Happy Adventure Thursday everyone!! So fun to have 2 episodes to share with you this week AND next week! We hope you all are doing well, we love you and we'll see you Sunday 🤗😘 xx, Mr and Mrs A + our 3 kitties too
@@Mrandmrsadventure Thank you guys for giving us an extra episode. Are you kidding? I look forward to them each week and I have a cousin from Brazil Rio where I was born, but I live in South Florida.. my cousin started a pizza business in Portugal and I know it’s frozen or you can pick it up at the store and it’s making a big success in Portugal and I’m so happy for him. Rio has become a vet, scary and dangerous but that’s where most of my family lives and I was just there in September October and it’s the most beautiful city you’ll ever see but I love Portugal that’s where my ancestors come from.. again I wish you guys much peace, love, and happiness. Kisses kisses as they say in Rio. Bjs
What a glorious thing!! CLEAN WATER. So many taken for granted, but being able to have water on your land, not only to drink and survive, but to protect your property and grow your crops. I am so happy for you guys. You are such good people and you deserve the best. I am just loving you and loving your adventures and have been watching since you were looking for property.
And what's even more incredible is the actual quality of the water they are able to source in that region. Very known for it's amazing quality and health benefits!
It is mind-blowing to me to think that people would come on your property, your private property and think it's okay. It is too bad that you even have to think about this! That is a game changer. Finally, having water on your property, that is so exciting! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us, always fun to see the progress.
I’m sure you must have enjoyed your precious time with family. Your Mom and Grandma are just as beautiful as you are ! Healing wishes for poor Drew ! ❤
The cats are having the best times of their lives , I like how they follow you around and are so inquisitive as to what is going on , and so loving towards you both. Oh , and kudos on all the water stuff - a defining moment.
Brittany you look like the magical fairy that you are with your kitties following you. Drew I'm so glad that your arm is all better now. No more falls. ❤. Congrats on the water. 🎉
What a wonderful update. Welcome back Brittney, Drew, you'll have to cut that kink out and reattach the ends using a standard connector fitting. That material once kinked is useless. Get that pump house built and protect your system.
Drew- when you do final install of piping from well point up to those two storage tanks, install a 4inch pvc conduit, then feed the water piping. That way if you ever need to replace there is no digging required. Think also about install a few large pull boxes in that run .
Hey Drew, awesome progress! Best to unroll the pipe to prevent the kinks, now you have to cut the kink out and use a union with 2 hose clamps on each side of the union. Also, though your pump may have a certain output, the volume of water in the drilled well (bore hole) will run out fairly quickly (within 2-3 hours) as the refill rate of the drilled well won’t be as fast as the the pump output. You can get someone in to calculate the refill rate, they pump the well out for an hour then set a instrument up on the well cap to measure the height of the water, then wait and hour and measure the height again. Using the volume of a cylinder you can then calculate the refill or recovery rate of the drilled well. The pump output is typically rated with almost zero backpressure, pumping all the way up to those tanks is going to drastically reduce the pump output. As always, I look forward to all your videos.
I am appreciative for as much as Brittany and Drew share about their lives already and would never consider trying to intrude on your personal time or space. I hope people get a grip on themselves and decide to be respectful of your safety and privacy. ❤
Two things: I think the rainbow when you arrived home (and I use “home” because it’s so right) was a perfect symbol of your love and commitment…to each other and to your fascinating project. And Brittany…you are one strong and tough broad…I mean lady!!! I love watching you two interact. You’re a great team. PS. I meant lady!
The term used for the shock felt inside the pipes when the valve is suddenly closed is called "water hammer". In some older homes, you can hear the pipes hit the house when valves are closed to quickly. Detrimental to the pipes.
The water pump is in! Piece by piece, your dream home is taking shape. We're almost there, right? Hugs! Hope your arm is feeling better, Andrew. Good luck!
Setting-up a well pump distribution system. Provision for: fire prevention sprinklers, connections for the house and the two large hillside tanks, a garden hose irrigation. In time, construction of a roadside pump house. Another milestone checked.
