In Germany, property lines are marked with granite blocks about 4 x 4 x 20 inches. They are buried upright and almost flush with the surface. There are markings on top. I used some old ones, buried upside down (so the markings confuse no one) to mark where the underground lines (water, electrical, sewer, ...) ran. Once a year I made sure they didn't get overgrown with grass. One of the smartest ideas I ever had. Sold the house 17 years later and the new owners know where everything is.
Good idea. You could also use GPS to map all of your underground lines and map it into a graphics sheet. You may be able to remember where all of the lines are, but years down the road, your kids or new owners will need to know where everything is.
In some places in the Eastern US, Those property markers exist. The District of Columbia has all the original marking stones in place and it is a fun search to find them all, including the ones on the VA side.
15:58 NEC code requires you Label your circuit breakers, use your electric panel box Label template and Identify each breaker and market down on the door template what each breaker controls.
putting heavy bags on a semi wide flat mouth shovel and dragging them like a sled works well , instead of lifting . aluminum is nice . slide easy and is light.
That will be nice to have the faucet out by green house. Yes Jewels did a fantastic job digging. She might have a side line gig to do with the digger. Thanks guys. I always enjoy your videos
I suggest a water shut off valve to the frost free faucet. We put several in with our new water spigots in case of trouble. We can shut water off to one or all the spigots until repairs are made. But we still have main house water.😊 Our shut off valves are reachable from aboveground through a riser and using a long hook to turn off the valve (our water lines are 40"+ below ground).
Recomendation Always wrap a tracer wire around underground lines, so you can put a tracer tool at one end and find it Second recommendation, put Yellow Caution Tape approx 1 foot above underground lines, so when you dig you will see the yellow caution tape before you get to the line
Wasn’t going to watch, cause seen you do ditches and water stuff. But thought why not. Then to watch the Misses do the mini ex work I’m like you go girl. Pretty impressive, good job Won’t judge video caption anymore. 👍👍.
Virgil just made a trench ( grateful for a great neighbor that owns a backhoe), from our frost free hydrant to what will be the middle of our 50’x50’ new fenced in garden where we will install another frost free hydrant. So excited for this project!
making our ranch here in Spain we ended up running water, power and internet lines all over and putting ground service boxes.... you never know where you will need it.
Hi Johnson family things to think about next time when putting water lines under a porch from inside the basement to 5 ft. past the edge of the porch use a 2to4in. pvc pipe to run water line make easier to replace also run a wire along line to find line with a locator in cold temp. put 1to2in. syofoam to keep from freezing it is a added cost but good insurance. advice from a former well driller and pump installer of 30 years in Mn.
Still loving your videos, and the idea of your frost free hydrants are such a fantastic idea and so simple. I’ve watched many of you guys put these In but to be honest I’ve never seen anything like them here in Wales U.K.. I know we don’t get temps anywhere like yours but after working on a dairy farm for 26 years I know what it’s like to suffer frozen pipes and taps (faucets). Keep up the great work😊😊
Make sure you cap the drain bucket on your hydrant to keep dirt from plugging up the drain rock. 😊 Aaannd….you did. I knew I should have watched a little longer. 😄
I see that Brady & Heather on "Raising Voyagers" have this week also been advertising the same "Boom-Box", only to prove the point as to how waterproof it is, he immersed it into a barrel of water...it came up good - no leaks. You might like to view their site,all about how they are renovating an old stone farmhouse in Northern Italy, after they moved there from the US of A.
I wonder why you are not measuring and marking the location and depth of the pipes on some sort of master plat plan. I also would have laid some caution tape over the pipe before backfilling. If you have a sunny day you can lay the pipe out removed from its store wrapping in the sun. It will become more pliable that way. the big snake analogy is so true. I just use a concrete block as an anchor point when prepping for laying. Rebar bent into a U shape is good too. For the filter of the bucket, I have used a standard lid with a hole drilled in the top. the trick is to slice the hole like cutting a pizza. You then come back and cover the cut-through to final seal it. I would have laid some filter fabric under the bottom of the bucket so silt does not get in from the bottom. If you do not already have one get a DYMO D1 labeler. It allows you to print out neat stick-on labels for things like...Electrical boxes. Just like writing on wires where things are going the labels keep things organized. Having shut-off valves at strategic locations is such a handy thing for doing afterwork. Are there backflow and pressure relief valves in the system too?
I really like you guys. I operate an excavator most days, I would love if my lovely wife could or would do it too. We could instantly double our productivity.

The shots of Tux running in the trench are fantastic!
Awesome time lapse at the end. You can see the vents opening and closing on the greenhouse.

You need to mark on a piece off where the and and mark the electric panel box also
Those over hang porches will do wonders for passive house temperature mitigation both winter and summer.
A good tip that Perkins Builder Brothers use for marking a footing to be dug is they use flour which they say is cheaper than marking paint

Great job looking good. good job getting below the frost line.
Very interesting!!! They have so many new gadgets that they use to not have !!! Talking about the No freeze spicket .

Great job family, water at the greenhouse, yeah!❤🎉
Was cool seeing your automatic vents opening & closing on the end shot 👍
How about putting the faucet right inside that front corner of the greenhouse? This way any hoses are kept inside.
making our ranch here in Spain we ended up running water, power and internet lines all over and putting ground service boxes.... you never know where you will need it.
cool!!!i like your guys and your vedio style!!!!!!
Job well done

Tux is a great supervisor!
Please please please finish the siding on the back part of your house! Btw, love the videos 😊
You need some Boundary Tractor stickers to go on that shiny Kubota KX!

why you were back filling , the glass house the vent were opening and closing along with the roof that was a good demo of how it works
I love you family. God bless you allways
Ya'll did an awesome job with the hydrant addition to the greenhouse. Julie could operate that excavator with her eyes closed...😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️

Good job
Very cool, but what about the access to under the house from outside? What are you doing with that before the deck?
Keep smiling
I really like you guys. I operate an excavator most days, I would love if my lovely wife could or would do it too. We could instantly double our productivity.
Did the other rooster fall down hard into flour, egg and Panko bread crumbs and somehow ended up in the fryer…lol!
Didn’t see you check the hydrant for leaks or proper operation.
Tux is so cute! Great job on the excavator, Julie!
dibangun terus menerus jadinya bagus oke lah mantap
Wow Marty maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan and Jules Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan , good job maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Just curious why you didn't run the water all the way into the greenhouse? It would seem more useful to me.
Why don't you put the hydrant inside the greenhouse?
If you still have the mini-ex, put a water line into the green house, you'll be glad you did. One inside, outside!
Why not put the hydrant, inside the green house?
way dont you mark the line with plastik band ?

Now grass seed time
Why so deep for water line ?
So that it's under the frost line and the water won't freeze and break the pipe.
Omg Martin that so funny the roster had accident and he fell down and is not more lol
Potong Ujung sayap ayam nya pak Martin, biar gak bisa terbang tinggi... seperti cara memotong bulu sayap burung parkit
😅😅😅😅😅
Why don't they put a tap inside the grean house
You didn’t show the water flowing!!! Oh man
Where sarah ???mr jhon
Pak martin .... kok nggak ada terjemahan bahasa indonesia ..... di vidio vidio pak martin terbaru ...😐
Marty you say “man” way too much, what’s up with that?
Why are you making such strange noises?
