It feels like the big pipe is just used as a sleeve, and it is the small pipe that is connected to the feeding pipe, and when you put the valve on the end around the big pipe, the water travels backwards between the smaller and the bigger pipe, ending up in the ground.
Isn't the larger tube used as a protective tube for the smaller tube to protect it against vehicles driving over the road? That might explain the new leak you found, which you possibly created by pulling on it with the truck.
maybe the surrounding pipe ends where the leak is. by putting the valve on the outside pipe, makes the water flow in it and overflow there where the surrounding pipe ends.
The thicker pipe was a liner for the actual pipe going through the wall. So now you caused another leak by pulling on the actual pipe and it either broke further up or you pulled it out of a joint. Facepalm
I think it's the same reason why we enjoy seeing pressure washing videos. You take something that is ugly and disorderly, and see it being transformed into something smooth, orderly, and beautiful. Idk, that's just my take on it lol
yes ! i’m always excited by excess resources. in my state in australia we have a lot of paddock stone and i eye it off when i’m driving around hahah ! I could use that!!!
I recommend you skim your ponds and stock them with some algea eating fish if they dont get completly dried up in summer. That way you got good biomass to compost (the algea and other stuff=)), some fish to eat or keep as cleaning crew pets. That way you also get some basic fertilizer in the water from the fish poop. On top of that the bodies of water are cleaner to swim in than if you just let algea and other stuff grow in it. In the worst case a bad algea bloom makes the whole water into a kinda stinky swamp like water if you just have stagnant pools of water. talking from experience with such stagnant water reservoirs that turn into stiky swamps :D
Did some research. Mimosa resin is water soluble and toxic to aquatic life, and its seed pods are toxic to humans and animals. Frogs and salamanders are drawn to the swamp so far, but high levels of nitrogen or phosphorous (fertilizer runoff?) could explain the algae outbreaks. The silty muck on the bottom of the pond might already be an eluvial concentrated fertilizer, or it may be decades of decayed detritus stuck in anaerobic phase. Last season when they mucked out the swamp I noticed the mud was bubbling a lot (methane/CO2?) once exposed to air. They put the muck on the land and I'm curious to see how well things grew there after seeding. Did silty clay crust over and choke it out? Worthy of sampling and testing. PH extremes will indicate what's needful. I'd include samples following the water back to whatever runoff from neighboring properties/mineral concentrates from geologic formations that may be contributing to the situation. It's not ready for fish, but someday it would be nice to see another rehabilitated habitat for native species. Marsh reeds usually do a good job of scrubbing the water a bit. Importing some native species from southern Portugal (see VILAMOURA REEDBEDS) might curb erosion and speed things along. Offer them a happy home, they'd hopefully displace the invasive high maintenance bramble and cane.
regarding the waterpipe. Dig and follow it below the road. I think the small pipe is the waterpipe and the bigger one is just a casing to protect it. That is why you couldn't get it out.
Applying lime plaster directly on to brick without a metal mesh surface will result in the plaster cracking along the brick joint lines and crumbling of in the future, the mesh acts like a bind that locks everything together.
Without being too critical there were also some quite dangerous uses of tools. For starters if you're cutting masonry of any kind, especially concrete and stone, you absolutely need to wear a respirator. The dust that goes everywhere is full of silica- there's no known safe level of exposure. That shit gets in your lungs.....
I believe, as with most other builds in Kamp, they're going for deliberate compromises between "this is good for the near future" and "it has to be sustainable". I'm certain they know how to learn about and build things better, nicer and longer lasting. But this whole endeavour is about experimenting and producing results at a low cost and with limited resources. Therefore suboptimal implementations might just be the best cost/benefit for the time being.
