"What's the point of being in the country if you're right on top of the road?" Yep. Totally agree with you on that one, says this city dweller.

We have lived several places through the years that had septic systems. Never did we have one that detailed and complicated. Unbelievable!

That system looks like it could handle the city!!!!

Not enough can be said for country living. The peaceful quiet, the stars not washed-out by city lights, your open view of beautiful sunsets - i am truly jealous! I hope this is not the last we see of you - Sam and Angela. I have really enjoyed your company (videos) and I can't wait to enjoy more. So what is to be next? A breather first!!

if you have any large rocks/boulders around your property, use them to set up a rock garden around the pole. That would also have the effect of making sure you never drive over the tanks.

Good to see it's installed and hooked up with the States blessing! You guys have been through a lot and have held up well. I would have been crying.

You both have basicly made your 1988 home into a 2023 model on the inside ,good job!

Good decision to keep your home where it is! So many negatives being next to the road. Fumes, noise, ogelers, chance of someone driving into your home, etc. You made a healthier choice. 😄👍

Man that’s quite the septic ❣️

8:32, am I the only one that giggled at that point? I know, I'm supposed to be mature but still.😂😂😂😂

What an ordeal!!!! Seems a bit overkill, but as Sargeant Schultz would say, "I know nuuuthing". For you guys - Happy it's done. Thanks for sharing.

I've had a hydraulic hose pop once, long drive to the deer dealer to get a new one. After waiting 3 years for our house we are finally getting the septic installed this week.

My experience with septic people and septic county regulations. Both need to be in a septic system.

That was interesting. I’ve never heard of that type of system and it is huge! That system will last forever. ❤️❤️❤️

Cool snake! Your son is so cute. I love when the kids are in your videos. They both are growing so fast, your oldest has gotten a lot taller over the past couple of months or so. PS - y’all are two of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen, your place is looking awesome. PPS - your bloopers are awesome, I was laughing so hard at y’all calling back at the birds 😂😂

Love the drone footage! And the music was 👍 !

I think you should do an underground bunker. I've already said you needed to do a tornado shelter. Tennessee gets tornadoes and flat land gets tornadoes.

Thanks!

All I can say is WOW! Wow, what you have been through. I have no other words.... Thanks for sharing, God Bless

I absolutely loved the overhead shots and music, it helps to highlight the magnificence of engineering.

My daughter lives in a old farm house, and her septic tank is right next to the foundation. First time I ever saw one. Bless you guys, and your really patient

I live in Eastern KY and also moved a mobile home onto our property after a house fire because it was cheaper than rebuilding and quicker so not as much time off work to get reestablished,, plus today mobile homes really are built pretty well as any other home, just in a way that they can be moved to a site.. Our septic is very similar.. no pump system, but a large tank, with a smaller dispersal box leading off to (3) 180ft lengths of leaching chambers.. AND before we could even start on it, had to have a state inspector come out, do a site survey and tell us what kind , how big and how much leaching bed we had to have, and to do tht, he not only considered the land and how it was laid out, but he even drilled a hole in the ground, poured a gallon of water into it and then timed how fast it took to sink into the ground, and that was how he decided on leaching bed size and such.. It's a very complicated business now a days, and the power company wont come near you until it's in and has a sticker on it saying it passed inspection and was done all properly and according to the states regs..

I think the inspector got a kickback of courses I'm looking at a video, but looking at your dirt and how dry it was that deep I think they did an over kill, but you should never have SEPTIC TANK problem for 100 Years and that a good thing

Your smart, do it right the first time and hope no problems for 20-30 years. Thats smart. Looks like you are having a hard grade septic system.

We had two in Florida. It was because the house we bought was to close to a creek for the drain field. So everything went into the first one and got pumped to the second one 150 ft up the slope and then out to the drain field half of which was in our neighbors yard. But it was ok with them. It watered the trees between us.

You’re not poopologists lol. Septic systems have changed so much since I worked with my then hubby with such things. This is all cool watching each step of your process. Leach files that’s the issue. It’s so complicated now. I’ve got a friend who puts them in has for almost thirty years he’s seen a lot of changes as well. Was this done before your skirting? I sure hope so. Ehgad he blew a hydraulic hose. The hoses are a common place problems. Ooh crop circles hee hee

IN OUR DAYS THEY JUST USED GRAVEL.WE HAD A STEEP DROP LIVING IN MOUNTAINS EVERYTHING RUNS DOWN HILL LOL. THAT WAS IN 1963.

It's a process !! Took me over 2 months to get it !! Waiting to get my modular home !!

WOW what a huge septic system.

Yes getting closer bet you so excited

In the San Antonio, TX area, you mostly see aerobic systems. The aerobic part comes from a compressor that runs continuously to add oxygen to the solid side and break down the waste. The liquid runs into the 2nd half of the tank where it is pumped out via 3 sprinklers.

17:17 That sweeping music is perfectly paired with the majesty of aerial video of a septic tank. LOL.

I recommend pumping the tank every 3 years or so and use flushable enzymes monthly to help keep your system healthy.

