The tank should have a cover to prevent the water from getting green
One of your 5 a day that green stuff
What tank? You mean the well
Yes any pond enthusiast will tell you that sitting water + sunlight = algae/bacteria. Just slap a hinged plastic or wood lid on it so you can open when it rains or need to do work. Keep up the good work! Love the videos
Yay! Water on the land! Hard work pays off. Best to be a bit frugal with your water though
If you added a battery, a small solar panel ,pressure switch and water pump you might not need to use the petrol water pump .
A normal lead acid battery and small solar panel to charge it would be enough power for a decent sized water pump .A water pressure switch would turn on the water pump as soon as you opened a tap .
Great tip and something we defo looking to add
Bluetti solar generator and foldebull solar panels will do the trick and no loud noise anymore.
Congratulations on getting the water pump and pipes running, I thought the pipe would be buried deeper to prevent accidentally cutting it when planting in the future.
Or freezing.
Great job guys. Might be a good idea to put up some markers so you know where the pipe is buried in the future. 🙂
Lovely video guys ❤️, that water pipe will need to be 400mm deep at least if you don't want warm water in the summer, just saying, 😉 but good work getting some infrastructure done
I am so glad you both are sensible and have fun! Your kids will scream with laughter watching these videos.
Work without play is not good. Glad to see you two have fun.
I’m 83 year old widow. You two delight my soul. The fun you have overcomes the disappointment’s. I’m so proud of you .❤
Hey Rachel what a beautiful comment. So true ❤❤
What a lovely thing to say . I couldn’t agree with you more
Congratulations I'm so happy for you. Shelter,water and a toilet.
You two are great together and very inspiring. As a suggestion, put some stakes near the buried tube. Mark off with bright flag ties. Then take pictures with landmark references. I realize you have the video for reference, but it doesn't hurt to have additional record of precise tube location. Best of luck to you two!
Thanks Bryan and thanks for tips always lots to learn for sure :)
YOU KIDS work so well together I really look forward to your videos and the progress you make is incredible😊
❤
Love your videos. Nice project! Can I be that annoying person who knows better..? Make sure you cover all the black tubing (also from the ground to the taps) with insulation. Still standing water between 25 and 45 degrees celsius creates legionella bacteria which can kill you (worst case scenario) if entering your lungs. If you drive a car or tractor on the terrain where the tubes are then I think they must be deeper in the ground to prevent damaging and maybe freezing on the coldest days. Maybe consider covering the well to prevent growth of algae, keeping it cooler and avoid dirt getting in. Just letting you know to keep you safe, so we can see a lot more videos!
❤
OUTSTANDING!! Great work! Dance, sing, celebrate all you want, the farmer smiled I promise you! I am surprised the frost depth is so shallow, but I don't live there so I have no idea. Once it warms up some, a little platform for the pump to sit on will help keep trash and muck out of it. Building that will be better than pulling the pump up and cleaning the gunk off of it every couple of hours. As always, great job guys! I'll bet your arms felt like rubber after digging those trenches Dan.
Hi L+D,
That is an excellent job done. To most, digging the trench would be serious hard labour, but to a Mackem it’s a mere nothing. Good on yer Dan, you didn’t even break into a sweat, a true son of Sunderland.
The best thing though, the absolute joy and happiness that Laura’s face radiated when the water ran out of the taps. Priceless.
Stay safe and cosy.
❤
Good job on that water project!
That’s very good water pump pressure. You’re taking small steps, making such big difference.
I laughed out loud, you crawling through the water pipe “curly” , you guys are quite entertaining, and inspiring. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Hope you have a way to mark the trenches above the ground
Epic job with the plumbing guys, I was expecting more leaks than a Welsh valley 😂 You'll soon be getting to a point where you see time from a seasonal perspective rather than an immediate perspective, that's freedom. I'm happy for you both 🤘👍
Ha we did too Jay thanks for support as always
You two are the stars of CZcams.
❤
Love seeing how well you two work together and joke around and have fun while doing it. Your life has got a lot easier with water routed on your land and will be a blessing while you are improving your homestead. Well done.
