Julie, I grew up on a farm. My dear sweet mother raised 8 kids and we all had to work. Mom worked harder than any of us, as you know being a mom. Pressure canning was her passion as well as harvesting our crops. I believe it's a mothers instinct, in their DNA to do what no one else can. Love your channel and everything you and Martin do. You both have a great family and one day you will receive your rewards. Thanks for all your channel teaches us. Work hard, work together, and always be thankful. You all do this in every episode. God Bless you and your Family.
Morning u 2 will say one thing your wife is a grafter your hole family are good workers u all pitch in and get on with it that's what u need in a family Martin u should be proud anyway keep up the good work and be safe untill next time
Hi - I have worked with water wells (we call them boreholes here in S Africa) for over 45years... Watching your channel has given me an appreciation for how things are done with frost lines... I have had fun reading up on installations in the snow belt and have learnt something new... Well done the Johnson family....
Jules - don't be nervous. 15 PSI is the operating pressure of a standard car radiator. Your home water heater is 3 or 4 times that. My mother canned with a pressure cooker for years, never had a problem. My wife uses one all the time There is a safety relief on the vessel to limit the pressure and relieve it if needed, but that is something that is seldom seen.
You guys are dust doing this! Following your progressions, the successes, the mistakes, the rethinking, re-doing makes it all real. Very enjoyable - very relatable. Cheers from the Netherlands. Using lower tools, diggers, cranes, chain saws, it’s every builder’s dream! Building? It’s playtime!
Dear Martin, please use some kind of protection on the rebar, for example put the plastic bottle on each one. We don't want any injuries on your land :) Great project!
Greetings from Florida! Been watching you guys from the beginning... have seriously fallen in love with your family! I wait patiently for your videos, and watch each one with greedy delight. The self motivation your family inspires inside jumpstarts my day! I wonder do you realize just how many people your family has touched in a positive way. Also.. loving the Demo Ranch T-shirts!!
Martin, when you purchase anything made from metal, like drill bits, the common denominator with the pricing is usually determined by the amount of cobalt iron in the steel. The more that there is, the longer it wears and lasts. Sometimes manufacturers try to entice you into purchasing with some gimmick they pitch, so be careful about what you buy.
And he could check out Project Farm for his reviews. They're unbiased and all items that are tested are paid for by him. He's better, 1000 times better than Consumer Reports.
Documenting the in out utilities, cables trenches is all quite handy. We have a second place in France in the country and documenting where things are so you can find it again if needed is something we forgot and needed to correct later on.
Just a thought. Run a toner wire with the water line and power line. This will be a way to trace the lines in the future if needed. Run it on the outside of the conduit. 12 awg wire for tracing/toning wire.
The inspector said if we run the electrical in the same trench as the water line that is all that is needed. They can use it to trace the line. What do you think?
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving you could, though me my self i would want something that they just can conect to away from power and it be on the out side of everything. peace of mind is what i call it. i know wire has gone up in price. also look at it this way, if you wanted to trace it you have a conection yourself. this is also good to do with lpg gas lines under ground
Hi guys there’s a couple of questions I would like to ask you first you should check out the water set up that has been done on life uncontained,they have a rain water catchment system that supplies them with all their purified water needs ,you could unearth your water tank and move it next to your shed and use it to store all your rain water which can then be use to water your garden and any vehicles . Second at the start of your adventure you had another teenager called Brittney,we never hear yous talk about her now
We are thinking about how to best use that big tank. Thanks for the idea. Brittney was a friend who was with us for that summer. She is doing great in Colorado now.
Marty when you went to buy wood & cement you should have bought a Big White Board. then Before you start a job, the night before draw a diadgam of the job and on the side the stages you need to do, Thne you wont spend hours correcting youre mistakes, and as Jules said preparing for Winter!!, Last year your water tank Froze!! why not by an Insulation Blanket, wrap the outside, and while you have the excavator dig up the pipes and Re Wrap them in a pipe sock. Great video Thanks Editor Sarah from UK. x x
Pressure canning is definitely something you should stick with until you learn the ins and outs and get past the fear factor. Personally I prefer the simpler pressure canner with the rocker style pressure regulator. You can drive yourself crazy trying to adjust the burner to keep the gauge reading where you think it should be. When your garden comes in you can make all sorts of tasty concoctions from cucumbers, squash and any fruit you have. Plus you can jar up meat at a lower price and better quality than store bought. That is once you’ve got your jar collection going.
@@juliejohnson9531 love y'all's videos you got yourself a good Guy there . Marty is the kind of guy I hang out with. If I was out there near Sandpoint id come to the church . Comforting to know y'all have Bible study too
If Julie wants a great channel to watch for canning, check out The Kneady Homesteader. I own a 921 1/2 All American canner and the 23 Quart Pressure cooker and canner. I haven't done any canning in a few years but still own all my jars and hope to can again this summer.
Yes, but be forewarned Jules, you feel good now but that is because the bill has not come due, it will just not at this moment and as the years go by the interest will accrue. The payments will probably begin about 10-15 years from now. Take care of yourself, woman are not men, not built for the type of work you do. Listen to your body.
Same here... use a pressure cooker pretty much every night. Must admit I don't like to stand near it when it's building pressure... but once it's clicked off and is doing its good stuff.. I'm all good.
HaHa! Watching for the first time, and halfway through, I notice your Demolitia t-shirt! Good on ya! Subscribed, because any friend of Matt's is worth watching too. Then DE/MO! I'm impressed!
Its amazing to watch you guys. Truly I admire your relationship and how you do it all together. My ex-wife and I couldn't clean the house without an argument, bickering and insults... Whats the secret to your successful marriage ?
I'm a bit surprised you are not running your water supply through the black sistern tank. That would have resulted in a constantly refreshed water reserve and reduced the amount of pump cycling for any given amount of water use.
@@juliejohnson9531 I really like you guys and what you are accomplishing, good on you and my best wishes for your greatest success. But sometimes your scheduling and rework make me shake my head. If you have plans to eventually move your water cistern (tank) why not do it now as opposed to renting the excavator again, breaking into the water system a second time and having to re-clean and re-disinfect it a second time? I know you can only accomplish so much in a week and maybe that is the sole answer here, I just love to see you progress and preferably without reworking prior projects. As ever thanks for inviting us along your journey, Best Cheers.
Tapcon driver bits are horrible they wear out really quickly! Also buy a good hammer drill from Bosch Typical cost $150-$230. Milwaukee SDS bits are they’re much better! Last longer!
Also use thicker concrete bolts closer to 1/2” to secure your pressure treated 2x4 or 2x6 lumber that sits on top of your concrete forms. Also Recommend placing your lumber on top of the concrete drilling the holes with the correct size wood bits, then insert the concrete bit into holes you drilled with the wood bits
Re-bar should only touch-bar, nothing else. You've stuck it in the sand, it'll rust and vertical bars have no lateral support just being stuck through 200mm of concrete. You should have had cranks on the bottom ie 90-degree bends spanning the horizontals. Keep them vertical with a diagonal if your ties aren't strong enough to keep them standing. Bars should be epoxied into the wall not just shoved in the hole and the joints of the horizontal bars should be staggered ie one joint each end in your case. Just saying, it probably won't matter here but you're doing what you can to get it right, now you know and can decide how right you need it to be.
Hi, i noticed you have plastic on top kraft face fiberglass insulation, that is no bueno, you going to have a condensation problems and possibly mildew
Home despot & lowes have some of the worst wood you can buy" have a Sawyer cut your boards, much better and cheeper, or find someone in the area with a portable saw mill that will cut what you need.

