    Great job with the water pipes. I would put a brace under the pipes as when that tank fills up its going to gush out of there and weigh more. Hope you all have a fab weekend.

    • @curiouscat3384

      Agree - I have a similar setup and noticed a slow drip at the tank adapter when the pipes started sagging from the weight. A cinder block on end just happened to be the right height to support the pipe on mine.

    Yessssssss ! You got it ! The overflow on the second tank is your vent ! No need for an overflow pipe from the first tank to the second !
    You should put a screen on the overflow to prevent mosquitoes from coming in and reproduce. Good job !

    I was watching this on my TV and then I found it on my phone to comment. Do yourself a favor for the kitchen island and get yourself a rolling toolbox with a butcher block top. It’s the best thing for a kitchen island you’ll ever find. Seriously. It’s the best. Mine is stainless and matches my appliances and looks awesome. Plus you can easily roll it whenever you want it.

  • @patrickbarber8187
    @patrickbarber8187 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    Looks pretty good
    You may well need a brace of some kind in the middle.
    Yes it may be a good idea to remove it in the winter because it may freeze

  • @slsmith4786

    Jason a simple fix to support your “canon” would be a chain or bungee wrapped around the pipe and attached to the bars of the tote cage.

    @7draxo 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Jason, Add some metal straps to put more support on the 1 1/2" pipe to the metal caga of the tanks. To take some weight off the faucet
    connection.

    I would definitely brace the plastic water line. I could see it bouncing when you turned the water on. The kitchen with the pantry looks beautiful!

  • @gaylewatkins4685
    @gaylewatkins4685 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Love this video and your ability to see what you need then make it happen. The center brace is a good idea. Just something for the pipe to rest on to take the stress off the joints. 👍 Did you see Al from Lumnah Acres wearing your logo winter cap in his Saturday video? 🥰

  • @TobyCatVA
    @TobyCatVA 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I am going to vote for bracing the pipe with a simple shelf-type thing that won't hinder pipe removal on super cold forecast nights.
    I eagerly await Lorraine's Island adventure and an autumn high tunnel update.

  • @kkeenan536
    @kkeenan536 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hopefully you got some rain from the hurricane. I was so thankful I got a good bit because I’m sick of watering!! I think a brace for the pipe is a good idea, especially if it’s going to be hanging there full of water! Turkeys are beautiful and I love their sounds 🎶

  • @mikeplummer8904
    @mikeplummer8904 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    When you figure out how much water you need to use for all your needs, then you’ll know how many tanks to build. Always remember to have plenty extra too.

  • @Grandma_NC

      I think it attracts the heat, may break down/become brittle sooner.

  • @curiouscat3384
    @curiouscat3384 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I can't tell where your tanks are in relation to the future pond area but you could attach a hose to the 2nd tank overflow hole and run it to a swale or something else you'd like to keep moist.

  • @ChristinaMoore79
    @ChristinaMoore79 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    You did a great job with connecting the tanks. I have to agree with the idea of having some kind of brace for the pipe to help prevent sagging. Also, loved seeing you playing with the turkeys (which are huge, by the way!).

    I think your a very intelligent person. You have thought out your design with pros and con of why you made your water system this certain way. Not just an outlet for a regular water hose hook up. Very efficient system. Hope you can have your design on your web page. Save all the water you can. Now back to the island build. Saw her gleam and smile of her dream island. Essing

  • @rebeccateaford7798
    @rebeccateaford7798 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Use pool noodles from dollar tree to insulate and definitely put a brace on that because when it starts pouring that water really fast it could snap and I’d put braces in the middle between those two tanks for extra support. That’s a lot of water you’re gonna be collecting great job.

    Excellent answer Lorraine. Putting a pause on instead of stopping. 🛑⏯⏸ The food is so good coming from your kitchen that doing more, the better the food gets. I agree some bracing needed. Keeping it simple so its easy to remove pipe. I think your Water cannon puts out about a gal in 5 seconds. Fun video and beautiful looking turkeys.

    I say wrap your water pipes with an insulator of some type. A pool noodle is probably to small, even if cut in 1/2 or 3rds. I had a hot tub and one of those valve things. It was rounded off from the previous home owner. I tore the thing out and the tub too.

I bet you'll end up wanting to brace that pipe, but time will tell. It's nice you can remove the whole thing in one piece!

    Hi Jason. Glad you got your rain water system done. The amount of rain water you get is amazing !! And it’s free ! ( other than the cost of catchment systems). Imagine your water bill if you didn’t have it. 😮 I was thinking how the home and improvements on it usually take a back seat to the farm itself. Only so many hours in a day. Plus cost is a big factor. I’m happy for Lorraine to get the kitchen started on its fix up. You guys are so impressive 😊

  • @bow.9496
    @bow.9496 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You need some slope to the pipe connecting the two bins.
    Also, you have hot and cold water bins. See the handles. Though the hot water is typically on the left. :)

    Nice work! I hope we can make a rain harvesting project like yours. I’m thinking you could install an outlet valve in the middle between the tanks so there’s no chance of it extending past the tanks. Then provide a support system for the middle section between the tanks. ❤🎉

  • @Patricia-z7t
    @Patricia-z7t 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think you might need a support in the middle of the long water pipe. Maybe some type of bracket or support which is attached to the water container's table. Water is heavy.

  • @rayyoung7780
    @rayyoung7780 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My experience with those pvc valves is the more frequently they are used the better they do. It’s when you let them sit for a long time that they seize up.
