- I Was Wrong & It Cost Me
Today I show you all finally hooking up the rural water to our homestead. Now we have two water sources for homestead. I was totally wrong when figuring this job out and I was so close to it really costing us.

What a job! Tell the guy he's done a fantastic job trenching all that for you. Hope all stays good!

Ť⁵and you
Great job, Dutch!! That's a lot of work but I can imagine that you saved yourself a couple thousand (guesstimate) by doing it yourself! I bet you enjoyed that shower afterwards!! Happy for you guys to have that working for you now. Blessings to your family!! 💜❤❌⭕
So happy there was no leaks, thank u Jesus for helping them get it done an make life just little easier for the whole family .🙏🇺🇸
Hey Dutch good job. I think you made the right move to hook up to town water for the house and use the well for the animals. Always nice having a back up. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
🎉 Brandy is going to love water in the house ❤🎉
They`ve had water in the house from the well.
Thanks for the love. Back at you.😉
Congratulations! You did a great job with that project. And it is done before fall sets in too. No more stressing over that, you can cross it off your to do list. Bet that shower felt good!
You can get by without power but not having water is a whole different dilemma I've always kept 10 or 12 gallons of water at the ready to flush the potty and drink I live in northern Michigan and loose power about 3 times a year seems like spring and winter it gets pretty nippley but I keep warm by the way Dutch you look like your shrinking great video
His head has gotten smaller, I noticed that too 😂 jk
Bobby is your site Supervisor. Keeping a eye on things.
You did a great job! I can only imagine how accomplished you must feel having hooked up the rural water to your home. Good idea to have your friend dig the trench for you. Prayers for no leaks. 🙏🏼
Enjoy watching you folks!
Never a dull moment in your homestead! Have a productive and safe week !
Dutch what another hard job you've done brilliant job you don't care how hard you just don't let it beat you , all this leaving off the grid is okay but not when you've not enough power and have that generator going . Nothing would make me live like it again you're spending more momey trying to get it right I'd put electric in too the Solar Panels as a back up no harm in having electric , you've a lovely home great land have electric for the girls be comfortable get lights around you're property . So easy to have a better life and live it without worrying about power I'm so eased you've got water, feel so sorry it's so wet this year for you and the family God bless you and be proud if all the work you have done with such a big heart ♥ ❤❤❤❤
Get that Electric in there Brotha, Forget about the OTHERS who are Off Grid 💯💯💯💯
Good job, Dutch! A labor of love to provide a life giving resource for the family. We can tell you're losing weight too! Keep up the good work!
Looks like all y'all's hard work is paying off. So happy for you❤❤❤
Back when a kid (other siblings too) had to help my dad dig a well on my parents property so we could have water. All by buckets after buckets of dirt and rocks...hard backbreaking work !!!!
Good job 👍 !! I bet you are glad that you got that job done?! Great helper too...Ms Hadley. I bet that shower felt good ? Well deserved too. Take care. God's speed Dutch family.
Great job ! You accomplished what you set out to do, that’s all that matters.
🌻👍🏻👍🏻🌻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Most of us out here couldn’t have done the work you did. 👍🏻❤️High five to Hadley for helping.❤️
Awesome job on with no leaks. You all work so hard and it is really paying off. Hope you enjoyed your shower and got some rest after all that work. God Bless you all
WOW! What a job! Nice job to you, and I think you said your friends name was Jack. So glad there weren't any boulders in the way! Nice that Hadley came and helped you out. ❤ Bobby did his usual inspection.😂 I am so happy that everything worked out and no leaks. Now to enjoy a nice shower without worrying about the water. God bless.😊❤
Great job. Congratulations. Nothing like having water security at your house❤
Did you put a back flow valve check what the hales oter creek happen to him
Hey Dutch, good Luck with Your Water. The water was pretty & clear.
I noticed You Put Your Knee on the shovel to keep from getting real dirty and not go down in the dirt.. I enjoy watching Your Videos! Nancy
Prayers for You ,Family ,be careful in this heat ❤
Nicely done! Thank you for sharing your journey ✌️💞🤟
I commend you for fighting straight through all that waterline work. It isn't easy and you did a great job. Your family will really appreciate what you did for them.
Great work Dutch! Congratulations…..enjoy that shower!
Love your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working on your rural water
I put my last water line and septic leech fields down to 4ft just because I could. I had a local farmer with a backhoe help me whilst I was out there working on it with him. I love having the local farmers help me with work as they always could use the money, and I don't have to pay extra for them to drive 20 miles from town because they are my neighbors already.
I'm half way through this and see you're installing Ts and shut off valves with no junction boxes? You can easily purchase irrigation boxes. Hoping that's the final product? Guess we will see
😁for future my friend split a Gatorade bottle and duct tape the top of it covering the weep hole on bottom of hydrants to keep debris out of it it’ll prevent a future leak in the weep hole especially if your going RW great work buddy
Nice work, Dutch! We're finding ourselves (bodies) too worn for such work now but loved, and miss the hard days and their rewards 👍Great life skill as well. Thanks
So proud of your hard work. Your family is blessed that you can do so many different things. Take care of yourself.
