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 ☺️

[@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.

[@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

[@Harry-zz8qn]

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

[@thebrickybuilders]

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

[@Ladydia1971]

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

[@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

[@carolcurtis2220]

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

[@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 ☺️

[@MrW582]

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

[@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. 👍🤗

[@casham6239]

Love the straw on his hat!!!!❤❤❤

[@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

[@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.

[@Michael-8903]

Just over 16,5 kg close enough 👏

[@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👍

[@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

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

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

[@takumi2023]

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

[@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?

[@charleslynch7274]

They do great work Tom

[@phil2114]

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

[@farmsimissac8716]

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

[@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

[@homey3051]

Looking great Tom

[@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"!!

[@thetundra]

You have the best neighbors!

[@edmondmurphy]

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

[@williamswindle5445]

Excellent! I always look forward to your videos!

[@lewiswatson126]

Good video Tom 🎉

[@jimpolk]

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

[@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.

[@glenjones6980]

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

[@jonathancharrington3410]

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

[@ghostrider7688]

😂😂😂

[@hrdnox450bb]

Couldn't wait for friday for this video

[@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

[@txurbanbunny]

Lol. Love the Eastenders reference!

[@adamcran9859]

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

[@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.

[@TomFizz16]

Love the videos mate! Keep up the good work mate

[@ste6004]

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

[@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 👏👏👍👍

[@ywainprior1043]

Great video Tom Things progressing nicely.

[@MattRileyCreative]

Ahh the pallet struggle 😂

[@emmajohnson185]

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

[@benjaminlamey3591]

nice start

[@andrewduke1489]

Morning Tom

[@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. 😊

[@DanielJones-ne9yw]

I have Only just noticed were the foot bath now

[@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.

[@linkes28]

Lol the grass on your hat..

[@sam-P90]

Coming together nicely mate

[@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.

[@jksweetstreats2346]

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

[@denisdunphy9046]

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

[@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

[@sandymcghee3328]

Good video Tom 👍👍

[@bobuncle8704]

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

[@Tommymellett]

Good video tom

[@jamesmarsh4957]

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

[@joycefuller9177]

I love the decoration on you hat!😅

[@jldisme]

Awesome!

[@ghostrider7688]

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

[@maxsanderson5387]

Love your vids keep it up 👍

[@SBEARD12345]

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

[@tylercayton7557]

Hi tom love the vids good job

[@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🤔

[@normansufrin207]

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

[@Gamble7080]

Well done keep up the good videos

[@robdenio9675]

Nice to see you the other day tom! ;)

[@Mother..nature..77]

Great video Tom 😊

[@yvonneward]

Great video once again Tom 😊

[@SC-nv8ve]

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

[@HuntMountain06]

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

[@richardbaker22]

Great video Tom

[@JB-xo4uc]

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

[@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

[@sacrificetosotec]

Love the curious cows

[@claretbuck1882]

Top job 👍🏻

[@beardy4831]

On that drain pipe, plumb in a backflow preventer. Probably not a perfect seal but you don't want muck backflowing into the pit while you're trying to milk in the future.

[@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.

[@peterwalsh1949]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@farmboy23-pq7wt]

Like your vids

[@irenemariebelanger3758]

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

[@mikeysgarage3697]

Need to dig a sump pit lower than the floor of the milking pit, for the excess water to drain into and be pumped out.

[@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.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Enjoyed ✔️

[@rpjwhite]

Can we all snigger about Kieron coming with his “pecker”!?!

[@robthomas7232]

I think Tom said that Kieron whacked it off with his pecker! All with a straight face which is very unusual for Tom 😂

[@GuyverGamingTV]

I was thinking the same thing. Made me giggle.

[@bucko3644]

Yes we can and certainly will 😂

[@MTerrance]

I was once told to keep my pecker in my pants...😂😂😂

[@allentowngal4769]

That's what she said... sorry. Can't believe Tom didn't say it last video.😂😂

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

Could dig a sump hole and put the pump in it

[@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

[@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

[@Meems56]

Thanks!

[@mrrallyeman389]

Brickies are good 👍

[@markyoull6744]

progress tom thats the main thing

[@Gadsden1776]

You’ve got a leaky seal on the Manitou, the bucket was dipping when you were loading it up.. 😉

[@mikehealy74]

wouldn't be a farm without some bit of equipment that is held together by baler twine, gaffer tape and a prayer!

[@Gadsden1776]

Lol Mike, soooo true. 😂🤣

[@jwiereng]

how do you know it is a leaking seal? perhaps a leaking hose, perhaps a leaking pipe, perhaps a leaking valve
