The only problem with Toms videos they are never long enough could watch you all day. Keep up the great work mate your smashing it. 🚜🐂🐮🐑

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

That’s Lee ☺️

[@Eskatologist]

I was a bit surprised that considering the state of your ground water (generally) you didn't have a low spot in the pit to (semi) permanently install a pump.

[@MrMajorduck]

Yeah hydrostatic pressure might come back to bite

[@thebrickybuilders]

Mr solutions looks like a smashing chap that's the kind of positive attitude everyone should have, handsome lad too 😉

[@cindyrissal3628]

I love it...he's got the typical pile that every farm has..."stuff that's too good to throw out & you might need it later"😅

[@adam200784]

Would say a lot of businesses have the same too

[@Grover91]

Stuff that normally eventually gets thrown out anyway once it's sat for a decade untouched.🤣

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

@@Grover91 💯🙈😂

[@mikevennard1]

Even if they never use it, it might be handy 😂

[@Hoosier60]

Need to get a sump pump to get as much of the water out of the pit as possible. Then once the concrete and brick is installed, and fiberglass covering is in place, that should solve your water problem. But you need the time to allow concrete to cure properly.

[@Ladydia1971]

Best day of the week is when Tom Pemberton and Sandi Brock upload a video!!

[@Harry-zz8qn]

All those times you’ve thought to yourself “do I really need all these pallets” Yes you do Tom, yes you do😂

[@radharcanna]

I’ve never seen blocks being taken in from the rain. They sit outdoors in all weathers on building sites. Another great video.

[@clare3094]

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, oughta 😊 keep on as you are, it's very entertaining. Love your vids and look forward to them each week 👏👏👏

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Thanks Clare ☺️

Every time I watch your videos I appreciate the great job your father has done in raising you to be a true gentleman

[@johnearle6667]

We built a new milking parlour in 2015 and we shuttered the pit walls with mass concrete, we vibrated the shutters and got a really smooth finish

[@bryanhubner9848]

Looking great Tom. And great job making the water issue not seem as bad as it really is. I can’t imagine that frustration

[@casham6239]

Love the straw on his hat!!!!❤❤❤

[@Michael-8903]

Just over 16,5 kg close enough 👏

[@everestyeti]

Brilliant team of brickies, especially staying on the job even though the deck was damp. That's the problem when your at or below sea level, your always going to have an issue with water levels. It's coming along nicely though, your new milking shed isn't that far off. 👍🤗

[@MTerrance]

I knew dairy farmers were some of the hardest working people, but watching these videos has given me a new appreciation of just how hard they work.

[@MrW582]

At this rate you'll be swimming around the parlour and fitting snorkels on the cows to be milked 🤿🐄

[@philipasbury9173]

Hi Tom. We had a similar problem with ground water, we dug a 6ft deep sump in the low end of the parlour that doubled as a drainage point for all parlour/wash water. Put a submersible pump in it and direct it to dirty water system. Works well and keeps everything dry. However it wasn’t a wet as yours looks so you could soon be constantly pumping ground water. Your welcome to look at GEA parlour that’s very similar to what you’re putting in but 22 years old. Still looks and functions like it was put in 2 years ago, great parlour We’re spring block calving so it’s not your typical outfit for that system but does the job👍

[@takumi2023]

I hope there's a time-lapse for this build as well. Love to see it.

[@farmsimissac8716]

NICE ONE FINALLY WE HAVE STARTED THE NEW PARLOUR!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lewiswatson126]

Good video Tom 🎉

[@thetundra]

You have the best neighbors!

[@charleslynch7274]

They do great work Tom

[@homey3051]

Looking great Tom

[@teresabrewer2661]

Tom you never stop working for 1 sec and your mind is always on the go, go, go. It must be exhausting on you. Great video as always 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@cjames21]

It’s called coke! 3 for 100

[@karangooch1274]

My husband is a manager for a block company in Australia I really wish we were closer he could have given you staff discount I am sad we could not help but very glad you are getting it started

[@johnpowell239]

Yet another great video Tom. Will the water problem be an issue when parlour is finished or have a plan to stop it? Looking forward to seeing it finlshed and in use.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

I love it, “No problem, only solutions”. 👍👍😊 Hope you brought the lads some of that chocolate.

