I look forward to watching these every day now.
It takes courage to share stuff like this and I appreciate how real you guys are.
Great.....looking good......well thought out......keep up the terrific work.....one of the best homestead channels. Going from nothing is really hard and you guys are champions.
YAY for more Alyssa!!!! So glad to have you back narrating!!!!
You guys are making progress. Can't wait to see your home getting started
I'm so proud of you Alysa, you're not afraid to get in there and as viewers we can totally see the skills you've picked up along the way!
I just want to say that I think you both have a ton of courage. Most people would be paralyzed over analyzing how to build a homestead and never start. Best wishes to both of you! It's all going to be great!!
It looks like Jesse is moving better, I hope that means his back is feeling better. Keep up the great work and ignore the arm chair critics. Also ignore the doers that are doing it differently, that's their adventure not yours.
Alyssa, you are awesome!
I just installed a raise bed and weeded my garden and I am beat. You guys are superhuman. And so positive. Thanks.
had to restart the video "wait...did i just see a frog or am i going crazy...again" keep up the good work! it's so inspiring seeing you two work so hard and still having time to film everything
I have noticed in many past videos the girl has been doing most of the manual labor. Strong chick!!!!!
I really wish I could get my wife to watch, enjoy and want to participate in building a home of our own. Jesse is a lucky man to have such a wonderful partner in life.
Something shared to my by a plumber, if you need to make a bigger hole after already creating one, you can actually put the bigger cutter on first, followed by the smaller one and it will fit. Then the smaller bit guides the larger one so it doesn't run away from you. I hope that makes sense. It works, and it has saved me frustration many times. @10:44
I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
You kids are going to tell anyone about every detail of your journey some day. God Bless.
Thank you for deleting senseless negative comments. It's your channel, and great that you can have some kind of control over it, so we're not having to weave through negative stuff for information.
Not sure if it was just me, but this was my favorite video you guys have done in a while. It was videos like this that first interested me in your channel. You guys seem to be working hard, I am enjoying and thankful you share this type of content. Take care.
Love your videos! You're doing a great job, handling all kinds of issues and taking the time to document and explain everything. Greatly appreciated!
They always have such a great attitude.
Keep up the frequency. Great to watch. Wish you all the luck from London and Sweden. John
I don't see any problems at all with using grinders on plastic. Keep on going and keep them videos coming guys!
You guys freaking rock! Sending loves from Southern Oregon
That water system looks awesome. Keep up the hard work. As always, it will pay off in the end. Cannot wait to see the end product. Glad it is finally holding water and working for you guys. Thanks for sharing.
I love yalls homestead,that's the way to live
"Job security." Hah! You two are so fun to watch. Alyssa running around with the quad and trailer, whipping out the laser level for a quick measurement, and you can apply caulk!! I was sure that grizzly needed to made of metal, but you got a great looking tool out of wood, I was wrong, you were right.
love watching your journey as you go! keep up the great work!
You two are incredible. Such an inspiration to all. I was wondering what your backgrounds are to give you such confidence to tackle these huge projects.
Great TOOL for that lid job ; a flipping Oscillating cutter ! They cut and sand in tight areas and work on any material
Man I thought our dirt was rocky here in KY. Could not deal!!
Kudos to you guys!!
Just wanted to say I look forward to your vids everytime they post & I love your music, no matter what these old whining grannies say...
... & if it's any consolation, the buffer music seems to weed out the genuine from the Aspercreme & Grecian Formula crowd😎
Our district wants $50,000 to connect to town water. It's 400 meters away. Tanks for us too! Good job folks.
Your comments on aging at 7:10 cracked me up. I'm 72 and have been receiving tools and things for my workshop from my 4 married kids until about 3 or 4 years ago. Guess what? I realized then that I was OLD.Your email's commenter is absolutley correct.
I enjoyed you whistling the Edward Sharpe tune! Nicely done.
If you need to make a hole bigger with a hole saw clamp a peace of wood to the job and extend the centre drill bit to reach the wood , that way it will support the saw as you cut your new hole .
