Note to self: get me a woman who is willing to smash a mouse with a shovel.

Hey Cody and Mrs. W.... now you're talking my language. I really enjoyed your yard hydrant installations at the barn and the garden. A couple of things I wanted to bring up. I spent twenty five years plumbing. I was probably one of the last generations of plumbers that actually was an apprentice to my father that spent over forty years in the trade. My son is now a plumber himself. First, the problem of pipe corrosion and eventual failure on the riser to your yard hydrant is typical. Electrolysis is most likely the culprit, as you have two dissimilar metals connected to each other (in your case the the galvanized and the brass). You are correct, the galvanized will most likely outlast the black iron pipe. I might suggest that you throw a bit of gravel in around the base of the hydrant to allow the drain hole to be free and clear of mud, clay etc. so that it actually will drain out when the hydrant is not in use. Second, it never hurts to put in a post to secure the hydrant to. I can only imagine that you sometimes have long sections of hose connected to your hydrants on the homestead at one time or another. When you are trying to pull a kink out of a long hose filled with water, you might not believe the amount of force you put on the 3/4" riser (ESPECIALLY the new hydrant in the garden, as it is only connected to 3/4" PVC. I have repaired or replace dozens of them that have broke off at the thread for just that reason. Third, great lesson with the correct way to put PVC pipe together, i.e. Primer/cleaner AND cement. It is a two part process and the combination of the two actually melts the surface of the pipe and the fitting together. Though you can get clear primer (not allowed in some states) the reason that the primer is purple is so the plumbing inspector can see that the two part process has been completed. Lastly, you are a fortunate man, Mrs. W is a fortunate women and your son is a fortunate young man. It seems that more and more families today can not do things for themselves. It seems that many husbands and wives are not best friend anymore. It seems that people have forgotten the importance of God in their lives and it seems that many (too many) young people today don't even know how to put air in their bicycle tire. Thank you for sharing your love for God, your family and your homestead with us.

I'm 17 years old and 6'4". Don't even get me started on school desks... I'm right there with you Cody!

im a more recent subscriber, and i just want to say that your content is very wholesome and inspiring!

you've done it right from the very beginning cody .... keep it up and God bless you and your family ................. sooooo many have no clue as to what you've done

Always put the pipe dope onto the male side

When I first subscribed I didn't see much of Mrs. W. As time went on she had an occasional appearance. Like you said Cody she is always upbeat and the banter between you and her makes me laugh. What a beautiful relationship you two have and it really comes through. Yours is truly a family channel and I am grateful for your willingness to share so many aspects of your family life.

As somebody who does a great deal of plumbing, I couldn't help but chuckle when she put the glue on the inside of the pipe. Haha

I'm so happy for the two of you. You all make me smile

Your are blessed. I almost cry when I see you and your family working together. Thank you for sharing the love and joy

I really enjoy watching the two of you work together. Your love for one another is heartwarming!

You two make a good team. It's fun watching you work together. My dad was an automatic fire sprinkler fitter for 25 plus years. We did many projects together, much like your's. We installed garden hydrants on the old homestead in the early 90's, and he helped me with my house in the late 90's. I love those garden hydrants. I anchored mine to the concrete foundation with a pipe clamp and all-thread. In the garden I drove down deep a one inch pipe about a foot away, and clamped them together near the top with a piece of strut.

Love the Scripture...love the high view of marriage...and the shovel to the mouse...o my...fantastic!

You in a chair, the missus putting in the PVC, and the dogs lounging around, That is a helpmate! She does good plumbing, and rakes trenches to perfection. You are a LUCKY man, my friend! Great video, especially when Heartracer chaired up and supervised!

What you said about your wife toward the end of this video was so heartwarming to hear. The life you have for each other is great to hear. Thank you Cody.

Thank you for sharing so many wonderful family moments!

How awesome it is to see the two of you working so closely together and so well. What a blessing.

Thank you, always a pleasure watching.....But mostly I was IMPRESSED with how quickly the dog jumped in the trench and grabbed the mouse!

Much joy and pleasure to see you guys. In your words, fizzy! Thanks for sharing.

Love seeing you two work together

Love seeing the two of you work together, always laughing and smiling.

These are always my favorite videos - You, Mrs. Wranglerstar, out working together :)

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. W. for sharing your faith and love and experiences.

Cody, thanks for speaking publicly of you wife the way you do. It's refreshing to hear others speak well of their spouses in this world where it's fashionable to be an ass.

So nice to see couples working together and making things work. Very refreshing.

