NO MORE Above-Ground Electrical?!

We started the house - the foundation is DONE! Check out progress real-time here: / purelivingforlife
Although our water system is 100% complete, we aren’t quite ready to backfill completely because we want to lay the foundation for our electrical system. Our electrical system isn’t too complicated, but at a minimum, we have to put some treated posts into the ground where we can pull our conduit up to as well as to mount our electrical boxes. Building a house entails having many loose ends at any given them, in this is one such example of that.

I am amazed at how many experts come to "give advice" in a slightly backhanded way. In regards to the viewers who inquire why nothing is ever "completed" - they don't realize that so many things HAVE been completed, but you reward your faithful viewers with the honest perspective of "work in progress" - which most of us can more readily relate to without too much effort. Thank you for being honest in how you define yourselves in these videos, it is why I started watching you, and why I subscribed.

[@wendypursel3142]

I think it is great how you two work together. It is wonderful to see a couple working together and watching them see each other's strengths and weaknesses. You are both very supportive of each other.

[@davidgilbert6017]

I been trying to follow along with you guys and watch all the videos I can and I think your doing a great job. Don't let it get to you when those deadbeats try and cut you down. I for one sure am impressed with all of your accomplishments.

[@clayguy1]

I'm a sculptor.. just spent several months creating a clay of a Mustang Horse.. Making the armature.. then the skeleton, then the muscles... took months.. (my right hand is partially numb) It seemed to drag on forever... then I got to final detailing of Mane and tail and I blinked and the clay was done.. What I'm saying is. Preparatory always seems to drag on... but with good foundation.. the final goes smoothly and fast. I understand the multi-jobs you're going through. People today want instant coffee and instant everything. In reality.. There is no instant anything in real life.. You guys keep plugging along.. You're doing this by yourselves.. I'm proud of what you've accomplished, and will accomplish..

[@biggametex]

Phenomenal lesson and great comment!

[@clayguy1]

Good...

[@clayguy1]

Just check my channel.. My last several videos were of me getting a clay ready for the foundry.. Then you'll see the one on the horse...Seven Videos back. Jul 20, 2017 I'd put up a link but I don't like doing that on other peoples videos.. I'm almost uncomfortable doing this.. lol

[@rixanneh18]

Yaaaaaaaaaay for you guys! Super exciting! I'm so happy I got to watch you, not struggle but ya the struggle, as you just kept pushing on. Two of the most hard-working people anywhere. Woohoo!

[@steveseiler8782]

hey place is coming on good. I really can see the progress well done and thank you for letting me come along for the ride cheers

[@dougf94912]

So cool that you're about to start on the foundation of your new home!

[@brianpotts3100]

Thanks for the inspiring videos! Keep up the awesome content!

[@Graeme408]

Isn't it easy to jeer from the sidelines? You guys are doing an amazing job. I am impressed with your approach to projects, quality, willingness to learn. Don't let the boo bugs get to you. You both are very impressive. Remember you are doing the job, not watching the job.

[@ttfweb1]

I grew up in the country on a small farm / ranch in Oregon - all my extended family did the same. There were always many things in progress. People who don't live on a homestead can't conceive how much work there always is to do, and it's not tidy or linear. I think you guys are really doing well at all of this.

[@fillg]

Thank you for actually MIXING your concrete. I see so many people dumping dry concrete into a hole followed by a bucket of water and they say it'll soak in... IT DOESN'T. I've pulled up so many fence posts that were put in that way. You end up with a half inch or so of very brittle concrete surrounding dry powdered concrete that never gets mixed.

[@ryanjohnson282]

Props you two, I have been working for a couple years now trying to get to where I can go off grid, good work!

