Plumbing Water Lines for New Building

Late June 2021 - Finishing up concrete work and doing some plumbing for the new building.

[@Dixar]

I like that your dad is getting more and more into it with your filming. The solo filming he did, although a bit short, was very nice and I think you make a good pair (partners and father and son).

[@bobrobert6277]

he did a good jog :)

[@chriscrosby8012]

Loved this video Eric. If you have anymore cement to lay have Evelyn put her handprint in it She will love that when she’s older!! 🙋‍♀️😊

[@genekagarice4263]

With you doing that plumbing work shows that you are a master at so many things on the farm. Alot of intelligence is shown.

[@steveneal2706]

awesome video Eric. Its really lookin good their buddy. Thank you

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

Looks like putting those grooves into the wet concrete with that long-handled thing takes some mad skills. Props to the workers doing that.

[@waterbug85]

I think they call that long handle finishing tool a Bob Float. I will get corrected if I'm wrong.

[@justinlarrabee7932]

How he makes time for all this extra work ontop of his every day routine is head spinning

[@kalle8836]

It’s diffrent every day

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

That's why I think farming is the most difficult job on the planet. No clocking in or out for a farmer. The money coming in is directly tied to your work. If you don't do it, it isn't getting done

[@CaptKody]

KZbin pays almost $4000 per million views, it's worth his time.

[@trinitydairy]

Can't believe how shallow, you can have the water lines buried, here in Minnesota, we have to go at least 6ft deep, or they can freeze over winter, if we don't have enough snow. New barn is looking good!

[@hoosierchef7727]

Love the video. Big shout out to your dad. Love ththe fact that he gets involved in the video telling what's going when your busy.

[@karlreed541]

I grew up on a dairy farm before going into construction. As a retired builder as well as being a Christian author (The Joseph Books) I find your videos quite interesting. Thanks, my friend!

[@FureFarms]

It always brings a smile to my face when I watch your videos.

[@DocPortland]

Those crews seem to be so good at what they do. The finished product always seems outstanding.

[@robynmorris7945]

Nothing like having to work in tight space, on a hot day, with a blow torch as you helper. Great job Eric and Dennis.

[@TracyFenner]

short and sweet, you guys are busy, would love to see some at home life, dinner with the family, church, whatever. thanks for the hours of entertainment and how things run on the farm

[@richmaniscalco201]

It’s great to see your father and son working together in this day and age! Barn is looking great.

[@mattmartin7321]

That's pretty cool that you can shut off each waterer individually

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

A lot of progress since I last watched. Beautiful area.

[@robertmontgomery4085]

I really appreciate how you two work together!

I'm sorry to hear that.

This is definitely my favorite channel.

[@jesusisGod1434]

It’s coming along great! Thank you for the upload! God bless you and your family.

[@kanakamaoli9642]

That new barn is moving along quite well, these update videos are interesting, being from a construction back ground myself it's interesting to see how things and building codes differ from state to state. Aloha Eric🤙🏼

[@bigdcarmichael]

When I was in high school and community college, I worked with my father and uncle. My father was a building contractor. I wish I could say it was more peaceful like the way you and your father work together. I spent out of my time counseling my father and uncle so they wouldn’t get into a big argument before the concrete came for houses. That’s a big reason why I went to to get a masters degree in counseling. But I did enjoy the construction field. 😀. Great video Eric. Next time you bought a hole with a concrete drill, try using a cold chisel too. 👍🏼

[@steveadams99708]

I do so appreciate the extra work you put in filming so we can join you on your daily rounds Eric. It's the next best thing to being there. Thank you!.

[@TheGilbert48197]

Thank you for showing the new barn it looks great, it look hard putting many water lines and for good also

[@jarenchristiaens3505]

I think it’s neat to see how the barn slowly is completed.

[@Classifiedreality]

I get tired watching all the work you do!!! But I still wach... just lying down..😉😉😉😎😁

Hi Eric and dad it’s going be awesome barn and video is excellent and you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Can’t wait too see when new building is complete. Looking great so far

[@dantomlinson4407]

Thank you for all the food on my table. God Bless you.

