Having dug these all over southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, I have a tip: after you add the foot valve pipe and before you seal the top with the hand pump, add half a bag of volcanic rock inside the large bore (4 inch) pipe. This will help keep the bottom of the well from silting up so fast. Just a tip from experience!

Keep in mind that depending on where you live, water from a shallow well may not be safe to drink. Do your homework! I did this as a backup and for gardening. It is not a primary source of water.

[@anothercomment3451]

True. All soil, foliage, water, etc. is absolutely & permanently contaminated. Looks kinda like choices will be made to prolong the suffering ... but no soul escapes the inevitable. Faith in our heavenly Father keeps one focused on the Eternal life ... and not so much on this short, temporary earthly journey. The minions of the evil one appear to have little time left, and they know that. Hence, the zealous concert of crazy race downward with the confluence of world events. The Bible describes a New Order, in the Book of Revelation - which will begin, but not come to full fruition.

Once in awhile there would be a snake, mouse, rat in the well. There was no hot water, and we had a coal furnace, plus a hand turn roller on the washing machine. However, we had lots of the best home grown food. Started at a school that was just one room with a pot belly stove.

[@Inisfad]

The key to this is ‘fortunately for me our water table is not really that deep’ at 8:50. We had a well professionally dug….they had to go down 200 feet to find water. So, while this looks doable on the video, the actual key is how far down your water table actually is. Often, if you have a place on your land that is usually damp/wet despite rain, it might indicate a spring underneath. Or else you might need to try a dowser or diviner to help locate below ground water. There is also technology that can do this. So before you start digging holes in your backyard, it’s a good idea to understand the water table there.

[@benlubbers4943]

[@wildrangeringreen]

Shallow wells go back to the stone age. You usually see them at the base of hills and such. Dug wells are meant to give access to underground water, and hold it for later use. In a dry summer, they will dry up from use. You stone them in to prevent them from collapsing, and to limit silt infiltration. My grandparents used a series of dug wells for most of their lives, until they had a deep drilled well installed in the 1970's when they built a new house. Find a place that stays damp long after a rain, start digging. Dig until you start seeing water seeping into the hole, then dig some more (5-10 feet, will likely require cribbing until you can stone the walls in). Stone in the walls, cover it to limit things falling into it.

[@Inisfad]

@@wildrangeringreen I live in an area where there are many houses that still operate off of a shallow well, found, dug and supported, as you describe. Some of these wells have more than sufficient water in the winter, but tend to slow or dry up during a good summer. What is often done is that a holding tank is built downhill from the well, and that that tank is connected to the house. This way you have a number of weeks supply of water, while you’re waiting for the spring to run again

All the info I needed + no filler + lots of humour + wholesome goodness. Love this video! Thank you, sir!

[@DennisLofton]

WAY COOL. My father taught me so much. Now I know how to secure and treat well water.Im confident to do a good job.

[@MrMichaelWHenze]

I think it’s great that you had your children help you with your project. It’s going to instill the importance of family as well as building their self confidence and esteem

[@user-ls5jl5cg5h]

I love how ya'll are building this as a family! Your girls used the drill the right way 👏💪👍!!! The skit was great!! The camera lady was great too😃 Thank You for the fun and informative video!!🛠🔧

Hello

[@shinipapaya846]

Hi, TaCu how are u doing it's me Shini from UK 🇬🇧 in the city of Leicester I would like to be a friend with u if u don't mind.

[@Wildoutness]

Thank you, i was tired of every hurricane season losing power and thusly, my water. I now have one installed on my property!

[@roysmith7087]

This is the perfect father and daughter project. Looks like she's loving it too. Good project.

[@SithLandlord]

I'm jealous of your sandy soil. I could never do this with a hand tool. If I dig 4 inches down, I hit rocky clay soil and would need to use heavy equipment. I do thankfully have a well as....well?

[@unsane78]

Same

[@xrexc3179]

Same here. Even an auger for the tractor was inadequate. It ended up stuck in the red clay and lime stone. We had to rent a track hoe to free the tractor. I honestly don't know how I could accomplish this on my property

[@SithLandlord]

@@xrexc3179 same, I wound up renting a mini excavator last year to do some grading for a patio with retaining wall.

Love the look on your daughters faces when you ask them to do something, but they always do! A beautiful family!

Precious children, beautiful family 😊🙏

[@MobRuleRecords]

I love how you're just being real like say the wrong thing and just laugh it off and dont edit it out or retake i have alot more respect for that great channel thanks for the advise👌👍

[@marleneppaul]

I love that you’re teaching those young ladies how to do things for themselves. My parents did the best they could with me and my siblings and I loved learning important life skills. Great video

[@HeliPadUSA]

That's awesome that you have your daughter help. So many fathers have zero patience to show kids anything.

[@ginad9253]

I've been binge watching a bunch of your videos this evening and I just love the way you talk to your girls. It's always "thank you beautiful" and other sweet things. You set a fine example of both a parent and a man in general. Just a pleasure to watch. Much love to you and your delightful family.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you so much!!

