Pole building Backfill and Installing the Underground Plumbing.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2021
- The concrete contractor have arrived and backed the pole barn. The build site is level and almost ready to pour the concrete floor. But first I need to get our drain lines and water line ran underground. It is time to grab a shovel and to start trenching in our plumbing.

I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my password. I would love any tips you can give me!

@Jett Westley i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jett Westley it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Felipe Santiago you are welcome xD
If government clearing out ditches for road work in the area, you could offer them a dump site for their excavated dirt from the ditches. Saves them where to find dump site and their time hauling back and forth
You should put a drain in the processing room so you can wash the floor down with a hose. Also, a hose facet there and the kennel.
i also suggested a drain in the kennel area and underground elect coming in from a post at the fence line or so
Spring rains are coming. Erosion. Hurry with the side slopes & sod.
That was a lot of work for two people. Rebecca held her end up well. You might think of rewarding her with something nice. She is a fit helper indeed.
Probably to late to be considered, floor drains, extra hose spicket for clean up. After processing meat hose and pressure washing make cleanup much easier.
Evan, when the Good Book talks about a good wife is worth more than a precious gem, you are a very rich and blessed man. Rebecca is one very special jewel.

Just sitting here drinking coffee watching you work lol
Glad you posted in the community section because the video was not in my normal feed area.
Don’t forget to cover the ends of your conduit pipe, so no critters fall in and especially to keep the concrete out when it is getting poured. Excellent video
A conduit for a data line separate from the power as you don't want data to run near power as it induces a current in the low voltage wire making a lot of noise or even enough to damage equipment. At the least you will want an access point in the barn/workshop so you can look things up and be able to watch/listen videos when working and if you setup for live streams from the workshop you want a good wired connection to the computer you are using.
If you are setting up an area for the dogs you will need water all the time so only having access to it from the bathroom isn't a good plan when you can setup a yard hydrant to have water access without needing to fear freezing.
You want that water closet riser to be plumb coming out of the floor. Also you need at least a 3" vent on a plumbing system that exits thru the roof.
This is a fairly easy job and it saves money. Please consider adding a clean out in the bathroom for easier access to the system. Additional buildings on properties are often hard to clear clogs because they are furthest from the tank (long pipes). With that said, adding a clean out on the outside can also help in the future. Most clogs happen in outbuildings because the pipes are not in use and don't have enough water to carry waste to the septic tank. Clean outs are cheap compared to the time and money to pull a toilet just to clean the pipe.
Clean out and stink pipe to vent line. With cleaning meat you need a clean out for clogs
Suggestion: Put duck tape over the top of each pipe opening so the contractor and other will not drop anything in the pipes.
I did the next day.
The new barn is looking good. Might I suggest running a pull rope through the waterline conduit. I think that sharp 90 degree elbow could be hard to push a line through. What about floor drains, one in the meat processing area and one in the shop to drain water if equipment is wet or washed in there.
Should run a tracer wire on top the pipes so you can tell where there as you run them further out. All you will find them with a common metal finder. When I was with a electrical company we did this. Saved a lot of heart ache !!
You are going to need a retaining wall or a hell of a lot more fill. Our neighbor's machine shed was built with just one corner about a foot low and there is still problems with settling a dozen years later. When you are running the actual water line, add yard hydrants along the way. I put three of them in last year and they are invaluable for watering livestock and numerous other things.
Looking good. As you run the water line to the building I would add and outside frost free hydrant. we ended up planting a garden nearby ours and use it for watering the garden or I pull equipment or trailers there to wash down. very handy extra to have. keeps the dirt and water out of the garage.
Hi..... Evan and Rebecca nice to see you both are doing a good job and a hard work, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
RUclips did not show you to watch in our subscriptions. Reset still not there. It was recommended but not with our subscriptions list to watch. Something strange. Love your pole barn. Maine
Yes the video didn't publish correctly, it is not showing on subscription feeds.
Good job. You've earned your 'chill and relax'. Keep bringing the videos. You do a good job.