Very happy for you guys. Well done!
i wish i was young enough to do what you guys are doing. good for you and all the best will watch with interest
When using the hole saw to go slightly bigger, you can put a piece of wood under it and clamp it. That way the drill doesn't wander around when starting it.
If you using a hole saw and don't have material to put the center drill through then start the cutting at a slight angle. when you have a cut then start to level the hole saw off. this way it won't move around when drilling.
Love the videos, keep up the good work.
You tease about eating ice cream and watching TV, but a down-time day might do you more good than pushing on. Never forget to take care of yourselves and get some quality rest.
I have been enjoying your videos and wanted to make a suggestion to Jesse about moving the "Grizz". Try using your front bucket to lift and carry the "Grizz" from underneath. This will give multiple points of contact for lifting and not the dangerous two point system you are doing and hey you don't have to leave the cab. This video shows how advantageous an extendahoe is and come winter time, you will have no problem moving snow for you and others. Keep up the good work and don't listen to the negative comments on how everyone else can do it better.
Nice to have options with water sources. Will you incorporate a rainwater catch system? How much rainfall do you get each year. Sounds like your long term plan is to sell.
hi I really love what you are doing as non pro's but you are doing brilliant and good work to
Love your vids guys , good on you for having a go .
Let me give you a tip for future reference - when you drill using a hole saw in plastic or foam, get the pilot bit through and drill the hole with the drill in reverse - gives you a nice smooth hole with no kick back.
I hope you put in some kind of screen on the outflow pipe as a precaution for anything that actually does get in the tanks
Keep doing your own thing and do listen to all the downers looks good
If you ever need to drill a second bigger hole again clamp a sacrificial scrap of wood to it first. When you drill through that wood will act as a guide and keep the hole saw from skittering about all over the place. Not terribly important in this particular case but that scenario is pretty likely to come up again during construction of the house (happens a lot) so good to keep in mind for the future.
PLEASE tell me you are going to use the rocks to build your home!!!! Foundation, porch underpinning, porch columns... Raised beds, etc!! Keep on trudging along!! We are with you in spirit!!
Hard work pays off!!!
That is what is really wrong with this country and the world people just love to hate behind a keyboard and too lay to do what they are doing. Keep doing what you do
Trolls be trolls and haters unite....... You two kick-ass and your efforts are inspiring!!!!!
so true at work they talk about tool sales for this and that, they look at me and I say "got them".
Looking good guys. Be careful breathing all that dust. Once it is in your lungs you cannot get it out.
Yes, about tools is true....
We love tools are like extended arms for man.....👍
Just a quick I hope this helps, With the holesaw/tank cutter/Starret cutter, if you double stack the arbour you can make the hole bigger whilst still having a centre guide. So from 3/4" to 1", put the bigger cutter on 1st then the 3/4 on top there will be enough thread on the arbour to take both (double stack), the 3/4" will steady you for the 1" and no "boogering" the lid. On the shot of the top of the lid when you talked about all the lettering there was circle (2"- 3" to the right 11:28) I believe this is where the manufacturer intended you to drill.
You guys need a Dremel tool much faster than a rasp or file for fine tuning parts maybe even fixing other tools. Would have worked great for enlarging that hole.
Awesome job so far. I've enjoyed your videos. As for the hater/experts/know-it-alls:
It's easy to criticize when you are all comfy at home being miserable cause you lack the ambition these two people have. Having to be/learn the jack-of-all trades(king of none) is a skill in itself. Our founding fathers also had to learn as they went to survive. It's satisfying doing/learning on ones own.
When you were grinding the nubs off I didn't see you remove the gaskets off. Are the nubs ground off to the hight of the gasket, if so the gasket wouldn't be able to seal, because the lid could only move to the depth of the nubs. Awesome video I've learned a lot. Keep up the great work.
So glad the leaks are no longer :)
Great job today!
The learning curve is hardest it is so much easier the second time, I wish I had a gravity fed cistern system
Whenever I’ve installed those risers on septic systems and cisterns, the supplier always provided a solvent based cement sealant to mount and seal the rings, I’d never used silicone for that..