[@kencraft4567]

I love everyone getting on these two's case for their truck or not finishing projects! you don't know the story behind it, or what their needs are. Sounds like a bunch of people who've never had to do more than one "project" (ahem* pallet decor) at a time. have you ever towed any serious weight in a 20+ year old truck? Or actually needed to rely on it in the middle of nowhere? Unless its a very well maintained and tuned vehicle it wont have nearly the power or functionality it came off the line with. As a contractor watching this, from what I can tell so far they don't even come close to having all the tools or skills needed to do what they're tackling. They're learning as they go, and part of that is going to be realizing what equipment/tools/skills they're going to need in moving forward. It's awesome to see people getting by and working with what they've got. Seems to me they go at it as long as they can until it becomes nonsensical and they go out and buy the proper tool for the job. Health and well being are way more important than an extra grand or so of loan payments, and in that regard, things like laser levels, proper truck and machinery goes a looong way. Don't forget these two are just getting started! 3/4 of the construction process has nothing to do with actually building anything. Let alone the fact that they've got to spend half their time making vids for you to criticize them on haha! Keep it up you two, you're doing great and the channel is a joy to watch. cheers

[@aikendrum3906]

Very happy for you guys! Already have seen a few pics on facebook of the continuing work on the foundation of your home. You should be proud of your efforts and accomplishments. Rock on!

[@iamwhoiam4410]

Looking forward to seeing you guys start the foundation on your new home. Sure it's going to be a show place. You guys have worked your arses off to get where you are now. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, You're an inspiration to many many people.

[@eirizarry2568]

NO matter what........You two are GREAT! appreciate all your work to provide us with video content. love watching your journey to your home.

[@bchase1980]

So excited for you guys. You are doing awesome. I can't wait to see the house start!

[@mikethompson6713]

You're doing just fine. You'll finish a project when you want. I'm getting excited to see your house progressing. God bless.

[@-ethan-757]

Pure Living For Life - The person who said that probably doesn't understand how much money, time,and effort it takes to do the things you guys do on a daily basis and the person who said that probably has no experience doing any hard work like that and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on those types of topics - Love the videos and keep working twards your dream and don't let all of the haters stop you.

[@ludvigtande1236]

You are doing so much more right than wrong! And you learn from mistakes. Attitude is everything and you both have great attitudes. Keep it up.

[@Graeme408]

It must be fun for you two to sit back and read all the experts solving your problems, directing your work, and no doubt producing your videos. Certainly something to make one chuckle.

[@CalebMayfieldMHF]

I got excited for you watching this video. I'm in the middle of remodeling an old farm house and talk about one project piggybacking another. That is why the bathroom is still not put back together after 6 months, but I'm at the point in getting all the infrastructure replaced to where the bathroom should be functional within another month. I completely understand where you are on that. It will all come together quickly.

[@rncheal]

Thank you for sharing the steps of your homestead experiences and build. I have enjoy moving through videos, many interesting topics and do and don'ts that you have shared.

[@simidhel]

It must have felt so refreshing that after the endless stream of hard work, it all started to pool together into a steady flow of progress and although drained by now, you called upon those last precious drops in the reservoir to pull out all the stops and seeing the water at the end of the tunnel, to finally be flush with completion and overflowing with success! :)

[@richardhalley6895]

Congratulations you two you have a water system it's one small step for man but a huge leap for you .

[@fynbo1007]

You are a great couple, thank you for sharing your amazing video. Always remember it's your house and you make it your way

[@The22v10]

I for one Never doubted you both accomplishing your goals. Great work

[@johnhirsch5923]

Congrats guys on your water system.

[@chamilton9182]

You guys are doing great!! Don't listen to the haters that try to ruffle your feathers. Anyone who has been through this KNOWS that these things happen in stages and you don't get to FINISH one thing at a time. It just doesn't work that way. Your work ethics and integrity probably annoy those who don't share it. Which is a shame. But... keep doing what you are doing. Your dream is coming true one project at a time.Those who seek instant gratification will never understand. But y'all get it. Hang in there!! All God's blessings to you and Bugaboo!!

[@tylerjames3313]

I admire amd respect your efforts to build your homestead. Your videos are extremely interesting... always another learning experience for me. You are both an amazing TEAM to get the job done!

