WE'VE GOT WATER!!! (I may have cried a little...) 

Dog Proved All The Hard Work, Paid Off. You Should Be Proud Of Your Work. No Half Ass Job, A Plan You Followed. Well Done. Life By The Drop!Water Is Life. Tires Earth Walls Great Idea.

Well done ... 👍🙏👏👏 ...... Earthship is s great idea, kids will love helping you fill Tyres with dirt. Go for it... 👍🤠

Getting water is awesome,it means one step closer to life in freedomdom. It is slowly becoming more like a real home. So happy for your family and the progrees of owning your own family homestead.

Your expression of your faith ("... go somewhere to get a little help from a higher power.") is not only touching, but personally VERY welcome, and greatly appreciated. I wish more people had this same faith. Thank you very much for being willing to express that faith ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE.

There is something internal that I can't put my finger on that is so satisfying about hearing a doggie lap up good fresh water!

That wasn’t low T you were feeling that was the feeling of Assurance.... you have provided the most valuable resource for your family and you now know the wont do with out. Good job keep working hard its been nice watching you accomplish your dreams

That smile on your face while watching your dog drink that water, man. That smile tells a story. A long, harrowing, battle that was ultimately won. You're awesome man, thanks for these videos.

You have worked hard, you are so blessed, the water smelled beautiful from here. The lord loves hard working ppl.

Woo hoo... So exciting to get water. one step closer to moving in. Thanks for sharing

Wow! A moment to remember!

That opening scene says it all. The satisfaction of giving your thirsty dog fresh water from YOUR OWN WATER SOURCE - all that determination and hard work has finally paid off. HURRAY!!!!!!! I'm very happy for you :-) :-) :-)

Wow, it doesn't get more fundamental than that - pumping water for Ruger and seeing you smile makes my day. CONGRATULATIONS and have fun sailing through the rest of your projects! (formerly Susie Q -had to change my profile due to trolls accusing me of being "Qanon")

So pleased everything is working out for you all.

Dude, I love watching your homestead vids. So gratifying. The homestead on a hillside thing is the ticket. Gravity fed water that's filled by a solar powered pump -- ideal solution. Endless water for free (okay - except the materials and the TON of work to get it built, but that's "a good price to pay.") A couple extra pumps, a replacement solar panel or two, some extra pex/poly pipe -- you're good to go for generations. The permaculture things you can do with sculpting the land for water to flow down your hill, from holding pond to garden, through swales and orchards, to the paddocks, the birds, to rice paddies with ducks (research that) to a fish pond and the house -- with fire suppression and all the other good stuff -- it's amazing. You can turn that hillside into a garden of Eden over time. Best part -- you've built in the water -- now you can just add to the plan each year. Try to plan in your long-term permaculture design now, so even if you don't do big parts of it for years, your know where things will go. And keep that charcoal from your burn piles -- amazing soil ammendment, as I'm sure you know -- loads you can do with biochar. You're living a dream I've had for years. I'm sure there are plenty of days where you curse that hill, but the ability to have water flow down through your Eden -- and that view -- I'd kill for a property like that. Can't do many of those things on my flat place, but we'll get our hillbilly retreat one fine day. Love your progress and really appreciate you sharing the technical details and evolution of your thought process -- super helpful for guys like me who will also tackle this one day -- keep it up! :-)

"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does." ― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Simply amazing.

You are so correct about water. Go without it for a few days and see what happens. You are a true conservationist. That attitude is the only way we will save this beautiful planet our creator gifted to us. I hope what you are promoting catches on. Takes a lot of courage to do what you have and are doing.

Great day, having running water. Greetings.

Congratulations! Don't apologize for shedding a few tears, you've earned them.

Awesome to see that you have water, Congratulation Heath. You have worked so hard and put in countless hours into building your family home and with the love and support of Cedar and the children. Heath you are some man, great video as always. We are with you all the way and your subs love you :) :)

don't feel down young man you are doing a wonderful job remember the old saying, ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY. you are a dam hard-working guy well done.

Amazing accomplishment, check it off!!! Incredible vision realized. Cheers to you! You are amazing! It's ok to shed a few tears of joy and relief, you worked for them!!!

Man i am so glad to see this video. All of us that follow your channel appreciate your hard work in making your homestead and making these videos. We rejoice with you every step of the way!

