I prefer to do the woodwork (trim) before the wall. I find it easier to cut from the wall into the trim than the trim into the wall. Definitely not the only way to do it, just the way I was taught.

Ya I was worried that putting a mesh over it would render the louvres pointless and remove its self cleaning ability. I’ll find out over time if I made the right choice. I can always add it later

Ya I flip flop on the music. Definitely parts of this video I at least should have made it much quieter. This was only my 5th or so video, still learning.

I just looked up a well point and that’s quite interesting… it might have worked pretty good! Well if this ever breaks or fails in some other way I’ll have to try one

Yes, it works great. I still have an airlock somewhere because the flow rate is less than what you see here at the bottom. Once I find and get rid of it it’ll be just about perfect

Check back in a year to see if other problems have come up

Ya, I don’t know if it’s flawed thinking but I prefer a twist and wire nut for solid copper wire, I feel like it’s got better metal-metal contact. Going from braided to solid copper though… I just can’t think of a better way than a wago personally.

I know but it is, I triple checked it myself because I didn’t believe at first

Well that’s a good idea, to be honest I didn’t think of it. I’m going to put solar outside to charge the power station, and I did want the outlets and things anyways. Would have changed the project scope/cost a bit but not a ton. Ya, it is a really good idea though, huh.

Ya seriously, got it hooked up but learned my lesson. All the other boxes I had like 6 inches. Not making that mistake again

Thats what she said

I know right?! I just hated cutting up that beautiful cord

Thanks! Ya the water is awesome. It really makes me appreciate plumbing, I used to have to pack it all in but now I’ve just got it on tap. Ooohhh I love it.

Ya I was going to insulate it but paint is cheap and I’m going to see how hot it gets before I panic.

That’s actually a really good idea to put in a settlement tank. I’ve been a little concerned about sediment getting in the toilet/tub and clogging things up

Right now I’m just using it to supply my outhouse (flushing toilet, shower, etc). Gravity fed so no need for a pump which is nice. Long term it’ll also irrigate a small orchard plus a few other things like that.

@@ThePropertyProject I'm planning on moving out onto a homestead in a few years. I made that comment before I looked at your channel and you have some pretty cool videos. Will be looking forward to future videos/projects of yours

@@woodduck thank you :)

Ya I’m hoping the louvered design keeps the leaves and sticks out, but moss/algea will still be a problem. It’ll need a little upkeep for sure

So far I haven’t done anything that requires a permit. I’ve just been cleaning and running a really long hose. So I’m no expert, however I imagine you would go to your county’s website and they’ll have an application process on there. Sorry I’m not more help.

Ya you know, I wasn’t trying for laminar flow but it’s kinda cool that’s what happened

Ya the stream is awesome. I still have some airlocks that I haven’t found (haven’t tried too hard) because the volume that comes out the bottom is no where near the volume you can get further up. But it is still soooooo nice to have running water. I hooked up a garden hose the other day and was just washing stuff. Before I have to haul it all in manually. Makes me really appreciate indoor plumbing haha

@@ThePropertyProject Oh for sure ! If you hook up a pump & pump water from the bottom up for a few minutes until the air is out , the air will push up easier than down then just ley it reverse gravity feed should be full steam :)

Yes, there’s about an 80 foot drop from where I plugged into the creek and the outhouse

Well thank you :) I appreciate it

I bought the Milwaukee brush cutter. Any brush cutter will do, battery power typically has a little less power and takes longer to “fill the tank”, but there’s no oil and no mechanical engine to maintain. It came with the 8 Ah battery but I had a 12Ah already. I mostly use the 12. It lasts for hours of constant cutting, then switch to the 8 while it recharges. I can’t quite go indefinitely, the 12 isn’t fully charged by the time the 8 is flat. But so far that really hasn’t been much of an issue (thankfully)

And when I say “less power”, this thing still has tons of power. It’ll whack through anything less than an inch, and I’m going to put on a brush cutting saw blade for when I clear the bigger stuff (for future fruit trees)

This is it: www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18V-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-QUIK-LOK-String-Grass-Trimmer-with-M18-FUEL-Brush-Cutter-Attachment-2825-20ST-49-16-2738/322137434 It’s basically a string trimmer with metal blades instead of string. I got this because the end switches out for different tools. They make a dedicated version that is more ergonomic if you’d rather that.

Yes, also a nice feature of this place, however I used to live way up north and as long as the temperature doesn’t drop too far where your creek freezes solid, you can still do this provided you set it up so the water never stops flowing. Otherwise you’ve got to drain the system to prevent a burst.

Ya I’m pretty proud of this one to be honest. If I don’t get the flow rate I’m expecting I have enough pvc to make two more and install all three in parallel. So I should be able to avoid that hefty $1000 price tag

Well thank you :), I'm just super happy that I've got running water now. It's not drinkable (yet) but it's something.

@@ThePropertyProject Do you know that the Moringa Tree is use to purify water? It is often called "The Miracle Tree."

@@terryulmer969 really?? I’m going to check that out, might be worth planting

@@ThePropertyProject It's also edible and very nutritious.

It's coming along! Slowly but surely.