Your video production and music ❤ Is top notch!!

Educational episode on the alternative to the traditional septic system, learned a lot. On your 4 x 4 hand buzzer septic post, to protect and prevent weather damage to the top of your post, what if you use one of your deck post caps as protection; just a thought. "Thanks" for sharing!

Where we live in Washington state it is called an engineered system and we had to go the expensive route as well!

Awesome progress guy's !!!!! Great job . This way , any failures should be on them or product !!!!!

Be thankful you live in Tennessee. I live in Ohio and our septic system cost us 20 grand.

You should install a tornado shelter. That septic tank is huge. I never knew they were that huge 😳

Now it ready to move in before winter.

I’m just happy you guys have it done, one step closer to getting into the house. Plus living on top of the road isn’t fun. And those beautiful decks you just made, glad you made the right decision. Stay safe and God bless

The government has total control on every part of our lives. It’s a shame you all had to go through that. I don’t blame you for putting your home where you wanted it.

Just got ahead and pump that $#!+ ALL the way to the commishers office 🤣🤣🤣

You might want to have risers put on the tanks it will save you some money when you have to have the tanks pumped because they charge you more to dig up and find the opening of the tanks. Plus don't flush disposable wipes because they will plug your tanks and might burn up your pump They also say to have your tanks check and pumped out every 3 to 5 years it all depends on how many people you have living in the house Good Luck

We have an aerobic system, no pumps required. East Texas. We do have sand mostly.

I very quiet video. And I watched it all. Different than my arobic system here in Central Ok. But I have a 2 sprinklers off if it instead of leach lines. Enjoyed this video too. See you all on the next one.

“Buy once, cry once” Is there another part to this saying? We want a bunker too! It makes all the sense. (Blast From The Past is a fantastic movie) We’re excited for an orchard update, and videos about planning for perennials and gardens and critters! Keep up the good work!

That is the largest and most complex residential septic system I have ever seen. You sure they didn't misunderstand or something, lol. Looks like a system for a large business.

I was married to someone who inspected septic systems, near vulnerable lakes, and on small urban type lots... I've never, ever, ever seen anything this elaborate!!!! It is hard to imagine the need for such complication, but the rules are the rules. And to think our ancestors settled in similar places, dug one hole, threw up a small structure with a seat in it, called it an outhouse, and carried on in good health.

My house has that.we live rural Kentucky so we needed one

Love the birds

I see in this video you don’t have the block skirting that you built. Will you show us that procedure someday. It sure makes your mobile home look so much more like a stick built home and I imagine it will look even more so after you side it as I believe you all have mentioned being in the future.

Wow! Take care and be blessed.

WOW! That seems like a huge system! 😱

wow that system is flipping huge.....

I grew up on 13 acres. We had septic systems; it was a couple of concrete tanks with a pump. I remember having to start the pump to empty the tank when it was full. I believe my dad had the water from the sinks and washer set up to water the yard, much like many cities(suburban areas) do currently.

👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️ Bless your hearts guess digging for the electric proved you had more rock than clay😔 sure thankful that is all behind you guys....put you up a cute fence color to match your surroundings, close to the post sorta like a corner point fence to hide the post but still able to get to it, then plant you some beautiful scrubs and flowers close to it to "dress" it up.👍

I hope to see your home when it's all done

Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

Move in day is coming. Yay

Is it a SHTF-Alarm then? 💩🤣 Glad it is done, it is so worth it. Also - I didn't know Sam is a budding birdwhisperer 😂

Wow, so crazy to see this older footage where you have no deck! Just goes to show how much progress you all have made. 🤩 Nice drone footage too!!!

So happy for ya'll..!!

Just make sure you don't use flushable wipes. I work on them all the time and that is the number one cause of pump failure. The wipes should sink, but most float right into pump basin.

Wow, he dug a pit twice or three times as deep as the waterline and never hit a single rock. Just nice sandy soil. Amazing.

that is just insane!!!wonderful gov't!!!

Wow, I never saw a septic system that spread out! Love your videos, keep them coming!

Fantastic I know your happy your threw with that🤗👍🙏

This is awesome, I love time traveling. Sam's hat still looks awesome.

Hey guys,,, I really like your channel... Funny enough,,,, this is the standard sceptic tank system in Johannesburg,, Australia and the UK.... I'm soooooooo suprised that you have these options in your state.... Because in California,,,, they have a standard system,,,, also 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My folks put similar system in but theirs used sprinkler heads to spray the filtered water out on the yard. But they have a smaller property.

That looks really good. Now THATS a drain field!! About 4 times ours in Washington State!! We put ours in in 1973. Have a 2800 sq ft, 4 bedroom two story house on it. Have only had to pump it out from time to time. Yours should be great!! 👍👏👏👏👏

Wow your perc test must have been awesome. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!! What a story!! I can't wait for your move-in day. Hugs to all of you sweet friends!!

Love to watch your videos and see your progress can’t wait for your next update Hello from California

Well I anit never saw a septic system like that !!!! Bless your hearts. Love ya guys !

