How to bury a rainwater tank…… 2 feet deep.

[@bearnaff9387]

Didn't you previously upload this video?

[@suburbanbiology]

I did indeed. Sorry to anyone who has seen this already. I had to tweak a few things. I will try my best to avoid doing that again. I bet it’s annoying to see a video pop up as new when it isn’t actually. I’m new and still learning. Thanks for watching!!!!

For a minute I thought the Mandela effect was a thing after all and I skipped universes 😜 (After the pyramide remark I’m not sure how serious you take stuff like this but lets find out.)

[@suburbanbiology]

@@noeraldinkabam I would say that the mainstream understanding of ancient Egypt certainly seems to be somewhat incomplete. Hard to blame historians when what you have to go off of is older than dirt. I do not envy their job. Nor do I assume they are always correct. I had to google Mandela effect. What a crazy phenomenon!

[@Somewhere-In-AZ]

I never saw this before. But I’m new here, so…

@@suburbanbiology reupload label it as a geodome foundation wall to make flooring for cement floors for Geodomes ! Would be good for that to show how to bend the metal with rebar to get the circle for cement

Honestly thought you were a seasoned KZbinr. I am really enjoying the high-quality voiceovers and video style of your projects. Thank you for some amazing long-form content!

[@suburbanbiology]

I’m learning as I go. Thank you for your support. I certainly hope to keep doing lots more of this. Thanks!

[@plainnpretty]

I’m looking forward to what your doing next. Since you had the drone in the air why didn’t you give us a overview of your place. And I like to see plans of what you are doing or just a walk around with you telling what you are thinking? Thanks for sharing this

[@markryan3443]

Hello, I found you yesterday and watched the rocket stove build and the retaining steel wall today and I must thank you. Your method of explaining covers both build for dummies and for people with some experience without offending either. I love practically all that I’ve seen and how it’s presented and in fact am inspired to build your rocket stove clay build in an extension that I plan on building hopefully this year. Thank you so much and best of luck with all projects in the future. I’ve become an immediate fan and look forward to your following content with what I’d describe as a childlike fervour.

[@suburbanbiology]

I am honored to have such an impact. I hope your projects go well. Thanks for your support!!

[@ADAWC]

Me too! Thank you! Keep up the good work!

[@Somewhere-In-AZ]

I live in a very dry area. This could be a solution to my water problems, just for gardening. My household use is fairly conservative, so no worries there. Gardening and shade trees require more water than I’m willing to part with. Roof collection with the 5-6 annual gully washers we get could fill a pretty big tank. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@suburbanbiology]

You are quite welcome. Part two will cover more info. Coming so hopefully!

[@bushcraft3602]

I've watched all your videos so far I find they are very informative video. very calming videography and soundtrack (your voice).👍🌧 looking forward to the next video.

[@suburbanbiology]

Thank you!

[@ryanbroglie3963]

Thanks!

[@suburbanbiology]

Thank you for your generous support!!! I appreciate it. Good talking with you!

[@ryanbroglie3963]

You bet. It's great to find resourceful people with great skills, especially in the suburban environment. You are doing a great job promoting self-sufficiency. Now I cant wait to see your video on a micro-nuclear generator so you can be truly off-grid!

[@marcusdoolette1547]

Another great vid Kit. Thanks for sharing. More please.

[@suburbanbiology]

Thanks!

[@crawford323]

Looks like the Texas Hill Country. My guess Gillespie or Llano Counties. Nevertheless it is paradise. Maybe Bandera? Mesquite, Oak and Cottonwood. Limestone in the soil. Ummmmm outside the Llano Uplift and Llano County then but the shot of Enchanted Rock is a big hint. West of Austin and North of San Antonio. Fredrickerg, Kerrville? Anyway, I was raised in the area, now stuck in hot and humid country to the East. Hill Country Geology is fascinating. I very much enjoy your videos and appreciate your additional efforts to bring this all to us.

[@BlueDragonCustoms]

My point exactly, second he said “im from/in south texas” i looked at his surroundings and said “NO THE FUCK UR NOT!!” -born and raised in south texas

[@jasonjust-jason9489]

looking forward to future videos. Very well done.

[@suburbanbiology]

Thank you!

[@HenkJanBakker]

Looks cool. Love the design. Got to say though I would have poured those T-bar-anchors in concrete to be sure the will not cut through wet dirt. But it all seems sturdy enough for the task it has to fulfill.

[@suburbanbiology]

Part two coming soon. Eventually I closed the ring so the wall is much more stable since it’s a complete circle now. Thanks!

[@B30pt87]

Well done! I'm looking forward to the water catchment video, epecially since I'm designing one myself. I hope you get done before I do!

[@suburbanbiology]

I’ll post it as soon as it’s done. Progressing as we speak. Thanks!

[@cameronvanatti]

4:09 the copper tools were used to work sand back and forth to wear through the granite. It took a long time yeah, but there were also a lot of craftsmen working simultaneously

[@highlatitude64.84]

When in doubt, tip it out. Good advice.

[@boopalarajendran3263]

Keep going! looking forward to your videos😀

[@suburbanbiology]

Thank you! Will do!

Reminds me of the Texas Hill Country where I grew up.

[@Ethan-ls7ii]

Lmao at about 14:10, that’s the shit I’d do to see what people notice

[@suburbanbiology]

Lol. It worked!!! Thanks for noticing;)

[@ghostrideri6289]

ROFL Yep 14:10 and again at 17:50 with the "victory dance"

[@jeffclick1764]

I was going to comment but wanted to see if so eine else already had, hilarious. That reminds me of an old school game, but I cannot recall which... 😂

[@JosiahRitchie]

Was it a space invaders reference?