I think we're all very confident in your cooking ability especially when you're swinging a butcher knife in one hand haha

I like that unlike other channels I watch, that involve food, you aren't vegans. I can actually look and think,'that looks nice'.
This is soo cool im from Indonesia,i like to watch your daughter chanel too

as far as bits go Martin. You get what you pay for.
I came over from the Mountain Beaches channel. I’m really enjoying your videos. 😀
Marty!!! This in no way is meant to be disrespectful. Jules just continues to get hotter & she is a heck of a worker! You are a lucky man my friend.
Yep. She gets better with age. Like good 🧀.
Julie you got it!!.. if you built the house you can do the canning👍
Martin are you doing a map of where your utilities are?? You need that.

Enjoy your videos, nice job. You may consider a backhoe for tractor instead of renting the excavator.
Use the speed square to guide the circular saw. Makes it easy!

Great people, great video!
You keep using that red / orange square until it’s a mere fragment! LOL
Just sayin... isn't it about time it said 'Martin & Julie - off-grid living' ??? 🤣.. just stirring. Love you guys !
You are probably right.

Awesome video! Great as always. Thanks for sharing. FYI, I think it's called an excavator. 😉
Nice job!
At $38 them boards should be perfect and if not they should give you a discount LOL.
😂 I wish!
I think you talk like me, edit out the “uhm” gives it a nice flow too ;) doing this with the whole family is cool! Building memories too!
Wow!!! 2x10's are about 2 bucks a board foot... I sure hope lumber starts to go down...
...another big job, lookin' good, stay safe and enjoy...
Thanks so much!
God bless
Remember when you burry the water line...put something on top...so no one accidentally punctures it.