I love the banter, how you try to talk trash, how she just laughs at you for it. I loved how the dog knew to get the mouse. (My dog wouldn't have had a clue.) Mrs. W finishing off the mouse compassionately with the shovel... PANG! The bread trick. How you appreciate each other... MORE, MORE!

The love that you two share is very inspiring.

True, you tend to take loved ones for granted and when they are gone, you cant tell or show them how much you love them, make them hapoy, as that makes you happy too❤

The relationship Mr. and Mrs. Wranglerstar have is the type I strive to have one day. Watching them in videos together and with the family is always enjoyable :)

Thanks as always Wranglerstar!

You know Cody! When I watch these videos I forget all about life and being lonely! I can smell the fresh air there and feel the energy! God bless you

I'm so glad these little chats at the end of the videos are back

Sweet to watch the two of you work together and teach her as you go! Jen

some people don't like the idea but a half dozen chickens roaming the yard really knock down the ticks very well. and some advantix for the pets helps too.

Love your closing thoughts. I agree totally. I have 31 years with a wonderful helpmate.

You truly are a fortunate man, Cody. God bless you both, Philia

I'm not hands on guy and don't know much about homesteading, there is something about your videos that leaves me glued to the screen. Will subscribe and i hope you will continue to make a lot more, you are lucky to have such nice family.

These are my favorite videos, You and Mrs. W, working together. Keep it up! Thank You..

the working relationship between Cody and Mrs. Wranglerstar is amazing.. such good people.. you can just tell...

You're either great actors or great couple. You are both so lucky to have each other.

I laughed out loud. I needed it today. Mrs Wranglerstar, you are fantastic.

I wasn't up to date up your videos for a couple weeks. First video I watched after coming back to your channel. This really reminds me of why I subscribed; for the good wholesome values and to witness the love that you share for your family and your livelihood. Your videos inspire me to finish my college career and start building a legacy that one day I may be able to leave for my offspring. Thank you.

Cody you are very lucky to have your life helper with you.' I lost my wife of 49 years about a year ago and still miss her terribly!

So true about a quality help-mate. You are a blessed, as many of us are. Realizing you are blessed is the mark of a mature man. Watching your interactions is fun because you two are so calm and relaxed. Your mouse incident reminded of putting up some window trim with my dad. I was on a ladder with hammer in hand and took a quick tap at a spider that was on the siding of the house. It darted into a knot hole of the trim around the nearest window, causing a wasp that was inside to immediately fly out and tag me on the finger. It happened so fast I didn't realize it was a wasp and not a spider, so I jump off the ladder (about four feet) backwards thinking I was about to deal with a painful spider bite. lol. It swelled a bit but my dad and I had a laugh and I didn't try to hammer any more spiders. Thanks for your videos.

This vlog style of video is fun to watch too!!! Thanks wranglerstar family!

Really enjoyed the video and I especially enjoy your voice postludes. I find them inspiring and grounding. I know that a lot of work and energy go into creating the videos but the longer the videos the more interesting I find them. great job Cody, keep up the good work.

really liked the "wish you were here" intro ! and the adoration and appreciation for your wife shows you obviously have "manly manners"

First time I've ever been worried 1 of your titles was click bait. It wasn't and I was entertained. Love getting to see the teamwork as always and the fun.

really excited for the next series of videos!

Nothing but respect for Mrs. W. Wishing you guys many blessings.

Thank you Cody for the gentle reminder to always be watching our spouse. We should always be a student of them.

I love watching you two you seem so happy

Thank you so much - truly inspirational and what a pleasure to watch a couple so in love. Keep on with your video productions - they are so enjoyable.

This kind of your videos are what i like the most, to see, the love you 2 have for each other and the homesteading aspekt off it, to quote you cody " it gives me the fizz"

This was a great video, I enjoy the teachings at the end of the video. Glad to see work in the garden and ask the fun you have doing it. Have a great day!

Good to see that there is more to your homestead than sawing timbers and look forward to seeing more from the garden side of things. Maybe Mrs W should have her own spot as well!

You truly get it!!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!

I really enjoy watching the videos of the two of you working on projects together. I learn something (actually, quite a lot) from each and every one of of your videos. Thank you. I've run a bunch of pvc while hard plumbing my round above ground pool and wanted to install a second return on the far side of the pool. Not wanting to have several 45° angles because angles slow the water flow, I learned to bend the pvc to conform to the bend of my pool. It worked like a charm!

LOL. Mrs W cleaned and glued the PVC on the inside of the pipe lol none the less I commend her on getting it done!

Lovely video showing your love to each other and cozy atmosphere. I like it, thank you!

Keep up the inspirational work. I love you folks!

Absolutely love watching you guys. All the way from Alberta Canada. You're an inspiration. Don't let the internet trolls get you down!

