Remember the release spray! Watching to see if you remembered... 😂 (No spoiler...) A fish tape for pulling would have worked better than trying to push 40' of 12/2 through that conduit.
I'll probably get flack for this comment, but the water draining from the sink isn't full of sewer shit, there won't be much volume, & you're not exactly worried about freezing or you'd have buried the water supply line deeper, so you could've just dug a drain line for it & leeched it into the yard to water it a bit... you could've even used the same trench you had dug; it's not as if you're gonna run massive gallons down that sink daily. Just saying...
That’s where Pea Gravel got its name. In 1702, Mr. I.P. Freeley learned if you put down small pebble sized stone in his gazebo area to Pee behind his smoker that it provided enough perk ratio to drain naturally into his neighbors tomato garden coining the term “P Gravel”
I was a tile contractor for 30 years. Next time you do a grout job do a heavy sweat. Get your sponge really wet and wipe from side to side so to leave the area really wet. Get most of the grout off leaving the area really wet looking like the surface is sweating. Leave it to dry then come back and rub the dusty surface with a rag or even more clear water. It should come out even and not so cloudy.
Dude, tie a piece of a plastic bag to a string, then put the plastic bag at one of the ends of the conduit, at the other end of the conduit vacuum out the plastic bag and then pull your cable through with the string. You're welcome.
This one pained me I like haxman for the learning as you go and " I don't cut out my mistakes" . It's more entertaining to me but pushing wire hurts my heart lol 😂. Pull wires bro.. we love you keep being you
Yep. Was coming here to say this lol. You can tell he hasn’t done much wiring because it didn’t take long for me to figure this out running 6 awg through 2” conduit was even still a pain to pull lol.
I had so many “THATS A GOOD IDEA” moments in this video. The 3D printed mold (I know it sucked to remove but it was a good idea nonetheless), the battery/solar combo to avoid running power, the bucket drain, and the outdoor fridge. This totally changed everything about my outdoor kitchen plans. Great job dude
The gray 12-2 you were trying to get in the sealtite is UF wire which is made for direct burial. No conduit needed. I'm not sure about Florida but it's actually against code to run UF in conduit other than in a short run of riser pipe once it exits the ground to protect it from things like weedeaters and things that can nick it. But you have to strip the exterior gray insulation off of the part that runs in the conduit because the outer jacket of UF is the conduit which is why it's against code to run it in conduit because it's considered a conduit inside a conduit which can let heat build up and degrade the wire insulation and eventually cause a short. It probably won't and if it does it will take a long time unless you are constantly running a heavy load on it.
Correct as far as gray being direct burial. Although not recommended for jacketed in conduit, I'd check on the UF code thing for UF in conduit. For 30 years I thought romex was not allowed in conduit as well. For weeks I still have not found anything in the NEC. But I would truly be more concerned with jacketed in a buried pipe. Also, removing jacket exposing the wire could be bad as the coated wire is not rated for being outside it's jacket in a conduit. Going back to heat, moisture, etc. As far as using conduit short runs to riser and all, legal and recommended for physical protection. I was doing a repair job for a customer and an electrician friend and I got to talking about it. He's a master and said he was unaware of the romex in conduit thing. But this was also overhead commercial, not buried. Being only 30 ft and easy, and out of sight, I just removed and put in THHN next size up in PVC conduit to be safe.
@@RICHat22 I somewhat misspoke. It's considered a raceway in a raceway. I can't remember about romex in conduit being code or not but we used to have a certain inspector that would fail you for romex being piped in in a basement even though it was just a few feet down the wall so we would strip the romex in his jurisdiction. But I think that was just him throwing around his power with the authority of jurisdiction. You can go above and beyond the code but you can't diminish it.
I use a "Stainless Steel Grease Trap" for my outdoor kitchen and let it drain to the ground. I use biodegradeable dish soap as well. I mostly just wash my hands, clean off utensils, and fill watering cans. If I need to pour something down a real drain, i go inside.
It's the little things that make life special, like cleaning out a grease trap after a month of not using your outdoor kitchen. Lol, i have one too. Enzyme cleaner treatment after each use ftw
Hey dude.. next time you're trying to "pull" a wire through a small conduit... Use an air compressor to blow some cotton kite string through it , tie it to the wire,, then you can actually PULL the wire through. 😉 👍 What you're doing is called "feeding" and feeding wire sucks lol
If you want to take more of that dried mortar off so you can see the brick better you can mix one part muriatic acid to four parts, water, and brush it on with an acid brush and then pressure wash it. Make sure you soak the brick good with clean water before brushing the acid on, and don’t let it stay on there very long or it will turn it a yellowish color
Another trick for getting that wire through the conduit: Use a shop vac to suck a piece of fishing line through the length of tubing. Use the fising line to pull paracord or small diameter rope through, then use the rope (and some Dawn! great tip there) to pull the wire through. Pulling is way easier than pushing.
