fuck yeah, you guys living ur dream. love it !!!! :)

@DamoLawrie 7 лет назад

Congrats. I've been a bit confused as to what stage you are at because I binge watched your 150+ videos and got muddled. Glad you've gotten this far and you've inspired me to tackle some of these projects when I get my property.

@JohnSmith-ug5ci 7 лет назад

Just a suggestion. Be sure to put some kind of screen or filter on the end of the overflow valve you mentioned as that should be your pressure release valve in both directions. As water goes in it will allow air to escape and as water is removed it will allow air to enter or you will have a vacuum.

@timelmore2 7 лет назад

Thank you for reminding everyone that simple things matter and that easy is not better and that things worth having are worth working for. We need more people teaching these things.

@Hookahitter 7 лет назад

This is the main reason I watch you guys, your a true team and you will be a stronger couple for working together so closely like this. Its hard these days to find a true partner in life so many people never find that person, you two are very lucky to have the relationship you do, hell most couples cant deal with monthly bills let alone building their own home/homestead.

@balancedben 7 лет назад

You guys are a reflection of this quote I think. "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

@andrewzanas9387 7 лет назад

In a perfect world each system should be attacked methodically and sequentially to completion. Coordination can be a big part of it. Hard to do when we start ea project off knowing nothing. End result, many of these "suggestions" come too late. In some cases the kids may get ahead of themselves in one project before they can properly synchronize transitioning between other trades. Have to give these two credit for their stick-to-it-iveness. They are lucky they are both smart enough and forgiving enough to work thru each roadblock they encounter with incredible grace and character. Building is truly an art. One home owner/builder told me he felt like he didn't get a handle on designing and then building his ideal home until he'd completed his fifth house. I don't believe we can fully appreciate just how hard it is until we try doing it ourselves. I was a supplier of construction products and I still marvel at the ability and patience some builders show with their customers and spouses.

@NealNilsen 7 лет назад

YEA!!!! Congrats... here is to a total home run and no leaks...

@sandramapstone5601 7 лет назад

Maybe you should have left the connections exposed while you did the testing to see if there were any leaks. It's a shame to have to dig to find where something is leaking.

@canesrock82 7 лет назад

This is going to be the longest water install series on YT! :) I just left Priest River on Saturday. It was very hot. Early mornings are great. Take advantage of the cool morning temps. If you are unaware, Laclede puts on one hell of a 4th of July celebration. 3 years running on seeing that from elevation.

@themanonthestreet 7 лет назад

Not really sure but shouldn't pipe "dope" be used instead of Teflon tape in this situation (the piping not the poly)? Only asking. Not meant to be smarmy or anything.

@chopfather2730 7 лет назад

use only Teflon on plastic.using pipe dope will cause over tightening.and distort the fitting.because of the lubercation.

@viscash3606 7 лет назад

Teflon should be fine. From what you see on the vid, I just don't think there is enough of it. You have to wrap the threads until the peaks and valleys almost disappear, 15-20 or more layers and a good coating of spray Gal paint on the bare steel threads that remain visible. Full tanks will test it.

@devore1776 7 лет назад

I would add a couple 1 to 1 1/2 inch electrical conduits to that trench before back filling. An electronic fill level indicator lights valve automation phone who knows what can be added easily later with just a few bucks now. make sure and use sweeps not 90's and cap the ends. a 3/4" water pipe would be great to have at the top as well even if you had to put a small draw pump up top. Easy and cheep before back fill

@dane6k6 7 лет назад

You guys are AWESOME! Thanks for bringing us on your journey.

@grieske 7 лет назад

If you have a lot of deburring to do, as shown in this video, try a swivel head deburring tool. It works wonderful on inside edges of plastic pipe and such.

@dysfunctional_vet 7 лет назад

after i returned from iraq, i was extremely sick and on chelation meds for the wmd that are not there but killed so many. i built a cabin over the course of a year, nothing like what you have, all by hand, and the work just killed me, but i made it happen. I remember when i turned on the power, turned on the water, and cooked my first meal inside on a stove. ya, it is a crowning achievement to say the least

@dysfunctional_vet 7 лет назад

AFIB is a big deal. it has been too long ago that i had a decent course on cardiac drugs (heavy medical back ground in the day), but stay as active as you can. it took my 7 years of a hand full of different drugs for me to get to where i could do anything at all. i'm still on new drugs only 4 now, but i'm able to function to a degree that building my small cabin would not have been the physical strain that it was. although i can not prove a word of this, i believe that the soldiers who were reaching out to me were not lying, i was told most of the 1500 there at FOB Chosin were dead, died of cancers, tumors and all kinds of ills. I developed pulmonary edema due to my inability to metabolize oxygen with a PO2 of 97%. my exposure to the off gassing of the chemicals stored in underground oil tanks was 125 hours basically