[@daverenshomestead636]

So happy to see y'all finally got the water system done woop! Congratulations you both put in a lot of hard work. Looking forward to your next journey

[@johnduer9213]

I know it's a little late now for comments, however I learned from an old southern gentleman there is an easier way to do post forms without all the mixing. Make your forms like you did. Then instead of mixing the concrete in a mixer pour direct into former. Put half in then flood the mix, then pour the rest in and then flood again. The concrete will cure properly with less air pockets and save extra material by not pouring out of the former. This is though to think it will work. However I helped him dig up some post he and his dad did when he was just6 years old, he was 69 when we started this project and the forms where still intact and unbroken. 63 years and they where still good. See even if learn. Keep going and enjoy your progress you earned it.

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

You guys are doing great! Don't fret!

[@PastorHinChrist]

We are proud of you guys as well- from our family to yours!

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

Yeehah!! It sure is satisfying when each step closer comes to fruition. One day with your house built and property squared away you'll look back and enjoy seeing the fruits of your incredible efforts.

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

Infrastructure is the longest and intertwined part of the build. Keep it up, I've enjoyed the vids.

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

I'm glad you hit this milestone. Congratulations.

Was thinking, I haven't seen you videos for a few days. I go check your channel and boom, email notification, new video. Yes!

[@henrikandersson1661]

I'm impressed by your work, really nice to see two people work so good together 👍👍👍 Keep up the good work 🙂

[@richardpope5417]

I agree, I have never done a project that didn't end up overlapping another project.

Alyssa stop worrying about what the internet trolls have to say. You and your hubby are doing just fine, I am enjoying every video you guys release and I can't wait to see the next one, I wish you lived closer cuz you two seem to be great people and I wish I could help you out. But in the meantime I will kick back and enjoy watching you grow your homestead wishing you well thoughts and prayers, Craig

Hey Crazy Craig's RC's and 3d. I totally agree with you, I love to watch them and their progress from what was then and what is now, I can't wait to see them break ground so to speak :)

[@hamsflightskitbox3710]

Crazy Craig's RC's and 3d you are right, i can't wait for the next one. Thank you for good things to say to them😀😀😀😀

[@craigschofield64]

Blaculo obviously your an idiot ...what does a piece of paper have to do with a relationship??? You are pretty simple minded if you base a relationship on a piece of paper that was created by man not God! Only God can make judgements on whether or not they are "living in sin" not you or anyone else on this earth! Humans wrote the bible and personally I find huge faults with the way it was written, I believe in the basic premise of the word of God, but I take the bible in itself with a grain of salt simply because it was written by a mere man and his interpretation of what God's word is/was. When you were a child did you ever play the game "telephone"? If you did them you know what someone said is a far cry from what was repeated several people down the line! I will attest that what a person is told in the first party is not the same as what that person repeats even if they try their best to repeat it verbatim that is a simply fact! The way I look at the bible and what it says is...it is basically fact but the details of those facts are totally up for interpretation because they have been told to us second/third/ and so on down the line. I don't know if they are married by today's standards or not and I don't care! Because their relationship is between them and God and it is not for us to judge. When a mere human starts judging others by what they think they know, that is one of the first forbided sins! Only God is allowed to judge! Our job as followers is ONLY to point others to the word of God not to pass judgement upon them! Because in the end only God makes the determination whether or not a person is sinful and for you to say otherwise is a sin on it self, because it is not your place to pass judgement on anyone period! ....Please forgive me everyone but it really gets under my skin when somebody thinks they are so righteous that they can speak for our creator.... Alyssa I am truly sorry if my comments upset you in anyway, but when people spout off like they can speak for the creator I can't stand by without saying something. I highly doubt that a piece of paper created by man has one thing to do with anything as far as anyone being sinful! Again I am sorry that this dim wit thinks that they speak for God, personally the both of you seem to as one from and what I read is what I think true love is....sorry if I over stepped here but that comment really has me riled up. God Bless and looking forward to your next video😁

[@TheSpindrift76]

I enjoy that you are looking after the birdies plus it was nice to see some of the house location excavation that Jesse was doing there at the end. I was thinking it was a great idea that you put electricity out to the garden because then you can have a garden shed with a light and someplace to plug in a stereo to listen to music while you are planting or harvesting. My Friends put a light at the start of their driveway that was powered by a small battery and solar panel so people could find their address along the road. I know it's another project but it might be useful in a year from now for house parties and you are inviting folks over.