You are an inspiration to do the projects myself, instead of having someone else do them. When you do it yourself, you can customize aspects of the project, and even change directions if a better idea pops into your head. Thanks.
Wow! Fantastic setup.

He did it because Jackery *gave* him the unit... If you are actually needing to spend your own money on it, it would be cheaper to run an electric wire from your house to it...
This is just what I needed! Mini freezer fridge, jackery solar, smoker grill! I'm in a rural area off grid. Not sure how I'll get the funds for it, but at least now I know what I'm aiming for 😅
Stumbled upon your channel and watched it cause I'm wanting to build my outdoor kitchen/bbq area. I LOVE how you show all the things that went on and kept it real, cause it is what usually happens to me when building or doing anything for that matter. It came out awesome! I need to see your other videos on how you started it all so I can get ideas for mine. Thank you so much!
@@HAXMAN thanks, cause I'm gonna need it. We have what we call "The Leal Curse"... something ALWAYS goes wrong without fail and if it goes smoothly, something is DEFINITELY WRONG 🤣🤣🤣
Wifeys fingers got pinched, I feel bad but it happens to everyone. I love the channel and love how she helps you. I have done so many projects alone cause family aren’t interested. I just force them to help. They’ll thank me when they run their own house.
I started helping my dad with projects around age two. When I married my husband and we bought our first house, my husband thanked my dad, cause I could do dry wall, tile, plumbing and some electrical, also helped welding and rebuilding antique cars.
Find out if your Jackery is delivering clean charging to your electronics. Dirt power will cause lots of damage to them. Are you gonna smooth this out? That girl is sharp!!
Perfect timing. We are building an outdoor kitchen, so that I can pressure can outside as well as having cookouts, where first we have to put in a cement flooring, but this gives us clarity on the direction we can go. Thank you for the wonderful insight for a practical project.
You have a lot of great help between Kim and your youngest. I laughed when your daughter suggested an alternative to moving the smoker into the structure. She has what I call “the gift of anticipation”. The best helpers have that gift.
I love that you got kiddo involved ! The whole family has their part. Thanks for this style of content, it's fun and I can see how you figure stuff out. That Jackery looks super easy to use and I should consider something like this myself.
You'll appreciate a larger overhang on the roof because afternoon showers will limit cooing/serving/drinking time. I lve in FL too and built an outdoor kitchen. Rain blows in on the countertops. Larger overhand should be next, not just gutters. Seal up the countertop too.
great project!! two things though, the direct burial cable does not go through conduit, It is meant to be outside. putting in conduit is actually too much insulation wires will overheat with heavy load. also you should ad a small vent to the drain bucket.
Love your content.... I really wanna say thank you for using a drill not an impact for things. There's nothing that drives me crazier then using the wrong tools and others emulating ...
The "conduit" is actually called seal tight or liquid tight, used for many applications where a flexible but protected wire needs to be such as an outdoor A/C unit etc. Can also be buried as well. Next time fish a string line in the seal tight, tie to UF wire, feed while someone pulls, easy peasy.
Never push cable through, always pull. When I did commercial electrical, we used a piece of sponge (mouse) tied to fishing line tied to a heavier string. Use a shop vac to suck the mouse through your run then pull you line. You will still need soap or grease to lubricate your wire run, but so much less frustrating. Thank you for the videos. Fun to watch.
Others have already commented about pushing wires (yeah, painful to watch). But honestly, I thought you were going to take that direct burial-rated Romex you had and... oh, I don't know, bury it! That would have required only pushing about 10 feet of that cable through about 3 feet of flex. I thought the conduit was just to get it inside the cabinet safely. But let's not count how many mistakes I will make! Love your videos! Where've you been all this time so that I'm just now finding them! I have my own gazebo and kitchen I want to build, and I'm getting so many great ideas from your work. And even the mistakes. What counts is that your end product is amazing. Nice work. I hope mine turns out even close to what you have here.
Hello brother @Haxman from another mother! Keep up the entertaining videos period! Having the family involved is great! Kim seems to be a great camera woman and a great right hand lol. I love the "squatch" references... I'm out here in Arizona... yeah they are real! This outdoor kitchen build was great and right next to the awesome concrete firepit you knocked out!