@eitcvschislh351 7 лет назад

Grab a little flat head screwdriver and lift the tab on those zip ties to undo them to reuse instead of cutting. After a year of saving them, you will be surprised on how many you have

@snapperl 7 лет назад

All the luck in the world to these two.. I am far from an expert, I just wonder why did they cover up so many of the joints with dirt before they ran water thru the system? It would be kinda hard to see a small leak if its under a foot and a half of dirt. I was kinda worried about that fire hydrant in particular, seems like a lotta joints in that area and every joint has the chance to leak. Regardless, i hope it works out.

@brettseymour9631 7 лет назад

2 of the hardest workers on youtube.

@ZS6JMP 7 лет назад

IMPORTANT!!!!! BEFORE YOU DIG IN THAT HYDRANT, AND ALL THE YARD HYDRANTS, Remember to change those hydrant threads to a male thread on the hydrant, and a female threaded connection at the bottom. Otherwise you wont be able to put PTFE tape on the threads if you remove the hydrant for whatever reason.

@RelentlessHomesteading 7 лет назад

Great Job - - Takes alot of "stick-to-itiveness" to tackle large projects like that. Few in our society today have learned that, ...your videos help show what it is really means. Agree with the "Quit While Your Ahead" - Trying to end the project with 'testing' usually opens up one or more Pandora's box, so you either keep working and working, or go to bed with your head about to spin off!! I've finally learned more to control project flow based on not only physical energy but "emotional" energy - these projects can suck the life out of us like a vampire if we allow them to.

@AsTheWheelsTurn 7 лет назад

that is HUGE progress! looking forward to seeing that water flow because the part I am most excited to watch is the timber framing of your house thats gonna be neat.

@russellraposa2461 7 лет назад

just one potential problem is .if water hammer ever pulls a fitting apart IT WILL EMPTY YOUR CISTERN IN ABOUT A MINUTE. Simple on and off does create water hammer . every time .. THRUST BLOCK EVERY TRANSITION..

@russellraposa2461 7 лет назад

Trees Climbing & Gear slow off valves aren't cheap and are a pain to use in a household application. lack of instant pressure

@laurieb3465 7 лет назад

I don't think water hammer would be an issue in there case. The pulse needs something to bounce back off like a pump. With their head pressure decreasing as they go up the hill and no solid surface for the pulse to bounce off of they should be OK.

@sc1212able 7 лет назад

Russell Raposa , being a gravity fed system shouldn't be a lot of pressure, if they just crack a spicket they well be fine, I designed and built gold course irrigation systems for 40 years, you want to talk about air hammer effect, working pressure of 175 lbs,with 8 inch pipe reduced down to 1 1/2 inches at the heads, thrust blocks everywhere, especially at each head.

@jloughland 7 лет назад

I was wondering about that also , if you guys should or did you make some kind of a little thrust block . Didn't know if it should go down at the base of the hydrant.

@russellraposa2461 7 лет назад

Laurie B . the water is coming down the hill ,not up hill. they are pumping up the hill into the cistern/storage tank ,from a portable tank.then gravity coming back down gives them their house pressure. and water hammer is the pushing and pulling caused by the water moving and stopping .

In the UK the Victorians over engineered stuff and it's still working. They built things that worked for 100 years not 20. Doing just enough could easily mean doing it again. So maybe your descendants may be more thankful that those around you today.

@davidquirk2972 7 лет назад

Great video, thanks fur sharing your journey. Please be careful entering confined spaces, don't assume that the air in there is good. If you can, force ventilate it first and be aware of the early symptoms of CO poisoning. There may also be residual fumes from the tank manufacture. Stay safe.

@SNIPERL0V3 7 лет назад

if you ever need to service the hydrant, you are going to need to dig. untreading the hydrant from its base will loosen the teflon tape and you will need to replace that. atleast thats what im thinking, sorry if im wrong

@zefyrlament 7 лет назад

Doesn't anybody in USA check there connections for leakage before the Cover them in dirt all I mean it's easier to retighten a connection when you don't have to dig for it not trying to be a troll

@trenvan5546 7 лет назад

clearly you do some research... but you miss the basics and do silly things.

@DoRC 7 лет назад

What's the point of the hydrants? Are they literally firm fighting fires?

@terryforsdyke306 7 лет назад

They mentioned in a few previous videos that they are concerned about the risk of fire and want the ability to fight it if required.