This man is amazing. He puts in all that effort, all that blood and sweat. Struggle and challenges. Then his first bit of water goes to his dog. Selfless on a different level that most can comprehend.

Wow, what a moment! You worked so hard for that water! I am so excited for you and your family! Solar coming together!!! Almost there! God has been with you all along!

What an inspiration you are sir...this world needs more folks with your dedication and drive, God Bless!

Sometimes a deep breath at the end of the day is better than a cold beer.

That is some beautiful looking water. Cheers!

Fantastic water at last amazing video xxx

Congratulations on a job well done Earthship pumphouse and cold cellar novel idea but an excellent one Tell Cedar to bring old clothes and alot of energy U will endure i'm sure of it All the best in you continuing endeavours This has been a majour accomplishment not much wonder you were emotional

Awesome that you have the water you need. Having all the tires would be an awesome way to go. Even having your children help you would go faster. You have awesome ideas and follow through with them. Love watching all your videos.

I knew you'd get water! I could tell the higher power was on your side :-) And that is what I love to see! You work so hard! Your videos are my favorite to watch!

Yay!!! Water is LIFE. I have to tell you this: I posted this comment long before I had viewed the video entirely. Life is good. :)

Tires are the absolute best idea for durability and insulation! Good Luck and WOW You are Blessed!

Brilliant job....WELL DONE !!

a real man shows emotion brother,and you are a real man.love ya vids mate.

I bet you have shifted a load from your shoulders with getting your water project done and dusted. Well done

We ran our cistern dry last night hard to live without water just for a few hours :) Water is life.

I believe God blesses those who work hard to provide for their family. Jewels in your crown!

I share your passion. It really is hard work but worth every bit in gained knowledge and appreciation. Your first source is thru prayer .keep up the great work my friend.

You have put so much thought and hard work into your place I don't think your testosterone is off. I'm thinking your at a point where you can see the proverbial end to the main build. To shed a few tears after all that is nothing to be ashamed of. We are our own biggest critics and our biggest supporters as well. I as one man to another am truly amazed at what you've accomplished!! The hard work and knowledge is outstanding!! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and your videos of this awesome job!!!

Well done on getting the water running, after the work you put in to the project you should be very proud of yourself.

wow you are an inspiration a real hero for freedom and self reliance and i admire you and respect your dedication to your home and family cheers mate

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos Sir! You are an inspiration and your hard work & determination should be celebrated! Thank God for Men like you.

Love those heavy-duty hydrants and I notice the handles are drilled so they can be locked down if desired. Beautiful property - very fortunate man

You should feel very proud of what you have achieved, a few tears is understandable.

Only thing about tires, when they are stacked around, they attract snakes. I know you're putting dirt over them, but just something to look at. Congrats on the water, and everything else you've accomplished!!

I worked with kids at a primitive skills outdoor program in Utah. I can relate to the desperate feeling when your water source doesn’t work out after a long day hiking. One of the great joys of my home state of Minnesota is the incredible amount of clear, clean surface water in our state. I never took it for granted after 2 years in Utah.

Water means everything is possible and the Ranch will be habitual. Recpect to you for all the hard work you've done to get this far.

When Noah built his Ark he would of loved your help. Good job and hard work is well done. ☺

Tires are a great idea, have a root cellar made quite a while back bout fifty years or so and it has served us well, its in the side of the hill so it stays constant temp at 45 degrees...you and your family are in my prayers, you are doing a great thing for your family and I am always looking forward to your updates, thank you for showing us and allowing us into your life. peace

Nice to see that you’re a man who can build a house like a traditional man and also strong enough to cry and admit it. You are a true man. Real men have no fear of weakness 😊 you are doing an amazing job

Well done finally you achieved what you needed.

I am so proud of everything you have accomplished, Heath. And now you have water, the very thing you have to have to live.

congratulation for well job done. how great is our creator to give us the earth ship to live on, prosper through hard, rewarding work. Keep your Anasazi wolderness story coming i love it.

God has blessed you for all of your hard work. You are doing a great job and better than that you are doing it right and with good work ethic

Awesome!! Super congratulations!

One of the biggest benefits of having a pond where you are is having a source of fire suppression. I hope you get a chance to build one.

