Rain Barrel DIY Repair (failure & success)

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I feel like this was filmed to show Eric is human. He's still perfect in most of our eyes! I did try WD40 on a hole (per Eric's instructions) and it didn't work. I'll try again tomorrow! Great vid guys! Thanks for showing your human.....and have great ideas!! Cheers!

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Lol we are definitely human! Lots of mistakes made here. That’s the best way to learn! ~M

[@YogiHollowFarm]

Great fix! Thanks for showing it…I think we are going to cut the nipple feeder we made in half for troughs for the pigs so this would work great!

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

I’ve been thinking about something heavier for ours. I’ll reach to you when I can to share.

If that drum is ABS, then you could try making some "ABS Juice". It's just ABS that has sat in acentone until it dissolved. It makes for a great ABS glue.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Thanks for the info! I’ll have to look into that!

[@generationalhomestead691]

Great way to store rain water

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Thanks so much! It’s important for us because we can go for months without rain. Every drop counts! 😀

[@LittleFrenchyinBigTexas]

That was funny!

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Lol thanks! He’s here for all the entertainment!

G'day guys. Nice one with the fixes. I know what it's like having a name in my head and saying another too. 🤦‍♂️ Actually, you can certainly relate as you have a whole bunch of kids too. 😋 Take care. Daz.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Haha!! Yes it comes with the lots of kids territory for sure! Thanks friend! ~M

[@RadioJonesy]

New subscriber Daz set me over looking forward to checking out your videos

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

That’s awesome! We love Daz! Welcome to the family!

I usually just stick it in the hole leaving a little length protruding on both sides and then get two pieces of cardboard on each side and squish it. Note: If you don't have long arms like mine you my need two people to do it.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Oh nice one! Thanks for the tip! 😉

[@AbundantAcresHomestead]

Now Eric we know you’re too perfect to make a mistake…you faked the mistake admit it 😉 😂 Seriously though awesome DIY 👍

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

😂🤣…That’s hilarious!

[@sirhanreid5896]

A+ for honesty Pigs to each other "why am I tasting wd40, I mean jb weld?" Lol.. thanx

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Haha.

[@JesusLovingHomesteader]

Now we just need God to send the rain!

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

He can do it!

[@nottoday4972]

How did this fix hold up? I use a barrel for my chickens.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

@@nottoday4972 still works!

[@nottoday4972]

Has anyone done this? I was wondering if it was a permanent fix?

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

It worked longer term.

[@LifewithBlindaandChuck]

Got it done. Now bring on the rain!

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Yeeees!!! We need some more!

[@jagboy69]

How do you have 17k subs and your average video gets 150 views??? Did you piss off youtube? I think you have been shadow banned. Shorts will ALWAYS pull in 2-3k views, that's a given.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Maybe we are? We definitely slow growing.

@@BlandsPromisedLandRanch I'm a conservative Texan and made the mistake of using only one login for my youtube channel and my personal viewing. KZbin KNOWS what I watch, comment on and which way I lean. My theory is they will do everything they can to people like me to prevent the channel from growing. They won't risk growing a channel to only have them flip the switch one day and try to enlighten the sheep! I did a video called build the wall and it was game over for me every since. I only stick around today so maybe one day we can sue the pants off these scumbags.

[@BlandsPromisedLandRanch]

Interesting perspective. And I don’t think it’s a wrong one necessarily. Thanks for the insight. 😉