[@orgcoast]

[@jamesshanks2614]

Hi guys, Love what you're doing. I worked for a small contractor several years ago basically a three man company when I was hired as their sole truck driver driving a older but good running Triaxle dump truck. It has a N14 red top Cummins engine with an 8 speed LoLo tranny. And he primary concern was the owner said your hired after looking at my license ( CDL A ) and asked if I knew where the pit was, not at the moment I replied then pulled out of my truck the Garmin truck gps Nd told him you give me an exact address and this takes me there. Ok, he gave me the phone number for the pit which I called and programmed into my gps and saved it then climbed out lifted the hood checked all the fluids while he watched the fired her up and grabbed my three pound hammer and checked the tires ( broke the big toe too many times using my foot ) then raised the body all the way up and released the body lock then dropped it, ran the cover all the way out and back then left to get a load of 3/4 washed stone. The boss called me 10 minutes later to say you passed. Passed what? The last driver who applied didn't lift the hood but fired up and went to leave when I stopped him and said sorry I couldn't use him. Unfortunately he had a heart attack at 42 years and his widow wasted no time selling the company and moving to California 18 months after I went to work for him and the company that bought it simply sold all the equipment and said see ya to the 5 employees at the time of his death. As they didn't want any more employees. Safety is a major concern when operating heavy equipment so find out with a professional mechanic who knows the systems if necessary and straighten out the hydraulic system before one of you gets seriously injured. If you don't know how to do something don't be afraid to ask a local contractor or experienced heavy equipment operator even if he's retired he'd love the challenge and most heavy equipment operators enjoy passing on knowledge and dos and dont's so you don't get hurt, don't damage your equipment or anyone on the job. The only reason we harp on getting the hydraulic system fixed is safety not to bust your cookies so please understand we want to see you out here for a long time instead of reading about a bad accident on your site. Every day your a little closer to the finish line. :-)

[@doitlaynstyle]

Hey guys, I must say that I'm super stoked to see this project almost at an end. I've been following and finally signed up for your blog but I haven't had a chance to go through it yet. I'm an Idaho licensed guide of 20 yrs, a KZbin channel, an amateur solar enthusiast, mechanic, gold miner, manufacturing engineer, husband and father of three. I have years of experience living outdoors in tents and rv's and I have loved all of your videos. However on this final one I'd like to point out that there's a fatal flaw with your check valve. It'll be exposed to the cold and from here I'll paste my reply to another comment about that. Peter Los Angelos Yes, because he used a reducer on the outlet side of the check valve he has created a water trap because of the offset of 1" to 1 1/2". It will always have water in the trap and that will certainly freeze the check valve closed in the winter after the first cold overflow. The second may do some damage to the cisterns. The way to fix this issue is to either finish the elbow after the check valve in 1 1/2" or drill a 1/32 hole in the brass behind the flap in the bottom of the brass. I hope you read this and understand what I am talking about if not you can reach me at [e-mail] for a better explanation. P.s. Being a guide for Idaho and seeing a couple of your videos, I know where you are and you picked an excellent part of Idaho to live in. Looking forward to more of your videos and if you get a chance check out some of mine. (They aren't as organized as yours but there's stuff on solar, gold mining, and more)

[@farm_in_themiddleofthewood3339]

Do not pay any attention to those who are advising about getting something done before moving to the next project... when living on a farm/homestead projects just keep growing and often they turn out to be interconnected... Just keep plugging ahead and things tend to work out well!!! Good job! We hope your margaritas are tasty!!!