Props to Dave for taking on the wet and dirty work that no one wants to do. Looks like the internet plumber has diagnosed the issue. I only hope the lag between posting this and digging up that leak wasn’t too long as no amount of fiddling will fix it if the valve is on what turns out to be a protective outer pipe
You wouldn’t guess what peoples on youtube can solve. It’s real lifesaver for many… I learn very rare and useful stuff from youtube comments that from videos sometimes. It’s like a treasure sometimes.
Looking great guys! If I can give some unsolicited safety advice: You may want to consider wearing respirators in the future while doing stonework and mixing cements. The particles are very fine and when inhaled can cause lung issues, especially over the long term. Can't wait for the next update :) Edit: now I think about it, it's good practice while doing woodwork as well. fine sawdust particles can cause the same issues.
I think about this ALL THE TIME when I see them working with such fine dust so close to their inhalatory system 😭 I hope they listen, silicosis is no joke
@@lukiwasyl9564 I know, it upsets me a little, I mean I still like a lot what they do and will stick to their channel, but in some cases they improved it because of us commenting about it so much hahhahha like when they were working on roofs and ended up using harnesses
I hope you can get the leak fixed quickly so that you're not wasting water. You could also get some solar powered fountains for the stinky swamp, which will aerate the water and make it less easy for algae to grow. My mum used one on her garden pond when it started getting algae, and it cleared it all within weeks. She did have to scoop out the clumps, but afterwards, it was always clear. That would make your swamp less stinky and the water safer for you to utilise. I like that you buried some of the mimosa - less fuel for potential fires! If you can get the manpower, you could bury the mimosas that you use to create swales and berms as well. That way, you'd be utilising the wood, but having it buried would mean that it's far less likely to catch fire. It's a lot more work than just layering the wood across the land, but it would catch more water flowing down the hills, making the land harder to burn completely, and it would also give you the opportunity to create more water storage areas, again to help mitigate any fires that come your way. Whatever you decide, i think you're all doing a brilliant job! I can't wait to see what you do with the fridge trailer! Good luck, Project Kamp!
Honest question: What exactly is the water from that lake good for? Certainly not for drinking or showering? So I'm guessing for watering plants and gardens? Impromptu fire fighting sources?
My son was on a bench hunt with a magnifying glass all this morning. He could not find any🙂. He suggests that you construct benches and place them along the paths. Greetings from a subscriber and his son who enjoy Project Kamp in the mythical land of Somalia!
I love this channel and cannot wait every time for the next update. ONE THING .... stone dust in your longs is killing and will not easy disappear .... PLEASE when working with stone dust ... wear a mask. ❤❤❤
In the drone shot at 00:19, you can see the effects of a "desire path" in full effect. Even though in the past video a new bridge was built, the people coming out of the office still opt to take the most direct route, ignoring the bridge. And yes, some of that path may be from before that bridge existed. But at 00:15 in this video, you actually see someone in the background not using the bride.
we have such a funny desire path in our city. the tram gets off and most people want to cross there so they do straight across a tram line and three lanes of traffic. I laugh about how much of a planning fail it was.
what a space to live and learn in! I am older generation and if I was 40 years younger I certainly would love to join you ;-) It is great to see how everyone either comes with certain skills and expertise and brings it to the table. There is loads of learning for everyone involved as well which is something that has been lost over the last 40 years as I have observed with concern. Now I am confident for the future of our planet! Thank you for doing this! It is all we need to build a better world! ;-)
How about using a swivel joint to raises the pipe above the water level and that you can turn below water level in case you want water below? Also, be careful with swimming into water with all that algae, I think you could get some nasty bacteria from it. Basically, you want more aquatic plant in and around that pond. They will take up the nutrients that feed the algae. The shade is good, algae love sunlight. You can make floating planter boxes as well, that way those plants don't get nutrients from the soil, but take all the nutrients from the water. You'd be amazed about the results! Also, an overflow skimmer pipe can wash away leaves and sticks that fall in after every heavy rain. Go on a fieldtrip and propagate some native semi-aquatic and aquatic plants, and once established you'll have a second swimming spot! Anyway, love what you're doing! Greetings from Romania!