[@williamswindle5445]

Excellent! I always look forward to your videos!

[@jimpolk]

I'm so excited about your upgrades! Hope it makes your life a lot easier. And more productive

[@annewillmott3091]

Everyone you use to do work on the farm development is a skilled hard worker with a positive spirit! Wonderful to witness, always makes my day, thank you so much, Tom 😊 Hope you brought back chocolate?

[@emmajohnson185]

Loving the channel as always Tom. Loving the cows and the changes to the farm ❤

[@hrdnox450bb]

Couldn't wait for friday for this video

[@peterclarke3300]

Great video Tom it’s coming along nicely now it won’t be long before the floor is in then the next step keep up with the great work 👏👏👍👍

[@phil2114]

Good on you Tom! With the water table so high where you’re farming, I get it!!!

[@edmondmurphy]

Dig a hole in the corner of the pit and stick in a submersible pump to dry it out.

[@adamcran9859]

Looking great my brother love following in every step 💙👌🏻🚜🐂🐑

[@ywainprior1043]

Great video Tom Things progressing nicely.

[@TomFizz16]

Love the videos mate! Keep up the good work mate

[@Mark-qr5om]

Should of dropped a 200 litre plastic drum into front of pit floor, cut the top off after the concrete had dried and dropped a sump pump in that would automatically empty on its float switch, would of kept the pit water free. Afterward just make a concrete lid to sit on it . I offered this advice before, pretty much done this exact same build years ago but this man never replies to my messages

[@glenjones6980]

It'll be grand for dipping the sheep when it' all done :)

[@jamesmarsh4957]

that is moving fast now , its getting there , can't wait to see it done

[@jldisme]

Awesome!

[@mikeman584]

Good team there also a lot of cooperation from Tom and gang. I personally cannot wait to see the parlour up and running. Wishing it the best.

[@Farmerlast]

I have problem with high water table. I would bury a length of field drainage pipe behind the walls back fill with stone to the top and make a sump where an automatic pump can be installed while you have the chance. The fibre glass is on wrong side of walls to keep the water out of the pit , the pressure will be huge

[@jksweetstreats2346]

loving the content buddy farm is coming along nicely :) hope you the best for 2023

[@robinlecomte1242]

Can I suggest that you review the constant water refill into your "pit" that you may have a problem with ground water seeping into the pit, if source is not traced and dealt with, once block work comes to an end, the water problem will continue. Some v/logs back I asked about rain fall/direction etc - no response - and when I look at your paddocks, after rain, and the puddles on ground surface, suggest that under ground water is not draining away, as it does the surface water then sinks into the vacant space - and "me thinks" that there is an accumulation under your buildings! - hence the "swimming pool in your new pit"!!

[@bobuncle8704]

Looking good Tom. Ground water can definitely be frustrating. I sure it’ll work out in the end.

[@andrewduke1489]

Morning Tom

[@denisdunphy9046]

Tom Your a Real Hard Working Man, Respect to Ye.

[@sam-P90]

Coming together nicely mate

[@txurbanbunny]

Lol. Love the Eastenders reference!

[@sandymcghee3328]

Good video Tom 👍👍

[@maxsanderson5387]

Love your vids keep it up 👍

[@beakacalek3765]

Don’t know how you do I. Your water problem is a challenge, but you’ll figure it out. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you so much.

[@ste6004]

Wet blocks or brick build stronger walls the motar dries slower ,dry they pull the water out very quick

[@jonathancharrington3410]

Tom is opening a swimming pool for the moo cows 😂😂

[@ghostrider7688]

😂😂😂

[@Tommymellett]

Good video tom

[@Gamble7080]

Well done keep up the good videos

[@benjaminlamey3591]

nice start

[@MattRileyCreative]

Ahh the pallet struggle 😂

[@robdenio9675]

Nice to see you the other day tom! ;)

[@Mother..nature..77]

Great video Tom 😊

[@yvonneward]

Great video once again Tom 😊

[@tylercayton7557]

Hi tom love the vids good job

[@merrilynwalker1935]

Hey Tom. Great video. So much work. Not that we don’t like looking at you but…..When you’re talking about how much work the boy’s have done, could you show us. 😊

[@Meems56]

Thanks!