I've always loved and admired you guys and after watching this video, my feelings have grown even stronger. You honestly feel like family. Drew...So sorry for your injury and I'm glad it seems to be healing well. Without the castle princess there to care for you, I know it was a struggle to care for yourself and the watermill projects. Brittany...my heart saddened when you showed your diaries and talked about your health journey. I'm so happy that you made the turn back to a healthy way of life. 🙏 ❤
It is such a nice feeling when we see water coming out. Congratulations! I had a bad experience when I was swimming at Fort Lauderdale Beach. I didn't know about the waves that can take you in. I was floating and I was 200 meters from the beach in a few seconds. I tried to swim back but I was swimming against the current. I was so tired , so I had to swim to the side.
You two must be incredibly happy about pumping water finally! Projects are coming along leaps & bounds. Congrats & getting closer! Drew sorry to see you have injured yourself & you did wear a helmet I hope? 💙Britt so glad to know you had quality time with your family! Welcome home Britt you two are so cute just like teenagers in front of camera! 💜🧑🎄🎅🎄
So great to see a surprise video! How exciting is this epic day !!! I hope u build a really cool looking pump house for that pump!!! Drew u really should get an x ray on that arm, I mean look at what happened to the scooter handle? Thanks for the surprise video!!❤❤❤❤❤
Having unlimited water is huge! This is also great to tap into to put out wildfire. Drew, glad to see that you're okay and the accident was not major especially those hills and clips you have to drive. I once had an accident face down riding electric scooter. That was scary.
I am so proud you two,the homestead is coming on so well.I saw fallen branches of Eucalyptus reminded of me getting firewood as a young girl. I can't wait for Sunday vlog.much love from 🇰🇪
Oh wow ! What a happy milestone, water to all the property ! That will certainly simplify things ! Hope your arm is healing well Drew, and welcome back Brittany !
that is some beautiful looking water. congratulation on another epic feat being completed. stoked you got brittany and your elbow back drew. continued blessings.🕊
Congratulations on finally getting water. 💦 I notice in the drone shots that the terraces are starting to show green. I hope it’s good vegetation and not the eucalyptus coming back! 😉 loving 2x a week❤
Water!!! How exciting!! So grateful to see you seem to be recovering quickly Drew. It is wonderful that you have such great neighbors, especially with Brittany gone. Glad to see her back and the work continuing full steam ahead. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗💦
I was wondering if you guys ever comprehended how much work and I guess expense would be involved when you purchased the watermill to get it renovated or almost rebuilt actually. I can see it coming together beautifully with all the hard work that’s been put into it. I can’t wait to see it finished or at least move-in condition. Getting water was a huge step in this happening. I know Brittany is probably dreaming of getting a king size bed after being home for a few days. I hope Drew’s elbow heals soon, looks painful! 🥰
Hiya, great work as always. ❤…I’ve found when unrolling the BIG a coils of pipe, by far the best way is to weigh down the loose end and then unroll( preferably slight downhill) avoids the kinks/ tangles in the pipe. Leave in sunshine to soften up then drag the pump end downhill to the pump. Then it’s just burying the pipe so it’s not in the sun and is under your tracks. Where it’s kinked leave in the sun under pressure and it may well come good…if it doesn’t, you’ll need a straight connector and cut the kink out….its like that old saying about how can u eat an Elephant…..one bite at a time 😊, stay well,t
So much progress on the Mill House it’s not hard to imagine y’all moving IN! It already is looking like a home ❤ WATER!!! YAY!! It is good to get to visit home and also be back at home at the Mill House. So much to look forward to in the near future with your creations making your dream home come true! 👍💕✌️
When I was in southern florida las year, I went down to homestead to see the beautiful orchids! It didn’t disappoint. The Keys are nice, but shallow near shore. Snorkeling out at reefs was awesome.
I’m 56 and live alone on an eleven acre homestead and have been injured a few times so I completely understand the way you feel. I hurt my back once and could barely get back to the house and spent several days barely able to reposition myself in the bed.
Of its hard water there will be a metallic smell. If might need a water softner for bathing showering bit a reverse osmosis is fir drinking water quality I only
How exciting is getting your water pump installed! Thank you for filming and narrating the whole process. It was very interesting! You have great water pressure! Two of my sisters live off grid and have to use water pumps too. I had one when i lived in Colorado. It was housed in a "well house!" Your pump system is pretty cool! I loved your drone shots of the roof and your mill home! It looks truly magical! Also love your kitties! They are part of the magic! Road rash is no fun. Been there. I've done that! Get better soon, and remember to get that joint moving as soon as you can! You want to retain as much of your range of motion as you can without having to regain it again with painful physical therapy! I love how you both stay connected with family. It is super important! Good thing Brittany is back with Drew! You need each other❣️ My husband has limited mobility because of a stroke. I'm doing everything myself. I have to think about getting things done in stages. I know how to do a lot of things, but at 76, I am not as strong or as tall as I used to be.
