I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

A couple of tips, when bending the PVC heat up twice as much as you are currently doing. This will help with the kinks. Also, use two pieces of wood to get the angle and clamp them together, lay them on the floor and then nestle the PVC alongside While they cool. Thank you for the video on the maple syrup. I will never complain about paying $10 for a small bottle again! It is worth every penny.

[@larryr.johnson3048]

Code says 360 degrees worth of bends between pull points, Boxes, LBs, etc. I use a cool damp rag to set the bends after heating. The job looked great from what I could see in the video. Very nice looking shop. Great job using PVC conduit good choice.

[@jerrysalgat3406]

Excellent job. I like to try new projects also. Sometimes a bit intimidating, but you never know unless you try. At 73 years old it does take quite a bit longer to do the projects. But it is very satisfying when it's complete. Never stop trying new things.

It is apparent that a homesteader (on or off grid) must have multiple abilities from construction, carpentry, electrical, mechanical and also the willingness to work hard. But the rewards are great for those who persevere.

[@philjungels7617]

Get yourself a soft spring, with I.D slightly larger than O.D. of conduit. Slide it over the space you want bent, and , MAGIC, the bend is round. Slide it to the next one - you're done.

[@lonis7456]

So glad spring is coming can't wait to watch all your projects and changes to homestead

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Suddenly I'm feeling a need for a couple of little porkers on the homestead. It must be spring!

[@twistedneckoffroad3790]

It is easier to bend pvc if you heat more of the pipe. When bending a 90 I heat up about 3ft of the pipe, that way there is a lot less stress on the 90.

[@lesliebarger897]

Can put a camera so we can see the little goats and do you clean eggshell and give it back to the birds helps with the calcium you'll get more eggs that way I learned it from a farmer here in Utah

I live in Northern British Columbia, temperature is minus 18 c, feels like minus 30 c and wind is N 30 km /h. Sure hope spring comes soon.

[@gruntqueen]

The same is true here. This is our least-lovely time of the year. I love it anyway because Winter's back is broken, despite what the cruelest month may throw at us. I'm already planning my gardening and have ordered berry plants from Nourse Farm. I recommend Sparkle ( strawberries), and Polana ( raspberries) if you have to plant where the eaves empty all Winter ( you can cut them down to soil level come late Fall). Huge yields, cold-climate appropriate..

[@azurbleu4335]

You have added so much value to the property

[@arbuckleoakshomestead6800]

Al you nailed it. Some of my best projects come from failures, lol. Did you try the self sharpening bar and chain on the battery chainsaw? I have 5 acres of small tree's I need to clear for the cattle. Gina, those pancakes look amazing! I started my garden, so satisfying. Have a blessed day

[@BearStar1]

You need to make a '' Bending Jig " to help you make Perfect 90* in that PVC ! The National Electric Code states NO more than Three 90 degree bends in a singe piece of conduit . If more then 3 , it will be impossible to pull conductors through it !!!

[@cathiwim]

B. W. Starkey and it doesnt show it, but its a good idea to ream the interior edges of the male conduit, so the wires dont get scraped going thru. We also used water soluble lube for getting the wires thru the conduit.

[@christinedehn3257]

I was wondering if having a disk to make your bend around would make things easier. You have plenty of branches you could take slices from for different radius arcs. Pegged to a flat surface to make a jig of sorts?

I don’t know what you were thinking taking the cover off of the breaker panel before you needed to and then leaving it off while climbing up and down the scaffold. One slip and into the box you could have gone. You would have been electrocuted for sure. Leave the panel cover on until you’re ready to tie in.

[@silentdeath9237]

Remember code only allows 360° then you need a pull box 2x45 = 90 just add up all the angles but can never add up to more than 360° and I think you went over that with your run.

