YOUNG MEN LISTEN! This guy is good and bad. His advice when it comes to being self-sufficient is great. I respect him and have no hate or ill will towards him but the religious anti women shit is garbage.
According to you, of course, they can vote. They just can't invent things or hammer a nail or be the head of a household.
I think you have silly views about women and religion. I really appreciate your work as a self made man. I just disagree with some shit you say. Your a great guy but I hate some of your conspiracy bullshit.
No disrespect. Life is to short to hate people. God bless you man.
@@kekedoo “The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.” - Patrick Henry
“The fundamental defect of the female character is a lack of a sense of justice. This originates first and foremost in their want of rationality and capacity for reflexion but it is strengthened by the fact that, as the weaker sex, they are driven to rely not on force but on cunning: hence their instinctive subtlety and their ineradicable tendency to tell lies: for, as nature has equipped the lion with claws and teeth, the elephant with tusks, the wild boar with fangs, the bull with horns and the cuttlefish with ink, so it has equipped woman with the power of dissimulation as her means of attack and defence, and has transformed into this gift all the strength it has bestowed on man in the form of physical strength and the power of reasoning. Dissimulation is thus inborn in her and consequently to be found in the stupid woman almost as often as in the clever one. To make use of it at every opportunity is as natural to her as it is for an animal to employ its means of defence whenever it is attacked, and when she does so she feels that to some extent she is only exercising her rights. A completely truthful woman who does not practice dissimulation is perhaps an impossibility, which is why women see through the dissimulation of others so easily it is inadvisable to attempt it with them. - But this fundamental defect which I have said they possess, together with all that is associated with it, gives rise to falsity, unfaithfulness, treachery, ingratitude, etc. Women are guilty of perjury far more often than men. It is questionable whether they ought to be allowed to take an oath at all.” - philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer
Young men don’t listen. Religion and masculinity is the way
IBEW Electrician 21 years old. I’ve been watching you for years now sir and I mean years, You’ve taught me so much to being a man in this world and I thank you for that sir.
Awesome…
You got work wherever your at? By me they try to recruit but they don’t have work for guys. Been working around salt guys. I e union guys doing non union work. 😮
@@JFEnterprize I’m in the local for Albany, NY, Up here we have work all year round but it does slow around the winter. Being im in New York almost all the commercial jobs and every industrial goes to our union contractors for electrical the other trades can be non union unless there sprinkler fitters and sometimes mechanical.
Ok drill rapper LOL
@@AnonymousGameWarden So we all have to enjoy the same music, Grow up my friend.
When you showed the closeup of the electrician's trash the first time and played the horror music, I just about fell off my chair laughing. 😂
Yea a lot of guys are sloppy. Many will use a bucket to sit and do receptacles but apparently I’m one of a few that use that bucket for trash like the little wire skins when prepping the receptacle. Not everyone adheres to leave it better than you found it. 😢
This is the kind of content i enjoy. I wander away when you do things with red hats and rich stuff. But this content brings me back in. I im glad for you that you found success. Years of hard work. Just leads to content im disconnected from
Glad you like them!
Funny I was just starting to learn about timber framing, then this series popped up
I enjoy the red hats too
Suppose it depends what you class as rich stuff. If you mean the clothing that costs a couple of hundred quid, then it's all relative. Buy one item that'll last 20 years or buy multiple cheaper versions over the same time frame that will cost the same, if not more, than the one expensive piece.
@nothing0062 dirt bikes and all the new toys. There is nothing wrong with it all. I just have no interest. I just enjoy the hands on homesteading activities. That's what I'm doing so that's where my interest is right now. A person's interests float around. I don't fault him for having several interests. They just don't all hit home for me
glad to see you including the interactions with the electrician. seems like a nice bunch of guys
Proho broho is definitely on the spectrum. Eccentricity, fathomable.
Props to that electrician to keeping a straight face while Cody is wearing that hat
Love the channel, 29 years in the water world, compression fittings and PE pipe are the way to go. If I could suggest a few things, run a tracer wire on the pipe and blue foil tape 12" over the pipe on your first lift of backfill. Keep future excavations from hitting your pipe, landmarks move and memories fade.