The shot of the roof top is beautiful 😀 can't wait for the house to be done 😊 love the process and progress! To have water 💧 will be amazing. Thank you Drew and Brittany for sharing 😊❤🤗😎☀️much love to you ❤️
congrats on your new pump[! Grunfos is the best pump on the market, we installed them for quite a few years, but in our area we use heavy duty 20 ft 2 in PVC pipe with screw on connectors, but we also ha a 550 truck with a boom to lower an pull the pump, your going to love it.
So to see Brittany back - I'm sure she had a very good time with her family, but know she's very thankful to be back at t he Mill. Great job on getting water to the Mill and other places where you need it. So much joy watching your adventures in building your homestead. Take care and til next video, Love mla
Drew, so sorry about your accident and injury to the left arm/elbow. It is healing nicely, what a blessing for your neighbor who did first aid. Don’t be hard on yourself for the time you were down, in looking at everything you have done up till now, it is amazing. When you film with the drone, the place is just beautiful. Also, as others commented here, your command of Portuguese is very impressive, but you are immersed living there and working with people every day, and it is the best way to learn a language. Way to go!! It is so beneficial for both of you, keep up the great work!
Oh Drew your poor arm and hand, hope they continue to heal well, please take it easy. Lovely to have you back Brittany, I follow another channel ‘Jared and Brit’ who live in Fort Lauderdale. So exciting that you have water from your well, a step closer to being in your home, and being fire safe. Thanks for still filming even after Drew’s accident x
I’m not what you call an official house sitter but I did house cleaning for five years when my children were younger on 57 years old and I’m a dental assistant in Springfield Oregon. I drive an hour to and from work each day from Corvallis OR. It is my hope that in the near future, I will be able to not work and travel and would love more than anything to come to Portugal and housesit for you and Drew. I have loved each and every video I have watched and have been following for the last four years wishing you both all the best this holiday season and in the new year.🎄✨💖😊
Happy you have water and protection in case of a fire, but I absolutely love your roof the guys did a wonderful job. It’s just beautiful to it from above.
So happy for you that this step has come true! Sending lots of love from me and my kitty in Vermont! Drew, I'm pretty sure you have eucalyptus re-sprouting, you can see them as you come down the gully. I think you'll need to go through again and cut them back. They won't resprout forever, it just takes a few times to win.
So many millions, worldwide do not have clean clear safe water to drink - and yet we humans need it as much as we do air. This is so remarkable, and so valuable, for you - muito feliz por voce!
We always enjoy catching up on your news. Wonderful to see your vision come to fruition May God continue to bless and keep you both, your families and kitties. ❤❤ Sorry to see your injury Drew.
Water! Such a massive step forward in your journey toward having a perfect home! Well done for getting all of the (complicated) necessary steps sorted. Seeing those cats, all three of them, chasing along with you is a real joy! Just what you dreamed of, Brittney. Glad to see that your elbow is healing, Drew. Maybe think about elbow protection when you're zipping around at speed? Thanks for the bonus midweek video.
Oh wow, our well was the first thing that was done. We went about the same depth. FYI we made out well house kinda big and store a lot of stuff in there AND it all runs on solar. It's so cute. Congrats guys.
Just make sure that the new pump house has enough headroom in case the pump needs to be pulled out again - factor in the curve of the pipe when deciding the height of the roof. Alternatively have a roof you can open in order to get the pipe and pump out safely. You should have some filter cartridges to stop any sediment getting into the house plumbing, and a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen that can provide water for drinking, ice cubes and cooking. Well done both
At 11:12 reminded of: “A garden fountain, a well of living water and flowing streams . . . ” Song of Solomon 4:15 what blessings and rewards for your efforts! So happy for you😊
Love the socks with crocs...I understand being from Michigan then Florida. Maybe a better safe than sorry tip...reinforced concrete column both sides of your pump house...and a deep footing of cement on the heavy rain runoff side. Love the episode and twice theis week. Hope you're OK and healing well. Those road rashes are the worst.