If you didn't already, double check your fridge and maybe the Jackery. Make sure that the 12VDC is actually more efficient. Depending on how the voltage is used internally on the fridge, inverting or converting, it could be more efficient on 120VAC. As for gray water, make sure if you gravel the hole you screen properly. I did a 3x3x3 gravel hole just for sink water at my outside shop without anything else and it slowed down within a year. Oh, and I started turning my 20x20 carport into a never-ending outdoor kitchen project last Fall. Complete with natural gas commercial range/griddle/eyes, egg, gas griddle/grill, charcoal grill, and electric smoker to try out. Good times.
Use a ShopVac and some cord/rope/heavy string to pull the wire. Put the vac on one end and use it to pull the cord through. Then attach the wire to the cord (duct tape usually works). Now just pull the cord out, the wire comes with it.
I bet if you put a slight taper on that plug and a ton of mold release (or plastic tape or something) it would pop right out. Or you could pop it out from the top once the counter is in place.
For running wire through conduit connect string to a piece of a plastic bag then stick the plastic bag which is tied to the string in one side of the conduit. Next get out your wet dry vacuum and suck the bag/string through the conduit. It only takes a few seconds so don't suck an extra hundred foot of string through the conduit, ask me how I know. Next just tie/tape the wire to the string and pull it on through. The soap also can be used as well to make it a bit easier.
I love doing projects around the house for my family but, I was a real butt when I was in the middle of the project. Thank you for teaching me to have fun during the process of figuring it out. By the way, those ungovernable shirts are so comfortable.
I've been holding off watching this cause I'm right in the middle of trying to decide on a cooking deck build and I knew you were going to complicate my plans... Now I can say mission accomplished. Now I have to rethink my build, Damn you and your ambition Adam.
FREAKING YES! Haven’t even started the video yet, already excited. I cannot waaaait to get through physical therapy, get some land, and start building things!
I love your channel! My mother was flipping properties decades before the term as invented. Dad worked full time and pastored churches so it really did rely on Mom. We grew up do it, make it work. My Iceco is so helpful for canning and butchering.
Man you are great. You leave in the parts where normal people mess up. Love your channel. Keep it up. Love watching with my kids and show them that kids can help their dad do projects. Side note. I reused some old side rails from my son’s bunk bed twin that I made for a queen. Got it all nicely matched and put together. I put the box spring down and it didn’t quite go down. 6in short. What did she say!! . Oops so worried about width forgot the length of the side rails were different for the queen. So now nicer newer side rails.
This is absolutely stunning! Good pick on the brick veneer, love the cabinet although I’d like to watch it all even though I know the steps lol. It’s all enjoyable Haxman and pure comedic relief to top it off! More builds like this and more shop cabinet storage pls and thank you!
I like using wire we bought a spool of it from the big box stores. Wrap it in duct tape first, then cut the bindings on the inside of the wire. Feed the wire through the conduit once it is through tape the wire you want in and pull it back through. Still using the soap or the conduit gel from big box store. I use the conduit gel in my suppressors too.
Great video. Awesome build. For future wire pulling events.....use your shopvac to suck a string with a small piece of paper tied to the end, through that weather tite conduit then use the string to pull the wire. You still might need some lube to pull the wire but this way is much easier than trying to push the wire through.
This came out amazing! The Jackery system is a great idea, wouldn't probably get enough solar here in Finland though 😅 Just a thought, you could've probably put a weight on a string, run that through that conduit and pull the wire through with that. Also that 3D printed plug could be easy to melt off, especially if you used PLA.
Next time fish a nylon rope through your tube then pull the wire with the nylon rope. Pulling on a wire is waaaaaay easier than pushing on it. Good job!
@jasonharrington8387 The electricians in this chat are easy to spot today.😆 I rarely had a compressor on a Jobe site. I facepalmed when he grabbed the extension cord. (Sorry, Haxman)
I love this!! What a great addition for your family. And the hacks for electric (go, Jackery!), water oh heck, everything turned out amazing. Hearty congrats for making a dream outdoor kitchen!!
For the conduit just tie a plastic bag to a string longer than the conduit and put a vacuum at the other end then use the string to pull the wire through
I might be wrong, but outside I would want a bigger sink for washing grills and equipment. (Right now I am using a deep laundry sink outside so I am not splattering all over the inside kitchen)! I have yet to get my outdoor kitchen done yet, although we did create plumbing already.
