Back to Country
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2019
After completing over 30 years of active duty service in the U.S. Air Force I decided to retire, get out of the city and back to the country way of life. Approximately 2 years later, my wife also left the fast paced world of employment and joined me. This is our journey back to the country. Please join us both here, on Rumble and on Facebook @BacktoCountry.homestead

How We Kept Our Citrus Trees from Freezing During the Arctic Blast
sorry to hear this happened to you. How is Google handling this issue?
@@MyAlaska12 our insurance is taking care of it at the moment and upon completion will reclaim the damages from Google
Sorry for the troubles Jeff & Lorena.
Ugh, that's crappy.......no pune intended. They should have to pay for damages....imho
What a disaster....ugh!! Make them pay.
Good, I'm glad everything is getting looked at & fixed. Great insurance
Have a good weekend. Pray 🙏 things are getting dealt with. ❤❤
Great tip on the insurance.. im gonna look into it.
For future reference there Should be a clean out just outside the house in line with the vent stack, if there's a backup thats flowing into the house just open or remove the cap on the outside clean out.. this will give the sewage somewhere to flow other than into the home.. ive been a maintenance man at income based apartment's for 25 years. . Been there done that... Too many times.
@@Oldmanwithagoldpan unfortunately there was no outside clean out on this house.
@@BacktoCountry That is very unfortunate... and unwise.. the builder needs t be smacked lol. But I will also add that sometimes the outside clean out will get covered up/buried or hidden by landscaping and dirt over the years.. did you probe or have the plumber probe for one? I've run across this problem a few times also..
@@Oldmanwithagoldpan yes, we searched and probed. The house was built in 1983 and unfortunately did not have a clean out on the main. However as I showed in the video, it does now 😉
@@BacktoCountry awesome!
So sorry I had know idea. 🙏🙏 for sure. Hi whisky!!!
Sorry to hear about your house. 😔
Oh no my friend! Praying for you and the family!
Oh wow! What a nightmare! Prayers for ya’ll. I’ve had USAA for 43yrs
GTSY again. Good luck!
i WONDERED WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU AND BUBBA ... WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR RETURN ... SORRY TOHEAR ABOUT ALL THE CRAPPY HAPPENINGS... HUGGS TO YOU AND WIFE... WILL BE PRAYING FOR THE BEST OF BLESSING FOR YOU AND FAMILY... THANKS FOR THE UPDATE... WILL CONTINUE TO HOPE FOR A QUICK RETURN...
How did you finally get the fan clutch off? I have a strap holding the pulley in place but I have not been able to break the fan clutch free.
@@ateabaxter642 open end wrench and a long pipe to act as cheater bar and was finally able to break it free. If all else fails you may have to put a little heat to it, but that may ruin the clutch and require replacing the whole thing
@@BacktoCountry thanks so much for the response! I feel like if tried every trick in the book but it’s not budging. I’ll try a longer cheater bar! I’m replacing with an electric Horton clutch so I don’t care if I mar this one up haha. Thanks again!
Wish I would have know 6 months ago, prices now direct from Seimens is $538
@@shandorn1077 wow, that’s gone up a lot. At that price I would buy the EMP Shield
Subbed 😊
Pick this one up for 50$ plus 7 and some change in taxes let’s see how it goes I barely seen it’s 9 years old lol
Thank you for sharing this. Do you know if this is suitable for potable water?
@@farmyourbackyard2023 I believe so. The tanks are made for potable water and this is the recommended method of repair from the manufacturer.
Got a review for that k&n intake?
Wasn’t doing reviews back then, but I do like it! Works great have never had any issues with it. It was easy to install and does have better airflow than the factory setup. Overall 👍
Wenn man einen Bohrhammer mit entsprechender Leistung verwendet macht am ende der Bohrer den größten Unterschied aus. Die Maschine kann nur schlagen und drehen (mehr oder weniger gut) doch wenn der Bohrer Müll ist, bring auch die beste Maschine nichts. Du kannst für kleines Geld gute Geräte kaufen darfst nur keine Wunder erwarten. Besonders vom beiliegenden Zubehör. Bin der Meinung der Bohrer macht die meiste Arbeit (min 60%?) den rest die Maschine. Ich bleibe bei günstigen Maschinen und bohrern im oberen Preissegment. Bisher fahre ich damit sehr gut.
Whats the cost on replacing the cylinder for something not OEM but better and easier in the long run?
@@w4447 haven’t priced them, but I suspect it would be more than it’s worth
Thanks
thank you
Why not just spend a little more and get the inverter generator which is obviously super quiet compared to the open frame but also safer power for your electronics.
