Every time i watch you i go WOW. A man of many talents.Love the crack always smiling on camera. thank you for all your hard work. We need all our Farmers so hats off to them all.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good job that water pipe. I just changed drinkers and rerouted water pipe in a shed of my own last week. I always put ducting over my water pipe either in the ground of above. Your insulation is good to keep the frost of it up inside that wall, but I would of put some ducting over that aswell it. A mouse or rat would love that insulation and the duct would just give it added protection the same as your electrical wire.
Just a thought, how about adding a fire hydrant attachment to your Bulk Water tank so in case of a house fire your fire brigade can have easy access to water if you have a house fire. My late Uncle in Hampshire put an outdoor swimming pool through the farm accounts as a static water tank in case of fire by attaching a fire hydrant to it.😊
Fair play Adrian another cracking video (although I’m late to watch). Only thing I could recommend would be to be able to possibly have a retractable hose reel? Fair play though a man of all trades (a master at nearly all too I see)! 23:28
Continues upgrading and investment adds to the viability and sustainability of the whole operation. Your attention to detail is highly commendable as is your ‘quirky’ sense of humour. Your videos are both instuctive, informative and entertaining. 😊
That’s a pragmatic solution with that statement about the rcd the jobs a good un. I am a sparks by the way and I’ve worked on a few farms because that’s all that’s really out in Suffolk 😂. Worked on quite a few Grain Driers in my time. And I have discovered some weird and wonderful installation’s and some that are just down right dangerous and a serious threat to life. I am going to give you the honour of being the finest Farmer/Sparks in the whole of Ireland 10 out of 10 Adrian, seriously professional especially with the containment from origin to load it’s so important especially in your kind of environment 👍🏻
Oh mate you are one hell of an all rounder. Great bit of electrical work there. I maybe wouldn’t have fed it from where you did but if that’s the only capacity you had and the feed is large enough to run both circuits and it has its own rcd l wouldn’t moan too much as it makes sense to take it from there. But the quality of your work is excellent. I’ve really enjoyed watching you do this job and to see the joy in your face now that you’ve broken the back of it is priceless. You have to spend time and energy to save time and energy and you need to get your feet up for an hour or two as a reward you Legend 👌🏻
@@IFarmWeFarm The supply cable to the panel you took the power from should be changed to a larger cross sectional area . Either that or run dedicated supply to the pump. Just because it’s a power source does not mean it is suitable. You didn’t cross bond the motor to the bracket either . Isolator in the wrong position. When you work on the pump you will need to lock it in the off position because it is in a different room and out of sight. You shouldn’t be doing electrical work if you’re not qualified . If the parlour went on fire your not covered .
@@KD-ed3dti get everything checked and certified by a friend that’s qualified hence the reason you don’t actually ever see me make any electrical connections only running cables that he supplied. I mention this clearly in a previous video and the reasons why. Earth from motor to bracket was added along with a separate rcd on the board when he hooked it up. Isolation switch needs to be within 2meters of the motor which it is but we have added a switch similar to our milking machine and put the isolator on the other side above the pump. Being on RUclips makes you very self-aware and I don’t encourage anyone to take risks. Perhaps in this video i should have explained this better so I will going forward. I always appreciate the advise 👍
Just done the same kind of job in my parlour and have to say you have done an brilliant job! The time you have put into this job doesn't come across in the videos 👏
Adrian you asked if something was wrong tell you…well from an electrical point of view all isolaters should be put within arms reach no more than 2m away from your item. If you ever had to work on the pump or ever had an issue with the pump you don’t want to be running around into a separate room looking for an isolater. Otherwise Massive fan look forward every week to tune into you👍