Use that grey water in your garden! Don’t waste it or do a French drain along your property. Simple French drain, dig down 18” lay down super heavy landscape fabric soot will come up and over the top of the pipe, lay gravel down, lay pipe with a sock down, (yea I know, people say it’s overkill) well not one French drain I have ever installed had gotten clogged up and quit working or overflowed except during a hurricane that dumped 22 “ of rain. But I digress, add more gravel up to within 6/8” from top of sod line, wrap super heavy duty landscape fabric that will outlast your grandchildren over top, pin it down on both sides, cover with sod. Voila a French dain that someone one days 100 years from now uses to show dummies how it’s done right. I also put In a 12”x 12” box with grate at the beginning so the entire drain line can be checked for root invasion which is the one thing that needs to be taken into consideration when plotting where to install the French drain first. Try to avoid any trees or heavily rooted shrubs that are invasive.
So please you have such a lovely outside kitchen. And it was uploaded on my half a birthday. The one my mother gave me when I was just 12 years old. Have a blessing this summer and every time you cook outside and please have some smoked cheddar cheese and make some smoked cheese.
Fish tape! Also, you can pipe your grey water to a flower bed or bushes. That way theres no worry over overflowing the bucket and the bushes get watered.
"It's almost like I've worked with myyself".....I know that feel. You recover well. I really love that you include mistakes in your vids. Teachable moments help doofuses like me out a lot. Please keep doing what you're doing....I could use the help. It's really nice to learn from someone else's mistakes nefore I make my own. XD
You can do a sand/rock filter on that bucket.put a piece of screen on top and it’ll filter out the chunky stuff … the sand/rock should dump clean(er) water out
I must admit, when you built the slab, and what you were planning to do with it, i thought it was going to be to small. But, I stand corrected!! It looks MARVELOUS! NOW WHEN'S THE COOK OUT, POOL PARTY, FIRE RING NIGHT!! I live so close it wouldn't be a problem!!!
Love the build, and always enjoy watching your step-by-step videos. Was not in love with the white-wash deal that ended up all over the stones though. :( Next time, maybe a flat pad rotary type sander would work, or at the very least a copper pad of some sort since the wet sponge was obviously not working. But if you guys love it, that's all that matters!
If you cut back the insulation on one end of the UF cable, exposing the ground wire in the center of the cable (the bare copper), make a small loop and twist it, so that you can push a fish tape through your flexible conduit and hook the fish tape to it, careful to tape up all of the edges of this. Then can pull it through your flexible conduit, while someone feeds the cable into it. Also, going up one more size of flexible conduit will both reduce friction when pulling it in, and also helps to dissipate heat from the cable, which is important if you plan to use the cable continuously with a big load on it (16 amps is the maximum legal load for constant use per NEC, on that 12-2 UF). That conduit is rated for direct burial, but the type of flex with the metal in it, isn't rated for direct burial, unless it shows that it is on the outer jacket or in the paperwork from the manufacturer. That will matter if you have any inspections associated with your project.
I built a mini grey water drain field for my outdoor grill, which lasted 15 years. Here’s how I did it: I used a 5-gallon bucket buried in the ground, sitting on top of another 5-gallon deep layer of rocks. I lined the hole with cloth to prevent sand from encroaching. I added holes all around the exterior of the bucket before placing it on the bed of rocks. I then filled the bucket and surrounding area with more rocks, covering the cloth. To finish, I covered theassembly with about a foot of soil on top of cloth. I installed an overflow drain as a precaution, but it never overflowed during those 15 years. A key tip: test your soil for proper drainage first to see how quickly it drains. I also used a J pipe beneath the sink drain to prevent odors from coming back up.
I foresee many parties happening out there. Probably ought to give thought to trash receptacles at least in the area. Meat packaging and the sort can pile up quick, meanwhile I'm guessing veggie prep "waste" will go to the chickens. Such great content and fun to watch too.
a few items, 1-may want to use your corded drill when mixing anything. the battery ones are not made for that. B- no pt lumber touching 'crete. ouch. you can use the butyl tape or zip tape to protect even the raw pine. it works. good to remove the faucet aerator then turn on water, as particles may be in the line. seal the counter top.... i dig the slides, nice easy toouch, just sayin' thanks
Hello friend, I just wanted to thank you for the time you dedicate to your videos. You have left the garage 💯, and you have given me ideas for mine. I just wanted to tell you that I see you from España-Torrevieja, good job🎉🎉
There's a pretty nifty trick to feed wire through conduit. You just need a piece of nylon rope and one of those liquor store grocery bags. Tie the rope around the plastic bag and then get a heavy duty shop vac to suck the plastic bag through the conduit(make sure to duct tape off the hose to the conduit so not suction escapes). The bag makes a perfect seal inside the conduit and pulls that rope through in 2 -3 seconds. Then just tie off the end of the rope to the wire, electrical tape the point where the wire and rope are tied together, and pull through the conduit. If you are worried about the rope untying part way through the conduit as you pull from the output side, make sure to get a helper to apply your dish soap or an actual wire pulling lube to lubricate the wire as its going into the conduit on the input side.

