I Was Wrong & It Cost Me

I Was Wrong & It Cost Me
Today I show you all finally hooking up the rural water to our homestead. Now we have two water sources for homestead. I was totally wrong when figuring this job out and I was so close to it really costing us.

Great job, Dutch!! That's a lot of work but I can imagine that you saved yourself a couple thousand (guesstimate) by doing it yourself! I bet you enjoyed that shower afterwards!! Happy for you guys to have that working for you now. Blessings to your family!! 💜❤❌⭕

[@barbcarter8424]

So happy there was no leaks, thank u Jesus for helping them get it done an make life just little easier for the whole family .🙏🇺🇸

[@peggybowe5556]

What a job! Tell the guy he's done a fantastic job trenching all that for you. Hope all stays good!

[@VincentNorth-ut3mj]

Ç Ť⁵and you

[@rongray4847]

Hey Dutch good job. I think you made the right move to hook up to town water for the house and use the well for the animals. Always nice having a back up. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@valeriehansen466]

🎉 Brandy is going to love water in the house ❤🎉

[@mel924]

They`ve had water in the house from the well.

[@valeriehansen466]

Thanks for the love. Back at you.😉

[@maryloudamarino4079]

Congratulations! You did a great job with that project. And it is done before fall sets in too. No more stressing over that, you can cross it off your to do list. Bet that shower felt good!

[@annebiggins7180]

Enjoy watching you folks! Never a dull moment in your homestead! Have a productive and safe week !

[@joannbillings2799]

You did a great job! I can only imagine how accomplished you must feel having hooked up the rural water to your home. Good idea to have your friend dig the trench for you. Prayers for no leaks. 🙏🏼

[@margaretkocinski786]

Bobby is your site Supervisor. Keeping a eye on things.

[@robertcribb3859]

You can get by without power but not having water is a whole different dilemma I've always kept 10 or 12 gallons of water at the ready to flush the potty and drink I live in northern Michigan and loose power about 3 times a year seems like spring and winter it gets pretty nippley but I keep warm by the way Dutch you look like your shrinking great video

[@mwatkins2464]

His head has gotten smaller, I noticed that too 😂 jk

[@janettaylor3182]

Dutch what another hard job you've done brilliant job you don't care how hard you just don't let it beat you , all this leaving off the grid is okay but not when you've not enough power and have that generator going . Nothing would make me live like it again you're spending more momey trying to get it right I'd put electric in too the Solar Panels as a back up no harm in having electric , you've a lovely home great land have electric for the girls be comfortable get lights around you're property . So easy to have a better life and live it without worrying about power I'm so eased you've got water, feel so sorry it's so wet this year for you and the family God bless you and be proud if all the work you have done with such a big heart ♥ ❤❤❤❤

[@georgecharokee4570]

Get that Electric in there Brotha, Forget about the OTHERS who are Off Grid 💯💯💯💯

[@susansollee1839]

Great job ! You accomplished what you set out to do, that’s all that matters. 🌻👍🏻👍🏻🌻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Most of us out here couldn’t have done the work you did. 👍🏻❤️High five to Hadley for helping.❤️

[@pamelanose8061]

Awesome job on with no leaks. You all work so hard and it is really paying off. Hope you enjoyed your shower and got some rest after all that work. God Bless you all

[@sandeepettit696]

Looks like all y'all's hard work is paying off. So happy for you❤❤❤

[@ironear7748]

Good job, Dutch! A labor of love to provide a life giving resource for the family. We can tell you're losing weight too! Keep up the good work!