Looks great and good to put the hydrants in now while all open. My only suggestion would be to put a clip/ bolt to lock the handles down so they can't accidentally get turned on and forgotten being kind of off the normal paths. Having the house on rural water will make everyone's life easier with not having to time showers, laundry, ect.
Awesome video and so happy you have this great water system. Praise the Lord. Great Procedure completed, Dutch you are fantastic
So glad you got it done. Congratulations!!
Woohoo! Kudos for such a good job and the plans that will help all the animals you plan to return to your homestead.
Great job! You are so hard working!
Like your idea of using the rural water for the house and well for the animals and outside chores.
I had a new well put in 220 feet deep into and thru ledge. The rocks you have are pebbles compared to what was in my yard. I have boulders and they were enormous and I kept them so when we did the gravel driveway they were used as a support wall because my land drops 2 feet on 1 side. They were going to take them but charge me for the removal. I said how about just moving them near my boat so when the driveway was finished the asked me what I was doing with the boulders and I said those are for that area. They thought I had boulders delivered just for the driveway. They moved them, with a skid steer older than me and I’m 60. 1 made the skid steer stand up and it landed on the front door. Hydraulic fluid leaking everywhere and came back with a backhoe
Great job Dutch and that is a lot of hard work.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
Awesome job Dutch!! I knew you could do it! 😊😁have a good evening n try to relax w/the family 🙂😘God bless you 🙏 😊 ❤️
Hi Dutch and Family. Always cost more than you anticipated. That's the way it goes But will great when finished. God bless and love yall ❤❤
I know you enjoyed that first shower. You did a great job. Keep up that great work that you do
Whew! 😅 That was huge undertaking and you did an excellent job! We get so used to having running water and electricity and don't realize how valuable it truly is until it's not there.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 yeah you're doing a good job I'm glad you got some water in we're going to need the city water whenever everything else keep it up I love your you're right to the point on everything you do and that's good
I knew you had a plan to cut the costs. Great job. ❤️ That is going to give you a feeling of security, to have the rural water for back up.
Enjoy watching you working on getting your water and no leaks. My fingers were crossed and praying that it all went good. Stay safe
Thanks. Some of us can use your complete explanations. Glad you told someone you were putting boxes at you junction. Good work
I added community water on my property for a tiny house for my dad but he passsed away before we laid foundation. It cost about $1000 to run lines but we had meter but not used we on a well to add one electric poll wires over the road and under ground cost about $2000 that was almost two years ago. We had to rent a thing to trench
Look for arrow heads in that loose dirt
Dutch, great video. Congratulations on your back up water system, one less thing to use the generator for. Hope you enjoyed your shower, one less thing thing to do on the homestead. David, Utah. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤.
Great job. Said a prayer for you Have a wonderful evening. Love you guys
Glad everything went good. That’s one problem taken care of.😊😊😊
On your outside hydrants, you should have put a layer of gravel down first. It helps to keep them from freezing up in the winter. It lets the water drain out into the gravel. If not, the water can pool up and freeze it up and it doesn't matter if they are frost proof or not. I am speaking from experience.
Good job.
Good job! It's amazing how much you do. Love your channel. God bless.❤
YAY you have water!!!! 💓💝💘❤💖 watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great day!!!!
I prayed for you. Wow you were worn out! Thats hard and hot work. I hope you enjoyed your shower and rest. Great job Dutch!
Great work. Well done Dutch! 🎉
You might want to put some one-way valve on your outlet from the well and the real water that way if your real water goes out and you use the well, you’re not pumping water through those pipes into their system or vice versa. That way if your valves fail, you’re not going to be pumping a bunch of water, one way or the other
That was probably one of the best decisions to have dual water source.
Live on a farm and have rural water plus a well. Animals will use a lot of water so use the rural water for the house and well for animals. Also, put a T-post along side the frost free faucet and secure it to the post to give it a sturdy base and take some stress of the PEX
Aren't you supposed to put pea gravel under each frost free faucet, to disipate the leek back each time the faucet shuts off? You soil may be gravely enough, but it might be good to do it anyway. If you can't keep air around it, it could freeze up.
You all are going to love the better water for your household needs, for sure.
You can always screen the dirt yourself before you backfill the trench
You just have baby rocks!lol Soccer to basketball size are most common up here, until you hit something that's heavier than a full size pickup. But I guess that's why they Call this the Big Stone, region.
Congratulations on no leaks 😊. God bless you and be safe 😎
way too many connectors My water line from the Meter was only 12 inches below surface it went to the hydrant and wye to the trailer...... we were at the 800 ft level of the mountain the part from the trailer to the water line was heat traced. .never had a problem in 15 years coldest it ever got was minus 10 degrees in winter
It is a great feeling finish a project. You should have your family help you so you don’t have to stay in the heat so long.