@@leahrowe847 It could work if you did a two-part system that collected solids while let liquids through to a small perforated tank in the ground.
You could dig a "dry well" for the gray water from the sink and fill it with pea gravel.
I should have scrolled down before I commented.
I second this. I have seen home laundry run into a dry well for years without any issue which I’m guessing would get much more use
That’s what did on mine: dry well. You just don’t let food goes into that well. Mine has been since 2017 with no problems whatsoever.

I love how your family helps you. Regardless if your kids like it or not it is going to be a really big plus for them in the future.
This is just what I needed! Mini freezer fridge, jackery solar, smoker grill! I'm in a rural area off grid. Not sure how I'll get the funds for it, but at least now I know what I'm aiming for
😅
Stumbled upon your channel and watched it cause I'm wanting to build my outdoor kitchen/bbq area. I LOVE how you show all the things that went on and kept it real, cause it is what usually happens to me when building or doing anything for that matter. It came out awesome! I need to see your other videos on how you started it all so I can get ideas for mine. Thank you so much!
@@ernestleal6890 Thank you! Good luck on your kitchen project!
@@HAXMAN thanks, cause I'm gonna need it. We have what we call "The Leal Curse"... something ALWAYS goes wrong without fail and if it goes smoothly, something is DEFINITELY WRONG 🤣🤣🤣
I like your work and family (including Big Foot). I love your sense of humor and funny voices. 😊
Wifeys fingers got pinched, I feel bad but it happens to everyone. I love the channel and love how she helps you. I have done so many projects alone cause family aren’t interested. I just force them to help. They’ll thank me when they run their own house.
Im sure her fingers aren't the only thing that get pinched 🤌
I started helping my dad with projects around age two. When I married my husband and we bought our first house, my husband thanked my dad, cause I could do dry wall, tile, plumbing and some electrical, also helped welding and rebuilding antique cars.
Smart child!!! She will definitely be a builder one day!!❤❤
Find out if your Jackery is delivering clean charging to your electronics. Dirt power will cause lots of damage to them. Are you gonna smooth this out? That girl is sharp!!
Pressure clean that brick.
Perfect timing. We are building an outdoor kitchen, so that I can pressure can outside as well as having cookouts, where first we have to put in a cement flooring, but this gives us clarity on the direction we can go. Thank you for the wonderful insight for a practical project.
Thanks! I’m glad it was useful to you.
You have a lot of great help between Kim and your youngest. I laughed when your daughter suggested an alternative to moving the smoker into the structure. She has what I call “the gift of anticipation”. The best helpers have that gift.
That's absolutely true. I always tell them to learn to anticipate what I'm going to need.
Yes Grey Water is the Term for it when its not Sewer.😊❤
I love that you got kiddo involved ! The whole family has their part. Thanks for this style of content, it's fun and I can see how you figure stuff out. That Jackery looks super easy to use and I should consider something like this myself.
You'll appreciate a larger overhang on the roof because afternoon showers will limit cooing/serving/drinking time. I lve in FL too and built an outdoor kitchen. Rain blows in on the countertops. Larger overhand should be next, not just gutters. Seal up the countertop too.
That was fantastic. If I show my wife I know I’ll have to build one.
Thank you! 😄
Hey at least she can butter while you lay haha 😂
Just a heads up, your not suppose to put romex through seal tight or conduit. Use thhn/thhwn.
Its like youre solving problems i didnt know i had for projects i didnt know i needed. Thanx Hax!
😂
I’m never going to build what you build, but I love watching a craftsman at work. Keep building and posting. Thank you.
great project!! two things though, the direct burial cable does not go through conduit, It is meant to be outside. putting in conduit is actually too much insulation wires will overheat with heavy load. also you should ad a small vent to the drain bucket.
Love your content.... I really wanna say thank you for using a drill not an impact for things. There's nothing that drives me crazier then using the wrong tools and others emulating ...
The "conduit" is actually called seal tight or liquid tight, used for many applications where a flexible but protected wire needs to be such as an outdoor A/C unit etc. Can also be buried as well. Next time fish a string line in the seal tight, tie to UF wire, feed while someone pulls, easy peasy.
Never push cable through, always pull. When I did commercial electrical, we used a piece of sponge (mouse) tied to fishing line tied to a heavier string. Use a shop vac to suck the mouse through your run then pull you line. You will still need soap or grease to lubricate your wire run, but so much less frustrating. Thank you for the videos. Fun to watch.