[@elsathal7359]

Nicely done! Thank you for sharing your journey ✌️💞🤟

[@saundragisler]

Prayers for You ,Family ,be careful in this heat ❤

[@lynnelovett8999]

Back when a kid (other siblings too) had to help my dad dig a well on my parents property so we could have water. All by buckets after buckets of dirt and rocks...hard backbreaking work !!!! Good job 👍 !! I bet you are glad that you got that job done?! Great helper too...Ms Hadley. I bet that shower felt good ? Well deserved too. Take care. God's speed Dutch family.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working on your rural water

[@christinastewart9830]

WOW! What a job! Nice job to you, and I think you said your friends name was Jack. So glad there weren't any boulders in the way! Nice that Hadley came and helped you out. ❤ Bobby did his usual inspection.😂 I am so happy that everything worked out and no leaks. Now to enjoy a nice shower without worrying about the water. God bless.😊❤

[@elainedegoede6276]

Great job. Congratulations. Nothing like having water security at your house❤

[@robertbeechy6475]

Did you put a back flow valve check what the hales oter creek happen to him

[@nancyandrews8891]

Hey Dutch, good Luck with Your Water. The water was pretty & clear. I noticed You Put Your Knee on the shovel to keep from getting real dirty and not go down in the dirt.. I enjoy watching Your Videos! Nancy

[@moviemakerwannabe]

I commend you for fighting straight through all that waterline work. It isn't easy and you did a great job. Your family will really appreciate what you did for them.

[@retabates3799]

Good job!! I hope you enjoyed your shower! you are getting your place all put together. God bless you and take care

[@noreasteroverland]

I'm half way through this and see you're installing Ts and shut off valves with no junction boxes? You can easily purchase irrigation boxes. Hoping that's the final product? Guess we will see

[@carolynwright7408]

So proud of your hard work. Your family is blessed that you can do so many different things. Take care of yourself.

[@lindaduncan5541]

Great work Dutch! Congratulations…..enjoy that shower!

[@kathywifall6844]

Woohoo! Kudos for such a good job and the plans that will help all the animals you plan to return to your homestead.

[@joanlenhard82]

Awesome video and so happy you have this great water system. Praise the Lord. Great Procedure completed, Dutch you are fantastic

[@debraw8429]

Nice work, Dutch! We're finding ourselves (bodies) too worn for such work now but loved, and miss the hard days and their rewards 👍Great life skill as well. Thanks

[@matthewmcdaniel8846]

😁for future my friend split a Gatorade bottle and duct tape the top of it covering the weep hole on bottom of hydrants to keep debris out of it it’ll prevent a future leak in the weep hole especially if your going RW great work buddy

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm

[@SA-ke4zl]

Great job! You are so hard working!

[@jackbarker3583]

Like your idea of using the rural water for the house and well for the animals and outside chores.

[@marybanks9429]

So glad you got it done. Congratulations!!

[@werthebest1s]

Awesome job Dutch!! I knew you could do it! 😊😁have a good evening n try to relax w/the family 🙂😘God bless you 🙏 😊 ❤️

[@catrivett1964]

I put my last water line and septic leech fields down to 4ft just because I could. I had a local farmer with a backhoe help me whilst I was out there working on it with him. I love having the local farmers help me with work as they always could use the money, and I don't have to pay extra for them to drive 20 miles from town because they are my neighbors already.

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Dutch and Family. Always cost more than you anticipated. That's the way it goes But will great when finished. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@mariemcclure151]

I know you enjoyed that first shower. You did a great job. Keep up that great work that you do

[@dianejohnson7282]

Good job! It's amazing how much you do. Love your channel. God bless.❤

[@angelnolan2840]

Looks great and good to put the hydrants in now while all open. My only suggestion would be to put a clip/ bolt to lock the handles down so they can't accidentally get turned on and forgotten being kind of off the normal paths. Having the house on rural water will make everyone's life easier with not having to time showers, laundry, ect.

[@thelaw4329]

Great job Dutch and that is a lot of hard work.