Do you know what type of fittings he is using. I can only find plastic compression fittings for poly
@@jgres85 Hi they look like they may be from the Ford meter company, when I was working, we only used those made by the Mueller Brass company(I think the two are now owned by the same corp.). These fitting won't be found at big box stores, commercial plumbing supply houses that specializes in municipal and commercial plumbing. They are not cheap, but bullet proof. Similar fittings are available from overseas manufacturing, but quality control was a big issue and possible lead content.
The sound effects for the trash and follows up it's in their nature. 😂 Had a Taryl fixes all feel. Made me smile
"It's not my emergency "
I was a electrical General Foreman for years on multi million dollar industrial sites.
I had a poster on the outside of my office door that basically said
Lack of proper planning on your part. In no way constitutes an EMERGENCY on my part.
Me and my 3 year old son love watching this series
15 year plumber here. Love your work. Its impeccable. Use Teflon on your joints for pressurized water Cody! Makes my blood curl lol other than that keep on keeping on. I generally use teflon then dope for added security. Never had a leak at a threaded joint since I’ve started practicing that method
Got it,
Plumber in nz here and we use dressed hemp on brass fitting with a graphite grease or modern version of that. PTFE on plastic fittings only as I don’t trust it. We use paste on gas fittings only. Also if you make sure you get the first thread and even put a slight bit on the female first thread it will help drag the paste into the joint. Nice work though!
I love how Cody just cant himself but get a bit of tool envy when working with the pros. I do it too!
When it comes to utility knives, the Milwaukee Fastback with nut driver is king. It is handy.
Yeah and you don't need a holster for it. As a roofer any non retractable knife would just end up cutting me with that blade always exposed. Also, while I don't use it roofing, the fastback is probably my most used EDC tool.
Turing out great as always. Excellent work!
Don't forget to run a tracer wire with the water pipe!
Interesting! When I was younger and working in construction my first time helping an electrician I asked him how he was going to drive in that eight foot ground rod. He said "With a coke bottle." And durn if he didn't. I always enjoy your videos, Cody, and now that I am 80 years old I enjoy watching how the "young guys" do the same jobs, but with much more ease. Keep them coming.
I genuinely look forward to every video you release. Thank you
Have 5 of these at the farm. Nice to be able to lock it if needed and as you mentioned, no need to cover during freezing temps.
Good to see friend!
Don’t forget to put gravel around your frost free hydrant to help with drainage and keep roots from clogging the weep hole
That was very respectful when you asked to use another man's tool before touching it. I grew up with that as a serious value/rule that could be extremely offensive if the line is crossed. People I work around think I'm a lunatic because I take that soo seriously.
Really enjoying this series. I've been laid up at home with an injury for the last 6 weeks. This has been a good outlet for some of my cabin fever.
Keep em coming
If I had the money I would absolutely support your channel, but medical bills for my wife and daughter keep me from it. Love you channel and content.
He'll take your money he doesn't care...he's a wrinkled star...
Happy Sabbath to you as well, Cody!
Awesome!!
This is great info. Brother... also with the polyethylene remember you can fuse that pipe as well
Cody, you're a great American 🇺🇸
Does rattle lol.... thanks as always Sir. Your content is my fav... nothing even close
I haven't seen your vids in awhile, you're looking good, Cody! I love your hat!
Happy Sabbath to your family!
Great advice at the end, I’d much rather work to live than live to work.
I haven't watched a Cody video in 2.5 years, is this Cody 2.0? interesting evolution. glad your still making videos my man.
I have that exact same Wilton vise! I also have a 6 inch Wilton tradesmen vise. They're second to none.
When I saw that brass tee, it brought to mind the ram pump.
I felt personally attacked by the vice comment, I was ready to brush it off until you said drywall screws 😂 have you been looking in my shop?
I've seen enough of his plumbing. If you plumb like him...your asking for it. If any doubts, call a licensed plumber.
If you’re such an expert you should teach people to do better rather than brow beat him. Very immature and a sign you’re not a leader.
Awesome Brother 💪🏾
Cody having a tourers outbreak? I don't believe it. Looking good Cody!
Pex cutters work great on that CTS pipe my friend that’s what we southern boys use
This is the type of content I miss thank you.
Hey, would love if you could go into as much detail as you can while doing these videos. People really do learn from videos like this including myself.
There's only one problem...
My vice is on the corner of my shabby bench. But! Is mounted with bolts,washers,nuts.
Nice to see a Wilton vise in use... not many around. Mine is made to hold the bar studs of a chainsaw. Makes working a saw easy, start it on the bench.. have only see one other like it.
