The jack was for hardwood flooring. When you get to your last few rows you can put a block on the wall and Jack the flooring tight before face nailing.
I should have bought it,
+Wranglerstar yes you should have.
Not for $40 way to much
As someone who used to work with that poly pipe, installing irrigation, I would like to offer a tip. We would always use a propane torch to warm the end of the pipe before installing the fittings, it makes them easier to push in and they'll sit more snugly in the pipe. Just be careful not to heat it too much or it melts! Hose clamp is obviously still advised. :)
28 years as a licensed plumber in Australia, would never need to heat poly pipe. Is it different in the USA with colder weather.
With the way Heartracer looked at you from the porch I would change their name to Heartbreaker.
I was thinking the same thing.
Her ears were down and back, as if being scolded. She wanted to go for a ride very badly.
I put a single bottom plow on my 8N and ran a trench to lay the conduit for my workshop and barn electrical service. It was only a foot down but I wasn't worried about freezing.
For the water lines I rented a Ditch Witch. It's a giant chain bucket elevator that can go down three feet and trench as fast as you can walk behind it.
Cody, my brother does landscaping, there is an attachment to his stihl weeder that is designed for cutting a 2inch wide strip in the ground for running irrigation pipe easily.. he uses it all the time and it will cut 10ft in just a minute or two, deep enough to run that pipe....
That sounds cool
Now that he has the tractor he could just get a 1 shank subsoil er 3 point hitch attachment and he could lay pipe underground all day.
Well that will only put a 2 to 3 inch trench in the ground, and if the groud is rocky or too muddy it doesnt work too well.
Hi Wranglerstar! I built a ram pump using your videos except replaced both brass swing check valves with the plastic ones and it does not work. The vertical check valve must be the "swing" style since it requires gravity to pull that swing back down after the water hammers. The spring loaded check valve does not work the same with gravity. I tried it, and had to replace the vertical check valve back to a brass swing valve one.

In Feb. 1960, at the age of 12, weight of 95 lbs., I was given a shovel and a pick and told by my dad that I needed to dig a ditch, for a water pipe, 130' length, by a shovel's width, by one foot depth, through blue shale from the house to the barn. After 44 days of digging after school and on Saturdays I completed it with an approx. average of 3'/day. It took two months with time off for bad weather and frozen ground. Dad would observe my progress a couple times a week and say "good job son". I would dig an extra foot the next day, lol. For back filling, the ditch was covered by dragging a cross tie timber at an angle with a pickup, thank God! But the job was completed the "hard way" back in the "good old days." I'd start again tomorrow if I could. Life was great!!!
Great video, just get your pipe buried for it to have a longer life.
I shop at two stores, approx. 60 miles from me and another 75 miles in the opposite direction that have nearly anything, including old tools, similar to your store. Just great "old time stores", love to visit them!

I have an irrigation system to install for my missus!I picked up some ideas from you. Thanks!
One could go broke real quick in that store
Heck I could go broke in Home Depot or Lowes.
Hi Cody, either up your frame rate from 24fps or slow down your pans. A limitation of 24p video is the stutter or blur you get when panning quickly. The degree of blur is dependent on how wide the focal length is and how fast the pan is. IF you shoot at 30 or 60fps, this is a non issue. Just a little shooting tip.
Very good information on poly pipe I did not know that.Thanks as always excellent video.How did Mrs W like her surprised.
If you have several projects that would require a Bobcat, just rent the trencher with whatever other attachments and get everything done at once. Even better is to get some neighbors that need some of the same type work done and go in together and rent everything. Then everyone can pitch in an help one another and save money also.
Hi Cody just watched your video. We don't have Internet at our new house yet so I have to wait a few days between watching your videos. I have a couple of thoughts on the tiny Ram pump. Adding the PVC valve for the waste valve doesn't work because of that spring inside. I wish it would because you are right that would be a longer-lasting valve. One thing I have noticed is that using the larger Drive pipe to feed a smaller pump often time results in quicker wear and tear. also using the same size Drive pipe as pump produces more water output and higher lift because the pressure wave is not having to counteract a larger volume of water going back up hill. I know you already have that very nice steel pipe from your water source and it's very convenient to just hook the tiny pump up to it. my first thought would be to travel from the pump up the pipe about 15 feet and add a standpipe and from that stand pipe come out with half inch pipe. If you would rather try the 3/4" pump just let me know. :)
I have removed the spring from a pvc valve. I will give it a test tomorrow :)
I hope you test out the pvc check valve. It would be interesting if it had more longevity than brass for this purpose.
i would kill for a store like that here in melbourne even for one just in Australia.thats insane how much stuff they have. anyway love your videos cody
I'd love to find a place with mixed hardware like that, looks like heaven to me !! Once again, nice video Cody ! Thanks !
