How deep was the well? I had to deal with a similar issue when my I bought my old farmhouse 10 years ago. It was about 35' deep and I didn't have a extension ladder sufficient to get down there. I ended up buying a Zoeller (heavy duty pump, similar to a sump) and rigged it up with heavy rope. Dropped it down to the bottom and used a up and down motion (lifting about a foot or so and dropping back in) to pump out a sand/water mix. It won't pump straight sand but if water is in you get a mix. I had 4 brand new trash cans set up to discharge the piping from the sump into (I used pvc), then I would let the sand settle to the bottom. After settling I pumped the water back in and repeated the process. Over the course of 4 or 5 days I removed enough sand to fill 3 of the trash cans and get me from 15 gallon capacity back into the 60-70 gallon range.

Pigs are omnivorous. Eat everything including filth,and meat. So it isn't good for consumption.

Nice presentation

1 st year electrical apprentice here. What state are you in my buddy wants me to do this exact job to his house.

Shop around. I bought bulk feed 1000 lbs between $90- $100. Bulk bag was $15 because I bought 1000 lbs of corn (finish beef) for $100 including bag. Hog cost $60 Feed $100 pasture raised. Wooded area. Processing $250.00 including smoking bacon and ham. Put right at 200 lbs of meat in the freezer. Plus 60 lbs of fat to process.

If you're the *handy* type who is detail-oriented/meticulously pays attention to details, you'd save yourself a boatload by/via DIY.

i think is it far better to raise your own, you know what your eating and what went into them, good video, thank you

The only thing your missing is an O2 sensor.

This was my first time raising feeder pigs. I used a homemade gravity feeder. Your feed bill per bag was high. I found a local community farmers cooperative that had 16% protein feed for $11 per 50 lb bag. This reduced my overall cost considerably. Also there are grain mills that sell bulk feed. The quality of meat you get by raising hogs is better than commercial pork.

How are those orange insulators on your t-posts? I have pigs too and I can’t stand the standard tractor supply insulators, they keep breaking on me.

what size entrance cable is that?

6ft to main breaker NEC code

You will not get a good ground if you separate the ground from the new codes. That's why when you tie everything at the first panel. You get a better ground because the neutral hubs the ground and then anything after that, you separate, maybe put a sub panel in. Next to that 1 or another, one or somewhere in the house.Then you separate the grounds and the neutrals

When you put the ground, you gotta put on a new job bar. Because that's your main panel. The neutral hubs the ground. How do it's work and then you? Separate your grounds after that, if you put a sub panel and you separate the grounds from the neutral. Or else you're reintroduced the neutral back into the ground system

You know where we live at. You're not allowed to have any electrical panels in a wet room or bathroom. We'll make you Tear it out where we live

You have a mouse problem. That’s no good in the well.

Is there a difference in the service line-in equipment? Did the utility company have to put in a 200amp compatible meter?

Thanks for this video! When we got "City" water in 1982, we stopped using our 3' hand-dug well at my parent's house (much to my disappointment). Now they are both gone and I live there now with my family, and we want to restore it, maybe for drinking and certainly for our garden. It's only 21' deep, but never ran dry and gave us a constant supply of cold, clear water. I'm 65, so I will have to hire someone to go down there for me and clear like you did. What did you use to scrub the sides? Once it was cleaned and settled, did you put any bleach or any gravel in the bottom? Thanks!

I use the cap for when my chickens make a mess and pull a bunch of feed out on to the ground. It locks them out so they have to eat all the food off the ground.

Nice

I'm buying an old house with an abandoned well. I'm going to have to do the same thing and make a better cover. Thanks

Nice work brother!! That’s a strong idea for water management. Pool is looking awfully good right now. Pushing almost 100 degrees up here in PA

What angels?

Saving and releasing that bunny, was wild, thanks for sharing!

Looking good

Add copper pipes or scrap inside the tote and no algae.

I'd be worried about air quality. Or CO2 concentrations down there. Hopefully you had a fan to force some air to bottom

Much appreciation from a city boy here , only drank well water in summer at my PAA's farm in N.C. Hydronic HVAC Installations , we also put a magnetic strip or siphon before your spun filter sometimes depending on what equipment we are installing. As you are probably familiar with high iron in well water . I bet you could create one yourself to go on your 3/4 " pvc system. Just another layer of protection/maintenance for ya to mess with. We also put ultra violet on air systems. They have shown high quality air conditioning, so I believe in them . A charcoal treatment is another add on thats good on taste, which I believe you could create also . Enjoyed your post, thanks for sharing.

Are you planning on painting the totes black to prevent algae buildup?

That kid is too cute. I remember my twins, now 19, with every project I did. Well worth the time, Dad. You'll never regret it.

Do you have a link for the uv filter

PDF or anything?

Please , check if there is a chimney to vent the smoke...

Min 2:57 this a fire pit for the barbecue. In my country (Argentina) its call "Parrilla" and we make the barbecue (asado) only with charcoal or very dry and hard wood. And the room where this parrilla is we call it "Quincho" that is an open or closed (attached to the house) space to place the grill to make the barbecue.

Glad you're bett

Or just put a brick in the water bucket

Thank You! I will be doing this project for my girls! 🐔🐔🐔

Great idea! Gonna make some!

Excellent! Just the informatiion I was needing.

So amazing

Like how you said after putting two chicken in “don’t let them out” and both chicken got out

What, Size is your coop?

What did you use for your cover crop? Nice to see aomeone besides me using the metal wayer tanks as brooders!! I strt them in the basement in those at a day old and at 1-2 weeks old I move them to an outside shed then when the size is right I move them to a house with a yard that has a roof over it. We have issues with hawks, racoons, foxes, area dogs & coyotes. So all of our yards foe pouktry are made from 6’ heavy duty chainlink. I wrap 24” tall 1/2” squares hardware cloth/rabbit wire around the inside of all poultry fences and place barn tin under the fences with about 6-8” on the inside and the rest on the outside and weighted down with concrete blocks. I let our chickens free range when I am home after all my indoor stuff is done so I can keep an eye on them. Otherwise they get fruit, veggie & meat scraps that have been diced up along woth the steady feeders & waterers when they stay locked up due to weather or no one being home. We have lost to many burds to different predators. Biggest predator we have had with chicks under 8-12 weeks old ((depending on breed)) has been snakes. Black snakes, king snakes, cooperheads & rattlers have all be caught in the chick shelters and in the hen houses eatin eggs. I hope you never wxpweiwnce the venimous ones in your chicken houses. Their bites have killed many a good layin hen.

Love your Chicken House 🐓 Great video!!

Good to see another video

Well done….

Since last month i hatched 33 chiks from 3 chikens out of 39 egges that makes it 93% of the egges right just lost chik i don't know how so now i have 11 one month old chiks ans 21 others round 9/7 days old 🙏🏻

did the same. started with 20 then added another 20 the meyers meal makers and tsc 6. and adding 100 meat birds in a month or so. only lost 1 jersey gaint. next time check you look hatchery, the more you buy the better price

how has this held up to 2 years of use?

I am a gardener. and my professional opinionis straw carpet with plastic or is it a naturally degradable material. ? Spraying straw on grass is a total waste of money and time for me. You can also just cover the grass seed with a small layer of dirt.
