Today I'm building the Pump House for my Rainwater Harvesting System. In the video I'll show my framing process, sheeting and trim work, protection for the inlet piping, electrical layout and a little bit of this that and the other! And on the next video I'm going to build a DIY door and add an interesting little combination locking mechanism. Stay tuned!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

That is going to be a great addition and enhancement to the homestead. Economic!

Joe - you are absolutely the most skilled, dedicated and resourceful You-Tuber I have the pleasure of viewing on the Tube! Thanks for sharing your projects with us. I sincerely look forward to every video that you post. Please take care and be safe. Best regards, Lloyd C. in Houston

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you Lloyd! But I gotta say I feel pretty basic compared to some of the stuff that other folks put out. But maybe on the resourceful side, I’ll take it😂🙏. Always appreciate you watching and thank you for the kind words!!!!!

Liked the video of the squawl passing through. I could almost feel the cooling air being drawn down.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Yes, that is one of my favorite parts of monsoon season. The changes can be quite drastic…. It went from hot and muggy to cool and refreshing in about an hour.

Always better than before, always more efficient. Upgrades don't mean we didn't do a good job or decent job the first time or two, but that we are always improving. This is an upgrade that you will be satisfied with for a long time, I'm sure.

Red door would be great! Nice pump house, i am thinking of building something similar for a solar power house.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Well I do have some red paint on hand from a couple recent horse props I made for my daughter…haha. But I don’t think I’d do full red though. But I definitely was to do something kinda interesting🧐😂

@jhosk Год назад

Quality installation. As an electrician, THANK YOU for the outlet for the light, that one add-on saves more of our lives than you can imagine!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you! That’s how I did it for my shipping container shop.l and in my garage. I figure it’s easier to replace the shop light with plug in types….so no hardwiring needed😊🙏

@OnRappel Год назад

How so?

@avisitorhere Год назад

Important step that you didn't video... step #1, measure the width of your tank. step #2 make your door wider than that width. Start with those two steps and the rest works itself out.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Yep, that IS an important step😂👍

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thanks! And I’m glad this is aligning with your project too……kind of adds some relevance since you’re all dialed into this subject right now. I’m still working on figuring what system I’m going to use…. Or piecing one together.

@dangoras9152 Год назад

Yeah gotta have the rain water cleaner so it doesn't mess up the pump or our tankless heater...

Joe, you never disappoint with your project builds. I especially like the diamond plate aluminum box...😊

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you Manny! Glad you liked it…. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for that and then I saw those scraps sitting around that were close to the sizes I’d need. A little bit of cutting and some rivets later I had a nice durable box to protect them.

@tomtruesdale6901 Год назад

For your ventilation system, how about a screen covered vent just above the floor at the rear and a "aire hawk" type vent on the roof or front wall. Leave the metal like it is, gives it a "been here for years look".

@wdwtx2.0 Год назад

Have you thought about adding solar electric for you home?

@homesteadonomics Год назад

I have an would like to eventually. But I don’t have the income to pay for something like that right now. Unfortunately the ‘gov rebates’ don’t apply the same in my area. Aka…they don’t like us ‘rural folks’😂 Also, the programs with companies that do grid tied systems where you lease and layback the system are usually riddle with clauses and oThe things I find troublesome. But when I do, I will most likely opt for a fully off grid, battery style setup😊

@lorettamcgee969 Год назад

WOW! Is this live? I'm listening and there's lightning & thunder,lol. I need to build a pump house for my cistern. Sure glad you go through all the steps! Like the music, also!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Haha….nope, but the weather is very similar to that clip. Love this time of year! Also, glad you liked the change of music😊🙏

@gregrobertson9957 Год назад

Do you have a material list for your pump setup and maybe pump house? Especially you collection to pump and out to storage/distribution? Ty.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

No, sorry. I don’t have anything specific listed out. But if you watch those videos you should be able to identify all the components of the pump setup, rainwater layout (in the home system tour video), and some do my QA videos on rainwater. But since you mention it. I probably ought to do some more updated stuff on these topics😊🙏

@NelloCambelli Год назад

Just want you to know your influence. Rayobi has replaced my Makita Tools which my son sold when he believed that I would not be up & around nearly 3 years ago - boy did I fool the Doctors & my recovery team. You entertained me during recovery.

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589 Год назад

Funny you mentioned solar: is there a reason you don't power your house with solar? I've always wondered.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

The super short and quick answer is money. I don’t have the funds to do it. And my area there aren’t enough rebate funds to make it worthwhile. Most are reserved for municipal areas…..they don’t cater to us ‘rural rednecks’ 🤪. Not to mention there are always strings attached with you deal with gov programs. Also, I have looked into a few of the ‘solar city’ type outfits that do ‘grid tied’ systems. But aside from the lack of rebates I have found the contractual obligations to be troublesome. But I would definitely LIKE to do it. Just a matter of funds. And when I am able, my ideal would be to be fully off grid, with batteries. As I wouldn’t be interested in grid tied. Anyways, hope that made sense…at least a little bit🤪

@catgynt9148 Год назад

Thank you Joe... another great video documenting you infrastructure. Do you have to worry about extended freezing temperatures during winter season.? A suggestion, perhaps a typed sheet of directions on how the pump system works and suggestions on steps to troubleshoot problems for times when you are working and unavailable. Also, consider adding a GFI-C outlet as an added layer of protection. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle rains, seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you. Yes we do have some periods of extended freezing….,but it’s usually only a few days at most. I think the hardest freeze I’ve ever had in ‘this’ area of arizona was into the teens at night and up to the low twenties in the day. Last for 3 days or so before getting to more mild temps. However, I have been in the single digits for about a week during an elk hunt in northern arizona though. Cold for this desert transplant🥶 I do like your advice on the instruction a lot! And my blessings to you and your family as well!

For the receptacle that the pump plugs into- would a GFCI be a better option vs a regular receptacle due to a water pump plugged into it?

@thomlindgren6253 Год назад

Great project. I love building things that allow you to pick up a whole wall by yourself. It’s great to see videos where safety is taken seriously. The main point I didn’t see or hear about was the guttering for this building? Thanks again for sharing and love a building that looks like nothing will have an option to make a home in it!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thanks Thom! Yes, if I can make it critter proof structure I’m gonna do it. As for guttering….. yep, it’ll get a little gutter at some point. But it’ll be a bit later as I don’t know where I’d route that water to right now.

@terryrobinson1416 Год назад

Ha. You need a rain roof over your diy camper. To keep it safe and also catch more rain water. You say it doesn't get that cold for insulation, but doesn't insulation help with heat also?

@johnhufnagel Год назад

With regards to insulation, if you have any leftover fiberglass batts, just use that. Insulation is really just more about slowing down the temperature change inside the building anyways. And I love The rustic look with the panels.

@pureblood2020 Год назад

Good job brother. How much did it cost?

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thanks! As for cost…ehhhh I don’t know. You’d have to ask my wife since she pays the bills. Probably $900-$1000 or so.

@DarkstarReborn Год назад

I did not notice you putting any underlayment between the concert and the bottom wood walls. Did you put it or did you forget?

@homesteadonomics Год назад

I did not forget, just chose not to. Sometimes that underpayment can trap moisture between the underpayment and the boards. For a house where it is completely sealed and not likely for water infiltrations….it’s a different matter. But for this simple she’d structure that will undoubtedly get some water when I do things like maintenance and have to drain things….there will be an inclusion of moisture past what would be normal. Not the ‘right’ thing….just my thoughts.
