Good morning! Almost doneeee can’t wait to watch to the end!

[@MigraineCraftsman]

Mornin Sir, top of the mornin to ya.

[@waianaegal744]

wow... I knew it would be more cuz I'm on 5 ac and will need septic, which is going to cost $6500. my city water meter cost 3900, but I also have a well with deeded water rights. Here in western Nevada water is a prime source. You do not want to give up your water rights. And I knew the extra cost for a holding tank and electric to the pump house. The well was drilled in 2003 but never used. There is also a water meter on the well so I have a certain amount of water I can use, 1/4 ac feet... aprx 82000 gallons per year. This is all very complicated but such a benefit. I'm still living in my motorhome, Since the pressure tank and well/pump hook ups cost about $4400 it set me back some. Septic will not go in until late Feb/early March 2021. Thank you for all of what you put on your channel. I've been able to watch all of your videos knowing that I have a reasonable source of information for what I am also trying to accomplish. Build my SMALL home with no mortgage. Thank you again for your wonderful source of information.

I am glad my little channel helped you, it always makes me smile when people are able to get something out of what I show.

This is all great information to know, and interesting to see, thank you for sharing.

[@chrisbabbitt4202]

One of my favorite channels on KZbin. I was wondering if you can, if you have not already, go over the decision making on the house when you look at city rules like setbacks and such. Thank you so much.

[@MigraineCraftsman]

The first 2 episodes of this series I talk about that, and will in the future builds. Take a look through my playlists, you can see things happen sequentialy.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for the explanation. 👍😁

[@Paulxj-]

Kudos to you for stressing this is a job for professionals. I’m in Minnesota and it’s pretty ugly when a water line freezes and ruptures. MN state law requires professional sewer contractors to insure the work.

[@danielq.4371]

Enjoying your videos!! I'm trying to figure out the budget for my own home. I'm going to try to save money by doing the framing, siding, roofing, and sheetrock with trim but I know the electrical, hvac, and plumbing are going to be expensive.

[@MigraineCraftsman]

A lot of people recommended mr cool for calling as a diy, you might want to look into that, I might do it myself at some point. As for electrical and plumbing it all depends how much competition you got in your local area, less competition more expensive, as you probably know. Gotta make some phone calls, that is one part of the job that is overlooked, lot and lot of phone calls .

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Best $3700 ever spent right??! Agreed, some things are best left to guys that can do it with their eyes closed!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

The water and sewer cost is definitely cheaper than in my neck of the woods. I would be a little hesitant to bury that pressure regulator valve underground 0:48. I had to change out an old one some months ago and I was glad that it was not buried. Thanks for the timely video updates ... seems like its time to to set your eyes on another build project since this one wrapping up nicely.

[@MigraineCraftsman]

At 0:48 got a nice cover on it as well it was nice and neat when they were done. As for future vids I am planning a couple of things, we'll see what pans out.

[@Jollofpappi]

Very detailed video! Do you always get the home built before running the water and sewer lines?

[@popester8068]

My recommendation is to surround all buried pipes with pea shingle aggregate to avoid puncturing when the soil becomes compacted from settlement or weight over time. The pea shingle will flow around the pipe and fill any voids underneath. Most of the videos I watch are the basic minimum requirements and not to many have standards above that.

[@claytonjames4779]

A lot of jurisdictions require that. Not sure why they didn't here.

[@scorpio6587]

Awesome

[@GOTBADRAP1]

I’m so jealous of you! Let me borrow some of your plans and crew.. 😊

[@dreyruiz]

Hellow Sir, I really enjoyed your videos. I'm planning on purchasing a lot that is 2.5 acres and is about 200 feet away from the street where the main is located. Do I need to pay the water company to bring the main inside my lot or can I connect to the main on the street?

[@jl9678]

I just want to let you know your channel was inspiration for me to build my super simple budget house. The money goes quickly but I'm shooting for less than $70 per square foot. If you hire out your excavation eg digging that trench, you can save a lot of money by renting the mini excavator and doing it yourself

[@MigraineCraftsman]

Those are $600 a day to rent so to be honest it's just not worth it, have a pro go at it he'll be done sooner and do a better job since he's got more experience. If you cant finish in 1 day for whatever reason now your bill just went up for couple more hundred bucks, some jobs are worth paying people to do (IF) you are dealing with pros. Lastly I'm glad I can help you with my little channel, /cheers.

[@jl9678]

@@MigraineCraftsman wow 600 that's high. Where I live a mini ex can be rented as low as $175 a day. At 600 a day or wouldn't be worth it

[@MigraineCraftsman]

@@jl9678 $175 would be worth it, the place here is the only in town and the next one is more then 30 miles away, so they take advantage of that.

[@jl9678]

@@MigraineCraftsman that's what I call bs. But that's small town living. It has some disadvantages but many advantages. Where I am if you rent on Saturday you get it for two days for the price of one day.

[@dennispope8160]

What type of pipe was used for the direct buried water feed? I’m looking to bury a feed to my garage workshop and am conflicted on what to bury. I’ll be digging 3ft deep I live on Long Island NY

[@MigraineCraftsman]

PVC 3/4 inch is what you should use, you can go to 1 inch but your water pressure changes, I would ask around in your local plumbing supply store and they can give you an answer as well. Different areas will have different quirks and rules/codes, but places that deal with plumbers know your local lines and water plants how they work and what the best practice is for YOUR area. Construction is a tricky beast lot of variables pretty much for everything, that is why there is so much drama with certain subjects.

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

If u call the technical support at the water company sometimes u can find nice people that will tell u what they prefer to use.

[@repairdrive]

Not only do we have to have the water line deeper but in the Chicago suburbs is rare that the water meter is not inside the house.

[@anonymousbyproxy8250]

In the South is outside.

Is there anyway you could’ve built your cabin for cheaper like around $60,000?

[@captin1058]

I've been thinking of making my own RV Park, do you know how much it would cost to build sewer and water

[@MigraineCraftsman]

Hard question to answer with limited info. Take a look throught the channel to see how much septic tank cost me on a cabin build. As for water digging wells get get pricey, also hooking up to city water will differ from area to area. Visit your local building department they can answer some of those questions and even point you in the right direction if it needs be.

[@michaelmolter6180]

Did those prices include the "connection fees" that the city typical charges for sewer or water first connection fees?

I dont think so. Generally they are expensive, electr, water, sewer - about 10 k in Central NJ.

What are the steps to building your own house? From foundation to moving in? I need to know. Is it the same every time?

There is a lot of variables, I would say it's never the same there is always something different with each build. As for the steps take a look through my playlists they are sequential and you can see what gets done when.

@@MigraineCraftsman Review them 😂😂

[@Uptalk]

I would highly recommend using a actual Philadelphia rod not a tape measure with a transit. Also to use sand minimum of 3in below pipe and 6 above to help with weight of soil to no crush the pipe. The sand also makes properly leveling the pipes, really easy. If you did this yourself you could easily do it for $2,000 ($500 vehicle rental, $600 in sand, $500 in plumbing, with a 20% waste factor. (aka oops factor)).

[@dreamtoreality9892]

Wow that is really cheap . Here in Cecil county Maryland it cost $15,000 for a water and sewer hookup at the street. As I figured it It is about time to get out of Maryland. It is absolutely beautiful but it is absolutely expensive.

[@cassie1dueces]

Cheap thing to add when doing this: add a backflow preventer to keep your lines from backing up from city/septic
