I Dug A Shallow Well For The House... (From Start To Finish!) 

The last minute of this video is one of my favorite of all your clips. From the tears of joy welling up as you watch your dog drink to the unrestrained grin as you watch the water stream from your hose....priceless!

The look of satisfaction on your face at providing a bowl of water to your dog says it all. Congrats man.

As a fellow off-grid Homesteader like yourself, I have to say job well done!

Wow! I didn't realize how much work that was. You think the Broken wheel ranch got into the same water stream as you? That Ruger is a handsome dog. You the Man, Heath.

Wish I could give more than one thumbs up! Again, that moment you can give your dog fresh, clean water for the first time... What a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment you must have had!

The smile on your face says it all at the end of this video as you are maning the hose Congratulations Job well done

The sighs while the dog was drinking water you pumped from your own well says it all........love your channel

Man that is such a blessing I know you guys have been working towards this for a while now and I'm so happy that you've been blessed with such a great spot

Hi Heath, so happy all your hard work is paying off.

We need more people like you on this earth. The world would be a much better place. Hard workers are hard to come by these days.

It has been a ride that is for sure. But when some one has vision and focus there is no stopping the inevitable. Glad your doing what you want where you want it is an inspiration to the way life should be lived in my opinion. Great video.

Man, seeing you finally get water almost brought a tear to my eye. Great job!

The well was a blessing, so shallow and great water flow. The rest was the real work! Well done

Thanks again for another great video. Just wait till it's all done. It'll all be because of you and you know everything was done right.

I can't wait to see the video when your family moves in, but we still have more videos to get there. as always Thank you for shearing your journey.

Dude im crazy about this project i never miss a episode i fricking love it.....thank u sir everday i learn alot from u...about one day building my own home...u r very hard working and u r a one man army.....

Always look forward to your posts, Heath. Wonderful to see the water system working so well after all your hard work. Take care of yourself!

Excellent video, always great content....thank you, we enjoy them so much!!

Every time I’m challenged with my own off-grid project I see your videos and I find the motivation to hold my head up high and push in thru. Thank you man.

man, thats awesome story and footage. thank you.

Heath that smile on your face says it all. Hope the health issues are clearing up. Lots of prayers for a long fall season with lots of projects checked off!

You're got to love the smile on your face

Great job!!

I'm so happy to tears for you guys! I know this is older but I'm watching for the first time. Praying it's going awesome! 🙏😎👍💯💦🐳✝️💙❣️🌄💛🧡💜

Awesome & wonderful video!

Man, I got something in my eye!!! That is so beautiful!

I tell you Red you did a fantastic job on the water and you taught me how to do this I will be there soon and I thank you very very much I appreciate your work ethics and share in your journey when all of this amazing work is finished finally YOU will be able to START ANOTHER LIST how about it LOL I guess that MEN like us WORK and TOOLS that's our VACATION well anyway great job and have a beautiful month

Glad to see you so far along, it looks great

I hope you made sure the Hose Clamps had SST, Stainless Steel Screws as you had installed the Non-freezing Curbstops! One Tourist Camp i was in, didn’t know he should source SST Clamps with the Stainless screws and a year later from acidic 😮soil all his connections were leaking! It was devastating, to say the least!

As ever some man for one man. workaholic well done.

Always nice to hear from you, makes my day

Great job on the video and getting water to your homestead. Few more things off the whiteboard and you will be living there for good. Congrats.

What’s left on the whiteboard now? I’ll bet there’s only 100+ things left, or has the list got longer. Brilliant work.

Congratulations!!!

Great job dude👍😁

Good summary, thanks for sharing.

Well done, Heath. Well done.

Amazing work... I did the same on our 6 acre land.. I installed 2 1,500 gallon water tanks... I hired Staten Solar to handle the electrical things... our water pressure comes out good but not strong enough. Good job.

nice and cold water it seems. tthx for sharing

Great Video, Very Happy for U & your family, following your channel for a while I know this was a big issue and it should be. Impressive job bringing water to your property. You have seriously increased your property value, Congratulations on a FANTASTIC JOB‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

Good work!