Adrian, you are one heck of a Jack of all trades!!! I learn so much from your videos. What was your favorite subject in school as a lad?? 🤔 Thanks for sharing once again!
Add some inner tube sheet under the pump to reduce vibrations and help the pump not rust out faster. Your sure up grading the farm for better efficiency.
Great investment have one for ever . I use all water in the parlour 3 times first it goes through the plate cooler then it does the machine rince and then out to the wash down tank along with the detergent water for the next milking . The detergent water makes washing down the units easier than just water.
Adrian, excellent video as always from a long time subscriber, first time commenter! I have to say that I find your diverse range of DIY skills to be incredibly impressive! You literally can turn your hand to anything and do jobs that many wouldn't have a clue where to start. This must have saved you literally tens of thousands of notes over the years. Your skills are not only impressive to watch but very inspiring! Keep up the good work and excellent channel content. Will be passing through the border counties beginning of October - might give you a shout! 😊
Hi I don't normally comment, i feel the need to, you do an amazing job and your a funny fella. most of all you keep people like me going EBA butterfly skin sufferer, I look forward your videos don't ever stop. I really want to thank you. cheers.
It takes me right back to buckets of water and the yard brush to wash the parlour when I was in school 😊 mighty job to make use of the rainwater. Money and time well spent. Enjoyable video as always.
Great video Adrian. I remember helping a plumber to fit drinkers in an old piggery using gunmetal about 40 yrs ago and the pigs biting the ankles off me🤣, pvc the way to go, Keep up the good work.
I love watching you make thing and configure things. It will be great to have the use of that water under higher pressure. You are so accomplished. 😊👍👍
You have got to be happy with the time spent creating your workshop because you are really getting the use of it. Love watching you build things. Thanks for the video!
Hello Adrian, you c ould house a checkvalve before the pump, in combination a pressurevessel af ter the pump. When you house a bit water, the pump doesn't have to turn, and you hold your pressure better.
Farmers here in the US sometimes get a bad reputation for making quick and dirty repairs that are not what a professional would do. Your work looks to me to be every bit as good as what you would expect from a professional plumber or electrician. I'm not an expert but have done similar repairs and upgrades around my own home and I think your work is top notch! That pump made a huge difference in the water pressure for the milking parlour. Hope it ends up saving you some time and money! -mike
Great upgrade for the parlour, more efficient, saves time, what's not to like. Think your idea of linking up your pipes is a good one, make sure though you have a non returnable valve, it will stop any contamination from your tank water to mains. Re your cows and dirty feet have you thought about a foot bath, not sure what's needed though to have one or their expense. Just think how boring life would be if all the mistakes were edited out, thank god for U-tube. 👍
What a great video to show what can be achieved with a little bit of thought that makes a huge difference. Always seem to get a wee tip from your content. 👏
Hi Adrian to speak up washing. Open the hose behond normal till the water is in a wide fan. Will wash out as fast as in a point hard without splashing shit everywhere.
Hi Adrian. Iv always found them red volume washer heads useless compared to the blue ANKA volume washer heads. Makes it like you nearly have double the pressure. Been using them for years.👍
Great installation Adrian. Piping is 40mm blue mdpe . Better off not using flexible hose as it will corrode and will need replacing after a few years. Silage tape is a good idea on the self seal insulation as it will water proof and weather proof it somewhat and vermin less likely to nibble as they love the taste of the insulation. Love the attention to detail.Super tidy job.👏👌 Gotta be worth more than a fiver 😜😂
We are always learning - that makes things fun to work on and complete projects! You are entertaining and do a good job in explaining what you are trying to accomplish! Great job! Take care and be safe...