Others have already commented about pushing wires (yeah, painful to watch). But honestly, I thought you were going to take that direct burial-rated Romex you had and... oh, I don't know, bury it! That would have required only pushing about 10 feet of that cable through about 3 feet of flex. I thought the conduit was just to get it inside the cabinet safely.
But let's not count how many mistakes I will make!
Love your videos! Where've you been all this time so that I'm just now finding them! I have my own gazebo and kitchen I want to build, and I'm getting so many great ideas from your work. And even the mistakes. What counts is that your end product is amazing. Nice work. I hope mine turns out even close to what you have here.
Hello brother @Haxman from another mother! Keep up the entertaining videos period! Having the family involved is great! Kim seems to be a great camera woman and a great right hand lol. I love the "squatch" references... I'm out here in Arizona... yeah they are real! This outdoor kitchen build was great and right next to the awesome concrete firepit you knocked out!
Thank you Kurt!
If you didn't already, double check your fridge and maybe the Jackery. Make sure that the 12VDC is actually more efficient. Depending on how the voltage is used internally on the fridge, inverting or converting, it could be more efficient on 120VAC. As for gray water, make sure if you gravel the hole you screen properly. I did a 3x3x3 gravel hole just for sink water at my outside shop without anything else and it slowed down within a year.
Oh, and I started turning my 20x20 carport into a never-ending outdoor kitchen project last Fall. Complete with natural gas commercial range/griddle/eyes, egg, gas griddle/grill, charcoal grill, and electric smoker to try out. Good times.
Use a ShopVac and some cord/rope/heavy string to pull the wire. Put the vac on one end and use it to pull the cord through. Then attach the wire to the cord (duct tape usually works). Now just pull the cord out, the wire comes with it.
"Its almost like I worked with me before so I knew what to expect" and "If I worked for me I'd fire me". I felt that.
Man, this is the coolest. I have run my Traeger on my Jackery 240. Gonna go mobile with it one of these days.
I bet if you put a slight taper on that plug and a ton of mold release (or plastic tape or something) it would pop right out. Or you could pop it out from the top once the counter is in place.
I like watching you guys work. It gives me a smile everytime. God bless.
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Brother, this was impressive, and the energy is free. Doesn't get any better than that. My compliments.
Just a hindsight thought about wet setting brackets in the bottom of the counter top maybe an idea
Absolutely brilliant video, and it was great to watch you make mistakes, and get around them, great work, thank you
For running wire through conduit connect string to a piece of a plastic bag then stick the plastic bag which is tied to the string in one side of the conduit. Next get out your wet dry vacuum and suck the bag/string through the conduit. It only takes a few seconds so don't suck an extra hundred foot of string through the conduit, ask me how I know. Next just tie/tape the wire to the string and pull it on through. The soap also can be used as well to make it a bit easier.
I love doing projects around the house for my family but, I was a real butt when I was in the middle of the project. Thank you for teaching me to have fun during the process of figuring it out.
By the way, those ungovernable shirts are so comfortable.
What’s funny is I’m extremely impatient. Working with my family is the only time I’m patient.
I’m so glad! Thanks for your support Chris!
I've been holding off watching this cause I'm right in the middle of trying to decide on a cooking deck build and I knew you were going to complicate my plans... Now I can say mission accomplished. Now I have to rethink my build, Damn you and your ambition Adam.
😂 Good luck on the build Jacob!
FREAKING YES! Haven’t even started the video yet, already excited. I cannot waaaait to get through physical therapy, get some land, and start building things!
Love that your wife is strong enough to help you lift stuff like that. Must be so handy.
It’s very handy. 😄
Use compressed air to blow string through the conduit, then tape it to the wire you want to pull through.
I love your channel! My mother was flipping properties decades before the term as invented. Dad worked full time and pastored churches so it really did rely on Mom. We grew up do it, make it work. My Iceco is so helpful for canning and butchering.
Man you are great. You leave in the parts where normal people mess up. Love your channel. Keep it up. Love watching with my kids and show them that kids can help their dad do projects.
Side note. I reused some old side rails from my son’s bunk bed twin that I made for a queen. Got it all nicely matched and put together. I put the box spring down and it didn’t quite go down. 6in short. What did she say!! . Oops so worried about width forgot the length of the side rails were different for the queen. So now nicer newer side rails.
@@kramerjmk Thank you! I love hearing that people watch with their kids!