[@joycefuller9177]

I love the decoration on you hat!😅

[@normansufrin207]

Looking awesome Tom. What have the guys said about the ground water issue? Can’t wait until Tuesday now 😊

[@claretbuck1882]

Top job 👍🏻

[@richardbaker22]

Great video Tom

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Lol the grass on your hat..

[@DanielJones-ne9yw]

I have Only just noticed were the foot bath now

[@sacrificetosotec]

Love the curious cows

[@ann-mariehayes9574]

again a great video but not long enough need more Tom Pemberton Farm Life lol have started going back to the video's from the beginning before I found this channel and its fun watching the changes happening. Would love to see the layout from above as to whats what as being in Australia cant just pop over to have a look at where everything is in relation to the houses and farm shop. Have a great week

[@markyoull6744]

progress tom thats the main thing

[@ghostrider7688]

That water is a proper pain Tom. Hope that doesn’t continue when finished ☑️

[@jeanmm2996]

Tom, you look like my favorite KZbin bison after he's done tearing into a huge round bale of hay. He wears it on his horns, though.

[@JB-xo4uc]

good video again Tom!... it’s a lovely looking swimming pool you’ve got going on there 😂😂

[@SBEARD12345]

Now to hire a concrete crusher, small type. And crush all that stone up to make a good base of stone for something

[@matthewprice9797]

Should have used concrete panels for the pit and parlour wall a lot quicker and you wouldn't have to fibreglass it, my new parlour 2007 is all panels and it's so easy to keep clean

[@ukulele_cheri]

I live in a new house on top of a hill and groundwater flooded our crawlspace. Yes, ON TOP OF A HILL. Such a hassel to contend with but we have it under control now. *knock wood*

[@farmsimissac8716]

nice comment

[@irenemariebelanger3758]

I think that you can do it all ! Deep inside I know that you do ! 😅😢😂❤

[@ryanowensfarms6616]

Tom when the new milking parlour is built and the bail is gone you could use the shed what the bail is in as a machinery shed to put your mowers crush ect

[@mikehealy74]

Think he's said in a previous vid that it will be a viewing area for the public at some point.

[@HuntMountain06]

Can you put a sump pit in the bottom of the dairy pit?

[@farmboy23-pq7wt]

Like your vids

[@eileenbass952]

Tom, you have said that many years ago the sea was where the farm is now. That is why it is so wet, the sea is trying to reclaim the earth.

[@mrrallyeman389]

Brickies are good 👍

[@peterwalsh1949]

Hi Tom we supplied the concrete blocks, we do offer pallets?? great video hope you were happy with the service

[@ashleywright1991]

From what I understood blocks can't be out in the water which is why there usually rendered...... so with the water issue whats going to stop it killing the blocks🤔

[@gwenmayers9046]

Hi Tom I though they should put the pit in on a slope so that it's easy to clean out but it's starting to take shape

[@-JA-]

👏

[@archiecairns2731]

Hi Tom, Why are you not using the water pump I bought you a few years back!? It's ideal for little flooding jobs like this.

[@sarahmealing2510]

Hi Tom it's All coming together you will be in soon I can't believe have quickly scamming I love watching your videos And please keep us up with all the Cows and the calves I love watching the calves How is little Special had born this year I haven't seen a seen a recently❤❤❤

[@garymadden2656]

👌

[@SC-nv8ve]

The blue pallets are owned by CHEP! Wait for a visit!

[@theDavitos]

well all know that you will move blocks again to use manitou to move it cross the foundation by just extend boom so workers dont need to do as much heavy lifting.. so get them out of rain is a good thing.

[@terryfoster842]

Well done Tom and team, you're getting there