One more tool to buy is cordless circular saw.
I think an angle grinder is the perfect tool for this job. Fast. Controllable and AVAILABLE.
Nice work with the caulk.
You seem to have a lot of haters and critics, but look at the numbers, over 11k views, 1350 likes, and only 43 dislikes, I would say you are winning, keep up the great work :)
Thank you for your great editing on this, and every video Alyssa :)
Today it is ...77.5k views, 3k likes and only 112 dislikes. the percentage is still in their favour, stuff the haters :)
probably even simplest dust mask (those one-time use paper white) could be a good investment, with that dirt sorting.
For the added resale value alone of a water connection it might be worth doing. I didn't realise you had the option
Just a side note.. but you use my favorite cam. I have three Sony action cams. Love them!
A dremel is critical tool on any homestead. Coming along slow but surely.
Hey just asking.. would drain pipe PVC pipe for large sewer projects have worked instead of that super expensive pipe?
Hey, just curious if you remembered to put the screen over the drain for the overflow as well as the vents. Don't want ants and other bugs crawling inside.
Hey guys I know this is a little off topic and right now you may not be thinking about this but winter is coming. As you already know sleeping cold is not real fun. I suggest an electric mattress pad. They only pull around 40 to 80 watts per side with dual controls and they make the bed like a toaster. I have used mine for years and they are great. With your upgraded solar it would be a good investment. Even if you do no want to sleep with it on turn it on a couple hours before bed time and then turn it off when you climb in. Once you get one you will never want to be wthout one.
Loge the whistle at 14:22, it reminds me of the old Disney cartoons.
ok, what you could do is cut a piece of wood shaped like the "pie slice" you referred to earlier, put it in place, draw an outline from the opposite side of the lid through the undersized hole and then take the pie sized piece of wood, put a 1/4" pilot hole in the center of that drawn circle. then, using the larger hole saw on the arbor, cut the larger hole in the wood pie piece. THEN you have a hole saw GUIDE to keep the hole saw in position as it guides you sawing the larger hole centered in place over the undersized hole. Viola !
Jesse, please wear a respirator or dust mask when filtering dirt on the grizzly!
Well, that's a deep subject, I couldn't resist. Any chance of harvesting rainwater? Nubz.
My bad. Love the whistle
Love your videos so far.
Please don't start following Hollywood's error by injecting music (or sound effects) that have the total volume power far above the voice audio. I'm not talking about peak amplitude of individual frequencies, but of the total combined power of the whole spectrum. Music and sound effects should be below the power level of the dialogue, unless you are producing a music video and the words are relatively irrelevant.
For instance, if I turn down the volume so that the music doesn't overwhelm my speakers, I can barely hear the spoken words you are speaking in other sections of the clip. So I'm constantly having to adjust the volume as the video progresses.
Tom Supergan this is something I have a lot of problem with on my videos. I am trying to figure out how to do better. Depending on which of my computers I am editing with, or if I'm wearing headphones or not (a lot of my editing is done after the kids go to bed). It comes out different on each. I will think I got it perfect, then I watch the video on my phone and can't hear myself talk. This is a pain in my butt!
The rocks would be great for landscape design. California's pay a pretty penny for those.
Good call doing your own system. Stay off the town supplies if you can. Got to get away from.thise monthly bills.
Don't throw away all those rocks..... With such a valuable resource available on site in such plenty you got to build something out of it for your homestead. Ideas????
Rock wall.
They pay for and drink city water. They drive to town, pay, pump, haul home, pump and drink.
I believe that you would spend a lot more than $8000 to drill a well, you might be money ahead to connect to the county water system. $40 per month is pretty inexpensive for constant water.
Great video!
I don't know if your Water District will be willing to do this: But you might see if they will be willing to install a Fire Hydrant at the closes point that their lines run near you property. Then obtain a Contractor's Water Meter. Then when to need to fill you tanks, just attach it and a hose to the Hydrant, and fill you portable tanks. Then at least you will not have to go all the way to town, for water. Heck if it is close enough you might be able to run enough hose directly to you tanks.