Thanks Leslie for the support as always
Make sure that aluminum shed is well anchored. Everyone I've seen so far (4) was a bit "smashed up" from having blown with the wind at some point...
Yes, I had to strap mine down to 12 inch spikes because a mini-tornado/dust devil picked it up and dropped it down 25 feet or so away from where I had placed it. I don't even trust the little holes at the bottom now. I just threw a long ratchet strap over and hooked that to the spikes, then tightened it down. (Not sure of the Metric equivelants of these measurements).
❤
Love your videos! A small comment: when we lived in Spain we found that in the height of the summer our water ran really hot because the pipes were too close to the surface. Too hot to touch and too hot to use for direct watering so you may need to use first thing I the morning.
Thanks for the tips Barbara and yes this will be something we need to monitor and keep a eye on for sure great tip always lots to think about
Good job done you are fun to watch i thought it was only your hubby that was crazy now i know you are aswell take care
Keep it going guys everyday is a day closer to the end goal😎😀😜🤘🤘
Thanks Derek
You guys are a great couple and will have many happy years ahead of you!
It was really fun to see you having so much joy and fun playing around with the pipe and being silly 😋
Great Job guys as always a great inspiration to others. I look forward to each video thank you .😄👏🛠
❤
Please write a book. You are a natural wonderful narrator and i can almost imagine how a book version of this adventure would be just so captivating to read.
❤
Guys you've got to Bury the water pipe, you live in Portugal think of the summer temperature there, black attracts the sun's heat, you will have warm or even hot water in the summer months which could cause some nasty algae
❤
Very amazing video shooting,,,,,,i feels i am there at that moment,,,,,,,,,, and i enjoy,,,,,these wonderful movement,,,,,,, thanks ,,,, with lots of love ❤️,,,, you both,,,,,,,,,
❤
Dan & Laura God Bless! What an amazing and successful project. I was dancing with ya! I would have used the pipe for communication as well. (Big Smile) I continue to pray for your safety, success, and joy. I am looking into the water filtration system soon. I enjoy supporting you both!
One thing for sure, you guys aren't afraid to work. Great job!! One day at a time and before you know it it's finished. Keep it up. You're making great progress!!
❤
Ypu might consider enclosing the pump in a wooden box with multiple screening between the wood and the pump WHY?
To prevent mud and algae from clogging the pump.
Yes, the pump worked initially but eventually it will get clogged. $$$$ p.s. I live with a well.
Hi love to se your progres on the land
Tip for you,
put the pump like 10 cm from the button so you not get dirt in it so will it last longer
have a great day
from Sweden
❤
You're both young and smart. You are doing a great thing for your future!
❤❤
I found myself more invested in this than I should be. Excellent win guys.
ha love it Ian well thanks for being with us all the way :)
Put the pump in a bucket and stones then it won’t suck sludge in to the pipe 👍👍
❤
Thank you for sharing your adventures creating this farm, looking forward to the next project, the music selection is really awesome. Sending you health and happiness!
❤
You two are brilliant, your antics are laugh out loud funny. Once a week isn't enough for me. I understand it takes time to video and edit but twice a week would be great. Plus more views and building your channel will help you! Everyone is a winner!
❤
The walkie talkie so adorable ha ha ha !!
❤
Thats what life is about. In the stressful city life one make way to little time for just being a child again....enjoy
YOU GUYS WORK Hard YOU WILL PICK THE FRUITS.Greetings frommen South Africa
❤
Hi guys, great to see your pipe dream come to reality. Great job❤.
❤
GIDDY UP AND SKIN THAT SMOKE WAGON!!!!!!!!! wooohooooooooooooooooo!! GREAT JOB YOU TWO!!!!
I love watching your vlogs and it was great that you got the water going over the land you really did work hard at it.❤️❤️
❤
Just remember the black water pipe will heat up in the summer hot enough for a shower and very quickly!
Rather than waste the hot water, rig up a temporary shower by the house.