The end of the pipe that is in the pond: I feel like you could attach a float to it or something that would keep it higher in the water, which would reduce the risk of clogging. I was surprised watching the last few videos that y'all had to keep finding it.
It is such a pleasure to watch you all grow in your knowledge, coming together as a team and pulling together through all the challenges, while we here on the RUclips get to watch and learn from y’all! My dream is to be apart of this beautiful team one day soon and I will be apply for season five!!! :-/)
I was just watching a video, where if you save your coffee grounds and your sawdust, and the shavings from wood projects, you can make pressed bricks to use for firewood!
was the bigger pipe not a sleeve for the road?.. so the water is traveling down the smaller pipe and then going back up the out pipe to were it ends just the other side of the tracks?... good luck..
Yea it didn’t seem like it was meant to come out. If this is right, does that mean that the sleeve is getting flooded now since the connector is the size of the sleeve and not the pipe?
That was my exact thought since the moment they tried to pull the pipe the first time, the way it was returning was a tell-tale sign. Was anticipating it to leak. And leak, leak it did. 😅😅😅😅 will have to see it in the next episode....
nice update! probably not a good idea to pull on a tube with a truck when you dont know if its double sheathed or not. If its not broken dont fix it is a pretty good rule to follow when dealing with old pipes/ equipment, Can create a whole lot of extra work
Wonderful to see another update at the Kamp! I was so waiting for Dave to say "spiky booshes" as he explains the next Digger project near the pig trailer!
Great video s always. Some ideas. For the room you finished the ceiling plaster. Add a small porch with a roof for door prectection against rain damage Then you pipe issue. I think you pipe at community center is a pipe over another pipe as protection. Smaller pipe is water pipe bigger pipe I just a sleeve. Then at source dam. Build a wall where pipe goes through then fit valve to easily access the water valve
As everyone else has said, put the valve at the end of the pipe into the smaller pipe you were trying to remove. The larger pipe is just a sleeve and the water is now backflowing between them and creating a seep across the road.
Agree, but sections of the pipe too close to the surface may have already cracked due to winter exposure. There's a pretty high chance both pipes (water pipe and cover sleeve) are going to have to be replaced between office & community center.
I know others have mentioned this, but it seemed rather clear to me that in regard to the two sizes of water pipes coming out at that corner, that the smaller pipe is the actual water line and the larger pipe is a 'chase' or protector for the smaller pipe as it runs under the road. It would appear, with all of your tugging and pulling, that you damaged the smaller pipe back where you then found water coming from the ground, and you will need to dig back there to repair that smaller pipe. If you dig through the road or the driveway there, you will find the larger pipe is just that: a protective pipe for the smaller pipe. You're gonna have to repair that smaller pipe...and may have to follow it back to find where it begins.
May want to get some gravel or crushed stone (or even broken up bricks/tiles) to put on the roads with a significant slope to them as Portuguese rainy season can turn uncovered roads to streams and erode them. May also want to look into what landscapers call "French drains" to divert runoff, though proper placement of these can be more challenging than it might first seem.
I don't think traditional French drains would be able to handle the volume that I've seen from the Portuguese rainstorms, but there are definitely a lot of options to divert water into a culvert sides of the road. They could even use smaller mimosas to line the culverts and limit erosion.
@@k.j.broadley6786 Yes, and improperly installed or set up drains would probably cause even worse erosion. Culverts might be the best, however, this would suggest setting up what could become a substantial drainage system. Which would quickly become a kind of engineering matter. Nevertheless, I think some sort of semi-permiable "pavement" on roads that go down slopes will become necessary. Crushed stone would probably be best, but it isn't the only option. I really like what they are doing. One perhaps minor aspect of the mimosas: they don't like shade. Once the native oaks get some size to themselves, they will begin to shade out the mimosas. Unfortunately, this will result in a lot of dead wood piling up.
