    I'm in the south of UK and find it amazing that although being approximately on the same latitude as you that we rarely go below minus 10 degrees Celsius. Long live the Gulf Stream........ Heck those water pipes are so deep.

    Excellent planning for multiple water sources that feed the house as well as various hydrants that can independently be shut down if future repairs or expansion are required without affecting the main water supply to house.
    The future trees will certainly appreciate the dug out water rather than RO water.
    I work for some cattle farmers with older established yard sites that unfortunately don't have enough separate valves on water lines thus water supply to houses has to be temporarily shut down when doing repairs to cattle watering bowls & hydrants.
    The extra planning you are doing now along with some extra piping & valves will certainly pay dividends in the future if issues arise.

    Hey Mike, looks like youll be spending some serious time at the north farm. I'm also sure that by creating a comfortable environment for the family youll be able to remain close which i see as important to you. Im also glad to see your contractors cutting the banks back where they had to enter the trench. I dont think many non construction people realize how dangerous trench work is. Thanks for sharing.😊

    Looks like you are doing it right the 1rst time. Much better than doing it half assed and having to do it twice. Guys around here are starting to lay to water lines from well to house in case down the road one fails you don't have to dig it up.

      @autobootpiloot Месяц назад +4

      In the Netherlands it’s enough to go about 60cm deep. Any less and the pipes will work themselves up to the surface. For freezing you could actually go less. The main water lines do run deeper though, I think about the same as Germany.

    Hopefully you see this Mike, definitely wrap your water lines and sewer lines in heat trace and wrap them in pipe insulation for everything that isn't in the ground, but one think happy I did was from sewer tree and water line was from the tree to 8ft under ground also wrapped the water and sewer in heat trace and insulation! What a life saver!! Also suggest wrapping everything in pump house in heat trace and insulation too and get the big electrical heater from Canadian tire/ princess auto! That shack will stay toasty!