The smile said it all.😂

CONGRATULATIONS!

well done Heath. you have done your proud

So happy for you omg game changer congratulations

Great progress. I have not been wathing for a while and I'm surprised to see that much being done.

awesome video ! thank u for sharing all this !! I'm doing the same in Uruguay !

Not sure if anyone mentioned this to you or not. I have the same backhoe. If you take off that mechanical thumb you get a lot more bucket curl, even if you put it in stored position you still don't get full bucket curl. I used it for brush and it was great but digging was such a pain I had to take it off, bent the main pin too. When its off and you use the yellow brackets your bucket teeth will be straight up with boom locked. I haven't missed mine since I took it off and the extra bucket curl makes a world of difference for digging, still clearing brush but it takes a bit getting used too. Poor design to be honest, dealership cuts part of the stick to make it work.

Wow you sure have black dirt rich best land for growing

This is awesome! I need to have you come and dig some holes around my place.

Love this project...Ill be doing the same in the near future

Good job boss

That’s awesome

1 1/4" More volume... I dealt with industrial filtration for a large part of my career (both chemical and clarity {as in NTU's etc.} ) If I can help let me know, I was a "Mud Engineer" for NL Baroid Inc.[gone now], mergers etc... Then I developed sequential micron rated filtration for large volume well pumping, down to 2 microns absolute at 6 - to - 8, bbls (42gal. oilfield barrels per minute) ((also Manager of Sales and Engineering and Senior Engineer)). Just offering... Mike

My grandfather was a mining engineer, a land serveyor and well witcher here in mn. Its legit!

That Truck is lovely

Very helpful I want to do like this in my village in saudi arabia thanks.

God is good. !!! I love this video.. im Subscribing. its amazing what a little hard work can get you. and i would say Water is definately good fruit from all your work.

love u'r videos all the time :)

YOU ARE AMAZING ... BROTHER

love your hard work man, wish had the opportunity to be there

so the well witcher got it wrong! Proof, again, they are not worth the time.

a big win

You are productive!

great

cool thing

nice

This guy has some skills. Are any schools teaching skills like this.

I like this compilation vlog. Has Cedar got to enjoy the water and new hose real? ENJOY Heath

Hey!

It’s late, and it’s been a while. Glad to see your videos, Heath.

congrats! a homestead without water, is not a homestead

New Nick name lol water boy , super job ! Though ....

I didn't catch how you keep it from freezing?

Does the solar pump generate enough pressure to pump all the way up to your holding tank in spite of the back pressure from the weight of the water in the tank above? I'm curious because you only used a single line from the pump all the way to the tank and connected the same to the bottom of the tank. If yes, could you give some details on the pump?

Love what your doing when are u going to finish the in side of the house

as a plummer you prolly know is a lot easier to restrict than to raise flow/ pressure

We've dug our seep, and about to put in the culvert. Did you put a couple feet of gravel at the bottom of your well before setting your first concrete culvert ring?

Funny how you can notice that the hydraulics leak down on the backhoe when you see it in fast motion - I hadn't noticed that before watching the videos in regular speed. In this summary you don't show some of the headaches you had to go through, but that's ok. Thx for the video. How are you coming on the concrete pour?

How did you clean the water to make it potable?

The real mine craft

In the beginning of the video you said the well witcher found 2 good locations, one was 128' deep and one was 12 ' deep. How did he know how deep they were? I know their system easily finds underground water, but didn't know they can find how deep it is ?

Did you get to show Cedar. Mrs ' Red Poppy Ranch " her new water hose yet . thanks Again for the combined video of the other two did guys get new patron people yet

It sure has been an adventure for you to find water, i woulda tried rain collection myself. But a well is more reliable. Using pex could you run a hydroelectric genorator, whats your plans for water purification?

I might have missed it, but where is your filtration system for drinkable water?

Wolla:)

I am so jealous. I suppose it's just the inner me telling me to get off my ass and get busy.

AAA+++Bedford, Texas

How much water will this provide?

That's a lot of work and money to water a dog. Mine just walk down to the creek for a drink!

Did you just make up your own tile sling?
