its funny how america even consumerizes "off-grid living"

Shouldn’t you be trying to reuse that beautiful wood?
@BreakingNewRootsКүн бұрын
Oh absolutely! We are reusing all that we can. Unfortunately not all of it is coming off easy and is breaking. And some of it, like this wall is pretty degraded once we got into it.

How does leasing work with large property? Is it lease to buy?

The same way as a small property. It’s a long term lease.

Good job! I have had to do the same thing. If you treat it like a wringer washer, you can save on water. You can also have two drums sitting beside the washer into which you pump wash water into one and rinse water into another....then using the pump, just put back in and reuse it multiple times if it is not to grimy. Just a thought as hauling water to do laundry is not fun!
@BreakingNewRoots3 күн бұрын
Oh hey! That’s a really good idea! I know the water we get is free and we aren’t really wasting anything but after conserving water for so long it’s just hard to think about how much water is used to wash clothes 😅 I didn’t include it in the video but we are running a French drain out for the drained water so once that is all set up maybe I’ll feel better about it. Haha.
@dhansonranch3 күн бұрын
@@BreakingNewRoots One doesn't realize how much water things use till you have to start hauling it in and./or out. Your water may be free, but it is still a job that has to be done - and if it can save you a trip or two to get more...time saved. Good idea on french drain.

Practical learning is always the best teaching method. And as a tip for the social media lady, here is a tip. the most viewed You Tube videos are 15-mins long or less. So, in the future, just do more editing and break up your videos into a "Part" series that can be viewed quicker by viewers and get people more interested in watching a "Series" vs. this long 46-min long video which I do not have time to finish watching unfortunately. I still gave you a vote up and I am subscribed, but I do not have enough free time to invest in watching long videos. But good job everyone 👍👍

Just viewed your video and I believe the answer to your water flow problem is to install a Ram Pump which works without electricity.. The Ram Pump uses water pressure from elevation drop thru two apposing flapper valves that create water pressure to drive the water up to your RV location 24/7. To get a detailed explanation use KZbin search for Ram Pumps how they work.

Installed 100s of these systems on Montana ranches, always used a 1.5 diameter or larger depepending on your needs. If memory serves going to 1.5 over 1 inch is double the flow 1 to 2 inch is 4 times the flow its all about friction with gravity systems. Your on the right track with having storage on the other end. Out west we water lots of cows of .5 gallon a minute flow as long as there is storage to fill overnight.