Good job Bro, lot's of work there! Enjoy that shower, a good meal and some relaxation!
Always enjoy when you have a little helper, Hadley is a great helping hand. The pex will be fine, as long as no large rocks are backfilled on it. Love ya'll ❤
Great job Dutch. Such a hard worker man
I hate plumbing! No matter how hard I work on a project, there’s always a leak. I end up calling a plumber and he either does some tiny adjustment, which cost me a service call, or takes it all apart and adds some piece I never knew existed. That, of course, costs an arm and a leg. Good for you in knowing how to do everything. I really enjoy your vids. Best of luck on all your projects.
Great job today on laying that waterline. Gonna be great. When you get it all finished and all the shut off valves on were that you can just switch from well to rule water anytime you want.
Congratulations 👍
I may have misunderstood what you were saying but if you said that valve, you installed, will give you two valve protection between the well and county water, that is incorrect. If two valve protection is what you are seeking, you will need to install another valve in the black pipe on the well side of the tee.
mMy husband and I just ran our own water line. We did a lot of the work ourself to save some money. But we are finally in our house. But still a lot of work to do.
Love watching your channel and your family ❤
What a awesome job! Very happy yall have water. 💙♾️
Good job Dutch! running water
I’m so glad you decided to bring in water. There if you need it, to have choices is awesome, especially through the winter. Electric is another choice, though I understand what your doing, but having choices isn’t a bad thing 💗🌸
Excellent job. Have a great week. Thanks. Chris from England
So….one viewer thinks you don’t know how to do hard work just because you take your time!! How do they think your property has grown and developed to what it is today! ohhh, That’s right you have a magic wand!!🧚♂️. Keep doing things your way, it’s perfect!! God bless you and family!
🙂👍
If you roll it out you avoid the twisting
Having that second water resource is a good idea. Glad everything worked out take care ❤️🙏👍😊✨
Good job! Prayers for you and your family with all the hard work to get your homestead settled.
One of my favorite TH-camrs
😊
Congratulations! Enjoy watching all you doing as a family. God bless 🙏🎊
Our water line is down 6 feet under ground but I am in Colorado but my son hand dug it out tis summer and replaced my dads old line with that one inch poly plex.
Good job Dusty. Get some rest. Love and proud of you for all you do. Stay well.
Thanks for liking my comment.
Dutch, you are lucky for being a country boy. My husband grew up in the city and doesn’t know how to do anything. I am a country girl and he is a city boy he doesn’t know how to mow grass. He doesn’t know how to do anything outside the house. We knows how to use an electric weedeater that it.
Praise the Lord! Good job Sean! That was a back breaking job! You probably paid for that today! Praying you’re not too sore and stove up from laying all that water line! Love and blessings from this old Bama girl!❤❤❤
Great job, Dutch! I learned a lot from you today! Think I can do this now! Good luck with everything!❤❤❤
20% chance of rain is not a probability. It means that 20% of the viewing or broadcast area will get rain. 20% is like 1/5 of a pie. Best thing is to look at a weather map and you can see where the clouds are and which way they are heading. I'll pray your homestead is in the 20% even when the storm is north, south east or west of you, just as lonhmg as you are on the edge of all the systems!😊
When i sow you pull the pipe and did Harmonica Move, my heart skipped a beat 🤣🤣🤣 ( NOOOO ) ROLL IT OUT 🤣🤣🤣
I have not been watching you since you did a Roof on the House aka Last year.
Dutch I ran underground crews in my previous life and this brought it all back to me wish I had been there could have helped you save time and muscle fatigue! Great video
You should be very proud of yourself (and Hadley) for a job well done! Really impressive!
You know you might have put a utility box around that shutoff could have made your life oh so much easier when you have problems. For good stability in a farm sort of environment in this case woods where wildlife will rub against and even try to push an unusual thing over you might have taken a tpost dug a hole right beside where your frost free spigots would be and counter sink the depth so the top of the t-Post would be about 5 inches below your handle. But for best stability pour them into buckets and fill with concrete and sink that below your waterline. Once water line is covered come back and literally using screw type automotive hose clamps clamp both the faucet pipe and the t-post together providing it a more rigid support. This helps in protecting your water lines from being stressed by animals moving the pipe attached to the freeze free faucet.
Sheesh! He ain’t done yet!
@@terryfoster5215 True but he shows none in the supplies he has gotten.
Don’t forget gravel around your frost free hydrants . 😊
Sean, have you thought of a building an outdoor shower?
I love outdoor showers. It seems like it doesn’t take as long and easier. I would love to have one
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
❤ Hobart Tasmania Australia 🦘 watching this beautiful family ❤
Great job!
That was a good days work. Well done.
I am telling you this from experience, those hose clamps that you used will rust through time and will let the water line come apart. I hope it doesn’t happen to you but you can’t never tell. Hope you have a blessed day.
