I love how the stones are coming out !! Jetwashing is definitely the way to go , great ingenuity guys . You maybe should consider having a permanent pump in the well so you dont have to keep swapping all the time. Keep up the good work !!
Thanks Mark and yes something we should add just didnt want spend on a second ❤
Hi guys . Your doing great and having fun that’s what matters. Maybe it’s the float stitch on your pump. It’s got to be over the level of the pump to work .. if it drops below the level of the pump it automatically cuts off. You may need to tie it up with string. But don’t let it run dry. Maybe you already know this . But it’s worth trying 😊
Thanks for the tips James and the kind words 💚
Fill the. IBC to capacity, put a fitting on that allows you to use the hose pipe and let gravity do its thing.
Thanks for sharing going to check this out :)
Please point the walls with lime morter when you do. It will be exquisite 😍
❤
Lime and hemp straw
I was just going to write the same thing. I’m sure that it will be beautiful when you’ve finished. 🥰
ABSOLUTELY! Remove the Portland mortar and repoint with lime!
Just watched your latest video, jet washing the walls. That granite has come up beautifully. I’ve been following another guy in Italy who has a similar kind of property (Martyn doolaard) there’s some really good tips he’s learnt for preparing walls like those, pointing and tools. Key things I’d mention if you don’t get much time, using the drill and a wire wheel will get some more from the cracks, and to tidy up the pointing afterwards. He also sprayed the walls with some kind of insecticide as there were bugs living in the walls. Then a line breathable mortar for your pointing. That will help combat mould and damp.
Maybe, if you let us know what you’re “tackling in the next few weeks”, we can give you some ideas or if there’s a process or part that you’re struggling with we can help.
All the best and love watching you guys Si x
Martijn Doolaard
Thanks for the correct spelling 😊
Hey Simon thanks for sharing. Will check it out Si and yes some great stuff there we have lots to think about we are continue to prep ready to point :)
Yes, it is worth communicating with Martijn as his stone pointing method is far superior to any others I have seen on RUclips.
@@Scotty7268 what is title of video called that he demonstrates that? if you put a link in the comments it will get blocked by youtube as they dont like links for safety x
It's so good to see You Both again. Not sure wh but pressure washing does have a rewarding feeling. That stone work is going to look so cool. Enjoy be Safe and stay Strong my friends.
Thanks Tommy it really is and we cannit wait to show more :) ❤
Can’t wait for you to get your residency situated!!
It might be a good idea to dig out a foot down. Add some gravel and pour concrete. Leave 4" inches below level. Place stone with smooth side up. When you place the stone, you're gonna want to leave a gap in between the stone's to add cement. That is assuming you're going to do a stone floor. I hope you guy's do that, this will prevent unwanted guests from boring holes from the outside of home popping in unannounced. By the way I have 29 years devoted to Carpentry and Light Construction. So, if you need any tips. Just send the word and gladly share what I know. If you decide to build a floor using wood, then it is vitality important to lay concrete with less rock, to much rock leaves pockets for crackes and ultimately crumbling to occur. Here's another tip? You can mold concrete blocks yourself or what we call it Cat Blocks. Good luck out there kids?
Thanks for the comment and sharing the good tips. Thanks for that ❤
Those walls are coming up wonderfully. It's a good thing the previous owners used mud as a plaster rather than some places where they grouted the stonework with concrete.
Hey Ray and yes we agree with that there are defo some parts like that but most certainly
Hello beautiful people, maybe a skylight? 🎉😊🎉😊
yes great idea ❤
Your karcher should pump the water from the IbC without the well pump Best Wishes
few ppl have said that ❤
I hope you two are doing good, I just love ya`lls ascent. more power to ya, God bless ya both . . . keep up the hard work. where are you guys?? what country? I`ve tried to send ya`ll a few bucks but, I`m a having trouble.
Thanks so much we are in Central Portugal ❤❤
Laura, I realize you look like the painting, the lady with the pearl earrings. Let's see what Dan says!
