I'm in the south of UK and find it amazing that although being approximately on the same latitude as you that we rarely go below minus 10 degrees Celsius. Long live the Gulf Stream........ Heck those water pipes are so deep.
Excellent planning for multiple water sources that feed the house as well as various hydrants that can independently be shut down if future repairs or expansion are required without affecting the main water supply to house. The future trees will certainly appreciate the dug out water rather than RO water. I work for some cattle farmers with older established yard sites that unfortunately don't have enough separate valves on water lines thus water supply to houses has to be temporarily shut down when doing repairs to cattle watering bowls & hydrants. The extra planning you are doing now along with some extra piping & valves will certainly pay dividends in the future if issues arise.
Hey Mike, looks like youll be spending some serious time at the north farm. I'm also sure that by creating a comfortable environment for the family youll be able to remain close which i see as important to you. Im also glad to see your contractors cutting the banks back where they had to enter the trench. I dont think many non construction people realize how dangerous trench work is. Thanks for sharing.😊
Thats the way to do it with 2 water systems. My father did that back in the sixties, 2 of everything cost more but we sure appreciated it for the next 50 years!
Looks like you are doing it right the 1rst time. Much better than doing it half assed and having to do it twice. Guys around here are starting to lay to water lines from well to house in case down the road one fails you don't have to dig it up.
In the Netherlands it’s enough to go about 60cm deep. Any less and the pipes will work themselves up to the surface. For freezing you could actually go less. The main water lines do run deeper though, I think about the same as Germany.
Good planning on the water. There was no potable water source in our yard so we had haul it all in. The shallow well we had was only good for pressure washing!
Thanks for showing Mike... Im needing to build an on-site house/cabin/shophouse soon, nice seeing your process. Only issue im running into is finding good new water source to replace the old bored farm well
That seems like a small septic tank, we have around the same size house and they put a big 2 chamber cement tank in this summer since our old one collapsed. And we out lines at least 8ft down, have had them freeze when theyre shallower
Yard that we are at never had a well of any kind on it. Previous owners had a double jet pump set up from a dugout to the basement. 2022 we had Hwy 1 drill a well for us. 519ft I think it was.
Hopefully you see this Mike, definitely wrap your water lines and sewer lines in heat trace and wrap them in pipe insulation for everything that isn't in the ground, but one think happy I did was from sewer tree and water line was from the tree to 8ft under ground also wrapped the water and sewer in heat trace and insulation! What a life saver!! Also suggest wrapping everything in pump house in heat trace and insulation too and get the big electrical heater from Canadian tire/ princess auto! That shack will stay toasty!
Mike is a contractor doing the digging or is your brother Brian doing it for you, it will be nice to have a place to live for you and your hired workers.
Jeez I'm glad i dont live in north America. We only bury to 8 to 12 inches just to stop driving over it and to stop uv damage to the plastic. I'm in oz
It’s not so much a North America thing as it is a Northern North America thing. Gets really cold with relatively little snow cover so the frost goes very deep.
i know it will be put on deaf ears but thing about it we did have the pump house to make it 25 x 25 we did put in a washroom with a working shower with a washer and a dryer when take off our work clothes put them in the washer machine then take a slower you have clean house clothes to wear to year house all the dirty is in the pump house then thing about it I have built this into my house I am in my shower has 2 doors dirty side door and a clean side door leave after the shower I the clean side I have my good house clothes here
Am I the only dense person who doesn’t know what this house is for?! (I’m only about halfway through the video) Is this for Mikes family,or is this a bunkhouse?!
Mike hasn't said exactly who is going to be living there. Mike and Ashtyn have a house with her brother and Mike has been struggling with housing for the hired help.
@@delbutler885he’s said multiple times in the comments. It’s for Mike and Ashtyn. It was originally for hired help but Mike and Ashtyn were wearing out their welcome with family so they decided to use it themselves
@@Mthwsshootr nah dude, No one does Well houses! No one does well houses for a house in a place where the ground freezes. It's called a pitless adapter. Then it's called the vfd system that has a 2 gallon pressure tank that can go inside of a closet.
Don’t run the wire threw the the 4” pipe it will connect when water flows threw and it will use power your not using it shorts out in the long seen this happen for one of my customers
Down here in the good old USA where we take broke taxpayers money and give to farmers you wouldn’t see that. Our farmers need homes 3x that size with walk out basements and swimming pools. The sad thing is I’m not exaggerating at all.
That’s a Small House for a Family. Awful Small. Is that Even 1,000 square feet ? What’s with the Fiberglass Septic tanks ? Here they use Reinforced Concrete tanks. 2 of em then pump run off to the drain fields. Are you gonna have drain fields or drain fields not allowed in Canada ?

We lost a few up here in northeast Missouri over the years.