Hope you heal up soon Drew. Its a drag when you do construction aand have an injury on something that bends. And yes NO pop byes to RUclipsrs. If I ever make it to Portugal, I'll make sure to drop a line first.😅
The Water Mill has Water! Congrats! I was wondering how those guys were going to get the rope off the pump, and was surprised to see they just tie it off at the cap. Thanks for the Wednesday video!
Nice job,and well thought. for the big kink, you may have to cut the tube and reconnect with the blue type type connections you see on the well, they are easy to find and use.
The technical term in America is it’s called waterhammer when you slam a valve shut the pressure surge going many many times it’s normal pressure! Still a 30 pound pressure from the pump slam shut, can put multiply times the pressure up to and over 300# or even more!
Happy Adventure Thursday everyone!! So fun to have 2 episodes to share with you this week AND next week! We hope you all are doing well, we love you and we'll see you Sunday 🤗😘 xx, Mr and Mrs A + our 3 kitties too
Have your water tested to make sure it does not have arcenic, bad bacteria etc. This is very important for well water & often overlooked.

Thank you guys for giving us an extra episode. Are you kidding? I look forward to them each week and I have a cousin from Brazil Rio where I was born, but I live in South Florida.. my cousin started a pizza business in Portugal and I know it’s frozen or you can pick it up at the store and it’s making a big success in Portugal and I’m so happy for him.

And what's even more incredible is the actual quality of the water they are able to source in that region. Very known for it's amazing quality and health benefits!
Drew - You should get a fire hose to store in the pump building so you can deal with a brush fire.
And one generator back up
It is mind-blowing to me to think that people would come on your property, your private property and think it's okay. It is too bad that you even have to think about this! That is a game changer. Finally, having water on your property, that is so exciting! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us, always fun to see the progress.
It’s amazing how much you’ve accomplished in two years. It’s exciting creating a home out of a mill. 🙌
It was great to have an extra episode! Wow! You've accomplished a lot. Drew, your Portuguese is coming along nicely. It's not a easy language.
I’m sure you must have enjoyed your precious time with family. Your Mom and Grandma are just as beautiful as you are ! Healing wishes for poor Drew ! ❤
THANK YOU LOVE 💕 and Drew's elbow is nearly all healed up now, thank goodness 🙏
It was really nice to see Britney in Florida and her childhood house, thanks for sharing such personal things with us.
Thank you for appreciating, every time I go back I’ll try and share something new from my room 🥰😽
The cats are having the best times of their lives , I like how they follow you around and are so inquisitive as to what is going on , and so loving towards you both. Oh , and kudos on all the water stuff - a defining moment.

@@jmalone2758 I thought the same thing. Now that it’s kinked that badly, the pipe integrity is damaged. If there’s a blowout, it’ll happen there.
Thank you! You would be glad to know that we did end up cutting the tube and fitting a connector to insure the integrity of the tube.
Drew- when you do final install of piping from well point up to those two storage tanks, install a 4inch pvc conduit, then feed the water piping. That way if you ever need to replace there is no digging required. Think also about install a few large pull boxes in that run .

I'D BET MONEY HE'S JUST GOING TO BURY IT AS IT IS.
Speaking from experience, make the well house larger than you think you will need. 🥰
excellent tip, obrigado!
Yes I have one wich is 1x1meter x 2 meters heigth and it´s a bit cramped...I believve 2x2 meters footprint will be ideal...
I am appreciative for as much as Brittany and Drew share about their lives already and would never consider trying to intrude on your personal time or space. I hope people get a grip on themselves and decide to be respectful of your safety and privacy. ❤
Two things:
I think the rainbow when you arrived home (and I use “home” because it’s so right) was a perfect symbol of your love and commitment…to each other and to your fascinating project.
And Brittany…you are one strong and tough broad…I mean lady!!! I love watching you two interact. You’re a great team.

It's so exciting to get 2 episodes this week. Water!!!! Yay!
Good job, one more step closer to building and living in a stable home, " that's not on wheels."😊
That well is just gold!!! Wonderful to have that for convenience and for fire safety!!!
The water pump is in! Piece by piece, your dream home is taking shape. We're almost there, right? Hugs! Hope your arm is feeling better, Andrew. Good luck!
Love all the kitty content 😻 I swear Minou looks like she is smiling! Soooo cute! 😸
We are watching and enjoying you guys from South Africa, always great seeing you guys notifications.