@@Dlong77 not sure what you’re commenting about. This is a quiet inverter generator…not open frame
@@BacktoCountry sorry, for some reason this comment ended up on your video instead of someone else I was watching, lol. Really not sure how? Anyway we just bought the champions 4500 too and love it. Good luck with yours…

Good morning Jeff & Lorena Great using natures natural flow. Your place is coming along. Have a great day. 🌞
@@DinkTank369 Mornin’ y’all, thanks we’re trying 😉
Little at a time!
I really appreciate your video. Is it still working for you two years later?
@@NatalieTaekwondo glad we could help. Our drill still works as good as the day we got it! Thanks for watching and providing feedback
Good Morning Jeff....Very Happy you and Lorena did well through the storm. I'm very well aware of the stress these Hurricanes can be on you. Loved the Content Mark in Florida
Good job on the temporary water catchment system! Wishing you and Lorena a blessed day!
Nice!!
Good morning Jeff & Lorena Over 2000 gallons wow, very good..
@@DinkTank369 Mornin’ Y’all! Thanks for watching 🙏
@@BacktoCountry have a great day 👍
I understand your frustration ! I've worked on a service truck over 50 yrs it's not just. NHolland most farm loaders are that style cylinders, very simple, these are lower cost simple, I've had bigger problems getting cylinder threaded glands unscrewed especially when manufacturers use red loctite , not judging you, but if could somehow get your equipment under a roof it would be beneficial for your equipment, thanks! Good luck maintaining your Equipment
Hello there, Jeff and Lorena! Great to see your garden and hear about your updates. Have a blessed Independence Day!
Always a good idea to run in the Epsom Salts into your bed especially for the tomatoes there as well buddy! Build yourself a 3 stall compost bin out of Palates. On YT. Works real good. Need greens and browns into it and away you go.
First time here, and also a first time fuel generator user. One question (from a newbie). I purchased a Champion to use for emergencies to power a portable 8,000BTU air conditioner and/or 5 cu ft min-freezer. The owner's manual says that this is a floating neutral generator and that to prevent electric shock, it needs to be 'grounded' using a copper rod, etc. Is that necessary, and did you ground yours? Thanks for your awesome video!
So the correct answer is “for safety it should be grounded” There is a grounding lug on the front of the generator and you can run a wire from that to a new rod or pre-existing. The truth is, no I have never run the ground and have had zero issues. But if we ever did have a fault, there is the risk. Thanks for watching, if you want to see how to put in a rod easily check out our video on grounding in our electrical installation videos
@@BacktoCountry Glad you have a video on the grounding rod! That's my next stop. Thank you, I really appreciate the advice!
With full tank, in the real world,what is the run time?
@@jjohnston6645 depends on the load, but running my RV With Air conditioner I average around 8 hours or more.
I’ve got a $800.00 tiller that I got on sale for $179.00 crated still in the garage if you were closer I’d sell it to ya for what I paid for it. Nice champion rear tiller
Ikr, happened here yesterday. Good morning Back to country family
I love a rainy nite n day too😁😍🙏 snow even better 😊
There’s only three jobs in the world that you can have and be wrong every day and get a promotion at the end of the week. What three jobs do you think it is? I would say news, media, police, and people in the government you can break the law and still get a promotion.
Mine was the same.
We went from that, to ninety and dry as a bone.
Good morning ☕ Jeff & Lorena 🌞🌱
They don't build'em like they use to....my grandfather the same way. Tools that didn't require gas, electric, or batteries. Just character building tools 💪.
At least Jeff you know how to fix alot of everything. That's a great thing. Save alot of $$$, by doing it yourself. You must have learned alot from watching your dad.
@@DinkTank369 indeed and many times I had to learn the hard way with a butt whooping for encouragement 😉😂
Ditto 👍
Man you shoulda called. I got tractor tiller you coulda used
Thanks Jake. This time I kicked Ole Murphy to curb and got it done in spite of him. 😉
I have a 1998 f150 with 226,000 miles and haven’t changed the front or rear differential fluid yet. Just replaced the drive shaft u joints, so I figured I better change the fluid too.
All the differential fluid on mine looked new. Come back and let me know how yours looks. I’m curious to know.
@@BacktoCountry just did my rear differential and the fluid was dark. Not black but blackish in color. Now off to do the front transfer case.
@@13ghosts50 I guess that’s the difference 100,000 miles makes 😉. Glad it all worked out. Hope the front goes smoothly as well.
Blueberry's ain't always easy to grow Jeff. I'm in Florida and it sucks doing them here for me as well
The soil here is very acidic so more suited to blueberries. So far we haven’t killed any 😉
Congrats on 1,000. Gotta love that red dirt…
Thanks Jake
Wire is used all the time on cylinder ends.