@TomBrueggen 7 лет назад

Just curious. Is the fire hydrant a personal preference or is it something the local authority requires? It's a smart move either way, being in a remote forested area. Guess it's something I never thought of, but I'm right in the middle of the East Texas Piney Woods, and we do get the occasional forest fires. I'm rethinking my water grid to allow for fire hydrant(s) in maybe a few locations, perhaps run off of a large water pump from the pond instead of my primary potable water source.

@wearemilesfromnowhere4630 7 лет назад

Now looky here. We're trying to wipe out crack!

@jimcameron3948 7 лет назад

I want to say that what you and your wife have accomplished there is commendable. Lots of hard work both in the research and the labor of installation. But at the risk of sounding like a Safety Troll I think one thing you may have overlooked in your research is the safety risk of having someone (especially your loved one) enter those tanks without proper preparation. Having worked construction for 45+ years and have installed many systems such as yours, I have seen and heard of may situations where people have entered areas such as that )confined spaces) and never made it out alive. And in many cases those that tried to assist ended up in the same predicament. Given those tanks have ben in the ground all winter and more recently in the hot sun there could be a real possibility of oxygen deficiency. Though it is obviously a little late to be mentioning I would have at least had a fan blowing fresh air into the tank with the other end open to vent. Plus I would have had a safety harness on her for a quick extraction without having a need to go in as well.

@scottmacleod5104 7 лет назад

your doing a good job but your doing the hydrants wrong as the connections need to be copper as the the galvanised one will rot plays the hydrants are only frost covered and putting them in caseing will cause them to freeze as there not ment to have any space they are ment not to have any spacing round them

@RevDeaconMichael 7 лет назад

@matignama4093 7 лет назад

congratulations friend

@frednewman2162 7 лет назад

OK, I know that we don't always see what really happens on RU-vid, but I have to say from the couple episodes I have seen your always doing the grunt work (in the ditch shoveling rocks and dirt in to bucket while he operates machine, pulling the 2" pipe through the sleeve while he's lubing and pushing[wink-wink] ) so my real question is! Do you have any sisters as cute as you with that work ethic and do they want to get married?

@MrRain-hk4zi 7 лет назад

Having worked in the water industry I don't think you went "overkill". I'm not sure you can do such a thing. By putting in a little extra like you guys did is like buying insurance to sleep easier at night. I like the fact that you sleeved your poly, extra protection. When you pulled the pipe down the hill did it affect your fittings? I didn't see any concrete being used to thrust against native soil. Do those fittings you use have internal thrusting? I'm not trying to correct or say you did something wrong, I'm just curious how internally those fittings work in that regard. Good job and thanks for sharing.

@Comicsluvr 7 лет назад

Not unique (because I'm sure there are other great couples out there) but you ARE special. Very happy to see your progress and years from now, when your water system is working flawlessly year after year, you'll look back on all of this work and say 'Yeah...so worth it!'

@AdmiralPreparedness 7 лет назад

@whererv1507 7 лет назад

2 dr11 black poly for domestic water. good choice-I hothead and fusion fittings would be better but being a plumber its easy for me. good job-Carry on

@Chris-yo4ks 7 лет назад

AAAACKKKK!!!!!!! NO, NOT A BEE.......that is a yellow jacket......sigh........sorry......beekeeper pet peeve. You will not regret the 2" poly.....if you went smaller, you may see a drop in pressure as the water flows through a smaller pipe.....and with the hydrant, you need the larger size.

@oldtimeengineer26 7 лет назад

I am a little concerned the way you put the water faucets in the 4 inch pipe exposed to the air temp. I think they may freeze. When they are berried in the ground the ground insulates them. So good luck on them not freezing.

@thestuffz 7 лет назад

Just thought of something, What about putting a water level meter thing like they have for RV's?

@DavidDouglasDiamonds 7 лет назад

Wow!! What an amazing day! I'm so excited. You got so much done today. Can't wait to see the water flow.

@theoddestvids5717 7 лет назад

I love watching you guys living the dream. I'm also happy I started watching a while ago before you started on the main construction of the house. I know you have important things to do before the main construction, but I can't wait for you to start. SO START ALREADY! Keep up the good work.

@kennethkustren9381 7 лет назад

just knowing the plumbing work was undertaken in a "crack-free zone" is immensely calming. You both deserve more than you dream for. Your enthusiasm and co-operative efforts might just make ya'll viral. I know I am sick with the green envy virus from subscribing.....TYVM !

@jerrybates5791 7 лет назад

Jesse you've done a masterful job engineering your layout. For those you comments about using teflon tape and not plumbers paste......well, tell them you could have used toothpaste and duck tape. Everyone know duck tape can fix anything. And....for that water hammer thing...shucks....never saw a water hammer a Lowe's or Home Depot so I don't think they exist.