How special!! Always amazes us to know how far and wide this beautiful community reaches 😍🙏😘
Your roof is a work of art!

Finding that companion that completes you, total magic. 👩❤👨
It’s lovely to see how well the kitties have settled in, they are so sweet

Great Job! The roof has an Awesome Ariel view and now water! I'm hooked can't wait to see the rest!
Even the cloud was smiling😊

These gentleman are amazing they know what they are doing just AMAZING

We’ve been in the business in Canada for 30 years and grunfos pumps and pentair pressure tanks are the best
If the smell continues (H2S ) rotten egg smell. You might have to install an iron filter which is for any iron and rotten egg smell removal
Of its hard water there will be a metallic smell. If might need a water softner for bathing showering bit a reverse osmosis is fir drinking water quality I only
How exciting is getting your water pump installed! Thank you for filming and narrating the whole process. It was very interesting! You have great water pressure!

My husband has limited mobility because of a stroke. I'm doing everything myself. I have to think about getting things done in stages. I know how to do a lot of things, but at 76, I am not as strong or as tall as I used to be.
With all of the beautiful artistic design that you put into Spirit, I'm so looking forward to what you do inside the mill!
Yay! We love Spirit and can’t wait to get to going on the artistic features and interior design of the Mill.
The shot of the roof top is beautiful 😀 can't wait for the house to be done 😊 love the process and progress! To have water 💧 will be amazing. Thank you Drew and Brittany for sharing 😊❤🤗😎☀️much love to you ❤️
your Portuguese keeps getting better and better-it's truly impressive...
How exciting for you two!!! Love this. Hope you’re feeling better from the fall from your bike.
Celebrations for a major milestone of running water to your homestead!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
congrats on your new pump[! Grunfos is the best pump on the market, we installed them for quite a few years, but in our area we use heavy duty 20 ft 2 in PVC pipe with screw on connectors, but we also ha a 550 truck with a boom to lower an pull the pump, your going to love it.
So to see Brittany back - I'm sure she had a very good time with her family, but know she's very thankful to be back at t he Mill. Great job on getting water to the Mill and other places where you need it. So much joy watching your adventures in building your homestead. Take care and til next video, Love mla
Nice to get this episode while snowed in by a Buffalo lake-effect storm today. Thanks, friends!
Mr and Mrs Adventure here to save the day!! 🥰 so glad we could help keep you company 😘
I’m visiting daughter in Nova Scotia. Huge windstorm last night. 50+mph winds 🤦♀️. Stay safe & warm.
Drew, so sorry about your accident and injury to the left arm/elbow. It is healing nicely, what a blessing for your neighbor who did first aid. Don’t be hard on yourself for the time you were down, in looking at everything you have done up till now, it is amazing. When you film with the drone, the place is just beautiful. Also, as others commented here, your command of Portuguese is very impressive, but you are immersed living there and working with people every day, and it is the best way to learn a language. Way to go!! It is so beneficial for both of you, keep up the great work!
Oh Drew your poor arm and hand, hope they continue to heal well, please take it easy. Lovely to have you back Brittany, I follow another channel ‘Jared and Brit’ who live in Fort Lauderdale. So exciting that you have water from your well, a step closer to being in your home, and being fire safe. Thanks for still filming even after Drew’s accident x
what happened to his arm? did not get it?
I’m not what you call an official house sitter but I did house cleaning for five years when my children were younger on 57 years old and I’m a dental assistant in Springfield Oregon. I drive an hour to and from work each day from Corvallis OR. It is my hope that in the near future, I will be able to not work and travel and would love more than anything to come to Portugal and housesit for you and Drew. I have loved each and every video I have watched and have been following for the last four years wishing you both all the best this holiday season and in the new year.🎄✨💖😊
Hello Drew, it was really fun for Mr. Luís to communicate with you and not use some words so you could understand better 😊
Happy you have water and protection in case of a fire, but I absolutely love your roof the guys did a wonderful job. It’s just beautiful to it from above.
So happy for you that this step has come true! Sending lots of love from me and my kitty in Vermont! Drew, I'm pretty sure you have eucalyptus re-sprouting, you can see them as you come down the gully. I think you'll need to go through again and cut them back. They won't resprout forever, it just takes a few times to win.
honestly I felt better when she got back home.weird!!! Her strength is palpable. Drew you are amazing too.