If I don’t have to go back and redo something I’m shocked. 😄
This is absolutely stunning! Good pick on the brick veneer, love the cabinet although I’d like to watch it all even though I know the steps lol. It’s all enjoyable Haxman and pure comedic relief to top it off! More builds like this and more shop cabinet storage pls and thank you!
Thank you!
I like using wire we bought a spool of it from the big box stores. Wrap it in duct tape first, then cut the bindings on the inside of the wire. Feed the wire through the conduit once it is through tape the wire you want in and pull it back through. Still using the soap or the conduit gel from big box store. I use the conduit gel in my suppressors too.
Great video. Awesome build. For future wire pulling events.....use your shopvac to suck a string with a small piece of paper tied to the end, through that weather tite conduit then use the string to pull the wire. You still might need some lube to pull the wire but this way is much easier than trying to push the wire through.
You simply amaze me! When you do build the tiny house, I know someone who is interested in buying it😉
I know someone interested in living it. 😂
This came out amazing! The Jackery system is a great idea, wouldn't probably get enough solar here in Finland though 😅
Just a thought, you could've probably put a weight on a string, run that through that conduit and pull the wire through with that. Also that 3D printed plug could be easy to melt off, especially if you used PLA.
I have minimal to no building skills but I enjoy your videos. Makes me want to learn more and more.
Thank you!
@@HAXMAN if you ever decide to open a “HAXMAN school for people who can’t build good “ let me know and I’ll be there lol.
Next time fish a nylon rope through your tube then pull the wire with the nylon rope. Pulling on a wire is waaaaaay easier than pushing on it. Good job!
I definitely will. Thank you!
Tie a tissue on the nylon and shop vac it through the conduit, then tie into your wires.
@@Deadearth00came here to say this. Or blow through with air compressor
@jasonharrington8387 The electricians in this chat are easy to spot today.😆
I rarely had a compressor on a Jobe site.
I facepalmed when he grabbed the extension cord. (Sorry, Haxman)
I love this!! What a great addition for your family. And the hacks for electric (go, Jackery!), water oh heck, everything turned out amazing. Hearty congrats for making a dream outdoor kitchen!!
Fantastic build. I was hoping to build something similar out in my hunting camp. and now I have the inspiration.
For the conduit just tie a plastic bag to a string longer than the conduit and put a vacuum at the other end then use the string to pull the wire through
I might be wrong, but outside I would want a bigger sink for washing grills and equipment. (Right now I am using a deep laundry sink outside so I am not splattering all over the inside kitchen)! I have yet to get my outdoor kitchen done yet, although we did create plumbing already.
Use that grey water in your garden! Don’t waste it or do a French drain along your property. Simple French drain, dig down 18” lay down super heavy landscape fabric soot will come up and over the top of the pipe, lay gravel down, lay pipe with a sock down, (yea I know, people say it’s overkill) well not one French drain I have ever installed had gotten clogged up and quit working or overflowed except during a hurricane that dumped 22 “ of rain. But I digress, add more gravel up to within 6/8” from top of sod line, wrap super heavy duty landscape fabric that will outlast your grandchildren over top, pin it down on both sides, cover with sod. Voila a French dain that someone one days 100 years from now uses to show dummies how it’s done right. I also put In a 12”x 12” box with grate at the beginning so the entire drain line can be checked for root invasion which is the one thing that needs to be taken into consideration when plotting where to install the French drain first. Try to avoid any trees or heavily rooted shrubs that are invasive.
Another of your awesome builds, Thanks for sharing!
You sir are knowledgeable, and FUN. I love learning, retire Engineer....you are fun, and super learning.
So please you have such a lovely outside kitchen. And it was uploaded on my half a birthday. The one my mother gave me when I was just 12 years old. Have a blessing this summer and every time you cook outside and please have some smoked cheddar cheese and make some smoked cheese.
Great job guys. I really like getting the family involved!!
Thank you!! Me too. 😄
living the dream man, getting paid to fix up your own house with cool projects....another great project for sure
Fish tape! Also, you can pipe your grey water to a flower bed or bushes. That way theres no worry over overflowing the bucket and the bushes get watered.
"It's almost like I've worked with myyself".....I know that feel. You recover well. I really love that you include mistakes in your vids. Teachable moments help doofuses like me out a lot. Please keep doing what you're doing....I could use the help. It's really nice to learn from someone else's mistakes nefore I make my own. XD
You can do a sand/rock filter on that bucket.put a piece of screen on top and it’ll filter out the chunky stuff … the sand/rock should dump clean(er) water out
Nice musical sound effects😊
Luv your sliding shelves! Ingenious solution!! Luv Love luv. Thanks for that idea!