@@k.j.broadley6786 a base of rip rap (crude cut rock) on the edge of the roads would slow the velocity of water drainage to prevent erosion. Perforated pipe diversion channels leading to the established creek, well, swales and swamp would be a good project to consider in the future.
Hey guys!! That looks amazing the plaster worked out perfect so to see!!! Great seeing such skilled people Finishing it!❤️❤️!! Have a great season! Groetjes uit Nederland!
Maybe consider digging down to the pipe a short ways away from the pond edge . With the pipe exposed cut it and install a clean-out in case it clogs again if you can only push up. Better to have clean out upstream so clogs are pushed back to your water source. At the same time install a shut-off valve with an extended vertical stem. The long stem will allow you to operate the shut-off valve above grade when the the access hole you dig is back filled. No more need for rocks or even getting into the water to shut down the water flow. BOOM, A few problems solved. Also, the inside pipe is the actual supply line like everyone is saying. You could also check that by size of pipe when you expose that by the lake if you want to know for sure. Good Luck! .
As you “landscape” around the property, IMHO you should obtain a tractor and attachments to keep the grasses cut back and prevent the weeds, etc from growing back! Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Those foldable tables have tabletop in wrong direction. Wood wants to crack along the grain, so if you accidentaly drop something or lean too hard on unsuported end it may snap.
With the type of valves used, it is pretty much all or nothing, not much in between. And I agree on the water hammer effect. These types of valves are supposed to remain in the open position unless there is a good reason (emergency, work on the downstream system) to close them. Unfortunately, they are used as end valves now.
@@arjara85 I don't think there is a leak, the problem is that the water comes through the inner pipe and flows back out between the pipes. Attaching the valve to the inner pipe should solve that "leak".
this walves will be broken fast especially in winter season from cold. they are not good also to the water with small particles which can broke the sealant. the hammer efect will also break the walvw soon. i think next season will be broken after winter time.
wow amazing work guys i love to see how much progress you are able to make in such a small time. it´s the kind of building projects you always wish to build as a kid. but compared to that no one in the real world would live with furnature that looks a bit funny. but that´s the charm of project camp.
If you take the side walls off of tires, you can place them on the roadway, pack part with dirt, topped with gravel. This will help prevent washout from rains.
I've also seen people use them on steep dirt roadways to assist traction & prevent erosion. Submerge the uncut tire just to ground level, then pack it with soil. An in situ recycle possibility at least.
1) The inner pipe was likely pulled through the outer pipe. It could have been to patch a leak that was affecting the water level, but which could not be identified along the run. So pulling that out, now, would very much be impossible. If you still want to attempt it, you'll want to wrap something around the pipe that grips pressure inward as the rope tightens. 2) Connect a compressor to the bottom end of the pipe and try putting pressure into it from there. With enough pressure, it should push debris up and out of the pipe, into the pond. If you have leaks in the pipe, however, or if you weakened the integrity of the pipe with the pulling, it may be a sub-optimal outcome, if the pressure gets too high. Check the material and what pressure it's rated to. 3) A proper snaking tool would have been MUCH better to remove the clogged cloth. What you're effectively doing is pushing the cloth further in, and likely getting it balled up even tighter in the pipe. A snake tool spins and grabs material, pulling it out instead of pushing it further in. It's designed to unclog pipework. (ah yes, i didn't make it to minute 30:00 yet - that's what you needed ;) ) 4) Be careful with slamming the tap off like that (32:26). Look up water ram and the effects it has on pipework. If you have any junctions or connections in the line, or if it's weak in one area of the run, the force of water ram might be enough to rip the pipe apart. Close those taps slowly, especially the lower one.
Hey projet kampers im a plumber by trade i believe the outer tube is a conduit for the road crossing and the leak will probably be the other end of the larger pipe or maybe its a connection that has failed because you guys gave a big pull. Also i would lift the tube in the pond off the bottom of the pond even know you have a filter it will still probably keep blocking up. Anyways i love the channle and if you have any plumbing questions id be happy to help!
