Not really a bad idea. He could easily incorporate tech into that. Like a raspberry pi irrigation system or something. I know there are plenty of videos like that, but it’s just an idea.

As an IT person who did something similar about 20 years ago, here are some things that you may someday regret. 1. Installing a gate valve rather than a 90 degree ball valve for your spigot. 2. Not putting in a shutoff valve at the beginning of the spigot pipe run. 3. Not putting the PVC pipe run about 1 foot deeper into the ground. 4. If you have had past problems with water pooling on your patio, not putting in a drainage pipe system to route water out of the depressions you have made. Best of luck with your project and I hope it all works and you have no future problems.
@prpunk7873 күн бұрын
#4 yeah that was my though, you can pool the water away from the house but its gonna sit on the yard, is he trying to build a pond? 😂. " it rained and now the water is running away from the patio yay!" now theres a pond in the bak yard!!

Just because it's not the usual tech stuff, doesn't mean these type videos aren't enjoyable to watch also. If I need a dose of tech there's other channels that'll give it to me, but it's nice to get away from the monotony once in a while and do something different. Hannah is absolutely adorable and so full of energy, she makes the videos fun also.

Wow, it's not surprising nothing was growing there. That, um, "soil" you dug up was rather grey and not even slightly fertile! But yeah, some fresh compost will work wonders. It's also good you never really get frost in SC cos that pipework has a LOT of potential points of failure! 😬 Looking much better already, though! 🙂

Adding a simple French Drain (or trench drain, right next to the patio slab) is so much easier. . Just find the low spot, dig a hole, toss an 8x8 box in and run some corrugated line to the wall, switch to perforated wherever you want it to drain...

when planting trees, dig the whole as a square. the roots push through the corners much easier than trying to push through a round shaped hole, especially if the soil is more compacted.

Paul! Love your videos. If you're into gardening you will no doubt enjoy learning about soil science! Incorporating some beneficial microbes/fungi (such as mycorrhizae - a greek word meaning "little foot") at this point in growing a new lawn would be absolutely stellar! It would give them time to incorporate deep into the soil and form beneficial relationships with the roots of your new grass and plants :) They also transfer water and nutrients that plants ask for with chemical signals. They are available from local hydroponic and gardening supply stores. Enjoy your new lawn!

July 14, 2024 - I'm just amazed that Paul took on this project. I guess this video is an example of how we like to watch other people work at stuff we don't do. In my native New York City, it was very common for me to stop and look through the cutout "windows" the construction crews put in the sidewalk wooden construction barriers, and watched the work that was going on. A lot of people often stopped and looked. Great video and I'm sure that Paul and his family have a great feeling of accomplishment. They deserve it. 👍👍😊

I find it highly entertaining watching people do irrigation lines in places that do not have winter. As a Canadian, I would never go that shallow - mother nature would shred those lines with the first freeze/thaw cycle. The ground where I live freezes down below three feet of depth so your irrigation needs to be below that. And even then, your sprinkler heads are gonna get fucked with because they are at the surface.

Thank you for sharing this with us! I am curious to see what the end product will look like. Back in the 90s, I built 6-square-foot gardening boxes for my mother-in-law in which she grew vegetables galore. In one box I grew scorching Indonesian peppers from seeds my Uncle brought back from Indonesia. She grew so much tomatoes that she couldn't keep up eating them so, I picked most of them, all warm to the touch due to the desert heat, and made fresh tomato soup out of it.

Just a lil FYI Paul.... you REALLY need to get a CAP for the other pipe next to the newly installed spigot. Because the ball valve is facing UP dirty and crud will get in there and jam in between the seals and metal and it will leak and you'll have to replace it... You're actually better off having that valve horizontal instead of vertical like you have it just so you don't have to worry about a cap and losing the cap... and I know you'll probably say that turning it on will just flush out the dirt and sand... but if the sand is in there and you turn it on THAT is when the ball valve would get jammed with the sand... when you turn it on to clean it out.... all it takes is one grain of sand to get in there for it to start degrading... it could happen the first time... it could never happen... one never knows these things lol .... :)

You could do with a pergola to grown onto to offer some cooling outdoor shade. You can buy brackets and assemble them easily. All you need is a saw, spanner, tape measure and a level. Spigots with ceramic valve and 90 lever are much easier on the hands.

good luck on getting any thing to grow on it, all you did was remove the grass and left the bad dirt that the grass didn't want to grow on in the first place, I've done this so many times I lost count. You should have gone deeper with the tractor and remove, take out and hauled off 6" to 1' down and bring in clean dirt to level, get rid of all the clay with clean soil. this will keep from having patches where grass will not grow. Now you may find out having to dump an extra clean dirt on what you didn't want but needed to revove or you can break it all up then rototill clean dirt in

Paul... Next time you are going to paint with a roller, go to a paint store and get a 5 gal. paint bucket and a roller screen, and you will make your life so much easier when painting. If you don't know how to use it ask around. Any friend that has ever been a painter will show you how to use it to save a ton of time and effort, especially on large areas like that back wall. You also may want to consider spray painting. I always roll after spraying as it helps with penetration and adhesion. I prefer airless sprayers, but some like compressed air sprayers, which I find far messier and harder to maintain.