[@thomream1888]

one of the best comments ever!

[@threehammers2516]

Good call putting that drain pipe in. If there is one thing I’ve learned from home ownership… it’s to get water far away from your house/garage lol

[@CAPTAINOFGAMING]

Just to make sure that the pipes or the valves in there will never freeze you can put a piece of foam on top of them to act as insulation and you will never have problems.Congratulations for your work all the best and blessings from Greece.

[@bobmccown4588]

New barn is looking great!

[@mandykal]

Looks like dad’s shoulder is doing good. Hard workers you all are...

[@jeffreyworth6860]

Great video eric, thanks for being a farming family

[@kathyk479]

It's been very interesting watching this barn go up! Thank you! Like that dad wrote your names and the date in the cement! That will be there for years to come!

[@T_P_W_ThachoZenjuan]

I'm so excited with how this coming along. I can not wait till it's done. 😁

[@asquithmainlines699]

Happy Canada Day Everyone!

[@tracyshewell9544]

Great video. Those men do fantastic work

[@jeanniearnold7906]

Your barn, etc., is looking GREAT !! Can't wait to see it finished.

[@kaylajason8917]

Just a idea we're the water main manifold is. If you can run a wire and add a light bulb holder or outlet. If it decides to get real cold you can add a 60w light bulb in there and it keep it warm and won't freeze. We did this to our underground pump house and works like a charm, we thought ground temp would be good but once it drops below 15 we have trouble. Also be nice to have outlet anyways for future repair or service. Great job as always

[@davepelfrey3958]

I would say you guys are more than excited to be getting this done. Really good and fun to watch it all come together.

[@JD-ce4so]

Just a suggestion. I would install that gutter drain further away and add a tee with a few feet of perf pipe In both directions off the tee. This will help slow down the flow and stop erosion.

[@iowANFarmer]

We put a manifold in about like you did a few years ago for a shed. Concrete pit and everything. We went to the hardware store and picked up some 2” pink board, cut it to the size of the pit put a sting in there for a handle. Slid it in the pit for insulation propped up by a few short 2X4s. Never had a problem. Good for thought.

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

I like that idea thanks

[@iowANFarmer]

@@10thgenerationdairyman61 you bet!

[@misterv4462]

Your Dad carving his and your initials in the concrete was neat!! My Dad passed away when I was 16, so we missed out on a lot of those little things. Love that your Dad is doing some speaking and some video. Y'all are a great pair!!

[@mariodumais2153]

Lots of hard work and good money I'm sure but this barn is coming along nicely. Kudos!

[@michaelohalloran7381]

Never knew that was how a hydrant water valve worked… thanks.

[@Purpleburple107]

Your going to want to put some rocks or concrete under that drainage spout because in a few year it’ll erode a huge hole. I learned that the hard way. Love the vids tho Eric I’ve watched every one for the past couple years.

[@MrTefe]

Its crazy how Eric can work and film at the same time.

[@danfinley3690]

Wow coming along really nice

[@drooplug]

I recommend some Insulation for that concrete pit. Cold air sinks and I don't think the warmth of the ground will be enough to prevent freezing. You could do it a few different ways, but as long as you have something between the top of the piping and the opening should do it.

[@timstoffel]

It would definitely freeze some years in Wisconsin, don't think that part of PA is that much warmer in winter.

[@gustavorojas6380]

I can't wait until it is finished love the hard work

[@iainwalker8701]

Lol need to get a SDS core drill or a chisel for your SDS drill. I was on the edge I'm seat thinking the box would shatter. Ace job as always guys.

[@carynix8043]

Another great video

[@heathern5214]

Love the video! Have a nice day!

[@keithkuckler2551]

The older concrete gets the harder it gets, it cures for a long time. That looks like some hard stuff to pound on.

[@carolynrose753]

From the days of when concrete was mixed by the barrow load and an extra shovel of cement added for good measure days is my bet.