Thanks Martin and dan says he doesn't think so either ha ❤
So lovely to see you back the walls are going to look amazing when it’s finished.❤️❤️
Thanks Maureen and we hope so ❤
Curious as to why you stopped posting videos every week? I look forward to them. What happened?
Hi Denise, we’re just trying to find a better balance with everything. Putting out a video every week is a lot of hard work so just changing to every other week to give ourselves time to enjoy here more and also hopefully create better quality videos 💚
Awesome work, guys. I see a vision of the most perfect little stone cottage, and this is only the beginning of what you will manifest! ❤
Thanks Linda and we really hope so every day we do our best ❤
Lovely to see you both again, missed yas keep up the excellent work 😊xx
Hey Wendy hope you well thanks again xx❤
Really nice! Have you thought of a row of clear metal roof panels on the roof, for natural light inside?
Thanks for sharing and ideas we defo want to add some more natural light on roof ❤
Clear metal....!?!?
....sounds a bit Star Trek to me......!!!!!
Hi Laura and Dan your doing a great job on the walls cleaning them up will look great when finished Laura is the bar going in there 🥃🍹😊
Thanks Michael and ha love it ❤
The builders most likely used a block & tackle with a heavy wooden frame/crane to place the granite blocks. You two have done a marvelous job so far in bringing out those beautiful colours and texture!!
Try running the water up the hill utilizing your water system and run the hose from the tap to the pressure washer aka 'Archer'.... be a lot easier for you
Thanks for sharing and you are probs correct its always really cool tot think about there building methods. thanks for tip to :)
That IBC was full when you lifted it back up to the truck right? *wink*wink 😊
Completely ha ❤
Every days a school day 😉👍 you make a brilliant team. Love your videos and look forward to seeing your progress each time. Well done to you both x
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Wow, Dan is right, it is going to look esquisite 😂 when you've finished. Got to hand it to you two to find a way of doing it with pumps and pressure washers. The size of those stones is unbelievable but i know one thing for sure, you are going to make the most beautiful little house out of it. Just wondering, are you thinking of putting in a small mezzanine floor for your bedroom?
Keep up the good work guys, I love watching your progress, its inspiring...best wishes from Australia (currently holidaying in Ireland 🇮🇪)
Hey Louise and thanks for that we are going to put a mezzanine in yes for sure :) its a great we to utilise the space for sure hope you have a good time in Ireland xx
Hi Guys! I'm a new subscriber and loving your journey! i too thought it wouldn't work but it has and the stones look amazing. i ' m in france and done all my walls here, with a sand blaster! Keep up the great work! can't wait for your videos. ❤❤
Thanks for subbing and yea a few people said a sand blaster but the jet wash has worked so good and cannot wait to do more ❤
You can get a sand blasting attachment to go on pressure wash you put it in silica sand and the water pulls it through the nozzle so you get a grit spray it really takes the muck off
Hey Ian thanks for sharing tip thanks ❤
It reminds me of the indie project, when they converted the tiny home that would be a good series for you to watch lots of tips and information. It’s great if you could learn by someone else’s mistakes rather than having to make them all yourself. Brilliant job though, And it will soon dry out in the heat well done good job guys 👏❤️
Thanks Suzanne and we have watched that ❤❤
Hi Laura and Dan! A joy to see you! I love the overhead shot of your home. It is so lovely and you can see God's blessings all over it. The walls look so much better and it really shows the strength of the stone. Dan's comments about the size of some of the stones is so true. I never really noticed that before. It is going to be so amazing when completed. You both cross my mind often and are always in my prayers. You know I love the "ending chat" you share with us all. It always brings me great joy and comfort to see you. A lovely couple so exceedingly blessed by God. God bless you both mightily and so much love in Christ. ~John
Hey John how you doing, yea walls are really getting there lots more to do but slowly chipping away. We really appreciate your loving words and means a lot you always so us so much support ❤
Did you name the hoover thingie "Archer" because Kärcher almost sounds like that if you try to read it in English? 🤣
Yep that's exactly why we did 😆
🤣🤣@@theoriginhomestead
It’s such an attractive barn, so old and hand made. When you’re further along, I know you’ll be amazed at how satisfying and happy you new home will be.
