Water Tank Loft - Installing flooring and a winter refill

[@chadreynvaan]

L, you work like me; carefully, methodically, with an eye towards perfection.

[@DebbiePhillips-r1h]

Girl! I am impressed!! Is there anything you can't do!?

[@angelakushner9887]

even if you have to remove the 2x4 ,and redo the wall a bit.I wouldget rid of that water container, and put it on your deck and built a box for it and insulation it and the bottom.

[@kimmartin2522]

You guys are doing great and Rowan seeing herself in the camera is so adorable!!! ❤

[@carolinebrown6033]

Ya know when u change it for a smaller one, find somewhere else to put the small tank & the batteries and that space can become a bedroom for little one ,,, , u could do like a little landing on top of the cupboard u have built and then have stairs coming down from there , stay warm & safe this winter x :)

[@marciabullock5913]

Rowan is growing so quickly!!! She is definitely a beautiful baby💕 Hoping Cody heals quickly.

[@kateymateymusic1]

What a blessing to have that water!!! Your sanity will be saved!!

[@mariezafonte6473]

The water looks nice and clean. I think Rowan knows the camera is on her. So cute!! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@carolyngregory9354]

Good job, Lori. I hope Cody’s hand heals soon.

[@dianah360]

Your baby is beautiful you can tell she’s loved ❤

[@waylonhartwell]

You could either go with an upright cylinder tank or you get a pickup truck 175 gallon tank and swap it out with the 350 and slide it up against the wall. I personally would probably do two 175 tanks up against the wall facing each other with individual shut off valves coming from each tank. Then you can fill up one tank and fill up the other tank then run off of one tank and once you've depleted the other tank you can switch over to the other tank then fill up the other tank when the other tank has depleted so there isn't a time crunch to have to fill up a tank when it has emptied then you can plan on doing it on a nice day in the winter

[@carolyncarr136]

We have an off grid cabin in Colorado and fill two tanks in crawl space. We let our well run at least 20 minutes outside before putting hose on it to fill tanks. Maybe next time run it outside before you fill it again. Also we use a britta water pitcher for our drinking water as i think i taste the plastic tank. Great job on flooring

[@MaryRicketts-g7k]

Phewwww. You're busy but a good busy. So glad you have that beautiful water. Have a good week😅

[@CynthiaMiller-cc3qj]

Things are really coming along. Rowan has grown a lot and is so cute.

[@roreyb7]

Good to see you guys progressing its a lot of work but you get them done again congratulations on the well I'm sure it makes a major difference !!

[@ricktrick1540]

I've the same LED lights in my ceilings throughout the house, 6 years now. Perfect!

[@missymontgomery4986]

Tell Rowan hello .😅 I think it's adorable how she talks into the camera she was just dancing right along she's beautiful

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great job! 👍 That precious baby girl is growing❤️Prayers for Cody🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@bonneymoseley1159]

Cody, i hope you didn't hurt your wrist to bad. It wont be long and you two will be able to just give Rowan the camera and let her handle it lol. I think a star of the show has been born! 😅😂😅

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Having a well is sure gonna be nice

[@sophietierney-jf6el]

I didn’t know you can put a water tank in a roof cool and are you sure the attic roof will support the weight of the tank and the water will need to put more support beams to hold the extra weight 🙂🙂😋🤔❓

[@babsoneverything3060]

Yay! Progress! Hoping Cody gets better quickly!!

[@carsonCuff-e1l]

Rowan is so adorable, love the way she can see herself in the camera and her smile!!

Great video thanks for sharing it with use baby girl is growing up quickly she is adorable those big eyes stay safe and warm from England 👶🏻❄️

[@andrewdaniel653]

Great to see the baby getting involved. Gonna be editing and filming soon enough. I'm sure you'll pick up a few more subscribers too.

[@michiganjfrog5714]

The baby bouncing was so cute.

[@elizabethbushey4814]

Your daughter is amazingly adorable ❤

[@valfromtexas999]

I'd recommend a filter for the water. Amazon should have something you can attach to the house after first running it for a bit outside

[@charlenegrady8781]

Water is much clearer. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm winter is here. Thanks for sharing. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

[@MarieTaylor-q8l]

I love it. I am happy for you all. Keep on going I enjoy it very much 💗😊

[@janemay8721]

Rowan is so cute! Nice job on the flooring.

[@robertbartmann8470]

The place is really coming together. The flooring looks great and it looks like it's very easy to work with. Lori, you always have an audience when installing it. That Rowan sure loves the camera. What a ham!😊 She even did a little dance for your viewers. Super sweet. Just want to take time to wish you guys a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know that you count your blessings every day. Take care and God bless.

[@stevewalters4565]

Y’all are doing great! Your little girl is growing so big. Enjoy that it’s fleeting to say to least. Keep on Truckin!😎🇺🇸

[@bernadettesingh6148]

Ooh Miss Cutie Pie Rowan. She is not camera shy. What an intelligent girl. Very observant. And she’s standing already!! ❤️ wishing Cody a speedy recovery. Take it easy. 🇦🇺fan

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Rowan is growing so fast

[@christopherhopkinson2411]

I strongly recommend you get your well water tested to ensure it is safe to drink for all of you. The water testing will also help in determining the type of water filtering system require.

[@ilzitek2419]

Rowan is the cutest baby. ❤

[@onamissionfortruth6326]

You do great work girl! NICE!

