The video was very helpful to give an overview of how to install a well pump that uses a pitless adapter. One bit of advice I would give is to unroll the pipe by rolling the entire coil along the ground. That way it will not be a big spiral like that. Also, put a stick through the spool of wire and let it unroll as well. Don't pull it off of one end. Same thing with the rope. Unroll, don't pull off an end. That is why stuff gets kinks and coils you don't want.

Wow....get the rocks out

I didn't notice til now, no foam under footing area so i suppose frost shouldn't get underneath too much with in floor heat warming the ground there

Just curious, no frost protection? That foam is not closed cell foam is it? No type of membrane over top of white bead board foam? That stuff will get soaked with water & lose all r value. Hopefully u're in a part of Alaska that doesn't get too cold other wise frost is going right underneath.

So do you cover the entire beads with mud or you are going to leave out the corner? Because it looks so smooth and glassy and I do not know if the mud will stick into it or and may fall off when it drys up. Am I right?

Okay. So my cracks in my bullnose corners don’t scare me anymore knowing how sloppy they are to install. lol

You make the mudding process look so simple, mine is nothing like that. I cant find the bullnose with paper around me, where did you get yours? I had to use the plastic bullnose, but it turned out ok. Just took more work. Thanks so much for the video!!

Good job guys

your dad is a genius

Nice to see the little helper, we built our house and ours were about the same size…. That was 13 years ago… now they’re building their own things

Thank you for making this very helpful video. Question. I saw you put the jaws in the plumbing crimper, but didn't see you use it.

Window casing to 1/16 above sheetrock then hot mud, tape, mud, sand.

Underground EPS need a peel-and-stick membrane.

We just had a well drilled in Oklahoma. Total depth was 180 ft. Pump set at 140 ft. Flow is 18 gallons per minute. $7000.00 complete. The water is a little hard but is treatable with a softener and RO for drinking water. I feel lucky to have the well we have.

We are professional manufacturers of HDPE large diameter spiral extrusion lines.

Where did you get your plans?

Amazing video, anyway you can tell me what the name of that flexible pipe you used to connect the water line and pitiless adapter? I need one and can't find it anywhere. Thanks so much!

So I discovered you are in Seward so not the Valley but I’d still love to talk about how this has worked out for you guys.

Did you do this in the valley? I’m in Palmer and am thinking about doing an ICF house and would love to chat.

What size/model pump and capacitor was used? I couldn't tell... we have to put our pump at about the same depth. I was planning on using a 1 HP franklin.

❤️👍

The 14 year old in me chuckled when things started sounding a little strange at 23:00. The 55 year old in me really appreciated the additional knowledge I gained from the vid

Congrats. And thanks for sharing your experiences. I plan to start my project this year and I hope it will be as successful as yours.

Wish he wasn’t standing like that in that unsafe trench

Miss y'all

I hope that its not too late to tell you. You need to build a lintel above all windows doors and all openings. You also need to place 2 pieces of vertical rebar on each side of each door window and all openings like those. These are very important for strength and integrity in these areas. Good luck. Tim

Really cool that you're doing this - these videos. Thanks

Nice house.Great job. Sorry about the blow out. Fox Blocks has an award for the blow out. It's called the Blow out award of the year. "Ya'll", Good luck to ya. Tim

are u folks in the valley?

Hey, just wondering how you guys are doing?

Could be an intetesting video but video taping an roof build from 20' away kind of misses most of the details.

Great work! I would love to hear an update on the house and how everything works. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video and information. I'm considering this method for building a hangar in Wasilla. What would you do different, if you were building another structure like this or shop on the property? Did you source the EZ Form locally, or bring it up from down south?

that is the wrong way to undo piping or wiring that is on a spool.. u want to undo it like thread coming off of a spool. that way it will not end up all coiled up.

Would have been a lot easier if you put the pitless adapter on the line and lowerd the whole system down together.

Why did they blast it at 200?

You need to learn to tape

Hey, how about an update - must be quite established after 3 years ? thanks

Thankyou thankyou..after listening to you at the end, budget and all. I'm am in a similar situation, I'm a carpenter, but pretty handy around most things. You give me the confidence and filled in the gaps for me. I had a temporary hooked up with pressure tank sitting beside well ($1500)..with a hose running to RV while I rebuild house after fire. But here in South eastern Ontario, the freeze is coming. So not only the 1000's Ill save, but the availability of a contractor to do what I need here...thankyou you thankyou!

Hey get that kid out of that trench. That was dangerous.

So, you don’t need to be licensed to install a septic system?

A wealth of information. Wow

Congratulations! I'd be very proud of that home. Would love an update going forward when / if you feel like it. It's been a fun series to watch.

Very informative! Thank you.

I had not imagined that such lofty "professionals" would trifle to share their sage armchair comments as they have here. They're sure worth every penny.

Oh golly, what paradise. Good for you.

His dad got you a subscriber. Very well described and the information was correct.

What part of AK are you in? Considering this in Willow.