Small basement room ready for use. Concerns about non-limed walls with condensation, dampness, heat and humidity. Summer and fall should be comfortable. How is the noise? Making improvements to your pond irrigation system. Figuring out where and what pipes were fire damaged. More to do.
Be careful with the door's granite top frame. Although it is a stone, it can create an arch by bending under its own weight. If so, I suggest screwing in a screw in the middle, being careful not to break the granite when drilling it.
Most entertaining! As of 6/5 only 530 comments, and probably 500 are about the pipe. You probably have some idea of the hundreds, thousands, of people yelling at their screens; even me, an 83 year-old! Thank you BERRY MUCH!
Okay, I have seen all of you doing amazing things and delivering hard work for which I have nothing but respect. But the whole part about the lamp (yes, also the macramé) ❤❤

You are so right and I am shure this is absolutly one of ther problems with the pipe.
You are totally right, they should probably ask the residents first before doing things inconsiderate
My first thought was this too, a sleeve for protection. But then they destroyed it :S Need to go back and redo that one for sure
So they might have made the leak themselves because they pulled so hard on the smaller pipe?
@@surfcoach no the leak is just the water from the small pipe going back by the big pipe
The whole pipe-ordeal feels like watching a comedy or romcom, surreal 😂 I commend your persistence
And a tragedy
Finally some problems 😂 Coming from renovating an old homestead myself they have had it way to easy
PRICELESS... DAVE ROCKS😂🤣😂🤣🤙🤙
Reminds me when I took over a 100 acre farm and I had NO idea what I was doing. It was a total comedy every time I tried to do something.
A comedy of errors 😂
Isn't the larger tube used as a protective tube for the smaller tube to protect it against vehicles driving over the road?
That might explain the new leak you found, which you possibly created by pulling on it with the truck.
Think that’s very plausible.
😊I love how project kamp responds to positive comments. It warms my heart. I love watching 😊
Yeah, makes sense, and explains why it kept shrinking back in after pulling it
that's was my thought
I agree with with this. It otherwise wouldn't make sense for a small length of pipe to be inside another pipe without it being bonded to it.
I think the pipe you are trying to pull out IS THE pipe. The surround pipe was put in or under the wall to allow it to be fed through. Maybe!
sort of like a conduit
maybe the surrounding pipe ends where the leak is. by putting the valve on the outside pipe, makes the water flow in it and overflow there where the surrounding pipe ends.
Yes!!+
The thicker pipe was a liner for the actual pipe going through the wall. So now you caused another leak by pulling on the actual pipe and it either broke further up or you pulled it out of a joint. Facepalm

Correct. I wonder if they watch any YT videos to learn how to do jobs in the best way before they start 🤔
Without being too critical there were also some quite dangerous uses of tools.

It’s not a leak. It is water flowing back into the larger pipe and exiting the other end of the larger pipe. The valve should be on the smaller pipe.

The pipe saga might be my favourite part of this series so far.
Btw....the inner pipe you are trying to remove is the pipe that carries the water.
Oh....and Spikey Booshes.
I feel we can add Granight to the mix as well 😂

Definitely. You also attach a rope to it so you can pull it towards you.
The tables, lamp, shoe racks and how yall hid the cord look great!
2:49 great use of hearing protection! 😆
It is such a pleasure to watch you all grow in your knowledge, coming together as a team and pulling together through all the challenges, while we here on the RUclips get to watch and learn from y’all! My dream is to be apart of this beautiful team one day soon and I will be apply for season five!!! :-/)
Great update! The lower part of the ruin came together nicely.
Dave and the others deserve a medal for going into that pond. There is no way I would get in there
Leaches!!!!
What you all have done with this property is nothing short of fantastic!!