I really love the ram pump stuff, Cody. I'd be very curious as to how a pvc check valve would hold up, or an inline brass one, like the one you looked at in the store. They have a spring that holds them open at a force of 2psi, so maybe the pump would reach a higher pressure in the pressure chamber before closing it, therefore sending the water farther/faster to the water tower.
Cody, I believe the large brass piece you showed was a flash arrester. You put it on top of a vent pipe that might have flammable vapors coming out of them. It allows venting from coming back through your vent and in to your tank....or I'm wrong and I have no idea what it was...
a little trick from a european plumper!
when you use the 'pex sax' (the cutter you have) twist it around the pipe while you cut it. it will give a more even cut. :)
(and sorry for bad english!)
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but when you're using cutters like your Rigid cutters, give your pipe or cutters a twist while cutting for an easier faster cut. Also, when you need to unroll poly pipe (Ie pex, gas poly) in a roll, it rolls out a heck of a lot easier when it's warm. Love your videos, truly an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
I love it Cody. Anytime that pump gets finicky just remember it uses zero power!
Being a licenced plumber that ridged pipe cutter is for a pipe called pex pipe which has a warranty of 30 years but can not be used outside in the sunlight. I use it to do re-pipes in people's houses. When you start to cut with it rotate the cutter around the pipe a little bit to get it started into the pipe then cut it. Goes a lot easier that way. And the T wrench he has is for tightening up stainless clamps on No hub clamps or mission couplings. It will make a strip noise and slip once it gets up to 65 pounds of torque. I love the videos, it makes us wish we lived out away from the mess we live in. Happy Plumbing.
Couldnt take heart racer because it was too hot but next shot in town you were wearing a down jacket. Poor heart racer only wanted to ride in the truck with you.
We live high in the mountains, town is near sea level. Big temp difference,
From my house to the lake is 8 miles, temp difference can be 18-20 degrees.
You are the type of person that would also complain if cody left the dog in the truck.
My wife sat down and watch the video with me. She started laughing and then said this, you and Cody are so much like I can see why you like this TH-cam channel.
Hi Karen!

Thank you for your awesome content. It is always engaging and enlightening. One question - When working with that particular type of black pipe, do you ever add a little heat to make it easier to work with? I think I've seen this done and was wondering what you thought. Thanks again for your channel - and blessing to you and yours!
"My favourite pipe store" your life is poles apart from mine, and I think your life is by far the most fulfilling and creative, I salute you sir!
I really enjoy watching your videos mate. I don't understand the purpose or function of the ramp pump though. I guess Ill have to read up on it
i noticed that when you where in the plumbing, there was a small red pump on the shelf, looks interesing
A little bit of heat from a torch on the end of your black pipe will make it so much easier to insert your connector. When it cools around the connector it shrinks too it and makes a better seal when you tighten the clamp. Heat also helps in taking your connections apart.
On the Ram pump...the check valve is installed in the wrong orientation. These "swing checks" are designed to be used horizontally only. You actually looked at the "spring check" you needed when you were digging around at the used parts store. A spring check will work in the vertical orientation.
Just my two cents but before you replace that check valve I might try adjusting that second valve you have throttled down. You have more back pressure on the pump now with the rest of the line hooked up and it lifting all the way to the top of the tower. Might need to open it up a little as a result. It kinda sounded like it was short cycling a little bit like when you dont have that valve open. But I'm no expert on ram pumps and I did hear the hissing too so it might be worn out already. It does seem like the smaller pump cycles more times per minute which makes sense it would wear faster.
''my favourite pipestore'' how many are there exactly?
If you twist the pvc cutters as you cut the pipe it will save your blade, as well as it will not deform the end of your pipe. Great video!! I love your channel.
@ 4:24 Intake Strainer, probably for a well. Too fine for hard suction like we use in the fire service.