I have had lines freeze at 7 feet down.....gotta be 8 or more feet
cool, simple ready house, but I'm just worried about the big pool, it would be better to install a net fence
Looks like you are doing it right the 1rst time. Much better than doing it half assed and having to do it twice. Guys around here are starting to lay to water lines from well to house in case down the road one fails you don't have to dig it up.
Your one busy man Mike. Really love the videos and appreciate the time and effort you put in to them. All the best from Wales (uk)
Mike it is looking good . Nice house it will be very nice when all is done
In Germany waterlines go around 2,5-3 ft. deep in the ground. Can't belive how deep you have to go in Sask. Keep up the great work 👍👍🚜🚜
In the Netherlands it’s enough to go about 60cm deep. Any less and the pipes will work themselves up to the surface. For freezing you could actually go less. The main water lines do run deeper though, I think about the same as Germany.
@@autobootpilootoh man I wish, where I live in Manitoba Canada, it has to be at least 300cm below the ground
Such easy digging without cow size underground rocks 😂
Here in South Carolina we dont even have to bury water line..we just lay it on the ground and sweep some pine needles over top..
That's what I am used to in NZ.
If we did that in Canada it would freeze solid. Where I live it has to be at least three feet down, where Mike is probably more like 6 feet 😀.
Good planning on the water. There was no potable water source in our yard so we had haul it all in. The shallow well we had was only good for pressure washing!
Looking Terrific Mike!!
Thanks for showing Mike... Im needing to build an on-site house/cabin/shophouse soon, nice seeing your process. Only issue im running into is finding good new water source to replace the old bored farm well
Just witch it with 2 brass welding rods
Put all your trees & shrubs etc on timed drip irrigation
Hi Mich I’m wandering if u need some help through the winter?
That seems like a small septic tank, we have around the same size house and they put a big 2 chamber cement tank in this summer since our old one collapsed. And we out lines at least 8ft down, have had them freeze when theyre shallower
Mike doesn’t need a bigger septic system because he’s so busy he doesn’t have time for shit.
Yard that we are at never had a well of any kind on it. Previous owners had a double jet pump set up from a dugout to the basement. 2022 we had Hwy 1 drill a well for us. 519ft I think it was.
Those guys are good with that crane.
Getting pretty lucky with weather IMO. Could be fighting blizzards or at least snow storms.
I cannot believe that people are actually questioning why the sell house is on top of the well ?? Where would it be below it
I can't wait to see Ernie knifing in that Natural fert.
Hopefully you see this Mike, definitely wrap your water lines and sewer lines in heat trace and wrap them in pipe insulation for everything that isn't in the ground, but one think happy I did was from sewer tree and water line was from the tree to 8ft under ground also wrapped the water and sewer in heat trace and insulation!

Interesting. In my area waterlines only need to be below 30". You guys have to work a lot harder to trench lines and set hydrants than we do.
Frost goes down 6 feet here..especially if there is any traffic on it...
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et la maison et les travaux est bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
What's yourbfroze line up there. Our in southern Indiana is 36 inches can get by with 32 now a days in soddded areas
Great awesome video, seems weird out there , keep it simple
Mike, I must have missed it. Is this going to be your family home?
Hi Mike, I gotta question, don't you get bored with so little to do? 🤔😂🤣😂
😆😆
We love you Mike, all the best from your UK viewers. 🇬🇧 🇨🇦
Is there a reason to have the well house above ground, needing heating? Our wellhouse was just recessed into the ground.
How deep is your water source for the well?
The sewer tank hanging by the chains looks like a WW2 atomic bomb.
Take pics abd label b4 backfill
I may have missed it but are you and your family planning on living in that modular home?
Morning
I see another septic tank on the trailer? What's it for?
I don't think those gas lines are plastic..I think they are steel coated with plastic at least the ones i seen were..
Mike you have plans to move?🤔
whole house R.O 😂 who sold you on that 😭
Just curious, how deep do y’all have to bury your waterlines ?
Everything has to be under 8ft and if you are driving on it then 10ft is rule of thumb.
Mike is a contractor doing the digging or is your brother Brian doing it for you, it will be nice to have a place to live for you and your hired workers.
What happened to your tailgate?
What time is sunset that far north.
More or less sunrise at 8:20am sunset at 5:05pm this time of year in that part of Saskatchewan
I miss the 1050😢
Junk 😊

@dirtdevil70 I know mate. Lived in Saskatchewan for 8 months in 86. Was just ribbing mike lol
i know it will be put on deaf ears but thing about it
we did have the pump house to make it 25 x 25 we did put in a washroom with a working shower with a washer and a dryer when take off our work clothes put them in the washer machine then take a slower you have clean house clothes to wear to year house all the dirty is in the pump house then
thing about it
I have built this into my house I am in my shower has 2 doors dirty side door and a clean side door leave after the shower I the clean side I have my good house clothes here

@@clearskiesranch1362 Thanks!
How deep do you have to put water lines?
Frost line I believe is 5 ft. You have to be below that.
@kerryrouse9039 that hydrant looked like it was 12ft long
We go 6 ft deep in southern MN, long ways south of there.
Why is the well house not on top of the well.
Submersible pump with pitless adapter. Control panel and bladder tank can be at a remote location…
Tough to service a 130 ft well when you have to pull the pipe. And the well has to be where the water is.
Absolutely no good, no need . Much better ways of going about this whole system 🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@coryhusnik3583well house is always on top of a well

👍
That little thing would be filled up in 2 days what do you guys have to do get it pumped out no septic field
The hydrant length is strange. We bought 4 footers in Oklahoma and 3 foot stuck out of the ground 🙂
5 ft frost line. Still might freeze.
They drain out when shut off water valve so they won't freeze in winter. His frost line could be 8 to 10 foot.

Mike - You are busier than the Gopher in the Movie: Caddyshack !!! th-cam.com/video/_cUKCLbfK5w/w-d-xo.html
Does you have to pump are septic
Does you have to pump are septic OH you mean OUT read your question over before posting it
Surprised TLF doesn’t know how to slope trenches out, pretty average work by them. Not very safe as well
What for if nobody’s working below

Must have a unlimited check book. Or good government programs.
You see how much Mike works, doesn't he deserve a house the way he wants it? How much he spends is his business.
No government programs in Canada. Only Crop insurance in case of low yields, not low prices.
@@elizabethliska5377 Theres plenty of government subsidy programs in Canada.