[@lindakinsey1093]

Thanks. Some of us can use your complete explanations. Glad you told someone you were putting boxes at you junction. Good work

[@lindavonh131]

I added community water on my property for a tiny house for my dad but he passsed away before we laid foundation. It cost about $1000 to run lines but we had meter but not used we on a well to add one electric poll wires over the road and under ground cost about $2000 that was almost two years ago. We had to rent a thing to trench

[@elainehood6987]

Look for arrow heads in that loose dirt

[@bruceOliver-hc1lb]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 yeah you're doing a good job I'm glad you got some water in we're going to need the city water whenever everything else keep it up I love your you're right to the point on everything you do and that's good

[@MrCaissed]

I had a new well put in 220 feet deep into and thru ledge. The rocks you have are pebbles compared to what was in my yard. I have boulders and they were enormous and I kept them so when we did the gravel driveway they were used as a support wall because my land drops 2 feet on 1 side. They were going to take them but charge me for the removal. I said how about just moving them near my boat so when the driveway was finished the asked me what I was doing with the boulders and I said those are for that area. They thought I had boulders delivered just for the driveway. They moved them, with a skid steer older than me and I’m 60. 1 made the skid steer stand up and it landed on the front door. Hydraulic fluid leaking everywhere and came back with a backhoe

[@heatherprus5364]

Whew! 😅 That was huge undertaking and you did an excellent job! We get so used to having running water and electricity and don't realize how valuable it truly is until it's not there.

[@ejgna5gb]

Great job. Said a prayer for you Have a wonderful evening. Love you guys

[@thereseburton1414]

That was probably one of the best decisions to have dual water source.

[@angellocke8473]

YAY you have water!!!! 💓💝💘❤💖 watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great day!!!!

[@davidbingham7404]

Dutch, great video. Congratulations on your back up water system, one less thing to use the generator for. Hope you enjoyed your shower, one less thing thing to do on the homestead. David, Utah. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤.

[@linngal5]

Good job Bro, lot's of work there! Enjoy that shower, a good meal and some relaxation!

[@lindajames4122]

Good job.

[@clydemckenzie3933]

Glad everything went good. That’s one problem taken care of.😊😊😊

[@karlheder7678]

You can always screen the dirt yourself before you backfill the trench

[@brendamartin3557]

Great work. Well done Dutch! 🎉

[@celiaambrose9008]

Good job! Prayers for you and your family with all the hard work to get your homestead settled.

[@donglass9072]

You just have baby rocks!lol Soccer to basketball size are most common up here, until you hit something that's heavier than a full size pickup. But I guess that's why they Call this the Big Stone, region.

[@stephaniebohn9002]

It is a great feeling finish a project. You should have your family help you so you don’t have to stay in the heat so long.

[@Ms.B88]

What a awesome job! Very happy yall have water. 💙♾️

[@marywest4174]

Good job Dutch! running water

[@malibuman792004]

On your outside hydrants, you should have put a layer of gravel down first. It helps to keep them from freezing up in the winter. It lets the water drain out into the gravel. If not, the water can pool up and freeze it up and it doesn't matter if they are frost proof or not. I am speaking from experience.

[@Brenda-bb8hk]

Great job today on laying that waterline. Gonna be great. When you get it all finished and all the shut off valves on were that you can just switch from well to rule water anytime you want.

[@jeanettec6212]

I prayed for you. Wow you were worn out! Thats hard and hot work. I hope you enjoyed your shower and rest. Great job Dutch!

[@chrisjohanson9284]

Having that second water resource is a good idea. Glad everything worked out take care ❤️🙏👍😊✨

[@ShaneZettelmier]

You might want to put some one-way valve on your outlet from the well and the real water that way if your real water goes out and you use the well, you’re not pumping water through those pipes into their system or vice versa. That way if your valves fail, you’re not going to be pumping a bunch of water, one way or the other

[@samuelschult985]

Congratulations 👍

[@stephencarlson1430]

So amazing

[@russelleckert8940]

If you roll it out you avoid the twisting

[@jimr9898]