I just got my drain lines for my shop bathroom connected yesterday. All I have left is installing the fixtures inside
The pole barn is looking good and you and Rebecca have done a great job of getting your part done before the concrete is poured. Have a great day.
Calling that building a barn is definitely an understatement. Great work guys , be very proud .
Very good work, the building is very nice. No comments other than “a good farmer lives poor and dies rich”. I know it takes a lot of time, money and work, but the sweat equities worth it.
Super pole barn . For filling I always lookout for road/ construction jobs in the area that might be hauling unwanted filling away and asked if they needed a hole for it . Nine times out of ten I done them a favour 🤗 . Short haul !!! and pretty much cheap filling for me 😎
What an awesome partner Evan, good looking, intelligent, woman who is not scared of a shovel. I just luvit.
don't skimp on faucet locations, you can wrap in heat tape to prevent freezing of just bleed them dry in winter. that is a nice barn.
Add a floor drain where you are processing food .
Tape up both ends of your conduit....😎
Poor Rebecca had that short handled shove! My back hurt watching her!
You guys knocked it out in one day! One day closer to being finished with you barn project.🐓
What a job! So much digging and tamping. Well done. Thank you for sharing. Good luck w/ remaining work.
😷👍
Nice! I'm at exactly in the same place in my pole barn project. Thanks.
Great vids!!! Everything is so blue and glossy. Glossy blue!!!
My camera was getting repaired, so I used my cell phone. The video setting I used was out of wack.
Your thumbnail was on my home page but not on my subscriptions list! Duh, I should have read your comment first!
Don’t you just love hard work - I could watch it all day. 😊
It is coming along beautifully. That sure is a lot of fill ,but it looks like the crew seems to know what they are doing.
Now that is a lot of work! Great job and great teamwork!
? What about floor drains for the kitchen and the shop?
Wow that is a lot of hard labor right there, you guys are such a great team!
In the red clay dirt of Georgia, it is advisable to put loose hay or straw against the exterior walls to keep the rain from splattering red mud on the walls and staining them. It also reduces the clean up. You might not need to do this where you are. Looking good so far.
Looking good
Makes sure you cover your rough in pipes with caps or duct tape before concrete comes.
Lay a tape on the floor and mark your under floor pipes for future reference. Take pictures of them. Trust me, you may need to know where they are someday. Job looks great.
The barn looks fantastic. Coming from the UK, I just can't believe how quickly you put these things up.
Didn't you forget to run the water line to the "kitchen sink"??
Probably going to run it through the wall
Yes, the hot and cold water will run through the wall
I know you had to pay for the backfill but look at the amount of time and effort it would have been for you good team work you and rebbeca
I have seen water lines freeze at 3 foot deep in central IL.
Good job
Looking nice, those little details are usually what makes a place. Keep up the good work.
Looking great Evan!
Good job y’all looking great
Also...love your channel.
Maybe you mentioned, I was wondering about water into the kitchen sink. Sorry if I missed what you said. You and Rebecca are working a great and steady build on your farm/homestead. Appreciate your sharing your experience. Blessings to you both. Praying for your safety, strength, health and success.☝️🙏🙌👉...
The hot and cold water lines to the kitchen sink will be ran above ground.
Wow, that's a lot of dirt. Those guys did a great job with the back fill and the dirt was clean. I know it was an added expense, but that would've been a lot of work for you and your wife. It was better for you to pay to have it done.
Just a suggestion, you should cover the open ends of your pipes so nothing gets in them during the construction.
Thanks again for your videos.
Looking great!
your line to the septic is not likely to freeze. Your septic tank will vent through that line to your vent stack. Your septic tank is generating heat all the time so it will be pushing warm (smelly) air out your vent stack..
Where is the vent stack pipe connected?
There will be 2 vent lines, one coming up from each sink connection.
@@thomasfett6674 The toilet gets it's vent from the vanity vent.I guess it's considered a wet vent in that at times the vent is also carrying waste.
Most excellent ! Thoughtfully done . Thank you
Thx
The pole barn is looking really good. I can’t wait to see it all done.
Looks great. Good job bro. Y’all are doing great.