I must admit, when you built the slab, and what you were planning to do with it, i thought it was going to be to small. But, I stand corrected!! It looks MARVELOUS! NOW WHEN'S THE COOK OUT, POOL PARTY, FIRE RING NIGHT!! I live so close it wouldn't be a problem!!!
Thank you! 😁
Love the build, and always enjoy watching your step-by-step videos. Was not in love with the white-wash deal that ended up all over the stones though. :( Next time, maybe a flat pad rotary type sander would work, or at the very least a copper pad of some sort since the wet sponge was obviously not working. But if you guys love it, that's all that matters!
Dang! Wish I had a Jackery for my shed I converted I to my studio!
Awesome idea
I love it! My wife wants one, come on over anytime hahaha
That came out really nice. Good job!
If you cut back the insulation on one end of the UF cable, exposing the ground wire in the center of the cable (the bare copper), make a small loop and twist it, so that you can push a fish tape through your flexible conduit and hook the fish tape to it, careful to tape up all of the edges of this. Then can pull it through your flexible conduit, while someone feeds the cable into it. Also, going up one more size of flexible conduit will both reduce friction when pulling it in, and also helps to dissipate heat from the cable, which is important if you plan to use the cable continuously with a big load on it (16 amps is the maximum legal load for constant use per NEC, on that 12-2 UF). That conduit is rated for direct burial, but the type of flex with the metal in it, isn't rated for direct burial, unless it shows that it is on the outer jacket or in the paperwork from the manufacturer. That will matter if you have any inspections associated with your project.
I built a mini grey water drain field for my outdoor grill, which lasted 15 years. Here’s how I did it: I used a 5-gallon bucket buried in the ground, sitting on top of another 5-gallon deep layer of rocks. I lined the hole with cloth to prevent sand from encroaching. I added holes all around the exterior of the bucket before placing it on the bed of rocks. I then filled the bucket and surrounding area with more rocks, covering the cloth.
To finish, I covered theassembly with about a foot of soil on top of cloth. I installed an overflow drain as a precaution, but it never overflowed during those 15 years.
A key tip: test your soil for proper drainage first to see how quickly it drains. I also used a J pipe beneath the sink drain to prevent odors from coming back up.
I just came across your channel, and I just want to say thank you. I can now build up the courage to build my own outdoor kitchen. ❤ your channel.
@@denesefrazier8441 Thank you so much! Good luck!
Great show
michaelbuilds gets a shoutout! I want to try this countertop for an outdoor kitchen for whenever I get a house.
I foresee many parties happening out there. Probably ought to give thought to trash receptacles at least in the area. Meat packaging and the sort can pile up quick, meanwhile I'm guessing veggie prep "waste" will go to the chickens. Such great content and fun to watch too.
I just have one or two more projects to finish this area and I’ll be glad to be done. 😂 Thank you!
Mate that was an awesome build. I love the idea of making a concrete worktop as you customise it and the look is great. Respect from the UK
Nice Ford Bronco you got there!!
Really like this project and how well you tied it in with your house
Thank you!
a few items, 1-may want to use your corded drill when mixing anything. the battery ones are not made for that. B- no pt lumber touching 'crete. ouch. you can use the butyl tape or zip tape to protect even the raw pine. it works. good to remove the faucet aerator then turn on water, as particles may be in the line. seal the counter top.... i dig the slides, nice easy toouch, just sayin' thanks
Just found this channel today I will probably use my day's off of work binge watching I really like it
Hello friend, I just wanted to thank you for the time you dedicate to your videos. You have left the garage 💯, and you have given me ideas for mine. I just wanted to tell you that I see you from España-Torrevieja, good job🎉🎉
Always enjoyable. Of course you know that means Kim expects you to do more prep and cooking for the family meals, as she relaxes. LOL!
Thanks Gord!
Great Job!! The brick veneers look awesome!
@@pamelajackson495Thank you!
That Jackery looks pretty handy!
I love these battery banks. I use them all the time.
There's a pretty nifty trick to feed wire through conduit. You just need a piece of nylon rope and one of those liquor store grocery bags.
Tie the rope around the plastic bag and then get a heavy duty shop vac to suck the plastic bag through the conduit(make sure to duct tape off the hose to the conduit so not suction escapes).
The bag makes a perfect seal inside the conduit and pulls that rope through in 2 -3 seconds. Then just tie off the end of the rope to the wire, electrical tape the point where the wire and rope are tied together, and pull through the conduit. If you are worried about the rope untying part way through the conduit as you pull from the output side, make sure to get a helper to apply your dish soap or an actual wire pulling lube to lubricate the wire as its going into the conduit on the input side.