[@roadtriptovegas]

I had to stop and read the comments! That was hysterical

[@dragonite018]

I like your video. Have you thought about how you going to prevent the steel from rusting? If you use a sacrificial anode on the steel will never rust. And you keep replacing the anode to keep your structure sound for years.

[@suburbanbiology]

The certified installers of the tank itself, place two anodes underground that are connected to it. Thanks for watching!

[@brettnoss6220]

14:07 had me laughing out loud

[@dgblac0]

Great video.

[@suburbanbiology]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidacosta8060]

great job👍

[@Gardeningnature768]

Great job

[@stevewhitaker1474]

Nice rattlesnake rattles in the audio ...; good touch!

[@suburbanbiology]

Thanks!

[@kristakaufman-y6j]

The steel retaining wall would be good for a geodesic greenhouse hut foundation you should show them how to make it to pour the concrete floor part label it as that make a 2v 30 A and 35 B 10A foot and 8.8 B

[@r.h.b.4980]

I like your channel so far keep up the good work. But I am curious if you painted the retaining wall and if so with what, and if not why wouldn't you apply something to keep it from rusting away in a matter of a few years.😊 Sure looks good though. Oh a price breakdown would be great video as well and how much you save on municipal water.

[@suburbanbiology]

I added a price breakdown to the description of the rain tank video

[@SeventhTrump-kp5bu]

also, genius here...!

[@Jeropa]

Nice project and also great performance! Good job! One question: did you already made a cost-benefit of it? For example how many years needed to amortize it?

[@suburbanbiology]

I’m not sure if you watched the full tank video but the description of that video contains rough numbers of the project cost. The whole tank will take over 20 years to pay for itself. One must be motivated by something other than just saving money for it to make any sense. Thanks for commenting!

[@Jeropa]

@@suburbanbiology Thanks for responding so fast!! Yes, I'm watching it right now and found the main and very valid reason for storing the tank😅 As said, thanks and keep the great work (and videoclips) going! Take care!

[@FoodForestBrad]

You need a farm so you don't have to monkey around with squeezing the storage tank in such a tight space! Clever solution though 👏

[@suburbanbiology]

That’s my long term dream. Thanks for commenting!

[@kristakaufman-y6j]

Why didnt you get the plastic tub kind and connect several of them together with the pvc pipes for plumbing wouldnt that been easier or do you just love welding? You must do this for a living?

[@visanlala]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Thomas-xn6em]

I was wondering whether this rainwater is for human consumption? If so would it make sense to add solar panels to power UV lights to kill off bacteria?

[@suburbanbiology]

Typically the UV lights are used where the water is filtered (inside the pump house). UV is not mandatory if a small enough pore filter is used. I do indeed have solar panels but they are on the house. More details coming in part-two video. Thanks!

[@Thomas-xn6em]

@@suburbanbiology That makes a ton of sense, thanks for the insightful response, looking forward to more videos from you!

[@garygneiting4256]

Great idea, what was the total price?

[@coolnaeemdOoO]

Well man, what ur doing here; I think most engineers would agree they’d consider you as an engineer too. (It’s not the degree, it’s the problem solving; which u got).

[@suburbanbiology]

I appreciate your words of support. Thank you!

[@fletchbundy]

You don't die with water after 3 days. You have a problem with the 4th of July?

[@dougyoung2177]

Do chickens next.

[@suburbanbiology]

Planning a chicken video too. Thanks!

[@jstevo1349]

a backhoe looks so goofy sped up. like a worm wiggling around scooping ground

[@suburbanbiology]

lol. Yeah I agree. Like a little bug.

[@alk555]

Won't these welds and eventually the rest of the structure rust away in this configuration?

[@suburbanbiology]

Eventually yes. I’m hoping that will be around the time the tank needs replacing and it can all be done at once. Hopefully 30 years or more. Thanks!

[@mickawe3239]

It was with whips, the pyramids were built with whips.

[@metamud8686]

Those not-so-pointy-edges-anymore-after-cutting-parts-off are still quite pointy .. from the perspective of a video watcher at least.

[@suburbanbiology]

They are not that scary in person. But I still may try to add a bumper of sorts in the future.

[@peterdearborn]

@@suburbanbiology I wonder if some form of pvc could work as a cheap bumper for the top. Wouldn't last forever, but on the scale of maintenance cycle for the container itself, it's probably at least that long

[@kimber1958]

😊😊😊🥰🤪😝😜😏🤤

[@suburbanbiology]

Thanks for the emojis.

[@gabreilthompson5085]

4:17 Man you know you are doing this to better your life while trying to work rock. I know it hard to think this but if you only had copper tool and if you didn't finish the job to the liking of a man held as a " God" you would be put to death. I bet you could make copper tools work.

[@ObserveRecordRepeat]

In my opinion it's a waste: to put metal into a soil

[@suburbanbiology]

Had to do something to hold the soil back in such tight quarters. Tank video should be uploaded tomorrow.

[@darelbrookfield1762]

video good.......................music sucks!

[@suburbanbiology]

Sorry you didn’t like it. I try to balance competing opinions from these comments. I wish YT had an option to mute just the soundtrack if the music isn’t to your taste. Thanks for commenting!