I love it, that you use the Mimosa for something useful
I was just watching a video, where if you save your coffee grounds and your sawdust, and the shavings from wood projects, you can make pressed bricks to use for firewood!
I love the begining of this épisode very organic with Colline and Co. Nice job guys more and more exciting each épisode. 😊
was the bigger pipe not a sleeve for the road?.. so the water is traveling down the smaller pipe and then going back up the out pipe to were it ends just the other side of the tracks?... good luck..
Yea it didn’t seem like it was meant to come out. If this is right, does that mean that the sleeve is getting flooded now since the connector is the size of the sleeve and not the pipe?
Haha looks like a sleep to me too
Exactly
That was my exact thought since the moment they tried to pull the pipe the first time, the way it was returning was a tell-tale sign. Was anticipating it to leak. And leak, leak it did. 😅😅😅😅 will have to see it in the next episode....
The pipe saga continues! lol! Love the LED light that Monique made!
The pipe might have been a sleeve and all the pulling broke the smaller pipe thus the leak. Live and learn. Love it 🤩
Lord you folks are coordinated. Watching you from Alaska, USA.
nice update! probably not a good idea to pull on a tube with a truck when you dont know if its double sheathed or not. If its not broken dont fix it is a pretty good rule to follow when dealing with old pipes/ equipment, Can create a whole lot of extra work
Wonderful to see another update at the Kamp! I was so waiting for Dave to say "spiky booshes" as he explains the next Digger project near the pig trailer!
the drill sound match with the music beat, nice touch video maker team
Great video s always. Some ideas.
For the room you finished the ceiling plaster. Add a small porch with a roof for door prectection against rain damage
Then you pipe issue. I think you pipe at community center is a pipe over another pipe as protection. Smaller pipe is water pipe bigger pipe I just a sleeve.
Then at source dam. Build a wall where pipe goes through then fit valve to easily access the water valve
As everyone else has said, put the valve at the end of the pipe into the smaller pipe you were trying to remove. The larger pipe is just a sleeve and the water is now backflowing between them and creating a seep across the road.
Agree, but sections of the pipe too close to the surface may have already cracked due to winter exposure. There's a pretty high chance both pipes (water pipe and cover sleeve) are going to have to be replaced between office & community center.
I know others have mentioned this, but it seemed rather clear to me that in regard to the two sizes of water pipes coming out at that corner, that the smaller pipe is the actual water line and the larger pipe is a 'chase' or protector for the smaller pipe as it runs under the road.
It would appear, with all of your tugging and pulling, that you damaged the smaller pipe back where you then found water coming from the ground, and you will need to dig back there to repair that smaller pipe. If you dig through the road or the driveway there, you will find the larger pipe is just that: a protective pipe for the smaller pipe. You're gonna have to repair that smaller pipe...and may have to follow it back to find where it begins.
May want to get some gravel or crushed stone (or even broken up bricks/tiles) to put on the roads with a significant slope to them as Portuguese rainy season can turn uncovered roads to streams and erode them. May also want to look into what landscapers call "French drains" to divert runoff, though proper placement of these can be more challenging than it might first seem.
I don't think traditional French drains would be able to handle the volume that I've seen from the Portuguese rainstorms, but there are definitely a lot of options to divert water into a culvert sides of the road. They could even use smaller mimosas to line the culverts and limit erosion.
@@k.j.broadley6786 Yes, and improperly installed or set up drains would probably cause even worse erosion. Culverts might be the best, however, this would suggest setting up what could become a substantial drainage system. Which would quickly become a kind of engineering matter. Nevertheless, I think some sort of semi-permiable "pavement" on roads that go down slopes will become necessary. Crushed stone would probably be best, but it isn't the only option.
I really like what they are doing. One perhaps minor aspect of the mimosas: they don't like shade. Once the native oaks get some size to themselves, they will begin to shade out the mimosas. Unfortunately, this will result in a lot of dead wood piling up.