[@madampolo]

The electrical work inside the workshop was poorly planned from the very beginning. All of that conduit should have been run before the insulation was sprayed and the panels put up. That way, you wouldn't see all of it everywhere, but, what the heck, it's just a workshop. I hope you don't have trouble pulling the wire through the conduit. It's a long run. There sure is a lot of wasted hay by the goat feeder. I don't think that can be helped. The eggs were dirty today. Looks like Spring is just about there as all that snow is melting.

[@connierifenburg9758]

What did you ever do before your workshop?? Think of how many projects you’ve done just since you finished building it. It makes you wonder what you would have done to build the new chicken house, the goat bus stop, the water supplier, the smokehouse, the goat hay feeders (3) I’m sure I’ve forgotten some, but I’m so impressed.😄 seems like people thinking about starting a homestead should think of all the skills you need to care just for goats,chickens and an occasional pig.😱wow!

[@badcompany3057]

You're doing a good job with the PVC, but EMT will make for a nicer install. If you buy a hand bender and a bender guide handbook that has the formulas, with a little practice you'd be piping like a pro. Also a bucket of cold water and a rag helps with cooling the PVC. One last thing, by code, the number of degrees of bend in a pipe run is limited. Might want to consider a junction box here and there.

[@camperpat]

Thanks for the suggestion, I was watching your video Sunday night and my wife and I decided to have breakfast for dinner. But we are having blue berry pancakes 🥞. Enjoy your videos. Also for the electric box you can drill hole into them and use a fitting with a nut.

[@jonabriggs8829]

[@danielheartsill4269]

When you put something that needs to be plugged in down with the animals, cut the plug off the wire, run it through conduit, put another plug on it. Then the animals can't chew the wire. Metal conduit will be better because they can't chew it at all.

[@bruceaugustine6486]

Another way to bend the round pipe is to cap the ends after filling it with very hot water then bend it to shape and drain the water and let it cool. the water will help keep the pipe round and not allow as much kinking.

[@dollyc4314]

True, but there's no running hot water in the barn/shop. I knew an electrician (deceased now) who used to do conduit piping that way.

[@noocemiller6005]

I’ve heard of using sand in the pipe

[@KevinCoop1]

Al, Electrical conduit is looking better. Watch radius of bends, some may be little shy of NEC. Word of advice on pulling conductors. Start at the ends of the runs and pull toward the panel. It will help keep track of the number of conductors needed. Best wishes! Kevin

[@mortensolbergjr2876]

Dude ! I think your conduit looks great ! You did it yourself and it works. What more do you want? The only way I could think to make it better is build a jig for 45° and 90° bends but it looks great.

[@garyf8229]

Just a quick suggestion from a retired electrician. Put temporary caps on both ends of the conduit before heating and bending. The heated air slightly pressurizes the conduit and keeps it from collapsing.

[@robviolin1]

You should always use a flexible or non flexible metal conduit. The rats and squirrels can chew through plastic.

[@ckart5603]

Have you guys ever thought of making a portable Pond for the Ducks? I think that would be a neat little project:-)

[@anitablades6033]

Are you ever going to put the board up to keep the goats on the ground and not in the feeder???? It would only take a few minute's, if you cut the board while your in the barn then put it next to the sunflower seeds with the drill. I know that is multi-tasking, it's what women do to get everything done in the day!!!! Great Vid's!!

Homesteading or Hoddy farming always something do not matter how little it might be . How you like that Dewalt heat gun thinking getting there battery one.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

You would benefit from a jig as much as you bend pipe. Cut a piece of wood to the radius you want then screw or clamp it down. Start heating the pipe and push it against the rounded jig and it’d make it much easier and faster. JMO though.

[@thomashunter3563]

You guys always seem busy. When running pvc conduit and making bends if you have a bucket of water with a rag or small towel and wet it then lay it over the pipe it will help cool quicker. You guys are pleasant to watch.

Sometimes one can luck out by stopping by a local construction site and ask if they have any conduit mistakes you could have. Sometimes this pile gets pretty big, esp if you have rookies on the job site.