It’s an antique building!
Thanks for sharing.
🙋♂️🐈🐈
It really is we cannit wait to share more xx
I used a karcher K4 or get paint off my shed, it didn’t do much of a job. So I bought a cheap blasting attachment for the Karcher which meant I could blast it with tiny glass beads.
This worked by like you I was plastered with crap and water, I did the job in a day and 3 bags of glass beads, of course it did clog up a few times which I did manage to work round and I chose a hot day as I got completely soaked.
Hey Jim thanks for sharing and going to check this out thanks again
Those walls are looking canny good! I'm allowed to say that as I spent years in Newcastle ☺️ Everyday that goes by, you get closer and closer to the prize 👍🏆💪
Thanks Elone and so true love it ❤
Olá 👍🏼comment avez trouvé et acheté ce bien *_abandonné_* ??? Bienvenue 😘
Muito obrigado enviando-lhe amor xxx
Are you planning to point the stones inside? There is a machine that has a bag similar to an icing bag, but larger. it moves really quickly. your back will appreciate it lol.
We are and we have seen it but we have heard the old fashioned way works the best just using the hands ❤❤
Great start on restoring the stone barn. Like Dan pointed out, there was some serious work by many hands putting those stones in place. Just a suggestion, put in a concrete slab or concrete and stone/tile floor with a vapor barrier over sand in the barn to keep critters and moisture out. Locals will have some good advice for the floor. Good luck and continued success!
Thanks for sharing and yea we have had lots of various opinions ha thanks for sharing some good tips there xx
Have you ever talked in any of your videos about how you make a living? My husband thinks we'll absolutely need a 9-5 employment to be able to afford life, so I'm scouring all the channels I can to see what they're doing. :) I have told him of many options of remote/online work but he's not convinced.
Hey there hope you and your husband well :) its a really good question and one we both have touched on before in a video. We obviously cannot answer that question for anybody because everyone's needs and wants are completely different but for us the way we live its a very minimal way of living and week to week we wont need a lot of money. Obviously money is required to live and buy whatever you need but for us we dont have it all figured out just giving it our best shout. It may not work out but we are just trying our best xx hope that helps
Howdy Laura and Dan. Glad to see you guys again. You still amaze me with all the work you put in. I thought Laura would have gotten all muddied up with you and end up with a mud fight. 🤣. Looking great though. I think your walls will look amazing no matter what you do with the. Blessings to you both. Be safe out there.
ha love it and maybe next week get laura too ha thanks again Arnold
You mentioned your residency issues, are those sorted. I note from other sites that certain building that weren't residences before dont qualify as homes for applications for residency. I hope you are on top of this, as I admire you both. Also a little thing I learnt the hard way. Some IBC containers dont have a UV coating, and in the dry sun the plastic will become brittle and crack. I got a can of spray paint for the one of mine that hadn't disinterested. Still ok after 12months.
Thanks for sharing and we are still working on many things behind the scenes ❤ will share more as unfolds
Hello young people and welcome to my country...Your work would be better to clean the stones with sandblasting, but if you don't have it you will have to do it anyway as you are doing, you can wet first to soften it, it will be hard work and then grout and add small granite stones in deep cracks, then lower the floor to fill with gravel and make a new slab thus avoiding humidity, any questions I am at your disposal
Thanks for sharing and tips really helps and all great ideas thanks
Good to see you two are still enjoying yourselves, even though its a hard job you have taken on. Go on Laura show us your muscles as you take over from Dan - get gunning !!
ha love that Atholl hope you well ❤
Hello young people and welcome to my country...Your work would be better if you sandblasted the stones, but if you don't you'll have to do it the way you're doing it, you can wet them first to soften them, it will be hard work and then grout them and add small granite stones in deep cracks, then resurface the floor to fill the cracks.