@@k.j.broadley6786 a base of rip rap (crude cut rock) on the edge of the roads would slow the velocity of water drainage to prevent erosion. Perforated pipe diversion channels leading to the established creek, well, swales and swamp would be a good project to consider in the future.
Couldn't wait to see you next video! :)
Hey guys!!
That looks amazing the plaster worked out perfect so to see!!! Great seeing such skilled people Finishing it!❤️❤️!!
Have a great season!
Groetjes uit Nederland!
The roadmaking is always so satisfying to watch!
The pipe that you want to remove, I think it is the pipe that transports the water, the outer pipe is only a protector to avoid breakages.
Maybe consider digging down to the pipe a short ways away from the pond edge . With the pipe exposed cut it and install a clean-out in case it clogs again if you can only push up. Better to have clean out upstream so clogs are pushed back to your water source. At the same time install a shut-off valve with an extended vertical stem. The long stem will allow you to operate the shut-off valve above grade when the the access hole you dig is back filled. No more need for rocks or even getting into the water to shut down the water flow. BOOM, A few problems solved. Also, the inside pipe is the actual supply line like everyone is saying. You could also check that by size of pipe when you expose that by the lake if you want to know for sure. Good Luck!

I loved your music choices for this video! I also loved seeing the turnable mimosa lamp and the folding desks! Wonderful re-use and recycling!
As you “landscape” around the property, IMHO you should obtain a tractor and attachments to keep the grasses cut back and prevent the weeds, etc from growing back! Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Quality of videos has gone up which I thought was impossible, nice work!
Those foldable tables have tabletop in wrong direction.
Wood wants to crack along the grain, so if you accidentaly drop something or lean too hard on unsuported end it may snap.
yeay! New Project Kamp! Hello Dave and Rita and Julie and the whole crew! Hope all is well with you wonderful people
Next time you get plumbing equipment, I'd find a cap that you can use for the underwater pipe, rather than a rock.
I look forward each week to project kamp I really would love more frequent updates though. Thanks for a great RUclips
Please open and close the valves more slowly! Shutting them this fast can cause damage to the whole system by creating a water hammer effect.
With the type of valves used, it is pretty much all or nothing, not much in between. And I agree on the water hammer effect. These types of valves are supposed to remain in the open position unless there is a good reason (emergency, work on the downstream system) to close them. Unfortunately, they are used as end valves now.
Probably what caused the leak in the first place.
@@arjara85 I don't think there is a leak, the problem is that the water comes through the inner pipe and flows back out between the pipes. Attaching the valve to the inner pipe should solve that "leak".
@@apveening I guess we'll find out next Monday!
this walves will be broken fast especially in winter season from cold. they are not good also to the water with small particles which can broke the sealant. the hammer efect will also break the walvw soon. i think next season will be broken after winter time.
13:51 That was perfect in tune with the music
I love that bro was dropping Fbombs about the pond
wow amazing work guys i love to see how much progress you are able to make in such a small time. it´s the kind of building projects you always wish to build as a kid. but compared to that no one in the real world would live with furnature that looks a bit funny. but that´s the charm of project camp.
Love when you combine your different skills to make different stuff with purposes 💪👏👏
timelapes with the digger are awesome!!
Perseverance at the highest level
Bravo ! L'ingéniosité des créatifs embellit l'espace ! ❤
If you take the side walls off of tires, you can place them on the roadway, pack part with dirt, topped with gravel. This will help prevent washout from rains.
I've also seen people use them on steep dirt roadways to assist traction & prevent erosion. Submerge the uncut tire just to ground level, then pack it with soil. An in situ recycle possibility at least.
Man the person operating that digger was such a pro
1) The inner pipe was likely pulled through the outer pipe. It could have been to patch a leak that was affecting the water level, but which could not be identified along the run. So pulling that out, now, would very much be impossible. If you still want to attempt it, you'll want to wrap something around the pipe that grips pressure inward as the rope tightens.