Nice to see you working together on the garden project.

Nice Video! So relaxing and therapeutic. Can't wait to see those garden project videos.

Love you guys !!!

It is such an inspiration to watch a healthy, loving, respectful, relationship in the world today. Your documenting and showing people not only what a family can be but what it should be is refreshing and is sadly an anomaly in our day and age. God bless you, your beautiful family, and your divinely inspired channel.

Nice touch at the end .Behind every great man..... as they say.ls so true.

I just love heartracer!!! Funny little dog!! Can't wait for the garden videos!! Love anything with Mrs. W in the video. What a sweet nice lady!!

I don’t understand how KZfaq believes this channel isn’t family friendly. This a wholesome channel filled with wisdom, respect, hard work, discipline, faith, and family. Now if that doesn’t fit with family friendly criteria I’m afraid I don’t know what does.. IMO

the best marriages last because the couple is able to work on something together. you guys are so cute together.

Hey Mrs. W, my 14 year old son was just walking through talking to me while he's cooking supper and I'm catching 5 minutes of rest this evening and watching you guys' video and he says 'Wow! She looks younger there!' Living up there with Cody must be good for the health! Have a blessed day!

Every spring you usually have a ram pump repair series, any plans for that in the future. Haven't had a manly manners in a while either. You and Mrs. W bring such smile to my face. God bless you both.

Great videos and the narrative at the end, caps it off beautifully.

Thank you for your words in regards to this person with the hangup !!

love the john deere ad before the yanmar video lol

Great to watch, Cody and Mrs W. Love your channel.

thank you two for all the wonderful content you put out. It is great to see a good relationship between a married couple after the week ive had.

Loved how Mrs. W dispatched the mouse with a shovel while you were at a safe distance.

I had an especially difficult day. I was looking forward to viewing a few WS videos. Y'all never let me down. I fell off my chair, I'm still laughing.

I enjoyed this video and the comradery you and your wife share. I used to own a few backhoes years ago and was surprised to see that you only bury your line 2 -3 feet deep .... but I suppose that it is only a summer line to the garden. I'm not sure where you live but I live in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada. All my water lines are buried 8 feet or more depending if it was buried under a driveway or road ... because the frost was driven even deeper on a travelled roadway. I am a 62 year old Christian man and would like to thank you, your wife and Brian for taking the time to make these videos. I really wish I had half the energy you have. Keep up the spectacular work WranglerStar ! 🕆

thank you for all you do

Another great Wrangerstar video..I really appreciate the way you and Mrs. W. work together. The love you share is quite noticeable. God bless you both and have a wondeful evening.

This is great! Your family is awesome

My husband loves loves loves your channel, you've inspired him physically, mentally and spiritually. Keep living the "Good" life with Mrs W and your boy. We are honored to be running this race of life along with you. P.S. so of course I have truly enjoyed your channel too, we wake up Saturday mornings every now and again and catch a few videos while sipping on coffee and it gets us excited to get up and get going in our own yard/home. Carry On!

On our ranch we have dozens of very old Hydrants that still works perfectly and not only do they look so much better than the new ones but also they are a lifesaver in Minnesota winters for the cattle

Another very nice video..... was fun to watch ..And A blind man could tell .just how much you two love each other ...it' shows, You Are a very lucky man ..Don't ever take her for granted ..I know you won't ...

Cody you have a good helper their, you are truly blessed

Lovin that 'Wish You Were Here' on the banjo

Very enjoyable, as always. Thank you!!

love the video - looking forward to the few vidoes

I love watching Mrs W get out and learn these things. I learned how to operate a backhoe, bobcat and several other nice equipment when I lived in Alaska. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to fix things the way you would like them or need them. Lol and flexing you muscles. Lol I think God gave us both man and woman hands to get (and feet if you like) dirty, and I do. I love working the garden, canning, quilting and the list goes on. Thanks so much for your videos. God Bless

thank you for the inspiration and the word . my family really enjoy your vlogs if your ever near Michigan stop by for dinner.

I love the videos with Mrs W. I look forward to the garden videos.

Love these semi vintage videos. 💯

So good to see you two working together. Never a doubt about the love you two have for each other! Hope your cheeks hurt for all times. :0)

Thanks Cody. I learned something today. The value of a yard hydrant.

Best wrangler star video in a while, besides yesterday's video, that was good one, keep up the good work Cody and mrs. wranglerstar!

That is an amazing dog. Responsive and alert. An extra treat tonight.

Thanks for another great video.

I like how you left in the mouse killing part. its hard to believe that I was half expecting a cut away. So many creators cut out the most mild of situations as to protect people from life. Anyways, great video!