Wow your channel has grown!! I started watching you when you were planning out the big garden for veggies. And the fence. My my things have changed. Then I saw a couple of you preparing to move. I am so happy to see blessing flow from hard work and determination. Utube has done you good.

Thank you for doing this video. So informative to see how a septic tank looks like on video.

Another adventure to add to the story of your new home. Beautiful. It's coming along nicely. 🥰🥰 Be well. God bless you all.

Wow what a septic system, so different from ours. I’m so glad your closer and closer to moving into your home.

"But, Sir, why do we need a Cadillac septic system? Why doesn't a Chevrolet septic system not qualify?" Holy Moly! Would have opted for the back-from-the-road system, too. Just glad it is done. One step closer to moving in. ❤👍👏👊💪✨✨✨

Love your hard work and home!!

I can’t believe you couldn’t put a traditional system out there. We had one of these type of systems in WA state, but ours had to run up a hill to a leach bed so it made sense because of the location of the house. I may be wrong, but i think you guys got taken to the cleaners. Oh, make sure you have a backup up source of power for the septic pump. Our electric went out one time and we didn’t know this was the type of septic system we had (older house) and we had a lovely backup into the bathtub…yuk! 😆 Also, we put in an alarm if the septic pump stopped working.

Good evening Sam and Angela.

after watching the first 22:12 min of the video, to me you need to make a copy of the plot map of the field lines and tanks, maybe make your own map so you can plant trees or what ever in the future, build a building, just for your own safety reasons for the future, Later

Make sure you mark your Clean out lid for Future Clean process. Being new it will be 10 years or so. But if you know where it is. It makes it easier to do so

My parents house had a 1500 gallon septic tank with 3 drain fields, a 275 feet water supply well and a 375 feet return well since they installed dual zone geothermal heating and cooling back in 1993 when they built their house on Kent Island Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. Late Summer the grass above the drain fields always turns brown vs in the Spring it's very green. My understanding that is from the extra Nitrogen in the soil where the drain fields are located. Their land was high enough they built a basement even though waterfront lot. Later they installed rip rap along the water and a pier and dock. They built a green house to grow their vegetables plus had a big garden and many fruit trees and berry bushes. Y'all remind me how I was raised to have a close family and learn to live within our means and to enjoy the outdoors and the land and so much more 😀 Oh by the way my parents planted bushes around their wells in the front yard and around the clean out for the septic tank in the backyard. The reason they were required to install a 1500 gallon septic tank was based on how many bathrooms and bedrooms (their house has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms)

Hi Sam and Angela Wow As mentioned, that's a huge septic system. When my sister, who lives in Tennessee, did hers 40+ yrs ago, you just dug a hole near an area that went down hill into the woods. You could use anything for a tank. A 50 gallon rust proof drum if it worked for you. The woods was the leach field. This is if you were fancy and had inside bathroom facilities. Most people in the area had that little shed 100 feet from the house. But times change. Even though we didn't get to see you do your magic so we could laugh throughout the video. Having the outtakes or bloopers at the end still had me laughing 😂🤣 until a cried. They always do. Thanks for taking us back to that moment and showing us the install. As always wishing you the best. Can't wait to see the next video. Stay safe

You may be on the shorter side but you make up for it in the knowledge of what you are doing and the skill that you displayed

Had a sand mound system with the same tank/alarm system on our 1 acre plot in King County Washington. When our mound failed 10 years ago due to excessive ground water getting into the tanks and pumping continuously (lots of rain here), it cost 12K for the repairs at that time. The repaired system required a dose timer in addition to the alarm to prevent continuous pumping like before. Dreaded the alarm going off in the middle of the night (never during the day). Love the aerial views and appreciate the working together spirit!

Wow! Great job in sharing and explaining this entire septic system story from its absolute start months ago up to its ultimate completion 'today'! No doubt you two will figure out a way to camouflage the alarm post - maybe a couple/three vine/ivy covered trellises around it or even maybe a 'yard art' wall. Really enjoy and appreciate watching all your thoughtful efforts (and the fun bloopers!) in relocating and developing your new property, a/k/a 'home'.

have mercy!!!! that is a lot of hose!!!

Fantastic visuals on the process. The aerial view and music were great. Will this help your hay field? It looks like it is all you will ever need in the septic world. Thanks for taking us along. Bless you all.

So glad that's all over with . Can't wait to see you moved in .

Now that's a septic system! They did a nice job! Thank God they didn't hit rock! Love watching you build your homestead!

That is a very bizarre drain field. I've never seen anything like that. It takes up so much space. Is this style of drainfield okay to drive over? I'm wondering, why couldn't the drainfield be over where the master bathroom is, over where it looks like the land slopes downward and then not have to do a pump system?

Angela, you can just buy or build a wishing well to put on top and around the block lid and put some flowers around it. You will also have to do some research on driving (with tractors/trucks and doombuggies) overthe septic tank lines/areas, especially closer to the driveway.

Glad you could keep your home where you want it but sorry you had to spend more money because of it. I love hearing all the birds!💕

Good video good to see y'all

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and putting in your pump system for sewage