That's what I was thinking, pretty sure it's a well strainer. At least the well ones look exactly like that one
That resell store at 2:45? That's what my Dad's (a general contractor for 45 years) garage and outbuildings looked like. When he died we tried to get contractors and tradesmen to come out and take a look but no one could be bothered. He specialized in building swimming pools and he had NOS pumps and filters from the 1960s that are unobtainium now. In the end, yes, you guessed it, we had a scrap metal guy haul it all away, we had no other choice. Lots of cheap/free stuff out there for those who care to make a bit of effort.
Those little blue caps are great for working on hydraulic lines on machinery. Stick one in when you take the hose off so gravity won't drain your reservoir.
what happened to the bees?
as a beekeeper myself, I was wondering the same thing.
Same !!!
yes I was wondering just that a few weeks back.
The 'I have no idea what that is' thing is a course sediment filter for pre-pump location in a pond, lake, stream, etc.
rent or borrow a compact tractor with a 3 point ripper attachment with the irrigation pipe laying attachment on it. look on youtube for what i mean. be allot easier and faster than a backhoe and you do not use the irrigation system in the winter anyway so you do not have to worry about getting more than a foot deep or so. just blow the pipe out every fall after you put the garden to bed with compressed air.
You have a tractor with a three point so you can weld up a single harrow for it with multiple tools. If I want a wide trench I use the wide one if I wan a narrow one I select the narrow one. A good tractor shop should have a variety of cultivator tips for you to choose from and as long as you use certain size square steel tubing you can make up different "tips" that install just like a reciever hitch but vertical. Or you could simply weld something up out of C hannel like a neighbor did 60 years ago for his 8N. He could V an ditch three feet deep in one pass.
We don't have a tractor. We want one.
Craigslist Portland shows plenty to choose from from antiques to new. You know your acerage and you know what snow you get so you should know witch 2WD, 4WD or tracked will work best on your property. From what I have seen of your place I would want a backhoe on it. Maybe putting up a list of your needs in a video to your subscribers would help as having more eyes looking to get more choices should hope. No none of my three are for sale as I still use mine. I make quick work of the cabin lot getting it to Firewise specs because my JD MC with hoe is there and I have welded up brush rakes for fron and back.
Cody, about buring your pipes for your wife's irrigation system. We used to but the plow with some weight behind the tractor and just using one blade would dig one simple trench. We would have the piping redeady as the plow made the cut to slip the pip under the soil. THen just allow the soil to close back ontop of the pipe and voila!
PE pipe comes in lots of thicknesses. Its called the "SDR" number or standard dimension ratio.
The check valve is most likely fine. Your check valve is a swing check it's not rated for a vertical orientation, only a horizontal orientation.
Hey Cody, pro tip. When cutting pipe with the tubing cutters. Give a twist to the pipe or cutters when starting the cut. It keeps from smashing the pipe and is a lot easier to cut.
If you want to run water or electrical you can attach the piping or conduit to the bottom of a tractor sub-soiler, this digs a trench, runs conduit /pipe and buries it in one motion.
I still maintain that 1/4 inch ID Agricultural tubing should be sufficient for the amount of water that pump would be pumping out. It would take a lot less time to fill and the pump wouldn't have to push against as much water in the hose up hill from it. If my googlefu is correct (which it might not be) 100 feet of 1/2 inch ID tubing would have 8 1/2 pounds of water in it, where a 1/4 inch ID tube of the same length would only have a little over two pounds of water in it for the pump to be pushing against.
At 4:28 a strainer for the end of a suction hose or for the bottom of a well, it is short for a well.
Cody, as a plumber I can say that some of those check valves are rebuild-able and if its a good valve are a lot cheaper to rebuild the seat and disk than to replace the whole valve. You are right though, in my experience the bigger check valves last longer
we laid several hundred feet of 1" and 3/4" PVC in a few hours...we used a sub-sodder. Glue a cap to the end of the pipe, tie a few timber hitches on the pipe to the bottom of the sub-sodder, then drag it down...then dig up the locations where you want to make connections...make sure you don't have any other utils in the way first...best to run it through a few times to make sure all roots are out the way first.
2:45 "What do you use those for?" ,, They're either for floor joists of for attaching roof trusses to the walls. Where you're at you don't have high wind loads... In Florida they're required for hurricanes.