Hey Kally thanks for the comment and sharing tips 💚
Great success Archer I could sit all day and wash Laura's Jesus feet and listen to her talk. But she is a bit of a Princess the bit of mud on her foot is nothing compared to the dirty jobs you do like wash out barn.
It's all coming together can't wait for the finished result best wishes guys Phil ❤ 🙏 ps Laura you look amazing in that intro picture
Hey Phil thanks for watching ❤
I think a reducing adapter for the drain plug to a standard garden hose size should be available, that way you can use gravity instead of gasoline (for the pump of course) next time :)
Keep up the great work!
Going to look into this for sure thanks for heads up
Love the videos guys. Im glad you do things just like you do. Make mistakes, its fine. If everything worked out 100% every time it wouldn't be real. As a younger guy I did just what you do. I just gave it a go. Make things work for yourselves. These will be some of the happiest days of your lives. Much love and good luck.
hey thanks for the kind words and we completely agree very wise words ❤❤
Great work guys, the joy on both your faces as your plan for the homestead takes another step forward is refreshing to see, I would suggest lime mortar for pointing as it will showcase the granite. Keep the faith and continue to look after each other.
Thanks for the tip we have been told white concrete is better :) ❤
FYI, you will have to clear out all the surrounding areas (deep) around the stones with the concrete to ensure a solid grip is achieved, however, enjoy the process and looking forward to the next vlog. Keep the faith and look after each other@@theoriginhomestead
Love it when a plan comes together and your walls become exquisite 😆
Your tiny home is going to be amazing when completed Ps Have you managed to get rid of the rats in your toilet/shower cabin? ❤
Thank you Jennifer and so true 😊 We hope so lots more to do and more to follow on the rats ha ❤❤
the exposed granite looks great - may i suggest that eventually you point it with a lime hemp mix as they used in the MAKE DO GROW videos - and only show the larger granite blocks rather than the smaller ones. best of luck! 🙂
Thanks for sharing Peter but we are not using lime we have spoke to builders out hear and they said white concrete is much better :)
@@theoriginhomestead I just read this and I'm picturing you guys repointing and filling in everything, but don't! Some of those holes or gaps can be useful. Use them to hang shelves, potted plants, whatever. You can do some pretty cool stuff with them. The wall with the big squarish hole has lots of potential. My advise is consider leaving some of those "imperfections" before you do the pointing work.
@@theoriginhomesteadplease don’t use concrete. There is a show called Restoration Australia. Watch episode 7 St. Martins from about 14 minutes in to 18 minutes as they are forced to remove the concrete pointing as it will destroy the sandstone. Now yours is granite but the aesthetics of concrete can also be an eyesore, especially if you don’t get it right.
@Satya2btrue post a few times your comment is valuable as it's correct.
Be strong,Dan.Your hard work will pay off.
The outdoor kitchen will help you cooking while you will be working inside, ready for winter.
Love to see and jear you both talking about how to progress.❤❤❤
Thanks Luisa really means a lot and yes we really think so too we are slowly getting there :)
add time lapses of doing the actual job.
Thanks for idea ❤
Always nice to what you two are doing that rock is going yo look amazing when you’re done
. Good work my friends.. love from USA 🇺🇸 😊
Thanks Sammy always appreciate the love and support ❤
I like listening to Laura speak.
I was in Customer Service too, for many years. Talking to people in the right way, can make a great difference to their response.
Good luck with everything, you walking the walk, while talking the talk.
Love this comment and thanks. Yea defo important to walk the the walk ❤
VERY BEAUTIFUL FARMING AND YOU TOO.
❤️
Greg Ovens hair....remember you do have to sleep at night....Greg's channel is we followed ever since Zack got him started....great channels just like yours!!!!