Good choice sir!
Rotary Hammer Drill. 2 x 8' copper 1/2" rods for the ground... killed a Dewalt, the big one and was no challenge for the Makita! Sorry, I normally buy USA made... by the Makita.
They did all that.. cost?
I did mine myself, as Eastcoast Men do.
Absolutely work to live not live to work
Storms a brewing with the Lenticular cloud over Mt. Fuji.
Jeriah sounds like the ultimate assistant.
Correct term is man servant 😆
My brother is keeping Torah! Praise Yah and Shabbat Shalom.
Love these vintage Wranglerstar videos. For me personally: they could be longer, because I really enjoy tagging along on all your projects, Cody!
Good to know!
I have no doubt I've done all of what your doing in this video because I am older than you are. Never have I seen anyone including plumbers put pipe dope on anything other than plastic, metals are where you use tape. Tape and pipe dope both used together your the first person I have seen doing it this way.
Glad to see you put a pad under the 90 degree elbow that's something people forget to do. Should have used the WOODFORD Y34 frost free hydrant been around since the 30s that's all you'll find on farms here in Iowa.
Pretty cool video
keep up the good work love the content tip knipex pliers wrench buy the big one 400mm!
I Enjoy this style of content
Are you placing metal posts to protect the electrical box from cars crashing into it? Feels like its too close to the road.
I like when you do these practical kind of videos! How's your sobriety journey coming along? You look healthy and smart so I assume it is going well. I'd love to get an update on that.
The power so close to the road is giving me anxiety but in PRO-HO WE TRUST
All the best 🇬🇧.
electrician here. I always clean up and make my guys do it too. and all our trucks have battery shop vacs.
I found him! 🦄
That's great to have 1 inch main. Plenty of volume.
Lookin good. Only thing I'd do on that water line, is add a 14 awg wire with the pipe, so it can be toned out for locating.
I want that hat! My goal is to learn something new every day and today I learned why the hydrants dont freeze! 😁
In doing electrical work, with my father, we always clean up after!
ThankQ
Pro tip on the pipe dope Cody..put it on the female threads in the tee and it will be much cleaner when you are finished
Not using East Coast man's gloves you got the cuts on both thumbs. They burn 😂 Love the series and the utility station is looking flawless
A hand held PVC cutter works well on poly pipe and can also be used in tight spaces as needed.
That's a nice pipe wrench
A PROHO always using teflon tape and pipe dope.
Teflon tape then pipe dope. For water you should use Teflon pipe dope also. Looks like that may be the old blue magic, now they call it true blue. That stuff will not wash off clothing. And it's usually used for hi temperatures like for boiler dope. Said the Plumber of 24 yrs.. I too am a skilled tradesman.. Love y'all at Wrangle star central..
Hi Wrangler, love this series of vids. I would like to respond to your final comment about the goal of life being to "have as much of your own time to yourself to do with what you want." There are some different ways to interpret this, but the way you said it sounds self-centered. I would like to say that my goal as a Christian is to use as much of my time as possible serving God and others because I need to prioritize that in order to be less selfish, so that I can work toward the ultimate goal of salvation, which ain't gonna happen if I am just off doing my own thing on my own time.
Just in time! My feet are up😊👍🏻
I just switched to Olfa 1” utility knives. No blade swapping. Just break off the end to get a fresh blade.
Tip: If you’ve got some armour stone, put a few around the power stand for protection from potential road traffic ditching.
If we protect things from road traffic, how are we supposed to get new things every couple of years?
I watched a neighbor turn around in my driveway last summer and back right over my mailbox. 😳
Now I can upgrade to a mail palace!
I actually loath compression fittings running up to the shut off valve. So personally, and this is probably just me. I like to run all metal. I do a 1 inch connector that converts to a 2 inch, with a 2 inch foot long pipe that runs to a T connection, with 2 additional 2 inch 1 foot pipes. The top pipe is capped and the other has a 2 inch shut off with a 2 inch to 1 inch pex converter. I solder all of my metal connections minus the cap and bury this below the front line. Then I run pex to wherever it's needed.
