Finally...

[@OldPumpMan]

Crazy to me how far mobile homes have come 2x6 & 2x8 walls with lots of insulation. When my wife & I got married in the mid 90's we rebuilt a 1978 mobile home on our small family farm that was new when my uncle lived there. It was the old 2x2 & 2x4 walls & so cold in the winter & hot in the summer; but we were happy just to be married & living together. Almost 30 years later living in her great-grandmas homestead house, still happy to be together; but now we're older & really happy not to be so cold in the winter😀.

[@broc212]

I grew up in a 1978 with my dad and hated that thing with a burning passion "Candominium" You could hear a squirrel pee outside. Now I run a sales center. They are not even the same home from 2006. It is insane how how far they come and how they are building offices out of them now.

Mike, i ran on a modular set crew for 14 years. (East coast US) The height and width that the roads can handle up there is amazing!

[@Freefarmer533]

Exciting to see the house land! Put your well house over the well so u don't need to horse around with pitless adaptors, just make sure the well is in line with the door so u can pull pump years down the road.

[@wssides]

Does that plan go well with a reverse osmosis system in the well house?

[@Freefarmer533]

@wssides yes would work well, just trench out a drain flush line to a buried barrel with a bit of drain tile to handle the system flush.

[@bradtevelde6025]

Thanks for the video Mike, I enjoy every one.

[@johnjackson8561]

Couple of things I noticed as a builder and renovator, I would paint the OSB underneath with some tremclad so it doesn't deteriorate and don't get an RO water system it leaves it with zero minerals and eats away at anything that isn't stainless or nylon. Just saying. 😎👍🍻

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

RO water can be passed though a few food grade limestone chips to restore some hardness (Works best if followed by a buffer tank of 10-20 gallons so the bit of water that sits on the lime overnight is mixed with water that only had brief contact.). Or where the reason is just because of excessively hard water, mix the RO with straight well water to get half hard water, this also reduces cuts the RO demand in half.

@@Northern_Farmer The house I live in was put in place 50 years ago. Built 800 km away and trucked in in two pieces Lifted on to a hillside foundation with a crane. About 20 of them came into this city with the expansion of a coal mine. Seems to me even more went in to Thompson Mb even earlier and have since been moved out.

[@dennislamers986]

I'm from Wisconsin and basements are a positive for men. Great looking place Mike and interesting how they set it. I'm thinking around here they have slab to sit on.

That house looks awesome Mike. I have a whole house UV Light and a filters. Instead of RO System

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

That's much better than RO imo

[@Northern_Farmer]

Id rather have a basement...they are built properly now a days...i like to be able to access plumbing...having the heating and pumps in the basement is way better

[@aahZeiK]

Yea basements are a lot better that’s why everyone puts them in as long as you don’t build on low ground they don’t give problems $$ was probably the deciding factor for him

[@chadtosh6831]

When we built on this hill it was the same money to put in pilings or to put in a basement, so we went the basement route with a walkout door for a farm entrance.

[@joescheller6680]

Basements are a no no in my area unless you have flood insurance. They are nice but not good in a lot of areas.

I may have missed the house thing. The last talk of houses was accommodation for workers. So is Mike planning on making the North farm his home base and South farm is going to be what the North farm is now. Not quite understanding his future plans, or maybe we aren’t privy to those. Awesome to see him expanding on his own however.

[@darkrevenger04]

It is probably for workers and himself.

[@Rob-rk8jw]

What is with Drinkingwater in and sewage out? The space between the ground and house has much cold air in Saskatchewan to freeze the pipe. In Germany the Waterpipe comes in 80-100cm under the ground in the house. Mike, as a father to i wish you the best times of your life in your home! Family is the Thing we live for. English is not my Motherslang so excuse for mistakes

[@markzurowski3627]

In Saskatchewan, most underground piping is minimum 1800mm below ground. If it is shallower, it has to be insulated.

[@notpoliticallycorrect4774]

The skirting will enclose and insulate the underside of the house to the ground. Water lines in Saskatchewan are run 6 feet (2 meters) under ground, as to keep them out of the winter frost line. Mike will likely show this in following videos.

[@Rob-rk8jw]

@@notpoliticallycorrect4774 Thank you for your answer. Yes i think Mike will show it in the next Videos. Im a bit interested in Farming and like to watch Mikes Videos.

[@markzurowski3627]

The pile foundation will be far more stable than sitting on grade. The ground clay (which is common in Saskatchewan) will heave and contract with different levels of hydration and frost heave . Piles are installed to below frost levels to mitigate the ground movement.

[@jasonclark3127]

Congratulations nice house. At least they use a trailer to haul it on and not leave the hitch, tires and axles under the trailer after they are done to rot like they do here in Nevada

You should install the pump house the nearest possible from the house because the water under pressure is easier to freeze !

It is actually the opposite, as when water freezes it expands thus will the increase in pressure oppose this expansion. This difference is negligent on the low pressure in house plumbing though.

[@bigun447]

Living in a manufactured home myself, I doubt that your stick-built home could survive going down a highway at 70 mph, traveling over undulations and other road irregularities. AND having survived three direct hits in my life from tornado alley tornadoes I can assure you that not much survives as 250 mph winds make Hurricanes seem like a summer storm. Hopefully, you are prepared to bodily survive and if all of your family is OK then you go help your neighbors. So you might call Mike "Trailer Trash" but Mike will call it his family's home as even a falling down shack can be a home. I had a classmate who had brothers and sisters they did not even know and grew up in an old 4-room house with no windows but it was their home. Another classmate lived in an old dirt-floor chicken house with several brothers and sisters but their mother kept that dirt floor swept perfectly. Those classmates knew real hardship and worked their cabooses off to provide a better life for their kids. Times in the 40s with what today we call wounded warriors with PTSD returning by the thousands made for some very rough times. Sadly, my Dad never truly left a foxhole in Guadalcanal even though he survived another 30 years. Sorry for the long story but it irks me when people talk down about manufactured homes.
