"The only thing that works in an antique house is the owner!" We live in a 1730 Sea Captain Home and now old pipes are giving us problems as well. Always something!!!
This is so true. We own a large brick, older home and we will always find problems. The older we get and not having money as we are now senior citizens, so we are wondering if we are the ones to carry on? BUT if you are able it certainly is worth it in any way you can A.ways will be found, if meant to be. We will know we gave our best either way. We are only the present keepers of the gem If people can help.they certainly will. A rare trophy some have and the larger the home the bigger the gem, the harder it is to continue on it.seems.
Things are a catastrophe when n it happens to us . We are the ones who are losing money. Time. And energy. BUT: NEVER think that someone who tries to.look and stay calm. Have had to become that way with traming but to not ruin their health. They have found perhaps that things do normally work out. YES, this is a problem, and maybe bestbto.cancel some futurebebents? Once this is fixed all wiill.be fine. And.prayers it can be fixed quickly. The right professionals like Raymond (when Raumonf calmly says one must do.something, it is vitally important even if it is said calmly) With patreons help. Your work and money .and and Amy extra gifts we can pray. It will come back as soon as professionals can get this fixed. I am wishing I had money to.help!! But am positive some would be happy and able to give for at least this direvn eeed,! Everyone needs water and we do not understand unless we have not.had it
As an engineer I recommend a vertical tank at the pump station that would hold at least one days worth of water. A check valve to prevent back flow as well.
When the water came rushing in on Luke, I knew that Julie wasn't filming because there would have been a lot of screaming!!! I'm sure most of the viewers were screaming loud enough for her to hear panic across the pond.
You are so lucky to have Raymond and your other helpers who know how to keep an old home going! At least today, you are back in business. We know there will probably be something around the corner to face soon. Thank you for trying so hard to keep your beautiful home running and preserved so that many can visit it!
We have a state monitored small water system at our business in Oregon. They wanted us to chlorinate as it had some harmless bacteria. We did not want to do this and we put in a UV system..which the state was skeptical of, but we proved it is adequate disinfection. Been using it for 8 years now..and no chemicals to drink or handle.
To put this crisis into perspective, my MONTHLY water bill used to be calculated at around 1,300 gallons. Twenty thousand liters is almost 5,300 gallons! And California is in another multi-year drought! For a farm, losing that amount of water is critical. You have my sympathies and my most hopeful wishes for an easy, not-too-expensive repair! Bless you all for all you do!
It’s a “refreshing “ job you are doing Luke! I love how fearlessly you approach every challenge! Your parents raise you right! Blessing to the family. Thanks so much for the laugh! All in good humor.
Hi Luke and Julie. Hope u can fix all the water problems. With all your rooms I'm glad I only have 12. It's too much for us. I can only imagine. Good luck from taunton Massachusetts
I know how it feels not to have water for days,,,being I live along the gulf and the hurricanes leave us without electricity and water. A very valuable necessity to have!
Goodness! Never a dull day. I hope the issues can be resolved and as efficiently as possible. Best of luck. Gotta love Raymond- he is so calm... which I can understand as he is not the owner and incurring the costs- but having someone who will not over react and wind you up over an issue can be good medicine while sorting it out.
Good job team getting through a water crisis! Best attitude by everyone esp Raymond and best effort by Luke..we must all learn to keep calm and work through our trials. How are the countess and earl going? I hope they are well we miss them on the Channel.
Renovations are always there and never end. There are special rainwater channels around our palace and we have a solid melioration in the park. Rainwater can also be collected and used inside the building thanks to a special pump system. It is also worth investing in cogeneration, in CHP, with a home solar and wind farm. At the beginning of the 20th century, the central heating using biomass was working efficiently in our palace, so today we have no problem adjusting to the standards.
I guess I’ve never thought about where these huge estates got their water, I’ve always thought England was so wet. It is unclear from your video where the water in the underground concrete bunkers comes from. In the early 1900’s, a lot of homes were built with cisterns in the basement that were accessible from the kitchen or a washroom. Water from the roof flowed through gutters into the cistern. If it was full, a valve could close it off. The water could be used for washing or cleaning. A friend recently renovated a house and found one of these systems. Unprocessed water like this can be used for a lot of purposes.
Hey Luke, you and Raymond are a great team well done on the water issue. Raymond's son is so handsome, tell Raymond the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Julie, I love your hands on approach and "getting into the mud" as they say you're always learning. Knowledge is power. Great job everyone. Love from NY.
I hope you’ll be able to restore and replace the water infrastructure at Mapperton. Best of luck, enjoying your videos very much, Julie’s too!! Praying for rain 🌧
Sorry to hear that is happening. Best thoughts for a solution. We city people are fortunate in our water availability. 💧 we don't consider it until something happens.
So the crack showing up is the same reason that you shouldn’t leave a pool (specially concrete) empty. The pressure from the outside dirt has to be counteracted by the pressure form the water inside. And time I guess. When there isn’t any water coming in it’s hard to keep the reservoir full. The drought is affecting every part of life.
I definitely know this issue. We're in an 1883 Victorian manor house that has a Sturgis related to your Sturgis. We've spent literally tens of thousands now in plumbing alone. We are in Cheyenne Wyoming.
I was very nervous when Raymond and Luke went down the small opening to check the water!! Steve and Liam are awesome!!! Hope the water problem never happens again. Love from Vermont
It's like the worst problem you could have with a home that requires immediate attention !!! Thank God for Raymond, aye !? Bonus...finding blackberries 😋
Never a good thing to be without water. Glad you have such competent people to help with all the different going’s on at Mapperton, especially when someone is a crisis. Good on Raymond for staying calm and carrying on. Life at Mapperton is always an adventure that’s for sure!
Thank you for sharing your unfortunate situation. I can sympathize as I had a "flooding issue" with a broken pipe in my upstairs bathroom which flooded most of the house. Praying that you are able to get the right help and that it will be fixed very soon!
Luke pops up out of the busted Water Tank Disaster & then out of nowhere Julie pops up sparkling fresh & beautiful in a gorgeous dress proclaiming the "Absolute Joys of living at Mapperton!!!" Was that purposeful?!? 🤣 Bless your hearts guys! Many thoughts & prayers! 🙏🙏
Thank goodness for Raymond’s demeanor and skills. I like the idea of a system to collect the gray water. Hope it all gets sorted quickly for you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love the sense of humor when troubles abound. Love the beards guys lol but running out of water is a pain. We have and I’m in just a little trailer park , just goes to show it can happen any where and it’s a pain in the arse. Yours is definitely more distressing as you have all those big buildings and they are spread out were we aren’t. Glad they figured out the problem so you were able to fix it.
I feel for you all. We have a well where our water comes from (down in our woods). And with this super dry weather (in New England as well as jolly ol' England) we are worried about it drying up. Fingers crossed for you and your team.
Nothing worse than getting up in the morning to brush your teeth and there's no water! When you rely on an aquifer, deep well, pumping system, and purification system you never know what can happen (I know we've lived it but we didn't have a village or cafe or business to run from our place). Sorry for your troubles and the drought in Europe. Your drone footage showed the very dry and parched land. Sad for the trees and plants that are usually so lush and green in England.
Well thank God you seem to have gotten a handle on things, Luke I was having a heart attack for you when that water started pouring into the reservoir. As many have said you are blessed to have so many good people working for you. It may seem strange to say but you and your crew are becoming like extended family. Please take care of yourselves. ❤
Love the stories and videos. This one had me thinking, why are there not several water tanks above ground of 30,000 litre and connected to say the down pipes of the buildings then inter connect via pumps. If need be hide them in period like sheds or behind fences. Hopefully you have detail drawing of current pipes. Appreciate the complexity of property and maintenance.

