Trenching!

[@pseggons9512]

I'm in the south of UK and find it amazing that although being approximately on the same latitude as you that we rarely go below minus 10 degrees Celsius. Long live the Gulf Stream........ Heck those water pipes are so deep.

[@Northern_Farmer]

I have had lines freeze at 7 feet down.....gotta be 8 or more feet

[@ddiver2200]

cool, simple ready house, but I'm just worried about the big pool, it would be better to install a net fence

[@gavinperry7237]

Excellent planning for multiple water sources that feed the house as well as various hydrants that can independently be shut down if future repairs or expansion are required without affecting the main water supply to house. The future trees will certainly appreciate the dug out water rather than RO water. I work for some cattle farmers with older established yard sites that unfortunately don't have enough separate valves on water lines thus water supply to houses has to be temporarily shut down when doing repairs to cattle watering bowls & hydrants. The extra planning you are doing now along with some extra piping & valves will certainly pay dividends in the future if issues arise.

[@379insk]

Looks like you are doing it right the 1rst time. Much better than doing it half assed and having to do it twice. Guys around here are starting to lay to water lines from well to house in case down the road one fails you don't have to dig it up.

[@danadams8718]

Thats the way to do it with 2 water systems. My father did that back in the sixties, 2 of everything cost more but we sure appreciated it for the next 50 years!

[@johnwesner3935]

Hey Mike, looks like youll be spending some serious time at the north farm. I'm also sure that by creating a comfortable environment for the family youll be able to remain close which i see as important to you. Im also glad to see your contractors cutting the banks back where they had to enter the trench. I dont think many non construction people realize how dangerous trench work is. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@paulprigge1209]

We lost a few up here in northeast Missouri over the years.

[@mcd5082]

Wow your frost line is deep! Thanks for sharing Mike!

[@petercole2339]

Here in South Carolina we dont even have to bury water line..we just lay it on the ground and sweep some pine needles over top..

[@kiwifarmer8828]

That's what I am used to in NZ.

[@JamesMcLaren1000]

If we did that in Canada it would freeze solid. Where I live it has to be at least three feet down, where Mike is probably more like 6 feet 😀.

[@m-videos3643]

In Germany waterlines go around 2,5-3 ft. deep in the ground. Can't belive how deep you have to go in Sask. Keep up the great work 👍👍🚜🚜

[@autobootpiloot]

In the Netherlands it’s enough to go about 60cm deep. Any less and the pipes will work themselves up to the surface. For freezing you could actually go less. The main water lines do run deeper though, I think about the same as Germany.

[@etrain757]

@@autobootpilootoh man I wish, where I live in Manitoba Canada, it has to be at least 300cm below the ground

[@MrJurssi]

Such easy digging without cow size underground rocks 😂

Your one busy man Mike. Really love the videos and appreciate the time and effort you put in to them. All the best from Wales (uk)

Mike it is looking good . Nice house it will be very nice when all is done

[@Prouddadofone]

Good planning on the water. There was no potable water source in our yard so we had haul it all in. The shallow well we had was only good for pressure washing!

[@NoahHofer-vw2cl]

Hi Mich I’m wandering if u need some help through the winter?

[@douglaskoonce2097]

Looking Terrific Mike!!

[@jimbaumann6579]

Put all your trees & shrubs etc on timed drip irrigation

[@farming4g]

Thanks for showing Mike... Im needing to build an on-site house/cabin/shophouse soon, nice seeing your process. Only issue im running into is finding good new water source to replace the old bored farm well

[@delbutler885]

Just witch it with 2 brass welding rods

[@davidlogel2350]

Yard that we are at never had a well of any kind on it. Previous owners had a double jet pump set up from a dugout to the basement. 2022 we had Hwy 1 drill a well for us. 519ft I think it was.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

Getting pretty lucky with weather IMO. Could be fighting blizzards or at least snow storms.

[@pietoosterhof5901]

Those guys are good with that crane.

[@jackbannock3458]

That seems like a small septic tank, we have around the same size house and they put a big 2 chamber cement tank in this summer since our old one collapsed. And we out lines at least 8ft down, have had them freeze when theyre shallower

[@stever5359]

Mike doesn’t need a bigger septic system because he’s so busy he doesn’t have time for shit.

[@fredericdelage1542]

Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et la maison et les travaux est bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊

[@jameswells5617]

I can't wait to see Ernie knifing in that Natural fert.

[@Mthwsshootr]

I cannot believe that people are actually questioning why the sell house is on top of the well ?? Where would it be below it

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video, seems weird out there , keep it simple

[@deancook6832]

Interesting. In my area waterlines only need to be below 30". You guys have to work a lot harder to trench lines and set hydrants than we do.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Frost goes down 6 feet here..especially if there is any traffic on it...

[@recklessbehaviour01]

Morning

[@andykeyes9309]

What's yourbfroze line up there. Our in southern Indiana is 36 inches can get by with 32 now a days in soddded areas

[@codyarnold5672]

Hopefully you see this Mike, definitely wrap your water lines and sewer lines in heat trace and wrap them in pipe insulation for everything that isn't in the ground, but one think happy I did was from sewer tree and water line was from the tree to 8ft under ground also wrapped the water and sewer in heat trace and insulation! What a life saver!! Also suggest wrapping everything in pump house in heat trace and insulation too and get the big electrical heater from Canadian tire/ princess auto! That shack will stay toasty!

[@zach9755]

Is there a reason to have the well house above ground, needing heating? Our wellhouse was just recessed into the ground.

[@BillyTheKid689]

Mike, I must have missed it. Is this going to be your family home?

Hi Mike, I gotta question, don't you get bored with so little to do? 🤔😂🤣😂

[@paulking9395]

I may have missed it but are you and your family planning on living in that modular home?

[@bassomatic1871]

The sewer tank hanging by the chains looks like a WW2 atomic bomb.

[@farmboy-rz5xh]

Mike is a contractor doing the digging or is your brother Brian doing it for you, it will be nice to have a place to live for you and your hired workers.

[@CrowSons2]

Just curious, how deep do y’all have to bury your waterlines ?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Everything has to be under 8ft and if you are driving on it then 10ft is rule of thumb.

[@randyscott8660]

I don't think those gas lines are plastic..I think they are steel coated with plastic at least the ones i seen were..

What time is sunset that far north.

[@glennlangford7736]

More or less sunrise at 8:20am sunset at 5:05pm this time of year in that part of Saskatchewan

[@Rcod2013]

Jeez I'm glad i dont live in north America. We only bury to 8 to 12 inches just to stop driving over it and to stop uv damage to the plastic. I'm in oz

[@dirtdevil70]

It’s not so much a North America thing as it is a Northern North America thing. Gets really cold with relatively little snow cover so the frost goes very deep.

@kerryrouse9039 that hydrant looked like it was 12ft long

We go 6 ft deep in southern MN, long ways south of there.

[@lukepullen5467]

Why is the well house not on top of the well.

[@waggtech4883]

Submersible pump with pitless adapter. Control panel and bladder tank can be at a remote location…

[@kerryrouse9039]

Tough to service a 130 ft well when you have to pull the pipe. And the well has to be where the water is.

They drain out when shut off water valve so they won't freeze in winter. His frost line could be 8 to 10 foot.
