    That thing about calling it before getting too stressed is a smart move since mistakes and injuries happen a lot faster when stress is in play.

      Very true!! It’s easy to get caught up in the moment

    Although the gas bottle handling was good, when you took the new bottle back there is a moment where you see Wez walking on water which I find massively impressive. :)

    Don't adjust the pump pressure or you will just create other problems. Just fit an isolation valve on to the pipe for that tap and adjust that for the pressure you want. You should have isolation valves on all your taps anyway and either side of your pump to make any servicing easier.
    I agree with other comments about flexi pipes going to the pump to reduce noise and it takes the stress away from the pump connections.
    Keep the vlogs and the fun coming guys your doing a great job.

    Great vlog well done guys! For next time, if you change the pipework a bit and put flexible hose in you'll stop leaks from vibration and it'll be quieter.... also pop the whole pump into a turkey foil tray base so if it does leak it doesn't make the wood damp.

    Hi Wes and Amy,
    Thanks so much for sharing your journey! We have been enjoying your videos very much. Congratulations on 100 plus episodes. We can help you with the chainsaw. Don't throw away that old chain, it really isn't old. You didn't even need to remove it. You can buy a metal file for a few pounds, to sharpen the chain. The chain has to be on the chainsaw to be able to do it and keep it stable. Maybe Wes can Google how to sharpen it exactly and safely for your model of chain and saw, as you have to file it at a specific angle. My fiance works with chainsaws every day at work here in Canada, and can help you if you have any questions about them. He is enjoying Brutus on the show ;-)
    To avoid blunting the blade prematurely, you should not saw logs that are muddy or have grit or dirt on them as the grit dulls the blade very quickly. The best way to avoid that is making sure you are not chain-sawing anything that is directly laying on the ground and not to dragging your logs or branches through the mud. And you were right to do something about the dullness, as a dull blade makes a chainsaw more dangerous as you end up pushing and using more force.
    Hope that helps! 💕
    Claire & Richard

    I plan to have a boat on the canal one day, I'm going for a wide beam though, so if my water pump ever fails I'll pay you guys to fit another OK.