Hey Ron ha love it yea we love his stuff such a nice guy ❤
Hey Dan I know you are happy with your jet washer , before I retired I used many jet washers at different times the one that worked without doubt was anyone with its own engine driving its own pump , if you perhaps rented one for just a day with a rotary head you would be amazed at the power difference, this is just a personal experience I’ve tried myself and found very productive,,, keep up the good vids and the best of luck with your residency application 👍👍👍John
Nice to hear from you John and thanks for sharing ❤
Hi both I’ve just watched your video for 2nd time I don’t know what happened to my comment I typed out Wednesday night Thursday morning I reckon. I feel asleep while typing it. Lol
Dan next time start at the top and work down and keep doing it that way and you’ll soon see the difference but it’s looking great the colour in that granite I’ve never seen before and when you point it up with a lime mortar it will be totally beautiful. We’ll see you in a fortnight.😢😢
Hey Martin not too sure but thanks for the love as always and yes new video out now ❤
Lovely to see those old granite walls emerging.
A write brush disc/brush on a drill might also help, once the old render is a bit wet.
Keep going!
Thanks billy for tip and watching ❤
Great work guys. Love how you bounce off each other. Another step forward. Hope you’re res works out for you. Keep up the good work ❤❤
Hey Donald thanks for the really nice comment and glad you think so ❤❤
Hi Guys
Here is a thought. as we all do things differently and proceed in unknown territory in projects and have comments after the fact ,why not share what you would like to do in future jobs and have your subscribers help with constructive ways to make your jobs easier and better and less stress. From Down Under Australia.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing and we would love to but honestly its not possible to keep it very brief we get thousands of comments and every one has a different way of doing something ❤❤ hope you understand
Let us know what jobs you are tackling next so people can leave advice in the comments on how to do them etc.
The walls will look great when they are pointed... my advice would be to use a lime mortar... you can of course watch loads of vids on youtube on what is best for these walls.
Keep up the good work guys, you're doing really well ❤
Thanks for idea and thanks for sharing means a lot 💚
I found your channel about a month ago and have been eagerly watching it. Please do a bit of Geordie as you would speak it at home, we might need subtitles. It's great to watch you two. Waiting for the next one. Good luck, hope you can solve the requirements for residency, What are they? No doubt it comes down to money. There should be a special deal for young people who want to live on the land in Central Portugal and have children,, because it's not easy. as we can see.
Hey Jackie glad you found it ha we may surprise you one day ha thanks and we will share more soon and we agree xx
I have been watching your videos since one popped up on my feed and I have just caught up. I like them (it's nice to see an off-gridder who isn't living in the snow). The only criticism I have is that in one of your videos, I saw that you were running your generator inside of the barn. Please don't do that again. Keep the generator outside and run an extension cord inside. Carbon monoxide poisoning is serious business.
Glad you found and thanks for support ❤
My guess is you guys will eventually frame things up and put finished walls over the stone, but I hope you at least leave the wall that has that cavity unfinished. It really would look awesome, and you can do some cool stuff with that hole in the wall. We bought an old house from the 1890's and took a wall down to the bare brick. It looks amazing and so will your barn / future home. Good luck.
We are actually going to leave 3 walls like that maybe ❤ we will sea ha
@@theoriginhomestead If its anything like my old brick wall, you might not like that. The brick leaves a fair amount of dust and what not. Its bearable, but if I had 3, I would hate it. There are sealers you can use to minimize the dusty shedding. To stop it completely you have to use an epoxy resin which changes the look of it and makes it more of a glossy finish.
Little tip kick the crap out of anything that bin left for a while you don’t know what lurking underneath 🐍🐍 love you guys ❤❤oh and lime mortar is the way to go it will look beautiful
ha love it terry ❤
please don’t use concrete. There is a show called Restoration Australia. Watch episode 7 St. Martins from about 14 minutes in to 18 minutes as they are forced to remove the concrete pointing as it will destroy the sandstone. Now yours is granite but the aesthetics of concrete can also be an eyesore, especially if you don’t get it right.