Live on a farm and have rural water plus a well. Animals will use a lot of water so use the rural water for the house and well for animals. Also, put a T-post along side the frost free faucet and secure it to the post to give it a sturdy base and take some stress of the PEX

[@dianaterpstra9582]

Enjoy watching you working on getting your water and no leaks. My fingers were crossed and praying that it all went good. Stay safe

[@lorrainekennedy1450]

Great job Dutch. Such a hard worker man

[@cherylsmith-bell6509]

Aren't you supposed to put pea gravel under each frost free faucet, to disipate the leek back each time the faucet shuts off? You soil may be gravely enough, but it might be good to do it anyway. If you can't keep air around it, it could freeze up. You all are going to love the better water for your household needs, for sure.

[@donnapadgett6583]

Congratulations on no leaks 😊. God bless you and be safe 😎

[@slk8322]

Congratulations! Enjoy watching all you doing as a family. God bless 🙏🎊

[@helmuthschultes9243]

👍👍👍👍😊😊😊 Now no water worries. Work well done ❤❤❤

[@carolynmesser7199]

Don’t forget gravel around your frost free hydrants . 😊

[@chrisryan5339]

Excellent job. Have a great week. Thanks. Chris from England

[@alexshatzko1381]

way too many connectors My water line from the Meter was only 12 inches below surface it went to the hydrant and wye to the trailer...... we were at the 800 ft level of the mountain the part from the trailer to the water line was heat traced. .never had a problem in 15 years coldest it ever got was minus 10 degrees in winter

[@fuzzylop9164]

I knew you had a plan to cut the costs. Great job. ❤️ That is going to give you a feeling of security, to have the rural water for back up.

[@karenturner7983]

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing.

[@stacy5445]

So….one viewer thinks you don’t know how to do hard work just because you take your time!! How do they think your property has grown and developed to what it is today! ohhh, That’s right you have a magic wand!!🧚‍♂️. Keep doing things your way, it’s perfect!! God bless you and family!

[@sidclark3249]

That was a good days work. Well done.

[@sharoncochran8508]

You should be very proud of yourself (and Hadley) for a job well done! Really impressive!

[@domagojbeno388]

When i sow you pull the pipe and did Harmonica Move, my heart skipped a beat 🤣🤣🤣 ( NOOOO ) ROLL IT OUT 🤣🤣🤣 I have not been watching you since you did a Roof on the House aka Last year.

[@beckyt.3150]

Our water line is down 6 feet under ground but I am in Colorado but my son hand dug it out tis summer and replaced my dads old line with that one inch poly plex.

[@jimjustice581]

I hate plumbing! No matter how hard I work on a project, there’s always a leak. I end up calling a plumber and he either does some tiny adjustment, which cost me a service call, or takes it all apart and adds some piece I never knew existed. That, of course, costs an arm and a leg. Good for you in knowing how to do everything. I really enjoy your vids. Best of luck on all your projects.

[@lornaherlache1950]

Great job, Dutch! I learned a lot from you today! Think I can do this now! Good luck with everything!❤❤❤

[@beverlyparrott3890]

Great job Dutch! Alot of work but will pay off.

[@pattih2732]

I’m so glad you decided to bring in water. There if you need it, to have choices is awesome, especially through the winter. Electric is another choice, though I understand what your doing, but having choices isn’t a bad thing 💗🌸

[@gwynethyaita3774]

Dutch, you are lucky for being a country boy. My husband grew up in the city and doesn’t know how to do anything. I am a country girl and he is a city boy he doesn’t know how to mow grass. He doesn’t know how to do anything outside the house. We knows how to use an electric weedeater that it.

[@happydayz5321]

Excellent work Dutch !

[@riddle8062]

Hard day's work! Great results!!

[@russellwatters5891]

Always enjoy when you have a little helper, Hadley is a great helping hand. The pex will be fine, as long as no large rocks are backfilled on it. Love ya'll ❤