[@karenexner6848]

The baby is adorable.☺️

[@robertoler3795]

well done nice job

[@Gonepeanuts]

Flooring is looking great. You are a pro at it. Congratulations on the well water making life easier one step at a time.

[@detour7790]

Moving right along.

[@lisatanner3713]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@angelakushner9887]

hi, now you got wate,r you should threw out the plastic water container out the up stair window, and make a room up there.

[@jimmycpm]

She is so adorable. Judy C

[@annregan5330]

Hi Lori you are a very hard worker indeed so all these jobs take time but your getting there aww rowan standing up she's always smiling into the camera so clever she is and loves all the attention beautiful little girl always love your video's take care oh hope cody is back in action soon bless you all 👍👍❤❤❤👋

[@GlennaCosnyka]

On your previous video, you said that you had to be quiet so that you didn’t wake your baby. I ran a home daycare for 30 years and the best thing they ever came out with was sound machines I would run those during my nap time, and the kids would sleep really well. Love your videos and your little family.❤

[@cathyjones3403]

It’s looking great

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼

[@joellacecil7474]

What happened to Cody’s hand?

[@tammyedmunds668]

Hi guys, you both are doing such a wonderful job with everything especially Rowan, she is the most precious little baby. 💖 I hope Cody is feeling better soon 🙏 also Lori you are a woman of many trades, the floors look great 👍 Much love from Newfoundland 🇨🇦 ♥️

[@janetholdread]

Lol yall going the opposite direction I'm wanting to go upgrading to a well I really like the idea of watter catchment that simplified gravity feed is ideal ish I'm going to have solar and Battry bank so simple 12v pump just makes sense I'm doing everything for coust savings get bills as simple cheap next to no maintenance as possible before retirement

[@angelakushner9887]

hi,yous should do the whole loft.then you'll have more room.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Way to go my friends! I am not looking forward todo flooring again anytime soon

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Why do you need water storage tank now that you have a well? You could build a pump house with shower to keep water pressure tank and solar in. Heat it with a Chinese diesel heater.

[@BrendaHewitt-y1w]

Great job

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@michaelcravens3767]

If you find a way to elevate the tank outside somewhere and use it for water storage. You will then not need to put in a pressure tank and waste power on running the well pump all of the time. Just fill up the tank when needed and the elevated tank will give you all the water pressure that you need.

[@harlanmclain1719]

Oh and by the way I had to run my well for a month when I first had it drilled so let her run won't hurt it at all gl

[@RickMatheny-yi4pg]

Water is just a little more than 8# per gallon so be careful with the weight up there.

[@beverleydouglas8502]

I think a walkway bridge from one loft to another would look great and be easier to turn into a child’s bedroom. Plus be safer to use the one staircase for safe access.

[@OldSchoolAlaska]

👍👍

[@BKAD623-hz7ln]

Hope Cody is alright ✌️

[@davidstakston1950]

You need to ask Santa Claus for a great pair of walkie-talkies.

[@victoriamaaske7420]

Was it pretty warm in the loft? Flooring looks great. Last part went real fast with precut pieces. Have you seen moose and deer in the yard? You both have done alit of remodelling homes in Wisconsin and now your new build in Alaska. Good skills to have.

[@glengillis7775]

please make sure the loft can hold that much weight

[@harlanmclain1719]

Don't the The electric start work on that brand new generac I've had 3 of them so far None of them last more than 2 years Now I got a Harbor freight and I've had this 1 for 4 years never had a problem yet knock on wood but hopefully u guys have better luck then I have had with them and Read your manual Cause it tells you you have to adjust the valves every time you change the oil And you do have to. it'll get harder to start as u use it more but good luck and god bless you & yours

[@sabrinamarshall6808]

Why do you do all the work and Cody does not?

[@linhaton4957]

Just curious as to why you are spending time on a loft floor when your living area needs finishing. It’s a mess.

[@maryhall6584]

When they did last week's video they need to finish the wall finishing complete so they can do the built in's, until then they will have things around. Have you ever lived in a space with no built in storage or thru a remodel? Unless you have you can't understand the process or challenges. They are doing amazing

[@donaldbassett8769]

Hi doll i am a little confused why is it you are doing and your Husband is playing with your Daughter . And He is going to have to get a little better has Meconial to survive up there your great mom and partner 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@GGMASherry]

I really hope you tested your water before you drink it. There are some really nasty bacteria’s out there that can make you pretty miserable!

[@timray1827]

Poor loft floor water weights 8 lbs per gallon 😢

[@PerryCline-h4c]

Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon

[@haroldholland1316]

Hopefully the floor joist was re-enforced to allow for the extra weight.

[@lorrainedunbar4274]

How is it you know more than him ???? He is just your helper . ok fine just wierd

[@maryhall6584]

Lori may like doing flooring better than Cody? It's ok, she doesn't like cutting trees as much as Cody does. It's called team work and partnership

[@dwaynefahrmeier812]

You should invest in patted knee pads. One of you has great legs, and the other, well, he will be on his knees much more, and I'm not sure about his legs.

[@DebDeBoop]

I honestly think you should have your hair tied up when you are doing this. You could end up with hair in the tank and possibly cause issues with any pumps or shutoffs that you have. Also it’s not very sanitary if you want to use it as drinking water. I’m not trying to be bossy or ignorant,just a health conscious person.

[@joefader]

Try putting your hair up so it’s not flying all over the place.

[@donnaboney2502]

Wow your bossy.

[@suepeterson5675]

@@donnaboney2502it’s not bossy , it’s a safety factor.

I agree, keep your hair out of the way.
