Repairing Neighbor Al's Rusty Water Pipes

Рет қаралды 24,139

In this video, neighbor Al and I repair the rusty water pipes under his off grid cabin in the woods. After discovering a slow flow of water to his kitchen faucet, we decided it was time to replace the rusty old iron pipes from the original build of his cabin (1977). Using PEX pipe, we crawl underneath his cabin and replace the old iron pipe with new brass tees, shutoffs and high quality crimps. After finishing this project, Al has better water flow through his faucets from his gravity fed, natural spring water source.
Thanks for watching!

These days it's rare for the young to want to help the old(er) people. You are a good soul.

Jeez he's 80+ under the sink cranking wrenches .. amazing.

@lindageorge6174 2 ай бұрын

If you think that's impressive, you should watch the last video of those two, where Al was skiing for hours like he was 20 years old, after 25 years of no skiing! Amazing!

Nothing better than learning from our elders and helping them where we can. I have many many elder teachers.

This is what humanity is all about. The young generation being taught by the older generation while helping the old with tasks that may be too labor intensive for them. Sad this isn't more common, but keep spreading the positivity!!

You are a swell dude Diego. I'm guessing you probably receive more from Al than he does you. What a wonderful friendship the 2 of you have.

I am over the top impressed by both of you. I have only been subscribed for a short time. I was going to ask about your back story, but I see you have posted a video. Thank you so much for what you do. I am 71 years old and do not know what I would do without the younger people in my life. Especially my daughter. Much love to you.

There’s community right there. History evolves and is more rich with all generations working together which is why the Amish communities work so well. How ever with the internet bringing people together like these two and a willingness to embrace ordinary life as it evolves I want to see more stories like these. 🙏🏽

I live just north of Olympia and have been wanting to work on an off grid cabin for years. I enjoy your videos and it’s awesome you could help your neighbor out. You could tell how much it meant to him. I subscribed and liked. I’m jealous of the hands on experience you have been getting lol.

Nice and meaningful job! Wouldnt a simple settling filter on the spring pipe a nice addition to prevent clogging? At least if there is a filter which doesn't require cleaning to often.

Given the flow you got from the hose bib I would expect the sink to flow at a higher volume. I’m not a plumber though.

I know ! I know Diego left wishing he could have changed out that faucet. I really wish he would have allowed him to. If it's not the faucet, something is being overlooked. That flow doesn't make any sense.