[@marine8347]

Love watching this, also I have to give you credit for being so nice to girls when they were helping you out…❤️❤️❤️ If I didn’t learn how to drill the shallow well, for sure I learned to be more patient with my kids like my wife always been telling me, get them involved in the project, but I just went on my own and built it myself… I do have a great relationship with my kids don’t understand me wrong but this was a great project to include the whole family, one day they will look back and will say I helped my dad with this well , also looks like you’re having a very nice country place, here in the city limits can’t do this, I have to admit if I had a big lot next week I was going to get my kids together and build the well… you’re a great men, father, husband I think that you have Jesus in you!! Anyway congratulations and God Bless you and your family 👍❤️🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸

[@thefutureisnow8159]

You’re a great dad- including your daughters is awesome- they’re learning valuable skills

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks so much

[@lurmot]

This makes me want to dig a well. I never knew I needed one either.

[@lauragestes8847]

WoW! It reminds me of when I grew up, my dad didn't have any boys either. We stomped cement, clipped the hedge, put roofing down, helped with putting more insulation in the attic, and so on, and on. But we both learned independence and a can do outlook. My daufhter had two brothers and didn't pump her own gas until after she was 30. lol Love your channel!

[@Mixdplate]

Not sure what KZbin rabbit hole I jumped into but, I'm sure glad I did! This is an amazing DIY tutorial, done by an equally amazing dad and husband. You're a rare find. Thank you!

[@sukeshkohli475]

What a wonderful cute little red working handpump installed from shallow well dug manually. I loved the way you were teaching your daughters how to DIY, great dad!!! You have awesome skills which shows when used quickeret to build masonry around 4” pvc pipe. Thanks for sharing and teaching us how to install shallow water well.

[@jazzyjess12]

Hello

[@Mel-fe8db]

I love the girls help their dad, makes me miss my dad so much. Love it.

[@brianbrink1421]

It’s great that u have ur girls help. It’ll give them confidence to be able to do things for theirselves. Good fathering!!

[@dashley1967]

Love that you include your girls - even if at times they aren't fully invested or grumble, they are learning a lot! When they're older, they will be able to do things themselves. It's a master class in common sense and how things work. I spent much of my time with my dad and learning all I could while he was still here with us. As an adult, I can do as much as my body will let me and if I can't physically do it, I either know how it should be done or know how to find the information and apply it. I happened upon your video (pvc gardening) and am enjoying your others! I would like to do a well at my cabin property which has 3 levels. I need water at the top but am not sure I can hit water and there are so many rocks, it may not be possible -- I like watching people make these wells though! Keep up the great videos!

[@lovelandfrogman9620]

Watching this makes me miss all the times my dad and I would work together to get something done. Thanks for sharing, I’m sure your girls love you!

[@scarroll625]

That’s awesome man. Your kids will remember that time digging that well forever.

[@donaldsavage3699]

It's always good to watch it 5 times more. Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍

[@raunchybronchiasaur7797]

Absolutely wonderful including your girls and actually teaching them as you go. Bring it down to their level but not treating them liek they can't understand, you are obviously a wonderful father. Good on you 👍

[@DCxRecon]

“First off, that was chocolate milk!” Perfect! I almost fell out of my chair when you knocked the cup out of her hand/mouth. Glad you survived.

[@thatelectritian]

I love the angles and different shots, definitely shows how much time and effort you did to make the quality video. 🔥😎

[@dra1469]

Love the commentary and having your girls help you. Reminds me of doing projects every summer with my dad. You got another subscriber.

[@pjmnash]

Your daughters and wife are indeed beautiful and you are an A-One and A+daddy! (And maybe an A+ hubby too but only your wide would know. ) I just love you guys! You are blessed with family love, values & workability. It was my privilege to watch and learn to construct a well and enjoy your children learning to be independent. May God bless you all!

[@oafkad]

Genuinely seem like such a great father. The videos are educational but also real solid feel goods too.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you so much!

[@anthonypierce9880]

pretty sweet, I dig the hand pump and textures on the concrete..not to mention the free water AND the super cool yard feature

[@abhishekjha346]

Glad you are engaging kids into it, great learning for them

[@skirtonbear1]

My dad was similar: taught me how to use tools and gave me some when I was in college. Farming until I was 16, I learned lots.

[@Life2018Z]

You guys are inspiring. The emergency water scene was hilarious! God bless you all

Great! Thanks to your video, I now have the confidence to dig a shallow well

[@thedoubleboiler6971]

Thank you for this. My town supposedly doesn't "allow" shallow wells... I'm making one anyway today and will make a privacy space for it. It could save some lives one day, as well as some dollars.

We have a water pump like this at our family cabin in northern michigan. I have always LOVED this water !! And some years ago they got it tested and said it was some of the best water in michigan natural springs and whatnot. Definitely recommend!

I live on about 150+ of sand. I can run the hose over night in my yard and not make a puddle. Still a good glimpse into the other side. Teaching daughters valuable lessons is fun to watch!