If nothing else it would be a good work around until your get you well drilled. Also having a Fire Hydrant, with an unlimited water souce, close to your land, is a good idea in and of itself, and it will increases the resale value of you property.
GREAT JOB
little bit to late, but to cut second larger hole, you could put cuted plastic part back to get middle hole and tape it. Or add wood plank under.
you could spray the outside connections with Flex Seal if in doubt enjoyed the video
in PA in our township they made a law that u must hook to their utilities hope that doesn't happen to u down the road.
Dust in the face. Suggestion mount 2 or 3 12 volt fans to blow on you and the dust away in your face. Maybe harbor freight fans. Just a thought
I can DEFinitely relate to the interruptions when you're working. They're good, even essential, in one way, but in another way they do keep popping me out of my "groove" and slowing things down. :) Keep on plugging away, guys. I'm so happy to see your reaching the end of the water system and that it's produced such a great result!
I was a project addict like this. Then I got cancer. Lifes too short to waste and I no longer have the strength to work like that. Im having to work smarter now. Not harder. Good luck guys, it is fun to have projects even if they are not in the order that everyone wants them to be in. FYI, just don't let the inlaws move in with you.
We live in the mountains of west Texas at 3,000 ft. elev on 100 acres. There is plenty of rock here, so we're building a rock home. Collecting the rocks is the difficult part. My wife and I are in our late 60's and don't have the aid of heavy equipment, nor the money to buy any equipment. We started with nothing and are utilizing the natural resources available on property. We are doing this without any income aside from our Social Security. What an experiment !!! We envy your ability to throw tons of money at your project. I would like to see a cost breakdown on how much money you have spent to date on your project. Maybe you guys could do a video on the accounting side of your project and your thought process in spending that money.
they have that on there website. They show a monthly break down of there expenses.
When I'm working on a project, big or small, and things go really smoothly, I question myself if I'm doing something wrong..
I haven't done it but I know homesteading from everything that I've seen means you never have to look for something to do
All this time I thought you were out in the middle of nowhere!
Tools first of all I think that angle grinder would be the perfect tool for that job. Second my dad is 83 years old and he still loves tools he still buys tools with his money before he buys anything else for himself. Of course he takes care of my mom's stuff before his tools.
I am in Italy the water meter and connection I did myself at no cost. Sorry to hear you guys are spending so much money on having a home.
First off, great video :)
Second, regarding the comment of homesteading being so hard. Well doing stuff you have never done always has a learning curve. It is easy to set in the stands a make snide remarks, far harder to stand at the plate and wack the baseball coming at you with a big ole head of steam :)
Third, regarding tools, if it cuts down the angst you are feeling in getting the "to do" list done and it is with in your budget, get it :) Making do and suffering through the task is often false economy when you have a never ending list of things to do ;)
Do you guys have the ability to turn off one water tank from the other one? That'd help if you ever needed to drain one and could keep the other one full.
It is important that air be able to enter the tank at the same rate as the water leaves the tank. With a 2" hydrant st the lowest elevation of the system that flow rate is pretty high. The volume of air required via the vent equals the volume of water leaving.
A smaller vent size carrying the same volume of air, will result in a higher velocity. Increasing the velocity in the vent, caused an increased pressure drop resulting in a lowering of internal pressure in the tank. Because the vent line is an abrupt inlet and outlet. The status pressure losses re: air velocity are quite high.
Tanks are meant to withstand the stresses of the soil on the outside , but a reduced internal pressure will add to that stress. They have very little structural strength to resist collapse caused by the lowering of the tank's internal pressure.
A 1-1/2" vent would probably be just fine for their tank. Anything less, is risky. This estimate is based on 40 years of engineering experience, but if you did all the calculations you would fine it confirms the sizing estimate.
I like your videos. But I have a question, what are you going to do about the hygienic aspects of your water system? I wonder if you will have filters or something that will prevent you from poisoning through bacteria and stuff. Since I am not off-grid, I don't know anything about that.
