauserhouser 6 лет назад

i've used these tanks for years and years. i always pour a pad for them and then build a building around and over them. one to keep the water cool because the sun will heat the water and two to keep the sun off the plastic and make them last longer. i just installed one at our new house and i'm sure it will outlive me. the tanks are around 1K each for the 2500 gallon size you can't do a cistern for that and in rocky soil it would be a bear to dig a hole and then have to have one set in. i built my building 12x12 with a shed roof suitable for solar panels and large enough inside for food storage. if the inside of the building is insulated and sheeted the cold water in the tank will keep the room cool year around and perfect for food and canning storage. not a thing wrong with these tanks. mine is also set up with piping and valving so that i can have water delivered or i can discharge water into my 600 gallon fire trailer or the fire dept. can hook up to it incase of a fire. he's doing the right thing here and it's financially smart.