Get some white nylon insert couplers if you ever plan to bury waterlines or brass or SS fittings plus get a self lighting propane torch for your plastic pipe. An inline check with a rubber poppet will serve you better. There are many PSI poly pipe ratings out there 160# is what you want to bury an rock your pipe cutter will help you a bunch when cutting.
A PVC check valve won't work as the vertical check valve on the ram pump as PVC check valves use a spring to close and that valve has to fall open by gravity.
I've seen guys build check valves using PVC pipe fittings, a marble and a rubber washer, I wonder if that would last a bit better?
I would opt for a rental trench machine for that line over a backhoe, way too much disturbed soil and you only need a thin line dug to bury it, backhoes are really good for other project to be sure.
You had me actually laughing out loud when you were talking about gangsters cutting off fingers haha!! Great video!
We use quick couplers like that to connect irrigation tape in the tomato fields.
I call those crash boxes.....set one up for my electrical work......old and new hardware misc fittings etc......always kept old electrical hardware ....it always came in handy when working in dated houses.......
Hi Cody, one way to get your water line under ground might be to borrow a neighbor's tractor with a plow and scraper blade. You could cut a furrow with the plow, lay the line in the furrow, and then use the scraper blade set at an angle to roll the dirt back into the trench. It wouldn't get it below the frost line, but it would get it out of harms way from the mower.
I was thinking a single ripper tooth might work. Maybe with one of the mesh strain reliefs for overhead power cords hooked around the tooth and literally drag the line below ground. Might just work for relatively short, shallow runs.
John Wells I like it! Your way would make less of a mess out of the field.
The pinch style clamps work much better on the poly tubing. They are cheaper too. You need the tool to pinch them, but it doesn't cost much either. If you're setting up a whole pipe system, it will pay for itself by using the cheaper clamps. The same clamps are also great for repairing garden hoses, they don't have the extra end that sticks out and cuts your hand when you tighten the fitting. Looks more professional too.
Cody, Ive been binge watching your vids for about two weeks now. What your doing is the coolest thing i have ever seen. I never comment on youtube, but your my one exception. You are teaching all things you couldn't put a price on. Thank you so much for doing what you do. All the love and support to you and yours. Thank you so much.
Thank you Jerry,
I know the PVC ram pump must be considerably lighter than the old cast-iron unit that you had, but how does it compare in efficiency and durability? Could you change out the mouse pad for a neoprene sheet and get it working? BTW I am so happy that I live nowhere near that supply store. I'd end up starving, penniless, and with a blackened, smoking credit card.
really liking those sun glasses. what kind are they ?
I just wanted to say, since I've found your videos, not only have I immensely enjoyed them, but I've been influenced strongly. Being a kid growing up without a dad or grandad to teach/show or simply influence me to Learn how to take care of tools and other things you display on your channel, you've become an overwhelming source of such skills and basic knowledge of days gone by, and days of present. Keep up the fantastic work Cody. Kind regards and God bless, -Patrick
Same here
Thank you.
I noticed that the valve was closed on the ram pump's output. Could that have anything to do with the water tower not filling?
Question , the water that spits out on the ground from the ram pump where does it go? Can you suspend the ram pump over a basin of some sort and pipe that water to irrigation ?
It goes into his pond, which is where it would have gone if the pump wasn't there in the first place.
Top tip, if your finding it hard to fit a pipe on a connector, put the pipe in boiling water before, then you can easily slide it on the connector, because the plastic is more flexible.
I don't think those types of check valves will work with a ram pump as its takes too much pressure to push the valve. The flap valve does not come up against any resistance.
I do not know if someone's ask you this what do you do in the winter. Doesn't' freezes.
This video also briefly highlights a trend that developed about 15 years ago -- the "boutique-ization" of junk and thrift shops. I remember a time going to Salvation Army and no-name thrift/antique shops bursting with stuff that was stacked high and sold cheap to just keep it moving. You had to dig more but could find true bargains. Now, they sort out the "good stuff" at an elevated price. No fun anymore.
i iike the wind monitor on the garden post during the end card. it seems to be the only thing that moves on pristine slopes of Mt.Fuji
after you activated the ram pump, did you remember to open the valve to allow the water to run out to the tank? If you look at your video, you can see that the valve is closed. @16:00 the valve to the right of the expansion chamber.
i think its at the final setting he worked out in an earlier video
actually I think he is trying to do to much with to little, aka he should use a bigger pump.