@andrewhamer430 7 лет назад

G'day, I've been following your progress through the last year! All very exciting! I wish I could do the same!As a Plumber, can I offer some friendly advice? If so, Don't bury all the connections untill the system is operational!You need to be able to check all connections for any leaks!Once buried, you won't know if a connection is leaking and wonder where your water is going!Hope this friendly advice helps!Good luck with everything!

@outdoorcountryboyforlife6511 7 лет назад

OVERKILL, Jessie, I have never regretted overkilling any job. A job well done is always worth doing. excellent water system. I'd hire you both to do the plumbing in my house.

@azblondi2730 7 лет назад

For all those who criticize them for their efforts..I double-dog dare you to have a RU-vid page w/ as many videos as they have, same amount of followers and the way "us average folk" watch in aww because we know we couldn't do what they do! On top of that, they are willing to show YOU(US) ALL their flaws and mistakes!

How long will it take to drain the tank of water with the Fire Hydrant ? Will your house have a fire proof roof ? Have one hundred feet of clear, NO brush around the house ! Maybe have water sprinklers around the house and on the roof... Some people have died going into tanks (manhole covers) from Bad Air (CO2)... tjl

@PopPopTerry 7 лет назад

Great job guys, I've been following along from the beginning and I think you all are doing good. It takes time to get the basics up and going. Keep the fun videos coming. And you're right,even after 40 years my wife and I don't always agree on everything but we compromise, then kiss and make up. God bless and keep you safe.

@CarienDuPlooy1 7 лет назад

Excuse my ignorance, but do you put the teflon tape on the screwy bits to prevent future rust or to make a leak free join? Love watching you guys - I learn so much! Thanks! It is ALWAYS a joy :-)

@caroletaylor8675 7 лет назад

Ya'll are doing great. Just FYI you might check out the Ana White you tube site. With her husband they have been working on their timber frame home for a year. Checking their videos might help you as you get closer to starting your house. Second comment - (not that you care) You might but label on the above ground pieces marking what they are. It is clear for you now but in five years labels could be helpful -- for you or your future grandchildren!

@stevelalondejr2183 7 лет назад

3/4'',1'',11/4'',2'' are common water line sizes not 11/2'' and try black poly in the dead of winter !! Slit corrugated plastic tile and cut a hole top and bottom to fit your hydrants crush or cap far end and cap or fold and tape hydrant end use 10' or so for drains and don't set pipes on man made bricks tiles use wood or natural stone or you will create a leak ! T steel fence post will help stabilize your hydrants when you SS hose clamp them fast.

@txhemi_6781 7 лет назад

I’ve only started watching these videos recently. (Probably been watching a lot of videos in such a short time than I’d like to admit.) I’m curious to Jesse’s previous experience before this. I wanna say Alyssa mentioned something along the lines of a contractor, but I’m not for sure.

@user-nobrainer 7 лет назад

Please! Please! Before final installation of each of the plastic fittings please take out each rubber "o" ring inside and rub it with Silicon grease. Then put it back. It will keep them in a good shape many years to come. Didi Hametaher - Water Purification & Engineering

I don't think I'm imagining this, but your videos are getting better and better. At the end of this video, I definitely experienced real emotions about your progress and your endurance in the face of hard work and things not always going as planned. I admire your spirit and sticking to it. I don't understand your piping schematic yet. But, I suppose you will show us a completed diagram of your piping installation when done. That would be very cool. I wish I were there helping you do the hard work. I love the feeling I get when it's done and we can stand back and admire our hard work well done. I am rooting for you guys!!!

Soak up those cool days all you can. I am down in Arizona and it has consistently been over 100 degrees for a while now. We even broke a record for all time high! Love your videos!

You guys rock, just playing catch up on your videos. Several may have already mentioned this, but there is really no reason for a separate 3/4" fill line. You could have just tapped into the 2" at the bottom of the hill with a check valve and let the water fill the cistern by going back up the 2". Speaking as an engineer who has designed two elevated storage tanks over 1 million gallons.

homesteader to homesteader, trade or sell the quad and get a small farm tractor w min 3 PT lift or if you can afford with a loader... it's is the most valuable piece of equipment on my place , much more than my quad, goes over rougher ground ,tows heavier logs and can lift big logs into my sawmill .. everything the quad does, the tractor does better and it's only a 30 HP case ... something to think about...

I have a question. Why didn't you just put the overflow valve on the top of the tank with a check valve. So the tank would burp and you could see the water coming out? The check valve would close after it burped. Keeping bugs and debris out. Unless your overflow valve rolls down hill and you have a check valve there.