The joys of homeownership times a million! I too was concerned about Luke getting trapped in that underground reservoir! I’m glad you have such a dependable and competent team to take care of that beautiful estate. I don’t know if you own maperton or if maperton owns you!
Raymond and Luke - the scariest thought of getting caught down there w water flooding in. I would have panicked. The father/son team from Sparrow... YEAH!!!! I cannot imagine the repairs at the estate on a daily basis - thank you for carrying on and bringing on and educating on historical building. All the glory and not-so-much glory either.
Broken water pipes are horrible. When you are use to having clean water come out of the faucet and then there is none it's hard to deal with. You don't really think about things like that until you don't have them.
Wow .... your lawn looks as bad as mine here on Cape Cod! The Montagues certainly have your hands full with Mapperton.... I give you credit Luke and Raymond for climbing into the holding tank... Raymond is the equivalent of our Tom Silva here on "This Old House"! "Stay Calm and Carry on" applies here!
See children these people are hero’s!! Not sports twits with bad behaviour !!Did you see how much strength it took to connect the pipes? Without water we have nothing!!!
There's not a whole lot you can do when you're not getting sufficient rainfall - drought is a problem in a majority of countries around the globe. We're suffering here in the U.S., with no water in some places and too much water in others - and no way to reasonably control it unless we learn how to control the weather. And that's just a pipe dream. I am SO sorry for your problems. I have a sweet spot in my heart for the historical homes of England. I hope you are able to find a solution to the water problems, but really, unless one is a multi-billionaire, how are you to install a brand new water system and even with a new water system, where is the water to come from when the climate is changing and is much more unpredictable than it used to be. Good luck, and best wishes from this fan in MIlwaukee, Wisconsin USA.
Our governments do understand weather control and have used it from the 60's which makes one really question why there is too much water in some places and not enough in others.

