Solving Water Leaks On 140 Year Old Farm! Temporary Water Faucet Install

Рет қаралды 14,871

2 ай бұрын

In this Old Byrd Farm episode, join me and my friend Daniel as we tackle a crucial issue on the farm: water leaks. These leaks have been causing trouble, so we roll up our sleeves and get to work.
First, we dig up the water meter to locate the source of the problem. Once the meter is exposed, we disconnect it from the house to prevent further leaks. With the main water supply temporarily halted, we install a new faucet behind the meter. This allows us to maintain a steady water supply for the chickens and garden while we address the leak issue.
Watch as we navigate the challenges of farm maintenance, demonstrating practical solutions and teamwork. Whether you're a seasoned farmer or just enjoy learning about farm life, this video offers valuable insights into everyday problem-solving on a historic farm.
Join us on this journey to ensure our farm stays well-watered and thriving!

I did not learn anything about plumbing but I sure did enjoy the “banter” between you two. Daniel’s son is a true country boy entertaining himself in the mud hole.

There is nothing as wonderful as running water when you’ve been without it for a long time. ❤️🐝🤗

@HarperFan01 Ай бұрын

What a strange coincidence, people were calling and sending me messages that the news said we had to boil our water, due to a contamination. Called my county water company and we are not affected. And here I pulled up this video and you are working on your water lines.

That's great. But this is the first time I've ever heard of a farm having town water instead of their own well. You learn something new every day.

A job well done, guys! Congratulations on your temporary permanent water set up out there on the OBF!😁 So nice of Daniel to come out and help you get your water going. Enjoyed Hunter, too. What a good kid. I loved how Daniel didn't even flinch when you said Hunter was sitting in a mud puddle!😄 What a down-to-earth dad. Thanks for letting us hang out with you. Glad you got this problem fixed!🥰

Wish I could say BY this winter, But being realisitic here.🙂then again still praying for you..

@shellydehart8217 Ай бұрын

Boy, what a coincidence I had that done to my house this morning. I woke up to water front property. Actually a copper pipe had a pin hole n decided to get bigger n bigger. So you guessed it had to replace all pipes from meter to house. They used something called Pex. I bet your problem was a lot cheaper to fix than mine. It cost me $4100.00 dollars. You’re so lucky to know someone who’s a plumber. I already forked out over $9000.00 for air conditioner n unit. I sure hope that’s the end of my troubles for awhile. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🐾🐾🐾🐾🐈‍⬛

So nice to have running water. Where I go at times in Mexico, water to the houses is rationed, goes into rooftop tanks, then a gravity feed or a pump. Showers often have a pull chain, so when you let go, the water goes off.

Daniel and Hunter are fun! I think Hunter showed us the earthworm the same way Robert typically does. It was very sweet of him. I can't believe you didn't taste the water with the prototype tool, Robert. I was certain you were going to compare it to the Oak Mountain Spring water. Opportunity missed!

That pipe is going to freeze and burst In the winter. It's not below the frost line. Those valves are actually designed to be put inside of your house so that it shuts off in the house where the heat is, not underground. It's temporary because that pipe is going to burst in the winter.

@JohnMarciaShackelford Ай бұрын

What part of the country are you from? If it's somewhere like Minnesota or North Dakota I would agree with you. I'm not sure, but I don't think Georgia has that problem. Their frostline is probably 6". Sure, it gets 30ish° maybe once/winter, but I don't think they generally have that problem. Not jumping you or anything 😊.