2) Connect a compressor to the bottom end of the pipe and try putting pressure into it from there. With enough pressure, it should push debris up and out of the pipe, into the pond. If you have leaks in the pipe, however, or if you weakened the integrity of the pipe with the pulling, it may be a sub-optimal outcome, if the pressure gets too high. Check the material and what pressure it's rated to.
3) A proper snaking tool would have been MUCH better to remove the clogged cloth. What you're effectively doing is pushing the cloth further in, and likely getting it balled up even tighter in the pipe. A snake tool spins and grabs material, pulling it out instead of pushing it further in. It's designed to unclog pipework. (ah yes, i didn't make it to minute 30:00 yet - that's what you needed ;) )
4) Be careful with slamming the tap off like that (32:26). Look up water ram and the effects it has on pipework. If you have any junctions or connections in the line, or if it's weak in one area of the run, the force of water ram might be enough to rip the pipe apart. Close those taps slowly, especially the lower one.
I always have pleasure & laughings when watching your weekly update, thank you all for these good moments !!!!!
There are 3 things that you can watch and relax - how water flows, how fire burns, and a timelapse of cutting mimosas 😂
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Hahaha, I don't know why you're not getting into the pond happily 😂
Loved the finishings on the bottom room of the ruin.
Hey projet kampers
im a plumber by trade i believe the outer tube is a conduit for the road crossing and the leak will probably be the other end of the larger pipe or maybe its a connection that has failed because you guys gave a big pull.
Also i would lift the tube in the pond off the bottom of the pond even know you have a filter it will still probably keep blocking up.
Anyways i love the channle and if you have any plumbing questions id be happy to help!
@jacksback8290 backflow devices and checkvalves might also be helpful, don't you think?
Room and doorway looks great. I'm sure you'll figure out the pipe thing !😊
Well done to all of you the place is getting fixed quickly, good luck for the future
brilliant work guys, always enjoy catching up on Mondays
Small basement room ready for use. Concerns about non-limed walls with condensation, dampness, heat and humidity. Summer and fall should be comfortable. How is the noise?
Making improvements to your pond irrigation system. Figuring out where and what pipes were fire damaged. More to do.
My autism cannot cope 😅😅 in the past it was always "Welcome to a new project Kamp update video" now the word video was dropped in the intro 😱😱😱
Beautifully done! Lime plaster on the granite walls in the under ruin would look good too, if the room proves too dark.
the room shouldn't be too bright though coz I think it would make a really good sex room and sex in the dark is sweeter, right?
@@Nania-gc9fh *Sigh*
this looks like so much fun to be a part of. what a dream to attend.
EXCELLENT episode!!
Be careful with the door's granite top frame. Although it is a stone, it can create an arch by bending under its own weight. If so, I suggest screwing in a screw in the middle, being careful not to break the granite when drilling it.
Most entertaining! As of 6/5 only 530 comments, and probably 500 are about the pipe. You probably have some idea of the hundreds, thousands, of people yelling at their screens; even me, an 83 year-old! Thank you BERRY MUCH!
I'm excited about the pipe, I wonder where the water is leaking :D please show us the progress of the pipe in the next episode, it's great to watch
Always Fantastic Krafts and Upgrades and some Water Fun 😂🤣🤣👍👍. Go Dave Go, stay on it , yur gettin there.🤙🤙
Been watching since year 1 and still watching 😀
You go Monique…that was amazing.
Okay, I have seen all of you doing amazing things and delivering hard work for which I have nothing but respect. But the whole part about the lamp (yes, also the macramé) ❤❤
Advice from an afab person: Always attach a string to the thing you want to clog things with!
.........ehehehehehe
As a fellow afab person: 🤣🤣🤣
The energy of colene love it😍
great work guys.......................
I loved the section on Project Kamp vs the pipe :):):)