You might be wondering "why?" And the reason is simple. That metal piece will for the most part stay put and never move. Pex is probably one of the most annoying types of lines you can put down. The plastic cracks bends and shifts all over the place. Another problem is crimping especially if you have heavy machinery or cattle and horses. All it takes is a few heavy rains and that line floats up just enough that the weight of a horse can crush and crimp the line. Then you will have to dig it up, cut the line, put a male to male in and pressure fit the line again. Now imagine that happens next to the main and you have half a mile of pex pipe with dirty water... This is why I build these T sections the way I do. I put one next to the main and another near the house. This way when the pex busts or crimps (it will) you can pop the cap and flush the line with ease.
I was just looking at your waterline ditch and thinking is that deep enough for the cold winters you guys have out there and I was thinking about my waterline I installed back in 1995… I live in north west Georgia and my waterline is 500 feet of 1 inch pvc and I dug it 3 feet deep…. Do you reckon mine is deep enough… hahaha
Idea - put yard hydrants behind the regulator (if you got one) you will love the volume and pressure
Just ordered an Orcon utility knife at this very moment on your recommendation.
Another benefit of a 1" feed is for flush valve toilets if you decide to install one. They require a substantial amount of water volume, don't ask me why I know.
Check out the 12v compact milwaukee bandsaw. I use mine almost daily
It's a spigot, not a spikit LOL. Anyway, the Orcon does not have a peg hole. All my tools hang on pegboard above my workbench. Happy 7th day.
I've never pronounced the g in that word or heard it pronounced that way. Ohio here. 🤷🏼♂️
@@sociopathmercenary Hicks?
I hope the modern blue collar man appreciated the hat assortment of PROhO
I’ve really liked the Stanley utility knives or the flip out one by millwaukee but I think they are all about the same lol
How do you keep track of your buried water pipe’s schematics?
Do you draw a map?
The horror movie track at 5:42 had me lafao😅😅
Burry a 2 by 4 and tie it to the hydrent line wiill give support mid way
Time is the goal!
hi cody, i collect utility knives. before 11 sept 2001 i carried a utility knife with me everywhere. after 11 sept i can't. i was flying all the time and i needed to carry my knife so what i did was to have a new blade at end of my destination. my favorite knife was a black stanley 10-999. i had been using that knife for just about everything i needed a knife for. after 11 sept 01 i bought a second stanley, yellow. i didn't like it as much as my black stanley. so i bought a milwaukee fastback. it's a folding utility knife. it's the one that i use all the time now. yours seems nice but you can't protect yourself from that blade without removing the blade. the two stanley blades retract into the body of the knife when your not using the blade. the milwaukee blade folds into the body. it a very nice utility knife. i got a few that have a plastic cover that slides on over the blade then you have to keep track of that piece. it's so much easier to have the blade retract into the body or the blades folds into the body. i paranoid of getting cut by that utility blade. when i was in high school my dad was cutting carpet and he nicked his finger and he bleed like a stabed hog. just be careful.
Have you ever tried the small folding gerber utility knife. About 1/4” thick. It’s not for anything heavy duty. I almost daily edc it for work. Have the yellow retractable Stanley’s for heavier duty cuts.
@@-Kreger-
Hi kreger, ive never seen a Gerber utility knife. I'll have to look for it thanks.
@@steveherring8494 the model is EAB Lite.
@@-Kreger-
Thanks, 👌
Happy sabbath beloved
Using true blue pipe dope… that’s never coming apart.
With your gravity water flow, you must not have much pressure on your system. For example, other cities have tried to use plastic water mains/branches, but water hammers and pump pressures blew up the plastic, and they went back to metal water mains/branches. At least the third gen of plastic (pex) is inside homes now because the previous gens have failed. Copper still continues to 'just work'.
I carry a 5 gallon bucket for parts and tape etc when I’m changing motors or doing an install. I toss my trash in there as I go and clean it out when I get back to the shop. Trying to get the apprentices on to the idea
Should've gone cold expansion. I make Uponor pipe and recommend it.
Mr W, is that portaband not the same unit you’ve got setup with the swag off-road bench top bandsaw setup?
FNA, exactly what im working for, have most of may to fortify the land, fully embrace being away from the general public!!
A minor bit of nervousness seeing you that brandish that knife so close and quickly past the flex hose.
Goodness, men have gotten soft, Imaging admitting to this publicly, shake yourself, brother,
LOL
No, I just meant you don't want any latent microleaks that won't be evident in that final leak test you're sure to do.
mmmmmmm pipe dope!
Stay Skookum 👍🏿
Shabbat Shalom as well my friend!