Good to see all is well. Could you talk about your milk? Like from the cows making milk to milking shipping and processing. It would really be interesting to see. When we milked in the 1970s in Wisconsin, US for several years the milk was shipped to Florida and turned into milky way candy bars. Then in the later years we shipped to a small cheese factory for cheese milking. I for one would find what happens to your milk incredibly Interesting. Stay safe, as always enjoyed watching what you share. Hope your dad is home and on the mend.
@@IFarmWeFarm be careful about the spray foam insulation, I can tell you there is a big clamp down on using this stuff in houses as it acts as an accelerant in the case of a fire.
Congrats, looks a great job. Might be worth hanging a hook/holder at the end of the parlour at hip hight to hold the hooze nozzle when not in use so you do not have to reach down too much and strain your back. Might be worth painting the parlour walls with a non stick parlour paint and help keep the walls clean as the new hooze tends to splatter more of the wall with water and muck.
Best thing we ever did was put a overhead pull switch in in the middle of the parlor so you dont have to run in and out to turn the pump on and off. Also add a hook at waist height to hook the nozzle onto (saves the old back)
Instead of them white plastic clips that will crack and break,you could add in "Mupro" pipe clamps alongside some treaded bar for a much sturdier clip which can be set depending on distance from wall.
I think you are using the large red hose nozzle. The smaller nozzle is far better. Better pressure and you get a better spray. The black part of the nozzle can remain in the pipe, just change the red part. Worth changing.
A very good job indeed. If you are going to put outlets on the 'back wall' (the wall closest to the yard and the crush), which I presume the hose will connect to, would it perhaps be useful to have hose reel on the wall to wrap it up quickly when you've done? Having the hose trail you when you are washing up would make it easier and probably safer and then a quick crank of the reel to wrap it all up for the next day. I hope you understand what I mean and I hope that I've understood what you eventually intend to do do correctly.
Great video and editing. Lovely work you're doing. The leak might be the PTFE tape going on the wrong direction, easy fixed. Also, if you had to use the gun barrel, you could buy whats called barrel nipples, short pieces of pipe already threaded both ends, and you just cut them in half and weld them to the lengths of pipe you need to use. It's a bit slow but saves hiring a threading machine.
I have been using thread sealant rather than PFTE tape. Never had a leak since. I didn't like the Permatex stuff I got from a car parts retailer as while it worked, it was a bit thick nad gloopy and hence messy to use. The Loxseal Itap ROL075 from a pipe and engineers supplier is awesome. Faster than tape, never had a leak, can be disassemled later and is lested for gas like LPG, where a leak as a bit more major than a wet spot on the floor.
Adrian, I would put the newly installed and insulated water pipe into a 3” (75mm) pvc (downpipe), because if a cat finds that insulation they will scratch at it and destroy it, also keep the weather off the insulation. Just a suggestion from some experience. Love the videos keep them going.
For ur steel fabrication an evolution chop saw would be a great job. Far better than an angle grinder for cutting steel. TP blade that just last and the cuts are all square. Best £250 I spent
It’s funny you mentioned that, i had a makita chop saw for years up until a month ago when the motor burnt out. I have an evolution circular steel saw a got last year but just bought a Rotabroach chop saw to replace the other one this week. Haven’t used it yet
Cold cut blade as opposed to an abrasive disk like angle grinder, less heat and dust, cut is cold to touch immediately, cuts 3 times faster.......but blades are more expensive, well worth the money
Cracking upgrade 👌 👏 👍🏻.. could you run a pipe up inside the side rails? Would keep it protected and end up at the other end of the shed... Maby not practically though if there's not a good entry exit or obstruction in the rail pipe itself.. stay safe 🏴
Another great video Adrian I would put a drain on the pump for winter to drain the system just in case of frost damage to the casing of the pump should be a drain at the bottom of the casing probably 3/8 bsp also put a drain on the outside of the building just drain down in winter.
Best way to avoid splashing when washing down I find is to open it up abit more, you’ll get more water and less pressure. You’ll figure it out as you use it more. Long time subscriber first time commenter. Love and watch every video 👌

