Extreme detail, and installation of our winter watering system.

[@TexasGuy]

Super simple and a great design. Betting this will work in all kinds of environments. Thanks for taking the time to share the details.

Thanks Mr George. Very helpful.

[@marvinbaier3627]

Thanks for the video! I sure like the setup. It gives me ideas on what to do in the future for me too. Right now I pretty much have 1 water point for my back pasture. This coming year I’m going to make more water points, but I’m going to lay the pipe on the ground. Then, in the future I’ll bury it. I haven’t decided specific where I want my water points. I might have to do a KZbin video on it because others give helpful comments on ideas on what to do.

Morning thank you for that video. I’m going to install one of them at some point. We are in NY and always fighting the ice. Have a great day.

Thanks for the how-to video george. It's always nice, to see different tips and tricks. I think it's a lot better to help each other and grow the movement instead of trying to be in competition and hide all the valuable information.

Thankyou George, that sure helps all of us in the cold north!

Great video George! Would like to see a video like this about fencing especially how you do your New Zealand corners.

[@georgeheller2281]

Thank you, I will work on it

[@davidjohnston5436]

Nice design!! Simple, elegant using commonly available materials. Two things I'd add. One, a handle for your lid. and two another layer of foam under the crushed rock layer you are going to add around the waterer. That will add significantly to the frost resistance in the ground around the vertical culvert. Sort of like the frost protected shallow foundations I imagine you've poured. Love it! Got me thinking about some future improvements. Thanks, George!

[@georgeheller2281]

@davidjohnston5436 one of my daughters called out the handle right away, I honestly didn't even think about it. I was thinking about laying foam down before the rock as well, I think I may do that. Thank you for watching, and the input.

On all my portable water systems I use brass water hose quick connect fittings, this may make it easier for you to connect the line down in the hole. also watching these videos makes me thankful we don't have winters that cold in Oklahoma

[@georgeheller2281]

I tried those out once, they leaked more than I was happy with. Gonna start using the plasson quick couplers this next season

Looking to add some sheep to our SP herd. Can you do a video on keeping the sheep in with the cows, fencing and feeding requirements?

[@georgeheller2281]

@ferree1709 yes sir, thank you for watching

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

Well done. Would it be good to put a wood ring in the bottom so the foam can't slide down more? This is definitely something I would like to do when i set up another winter waterer. How much did all the parts to put one together?

[@georgeheller2281]

I may just put a few screws into the foam through the culvert, it is in there pretty tight. I will have to put a cost analysis together for it. I hope we get some snow this winter, this drought is getting out of hand

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

We still have some snow cover here but not very much for the time of year.

[@georgeheller2281]

@french-canadianfarmer5049 I'm not really seeing any in the forecast either

[@elsaspezio3814]

Would a handle help on the lid? Or are you worried about the cattle knocking it off?

[@georgeheller2281]

@elsaspezio3814 my youngest daughter said the same thing, I didn't even think about a handle, I'm gonna put one on now

[@oxford821]

Is the water “public” pressurized? Or is the water coming from your own well? If it’s from a well, is the well pump pushing all that water the full length on demand or do you have a holding tank that has a pressure tank installed?

[@georgeheller2281]

@@oxford821 private well, on demand via pressure switch. We have a pressure tank to maintain pressure.