I'm with Mike Honcho. You really might want a floor drain in the meat processing room as well as the walk in refrigeration unit so you can just hose everything down after you work or when you need to do a routine cleaning. It gets really messy when you do the entire processing work as I'm sure you know. That's really neat what you all are doing there!
Consider it like a mini-restaurant. And it may need to be inspected by the state. Find out what their requirements are.
It is only to my personal use, not to sell items.
That was my thought. Food handler permits and inspections only necessary if you sell outside your home.
Good work guys well done.
Excellent pluming job.
Nice tamper you've got there, I think I have the same one ;)
The barn looks so much more finished now that it's backfilled and sitting "on" level ground!
You two are awesome. Great progress today!!💖🐱👤
Looking good 👍❣️
If you are happy with what you and Rebecca has done ,then that is all that matters. I am so proud of you guys. You are working so hard. God bless and be safe. Love ya
You are a jack of all trades! Excellent!
Awesome, that is a lot of work in a day!
Rebecca is a marvelous worker
Wow that backfill was major, I was waiting to see it.
Such a great series. Cant wait for the next one
Cool your plumbing was very impressive.
Love your pole barn u n Rebekah are doing a great job.
Your barn turned out very nice brother!! 👍🏻
Hi 2 1/2 foot deep for the frost line that is wrong in MA we have to go down 4 feet that will all freeze
18" here in Virginia...
Evan put the pour on hold, you need to have that gravel compacted with a machine driven vibrator roller, it will drop that gravel another 5”, if not you will have cracks in that floor within a year, and I would consider drains in the floor throughout even if there just going into the yard.
Time, water and gravity are the best compactors.
I would have used a 4” drain pipe to go to the septic tank!
That was a lot of work to dig the trenches. So amazing to see you put the plumbing pipes together. Looking forward to the continuation of this build and to see the finished barn. Have a Blessed day. You and Rebecca have earned some downtime today for sure.
Looks like you've done this before .. plumbing and stuff .. absolutely professional job :))
Great job, I was worried about the floor drains, All Good.
Nice idea to use conduit to run your water line!
don't forget to add a vent line that goes through the roof to avoid the suction effect of your drains goggling
You might consider a floor drain in your meat processing area. There is a lot of blood and Waist that hits the floor.
They did a great job, I'd be very happy!
nice cat (@11:03) it's color reminds me of cinnamon and sugar mixed
That's amazing. Everything done backwards from building a house
Retain wall along the back side and back. Plug the open pipes so critters don't start making a home.
Yup, I really think a retaining wall is going to be needed. I would also suggest that the gutter down spout runs be underground to get the water away from the building.
Good job. I wish I had "stone free" ground like that!
But, how are you getting water to your kitchen sink? Under slab? Or overhead?
looking great, when looking for your sink go with the 14gauge commercial grade, also look for something pretty deep.
We already have the sink. Picked one up at an auction, where a grocery store went out of business.
Not surprised Rebecca was tired all that rain dancing
Noticing no house trap ! Would probably help in oder and pipe maintenance . and frost depending where you are is usually three to four foot dig. Just saying 🙂
Ive only seen barndos built on slabs. How can I learn about building something like yours? I love how u can build the shell then do the plumbing then the concrete!
Evan putting a shower in would be useful food for thought
You need a vent sir otherwise you end up with water holding in the pipe, similar to holding your finger over the end of a straw full of water and when you remove your finger it will all come rushing out, Same effect with a vent
Evan, you need a soil stack vent above your toilet outlet so the toilet flushes properly !
There is going to be a vent off the bathroom sink. So the 2" wet vent from the sink is connects within 2 feet of the toilet connection. Well within code for a 4" drain line.
Looking good. The Amish do good work.
You both did a pretty good job with the plumbing.. The only thing I would suggest is that you put a temporary cape on all the pipes which stick out of the ground to prevent either a complete or partial blockage if anything gets dropped into the pipes... I have learned this through bitter experience in the passed. Because if you do get anything dropped down there you will have a realy horrible job to clean it out. Hope you don;t mind me saying this as it could save you a lot of unnecessary work later,.
Great job Evan. You and Rebecca are a great team. Looks good
