Nice job. As the home owner, I would've also added a siphon hydrant (purple in color) for the fire department as an auxiliary water source. Great stuff either way!

@arnoldromppai5395 3 жыл бұрын

here that not needed the volunteer fire department just pulls in sticks there 10 suction pipe in the pond and suck it out, they do have a 3 phase 550 volt pump house in the river a mile away from the station, that way they can get water on the way back in the winter when theres 4 feet plus of ice over the river. a 10" pipe is plumbed right into the bottom of the river, when they need water from our ponds or any of the many lakes and rivers all around. they drill a hole and drop a 8" steel L pipe in to hook on to

You have a great skill to handle all the detailed steps during the work and the results looking amazing. It’s really great to watch your videos! I was wondering if you could attach a rope from one corner of the cement overflow to the thumb and then spin the block a little by raising the thumb? When you were digging the ditch and piling up the dirt, I wondered if you ever finished up for the day only to find that parked your truck on the wrong side of the ditch? Thanks for the great videos!