Thanks for sharing but we have been told off a Portuguese builder that white cemento is best for out hear. xx
Great video, great to see you each week.❤
Thanks and appractite you take time to watch ❤
My husband tells everyone in the spring not to stand still near me as that's when the pressure washer comes out, washing all the winter dirt away lol. Stand still you get scooshed 😂😂. Bringing the stones up lovely there it's going to look really good when it's a all done. Keep scooshing xxxx
Love that Liz they will start telling me the same soon loving this job ha and thanks for the comment and nice words ❤
Kool that's the easiest job I've seen this far. Excellent job. ❤
Hey Michel thanks for that ❤ such a nice comment
I’m Enjoying your channel. Love your music. Best on RUclips. Would love a copy of your playlist
❤❤
Buy a few fittings so you can attach you hose directly to the IBC tote valve. With the tote in the truck your sprayer may work ok without a pump. You definitely need to park uphill from the sprayer.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Dan, you're happy when you get down & dirty. Great job today. Thank you both for today's vlog 🙋💗💗
ha love it Heidi and your welcome ❤❤
You may further protect yourself by wearing ear plugs/ muffs for noise & debris. If dirty water gets in your ears you could contract a fungal/ bacterial infection.
Thanks for sharing tip Shelly ❤
You shouldn't need the pump and generator, just connect the pressure washer to the IBC outlet and with the IBC above the level of the washer it should work well.
Thanks we know now ha
I absolutely love watching you two and I’m praying that you get your residency soon and don’t have to keep going back and forth. I’m addicting to watching you both and I’m so proud of you both. For two people who say they know nothing about what you’re doing, you do a great job ❤
Thank you so much what a lovely comment ❤❤
Love your Ranger, i have the same but it's a Supercab. Wonderful vehicle to use.
I hope you're fine in the hot inland of Portugal.
I'm going there after Christmas to visit Cindy Vine and her piglets again.
Are you taking volunteers? I might have some time to help you out. I'm electrician and many more things...😅
Regards Rickard from Sweden🇸🇪🚐🎸🌺
Hey Rick nice to connect with you and cool hope you have a nice time there and we are not unfortunately xx
@@theoriginhomestead Thank you, perhaps you'll be at your homestead in Portugal when I'm there. We'll see. Take care❤
I get my bin cleaned and never noticed the IBC until you got me thinking about it 😂😂
Very clever idea and granite is starting to look great 😊
Hope you got your well pump fixed 😮
Bye for now from a very sunny Washington Uk 😂 (typical chucked it down all school holidays now they are back at school blazing bloody sunshine 😖🤦)
Yea bin cleaner inspiration :) Thanks for nice comment and cool Washington i grew up that way yea my mam said sun is out now ha :)
Looks like you guys had a "Blast with Archie." Cant wait to see what the barn will look like at the end of everything.
We did ha thanks cannot wait to share 💚
nice . like - watch & bless you from Hindustan (India) 🙏
❤🌻🌿🕊
Ive no idea if añyone has pointed you to the you tube channel "Frankie Off Grid" so funny to see you have so much in common. ❤
❤
Hope you remembered to get a habitasion licens before starting all that hard work or you won t be able to live in it for more than 9 months, as many make that mistake.
Yep all good and in place :)
You must not wash all the mortar out because if you do you might get massive leaks when it rains? Just thinking.
Thanks for tips x
get yourselves around the local are cleaning wheelie bins ect, another string to your bow ....... just a thought
ha love it 💚 ps no one has bins around hear ha
Make sure you put as much of that wash off into your land, Clay is full of minerals & sandy soil will be the better for it.