Use pre cast concrete retaining wall blocks (big ones 2x4 ft). They are not cheap but will last forever and if you paint them with black sealer they will retain enough heat to keep things from freezing. You can also add a large window on the south side so that when the sun angle is low it will shine on the tank to help keep it from freezing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! HARD WORK HAS ITS OWN REWARD

Congratulations!! Being from the Philippines I really appreciate WATER IS LIFE!!

So happy for you and your family!

Yay congratulations!!! So close to be ready to move in .

I am new to this channel and I know this is an old video I'm trying to watch and listen to all your video's. so far all I can say is amazing, I know what an earth ship is I would have loved to have built one in my younger days. I want to skip a head to see what you did but I think I'm going to wait... Water is life !

Congrats on another project success.

you tearing up made me tear up. what an amazing day and amazing accomplishment.

I'm happy with you. You are unstoppable. Keep that way. Greets from Poland

Well done. Thanks for sharing

A man that full of knowledge 👍

I am so happy for you congratulations on a great job

Great accomplishment, your doing an amazing job.

i love your videos i love your character i love the things you do i love all your hard work God bless you

Congratulations! Way to go!!!

The tire "earth-ship" idea sounds awesome, and quite eco-friendly. Using them instead of them going into a landfill is smart and ecologically much better. The breakdown time for tires being well past your great-great-grandchildren's lifetimes had me rooting in that direction. If course, you'll have to make the decision based on what's best for your family right now as well. Can't be replacing tanks and fittings because of freeze damage.

Earth Ship for the win! Take that time and call it learning and connecting with the family. Time spent working on something is always worth more than spending money on something easy, and after you are done, you will look back and say that was hard but easy, as it calmed the brain and built a bond of one more things that you will never say "I wish I did that". Amazing video!

Good job. Happy for you.

Strawbale shed for the water tank - that will provide both insulation & structure.... Maybe a combination of earthship & strawbales. Stack strawbales, drive rebar through them to anchor them, then plaster with adobe. You can put some beams over the top of the structure to hold some metal roofing... Quick & cheap with huge insulation value.

Great job Red 👍!

I can't give it enough likes .. bless you

Awesome accomplishment!!

Congratulations, fantastic milestones happen only a few times in a lifetime. You will remember this one.

I knew you could do it... well friking done... best way insulating with mass.. would have been nice to be able to burry your tank, but we do whatever we can justify at the time 👍👍👍

Blessing brother may u flurish wish happieness in ur new place

Congrats my friend. You are living my dream and I wish you all the best success in your journey

Congrats on a finished project that’s been a long time coming. Thank you for all the time spent on making & sharing these videos, I’m looking forward to the next one.

That's AWESOME!!

Congrats on completing a very big step

I c the trees are already changing. Nice job on that good for you

Congrats. Always impressed by your determination and ingenuity

Well done good job.

I want to personally thank you for sharing... Hadn't given any thought on how to develope a spring... But watching you...I've got it now...

Great job, also a possible suggestion. We always put large rocks or cinder blocks underneath the spouts so we never got mud splashes when we filled our watering buckets

YeeH2O !!!!! Congrats - that is huge. Wish my well house had been covered with dirt. Even in this milder climate I have 2 heat lamps keeping the tank from freezing. God Speed!

I know the feeling! We are trying to get an old hand dug well to where we can use it. We are not off grid, but we still need to get the well going to where it is usable. Thankfully, someone gave me the name of a "well seasoned" plumber who has the years of local experience we needed for our situation.

Finally !!! You have your water , well done ! Again of all the channels i watch , you sir are the Hardest Worker of them all !!! Your family is very lucky to have you !!!

So glad everything is coming along so nicely. I love how you are telling your own story/journey.

Congratulations on the water. Hearing you talk about using railroad ties for a root cellar brings back many memories. My grandpa built his into the side of the hill out of them. We hated going in there when we were kids, as it was so spooky and filled with cobwebs. But as I grew older I realized just how important it was and wish I had one just like it. Thanks for sparking up old times.

Big step forward in your build process, you can be rightly proud of your accuplishment, so happy for you all, I love the idea of earthship shed, but as you say lots of work. good luck with the next phase of building your dream homestead,

Heath this is a HUGE accomplishment! The water source is VITAL to survival. You've done a fantastic job! You have much to be proud of!

Well done...[play on words] and another good video. I hope it never runs dry. 2500 gallons of water out of your well will be a good test to see how it recovers. The initial fill up may be the most you pump at any one time. I'm glad you have got it done. Now to the addition...