I sympathise with you Drew, I fell out my back door today, grazed my right knee & elbow. Really smarts, cried like a baby 😂
What a huge accomplishment!! ❤
Loved the tour of your childhood bedroom! So sweet. 💕
So many millions, worldwide do not have clean clear safe water to drink - and yet we humans need it as much as we do air.
This is so remarkable, and so valuable, for you - muito feliz por voce!
That’s awesome. Put a huge smile on my face😊
Love watching you two. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
OMG 😳 what a job with the hose
Glad your arm is doing better👍
Wow!!! That is huge! Happy Water Day 💧 😊 Drew….be careful!
Your cats are so precious. I love that you're such good fur parents to them. It's nice to see something other than dog people on YT :)
Congratulations! Big milestone! Let it flow!!
Florida is nice this time of year. I was there in the summer, and not such great weather! But that’s the tropics for you!
We always enjoy catching up on your news. Wonderful to see your vision come to fruition May God continue to bless and keep you both, your families and kitties. ❤❤ Sorry to see your injury Drew.
🙏🎶😊✨
Wish you all the best and good recovery Drew. Love from Norway
Water! Such a massive step forward in your journey toward having a perfect home! Well done for getting all of the (complicated) necessary steps sorted.
Seeing those cats, all three of them, chasing along with you is a real joy! Just what you dreamed of, Brittney.
Glad to see that your elbow is healing, Drew. Maybe think about elbow protection when you're zipping around at speed?
Thanks for the bonus midweek video.
Oh wow, our well was the first thing that was done. We went about the same depth. FYI we made out well house kinda big and store a lot of stuff in there AND it all runs on solar. It's so cute. Congrats guys.
Congratulations on getting water 💧 and I'm glad that you are feeling better bro 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾👍👍🏠🏡❤️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Just make sure that the new pump house has enough headroom in case the pump needs to be pulled out again - factor in the curve of the pipe when deciding the height of the roof. Alternatively have a roof you can open in order to get the pipe and pump out safely.
You should have some filter cartridges to stop any sediment getting into the house plumbing, and a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen that can provide water for drinking, ice cubes and cooking.
Well done both
Water is LIfe!!!!! This is a wonderful addition in your place....:)
At 11:12 reminded of: “A garden fountain, a well of living water and flowing streams . . . ” Song of Solomon 4:15 what blessings and rewards for your efforts! So happy for you😊
Great reference!
I started clapping when the water started gushing 😂😂 love from Luxembourg ❤
Aww yay!!! Love that we can share in the joy 🥰🤗😘
Since your adventure in Portugal began, I have seen every episode. Two times a week 4ever!!?? Greetings from the Netherlands.
I wish we could manage it forever!! But for 2 weeks in a row for now at least 🥰 Thank you for being "here" with us 😘
Love the socks with crocs...I understand being from Michigan then Florida. Maybe a better safe than sorry tip...reinforced concrete column both sides of your pump house...and a deep footing of cement on the heavy rain runoff side. Love the episode and twice theis week. Hope you're OK and healing well. Those road rashes are the worst.
Hope you heal up soon Drew. Its a drag when you do construction aand have an injury on something that bends. And yes NO pop byes to RUclipsrs. If I ever make it to Portugal, I'll make sure to drop a line first.😅
I worked at Grundfos for a few years and I actually made the electrical part for that exactly type of pump 😅
So exciting watching all this going on.
The Water Mill has Water! Congrats! I was wondering how those guys were going to get the rope off the pump, and was surprised to see they just tie it off at the cap. Thanks for the Wednesday video!
🥰 You’re very welcome 😊
@@Mrandmrsadventure Thursday video, ha, closer to the weekend than I thought!
Can't wait for the next episode. Hopefully soon, You'll be in Your New Home
Congratulations!🎉 What a milestone!
GREAT to have running water ... inside the house and available for outside usage.
those water holding tanks are awesome :D
Yay for an extra episode 🎉
Nice job,and well thought.
for the big kink, you may have to cut the tube and reconnect with the blue type type connections you see on the well, they are easy to find and use.
Great point! We ended up using a stronger tube that you will see in a later episode 💪
The technical term in America is it’s called waterhammer when you slam a valve shut the pressure surge going many many times it’s normal pressure! Still a 30 pound pressure from the pump slam shut, can put multiply times the pressure up to and over 300# or even more!