Thanks for sharing tip and makes sense ❤
great video you can use one of the spare ibc and put by stone house fill the other one on truck with water from the well. then you can empty water in other ibc by house so you can carry on working and the truck is free to use elsewhere
Great tip thanks for sharing ❤
Oh my I can't belive it so different and so nice love it see it when you are doneand you in lay the lime morter it well make the stone pop and look so 👍
Hey Phillip thanks for that and yes us too xx
Looks good, keep up the good work, your doing great,❤
Thanks Carol ❤❤
Do you watch other RUclipsrs? I would think you do. One I watch is licated in Portugal as well. Its called Life by Living. They are working on a building like yours. Might be worth a look for some ideas for your building. Learn from their experiences!
We watch a few channels but never heard of them may check them out xx
@@theoriginhomestead - I think you may like them. They're names are Ricky & Victoria. 😉
Everything is looking good guys, well done 🤘👍
Thanks Jay its getting there ❤
I love your “can do” attitude. When I started work around my place I knew bugger all, but it didn’t stop me. Keep up the good work.
Hey Rob what another lovely comment and love that can see you also crush ❤
So excited to see you start on the barn. Question..did I miss something about your residency situation?
no not yet we will update as it unfolds ❤
Another way I've seen used on stone is using a wire brush behind spraying. Sorry Laura, you will get wet
You dont need the pump for your pressure washer. Just a tap on the ibc and the pressure washer will do the rest. I did my granite last week using the same method 😊
Thanks for the info many have also said this will be for sure doing that
Agreed some but not all models of Kaarcher can suck water out of a water butt.
The IBC on the back of the truck should be high enough to give enough pressure /flow
to supply your model (Archie Archer)without the need for a pump.
It looks so much better already.
Figure out some wheels and a handle for that generator! Save your back.
yea defo good tip much needed
What a great job of constancy and perseverance... Great video guys...
Thanks as always Victorio means a lot ❤
Some fruit I pick a little green and let it ripen inside the house, others I leave til they are fully ripe.
Thanks for the tip and yea we have found this out too ❤
l love this "Hot Wife Home Improvement" genre on youtube. It's the best!
❤
Lovely to see you both again, keep plodding along and it will be lovely when done x
Thanks Faith hope you well ❤
Rainwater collection would be my first priority....
Hey there thanks for sharing and we agree we some on land already but more is needed for sure :)
My mother always said if it's work worth doing you only get dirty with clean dirt
Love that Malcom ❤
Great vid, barns coming on. You shouldnt need the well pump, just get the garden hose adapter for the IBC and the Karcher's internal pump will pull the water through. 👍👍
Thanks for the tips a few people have said this going to give a go :)
SAND BLASTER WORK AMZING BUT YOU NEED TO HIRE GENERATOR AND SAND BLASTER
Thanks for sharing 🥰
I was wondering why all the extra steps but then I remembered only one generator. I knew you had hooked up a water source by the barn and that should run the pressure washer. If it's not to late, you MAY be able to use gravity to keep the washer going. The pump may actually be damaged from the water not moving through it like it should. Those washers use very little water. Just for G Whizz if possible you can hook your hose up to the ICB then the washer to see if it'll work. It looks like it's a couple of feet higher than the washer so it should. Just make sure you properly get the air out of the washer per the instructions. If it doesn't work, no biggy, you tried right?
I don't know exactly what the pump isn't doing, but if it runs and doesn't pump water check the impeller, I'll bet it has started to melt and deform.
Great job though guys! Thinking outside the box really does help from time to time. I have done it so many times I can't keep count. The wife does however remember most of the times where it didn't work! Keep plugging at it!
Thanks Victor and we hear you. Trying to solve the issues now ha you may be right we everything and also going to use the gravity fed option next for sure just sorting it all out and trying to get a hold of parts :)
If you want to make your own gas look on youtube for making methane (biofuel) in a ibc and you can also search convert a generator to run on methane (biofuel ) then youll be sorted for gas and electric free ...
Thanks for sharing Danny i have actually looked up this a lot using a barrel :) its a really cool idea for sure.
@@theoriginhomestead no problem I've been looking into everything to be self sufficient on land.. my house is up for sale now, once sold...
then I'll be doing the same as you 2
All the Best!