It scares me when I see the drought and flooding all over the US because I know with our antiquated water infrastructure and climate change it is only a matter of a short amount of time. We no longer water our grass and give our gardens a minimal amount of water. So much of our country’s smaller communities have extremely old water systems in need of repair.
I wish I could get to your estate. But I live in the USA and don’t even have a passport 😢. I so look forward to seeing your videos. My condolences on the loss of Queen Elizabeth .
Yikes, water problems.....but still concern about your heat this winter. How does Mapperton heat/electric itself? The prices are extraordinary this year, right? Much love from Tampa...so love this channel!!!

wow! What a nightmare for you all! ell done to the guys that fixed that leak! I just hope you do not have anymore that have not been discovered! 😬🤞Good luck with ht all! sigh!!
I love Raymond. He is so right. Crisis needs to be worked thru and don't panic. Be calm and Carry on. Not so easy to do in Crisis.
Equanimity…. Balance
Everybody Loves Raymond.

I really enjoy seeing the maintenance side of things at the Manor 👍
Better to have it done now then in the Dead of Winter when its horribley cold.
Soooo true, Elizabeth!
I think Raymond has the right attitude about handling the crisis and not going into hysterics.
Seems it may be more practical to swap the underground water reservoir with a new polyethylene tank; and abandon the old one.
I know how it feels not to have water for days,,,being I live along the gulf and the hurricanes leave us without electricity and water. A very valuable necessity to have!
Yes, let's hope it continues to stay quiet this month....luv from Tampa

Never expected to feel tension with one of your videos! Yes, I also have the fear of flooding while in an inescapable container.

Give that man a new pair of Wellies!!!
"Get on and sort it".... good advice for life! Raymond is a treasure, and also wise.
Water problems: the joys of country living.
I was totally on the edge until the water came back.
Great work team
Water flows again at Mapperton.
Very difficult work! Congratulations on a job well done!!!!
Something to see Luke soaked and then Julie perfectly dry and all dressed up in a lovely dress - oh, the contrast!
Luke pops up out of the busted Water Tank Disaster & then out of nowhere Julie pops up sparkling fresh & beautiful in a gorgeous dress proclaiming the "Absolute Joys of living at Mapperton!!!"
Was that purposeful?!?

Bless your hearts guys!
Many thoughts & prayers! 🙏🙏
I noticed that too. Seems like their typical couples humor! ❤️
Glad you got some of it fixed.
Thank goodness for Raymond’s demeanor and skills. I like the idea of a system to collect the gray water. Hope it all gets sorted quickly for you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Us too!
I'm glad you were able to find and repari the problem!!
Raymond's view is well put. I really appreciate these on the spot camera footage! Thank you!

hi, is the estate planning to add more water storage and rainwater catchment systems to help deal with worsening and more severe climate and weather?
Without water nothing can function. 🌎

Anyone else wonder why Luke is so formally dressed while performing repairs?
The English way.
Jeans, button shirt and Wally’s seems like casual English county attire for a Man Luke’s age.
@@tabuhurt1593 maybe so, but to perform pipe repairs?
Yes, for doing anything. It is very British.
He's Brittish, but he's also a ham. We love him for it.
Luke's airblown hairstyle looks pretty good without much trouble!!🤣🤣🤣

I clapped too when those lads squeezed that pipe together!👏It was amazing, I think I was helping them pushit together!😓😂
Raymond knows what my grandfather always said in a crisis ... sometimes you just need to get the mule out of the ditch!
Is this drought related? I have heard parts of the UK are in unprecedented drought.