Anything you don’t know how to build, modify or do like a pro??? ❤️ Your an inspirational humble man.
Connecting the electric wires was edited out, probably got an electrician for that part, surely.
Continues upgrading and investment adds to the viability and sustainability of the whole operation. Your attention to detail is highly commendable as is your ‘quirky’ sense of humour. Your videos are both instuctive, informative and entertaining. 😊
Free water every body should be doing this great investment . It's money well spent . Great job Adrian

Run the conduit through the wall and then into the isolator switch on the wall above the pump
Easy fix, cut the wire and put another isolator beside the pump. Leave the existing one in place to turn off the pump from the parlour
Adrian, you are one heck of a Jack of all trades!!! I learn so much from your videos. What was your favorite subject in school as a lad?? 🤔 Thanks for sharing once again!
Great job, will save so much time and money. And the parlour floor looks clean enough to eat your dinner off.

Ever thought of getting a firehose and reel that they have inside buildings?
It would keep the hose out the way and its a long reach
Nice 1 Adrian love when you do a project and youl give anything a go very commendable 👏👏👏👍
Great job, Adrian
Great video ur a very tidy worker
Great job and ultimately a good savings. Solar panels at some stage? We have them & save a lot annually and get paid a little bit too. 👏👏👍
Good video one point regarding the isolation switch for the pump wrong side of the wall
It's very handy when you can do all this work yourself Adrian. I wonder what it would cost for someone else to do it 😮.
Hello Adrian, you c ould house a checkvalve before the pump, in combination a pressurevessel af ter the pump. When you house a bit water, the pump doesn't have to turn, and you hold your pressure better.
You have amazing skill added to friendly manner love your vidoes
Amazing! Beautiful job. I love to watch you work.😊
5:15 I would put an old piece of your cowmats between the pump and the bracket. Dampens a lot of fibrations!
Another great video. The attention to detail you take in every job is spot on.Keep up the good work.
Another great video has always Adrian Sinead and girls 👍

Great video Adrian some job that is now 💪👌
The joy in the man’s face says it all! Nice work Adrian. Did have a wee giggle at the bucket supposedly collecting the filings… 😂
You can get a pressure switch for top of pump so it starts and stops itself as you open and close nozzle on end of pipe.
That’s it we fitted, it’s doesn’t kick in on less there’s a flow of water

Fantastic video from the Longford girl
Amazing with ur hands and getting jobs done well done good to see
Fit a frost heater in the room with the pump and wrap the pipe in each direction with heat tracer tape. Both will keep the water going when frosty
I will look that up, going to get the roof insulated with spray foam and definitely fit a heater of some sort
Some man
@@IFarmWeFarm be careful about the spray foam insulation, I can tell you there is a big clamp down on using this stuff in houses as it acts as an accelerant in the case of a fire.
Super job making use of the rain water and well
Nice one enjoyed 👏👏🚜🏴
Great job Adrian well done, enjoyed the video, funny how watching other people working is so satisfying 😂 good luck to you and yours
Milking parlours need good powerful water supply to wash them down after each milking.
Congrats, looks a great job.
Might be worth hanging a hook/holder at the end of the parlour at hip hight to hold the hooze nozzle when not in use so you do not have to reach down too much and strain your back.
Might be worth painting the parlour walls with a non stick parlour paint and help keep the walls clean as the new hooze tends to splatter more of the wall with water and muck.
Best thing we ever did was put a overhead pull switch in in the middle of the parlor so you dont have to run in and out to turn the pump on and off. Also add a hook at waist height to hook the nozzle onto (saves the old back)
That’s 2 super ideas 👌
The uncle had that when I was a kid, just like the one in your bathroom.
@@masseyman3552 exactly that!
You will have a lot more dirty water to get rid of. Save time in parlour and spend longer spreading slurry. I think p washer is better
@@DjDj-ww6rhthat’s the idea more water in tanks to keep it like liquid safe time in long run drawing water to the tanks
Instead of them white plastic clips that will crack and break,you could add in "Mupro" pipe clamps alongside some treaded bar for a much sturdier clip which can be set depending on distance from wall.
I think you are using the large red hose nozzle. The smaller nozzle is far better. Better pressure and you get a better spray. The black part of the nozzle can remain in the pipe, just change the red part. Worth changing.

The leak might be the PTFE tape going on the wrong direction, easy fixed.

Never knew this 👍

Interesting Adrian. Looks like a good flow there at the end.
Best way to avoid splashing when washing down I find is to open it up abit more, you’ll get more water and less pressure. You’ll figure it out as you use it more. Long time subscriber first time commenter. Love and watch every video 👌