If your ever over to Wisconsin, be sure to check out American Science and Surplus. I can spend hours and hours there, been going there since grade school.
he just got back from wisconsin
Cody another great vid. Just wondering if Sears has sent out a repairman for your DW?
Thanks
Quick tip for when your using the red rigid cutter, as your squeezing down on it rotate it aswell cuts easier and gives you a better finished end
Can't wait to see Mrs. W's reaction to the work you have done!
Cody just subscribed to your channel I have property on Bruny Island a small island off Tasmania which is a small island off Australia so I live on an island off an island off an island 😊 loving watching you do your pioneering forestry etc my family were doing much the same 125 years ago keep up the great work cheers mate Rod
Cody that check valve is very similar to the type we build in developing countries for their ram pumps
Nice! Felt like,I was shopping with my brother or an old friend thanks.
He's already got a ripping tool on the back of his tractor. He might be able to do it with that but may have to make more than one pass, and a bit of jury rigging to get it to go deeper. Maybe there's a blade that will cut deeper. The other thing to remember is to watch out for any utilities especially when near the building(s).
Cody: next time you work with Black Irrigation Pipe use a Propane Torch for a few seconds to heat up the end of the pipe. It slides on to the grey fittings much easier and goes all the way on with out a hitch. That's the way the Pro's do it.
When I lived on the farm and where I live now they used that black pipe. The pipe on the farm was buried 4 feet in the ground, and it was a pain when it started springing leaks. I replace the black pipe here. I wouldn't suggest anyone to use it for water lines. Maybe you could cut it up and use it to herd cattle. :)
If you just want to cover the pipe in the dirt, a single bottom plow will make enough ditch to cover the pipe a few inches. in a big hurry. You could even make a feeder arrangement to pull the pipe in behind the plow and a drag to pull the soil into the ditch.
você mora em um lugar muito bonito.
love videos like the start where your just looking around the
town
Love the Restore place. We have a couple here that i tend to spend lots of time looking through. Some times i get way more then what i need hahaha.
It seems so relaxing to be out working on the property in the country.
Could you stick a lanyard on your 940 to make for easier pocket retrieval? Love the videos Cody!
I knew you'd have a deeper appreciation for how much Mrs W does while she was gone. Having a partner who does a lot allows us to do a lot more than we could without them.
That floor jack at the start of the video is use for the edge of the wall where you can't fit you stapler, you can pry the planks together so you can toenail the tongue board. Price wasn't too bad, probably 65% off brand new.
Hit the end of the poly pipe with a blow torch for a few seconds. Those fittings will slide right on like butter. Very nice channel. Awesome videos.
Very thoughtful of you! Even if my spouse got me just the premium garden hose, that would make my week. If I had a spouse...
That store was incredible
For a moment there, I thought your shirt might be... giving something away.
At 4:42 you had a foot valve with a pretty decent sand strainer in your hand
Hey Cody you said you need something to dig for the pipe. There is something called a ditch witch you can rent at some places
We have a similar store in our area. I could spend hours in that place, just looking! The neatest one I was ever in was in PA. It was all underground caverns. You needed a guide in the place!
My family and I love HeartRacer. It's kind of funny; I usually don't like "little dogs" (rat dogs, I call 'em), but HR is cool.
------
Man, I wish there was store like that near where I live.
------
I have a ratcheting pipe cutter. Works on PVC up to 1-1/4.
----
They make PVC flapper check valves (aka swing check valves) , not just spring-loaded ones. The flapper is made of rubber with a PVC weight in the middle. It acts as the hinge and the seal. I used to get them at Home Depot, but I don't think they carry them anymore. I suspect they require less pressure to open, so you might consider trying them out.
That second hand store is soooo cool,Wish we had one near us....That check valve is a cheap design,try a more expensive version,might last longer.
The best pancakes I've ever had were at The Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg, TN. They were cornmeal pancakes. Fantastic.
I bet you could build a trencher with a small engine, scrap metal, and makeshift digging head. Design it to attach to your trailer hitch receiver and trench in an air conditioned truck! If you have a receiver on both the front and rear, put the trencher on the front and build a hose reel with guide for the rear.
The brackes you wondered what they were for was joist hanging brakets they fit to the wall and you hang the joist in them