[@Buck1954]

I'm a man and I have concreted hundreds of posts in about every way possible. Being in a hurry wastes concrete as you well know. Take a #4 rebar and work the concrete in the form by shoving it up and down into the concrete. This helps to remove air bubbles and voids. Use a narrow blade shovel to drop the concrete into the form. Add concrete as you remove voids. Moisture will invade those voids and when it freezes will crack open your footings and rot will invade your posts. Even a treated post will rot over time if it is exposed to earth, water, and air. I've dug enough of those out to testify it.

[@iTrove]

Congrats on your persistent efforts and victory. I sit here enjoying watching your journey. Pleasant to watch and think about the little pissant gardening I have to do that keeps me busy.

You can tell some one that has never taken on a project like you all are on if they had they would never ask the question why don't you ever finish a project before starting a new project. If you finished one before starting on another you would be many many years getting to the end. Love your videos. God Bless and good luck.

[@iamlonefrog4252]

First of all, thanks for the video. It is such a pleasure to see your filming and editing progress right along side with your construction skills. Do us all a great big favor and stay safe, balance your work with rest, not just the body but the brain as well, and with a proper balance you should be able to avoid burnout. I take joy in your accomplishments as well and would rather see you appreciate the ride than stressing over it. While we are being real here, I would like to take another moment to address the views/comments your videos are garnering. Simply put, the numbers are impressive and this is something else you should be very proud of, just don't let it go to your heads cuz its the real you we love.

[@martynhicks123]

Fair play to you guys...Im with you all the way.

[@vertigoalopolus]

Its not a house, but the project Im working on is a car. Its taken me 7 years of preparation, including rebuilding an engine, going through three different turbo setups, all new wiring and electronics, and a whole host of things I had to modify - all my own work. And up until a week ago, it seemed like I was going to be doing it forever, that the preparation was never ending. Well, in a day or two, my car comes back from the workshop where its getting pipes welded. And then it will finally be done. You know this feeling too, now, from your water supply project. But you have more projects to go. Keep the goal in sight, you are doing amazingly. Im living vicariously through your tales.

YAY!!!!!!! Good work guys!! Kia Kaha!!

[@nathanratchford9996]

I seem to always start another project before finishing the current one. That explains a lot.

[@blaizebunny7482]

Tip: When you one puts concrete as a support around something like a post (either a wooden post which can rot or a metal post which can corrode), best practice is to slightly slant the top of the concrete away from the thing being supported by the concrete. In the case if a wall or other long item, that would mean a long slant. In the case of some sort of point, like a post, that would mean a domed top to the concrete. That way, water runs away from that item and does not stick around to do rot/rust damage. There is still an opportunity to rough up the top of a flat concrete support (maybe some chisel work or drill some holes), and add a bit more concrete to make a slope next time one mixes concrete for another project. I love your videos. They are so inspirational! Good luck on the rest of your project!

[@theoldwizard998]

Don't worry about what other people have to say ! It is you life, lve as you see fit ! One suggestion next time you are pouring into circular forms. Get a piece of about 2x2 and use it to agitate the concrete. It will get any air out.

[@MrDanielWallis]

Hope the pour went well, loving the videos

love your videos, you are such a down to earth family

I don't like to criticise your hard work and dedication and I don't know how cold it gets in your part of North America, I live in northern Canada -40 to -50 C three months of the year putting a flush back valve in your over flow line won't get enough air to drain water back to tank and you run the risk of freezing your line. but if your not filling in the winter you should be ok still keep up the good work I enjoy your VIDS....

At 3:30 min, I strongly agree with Alyssa. Every project that I have ever worked on very rarely gets done before another is started and that is because you realize in order to do that correctly with less work you need to suddenly have to do this one first. It's like opening a can of worms, they start to go all over the place.

I admire the unity between the both of you and the way you guys work together, reminds me of my wife and I we do everything together always. One thing I observe that I just feel the urge to mention is you're always working with a lot of dust and stuff floating in the air. I know it can be a pain but you should keep and use a dust mask or respirator when dealing with all that dust, and it does not help with the narration on the video, but you health c should come first