Just an idea🤔
And when you want to apply PTFE tape hold the fitting in your non handed hand apply the tape with the tape roll upwards like it’s the back of a snail, put your finger only through the tape and apply tape to thread and you can un roll so east and quickly sometimes it good to put on a pencil first. Just a couple of easy tips. I been plumbing for 54 years so can give you lots of guidance to make things easier😂👌Naughty Nigel in the UK😉
Thanks for tips Nigel and yes a lot to learns ha
Congratulations for the Water!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🍷🍷
❤
Great job. Having water where you need it is so necessary. Not sure how deep you went with the submersible pump but don't let's it sit on the bottom - lift it about 200mm so you don't suck all the sunken debris into it and block your filter(s).
❤
Hurrah you both did it, one more step to have a complete off grid living
❤
Congrats on your new water system! Huge upgrade you guys... Brilliant
❤
Dan, Laura, Congratulations on getting yourselves such a big improvement with the running water pipes down the land. 😊. I have to say, the both of you look so much more confident in your daily chores since a few weeks. I feel reassured you are in for many more successes. 💚👏👏👏😊.
Thanks Laurent :) hope you having a good day
Great job with the water system, now you can have your vegetable garden, oh and happy belated birthday to Laura🎉
❤
Jungle is massive!! Haha 😄 well done both!! Amazing to see you working so hard together only been watching a little while but enjoying seeing your progress.. keep it going! From a snowy WALES
❤
Hi you two, 🎉 Yet another interesting video with a great commentary Lara. Tony ❤️🇬🇧
❤
Great job, guys! Really enjoy your videos, and looking forward to seeing next ones. I hope my country offers what you need and be happy.
❤
good thinking. It might be easyer to unravel de pipe by roling it to the place where it neads to be so that you have no koyls
❤
For such a young couple you have got your heads screwed on your an inspiration well done and love the channel Phil from Shrewsbury Shropshire 👍❤️
Thanks for kind words :) Cool Shropshire we stayed in that area a bit a few years ago in our camper lots to explore that area
You two are a joy. lovely videos and well done. I don't know anything about the Portuguese plumbing system, but you might need to check whether pipe inserts should have been inserted in the pipe ends before connecting the pipe into the fittings.
Thanks for tips and watching. Pipe is all connected great now :)
I think you will be extending the facet by the house higher. Build a bench with some of the blocks. So you are not working in the mud. Your buckets or dishes can be on a bench. Save your back and keep buckets clean and off the ground/mud. I did the same with one I put in my back yard. Had to fix it. My back is not what it used to be. Keep it up you 2!!!!
❤
If you have a coil cut the band and put the beginning into the coil then all the turns go out of your pipe have a beautiful day down there 😊
Best wishes

Great job Laura and Dan. This would make things so much easier for you.
❤
Well done 👋 great job and such a laugh with you 2 😂
Thanks Lesley glad we can all laugh together :)
I'm really pleased for you. Looking forward to the next step.
❤
Ooh running water that is amazing you two love rhe pipe tubing singing yes that's beautiful enjoy it you beautiful
Couple
❤
Need to unroll the roll of pipe, like how you remove sellotape, or grab one end and roll it down the hill.
Love how much fun and play you have on these videos, that’s me and my wife all over. Can’t wait till we get to Spain and start our off-grid adventure too. 😁
Agrred on unrolling the pipe. The only other way to do it to get it straightened out would be to let it heat up on a really hot day, then both pull from each end, allowing it to spin in one's hands until it is straight, with no loops or bends.
Thanks for tips always lots of things to learn ha and hope you and your husband can live your dream :)
You two be as silly as possible because you deserve it
Liven the dream ❤❤❤❤😊🎉 water!!!
We will do 😆 thanks Terry 💖
Concrete at all places the water comes out just a thin slab that way the water won't wash or keep it muddy or rocks, or gravel
Thanks for tips
Well done on your NEW water system guys!! You won't' know yourselves with your Summer coming up so it's water fights, outdoor kitchen clean ups etc., even maybe washing cars AND a veggie garden!!
❤
Its great to see a young couple having a go. I don't watch many of these channel there are lot out there in youtube land and I preview a few but never go back. I have subscribed to your channel. The pipe couplings you used do not need thread tape as the pipe is sealed by an O Ring in the coupling. As you learnt by experience you need to push the pipe in fully. We have done similar things on our 1 acre property. It had a Bore (Well) when brought it but no taps or plumping from it. We now have 6 taps running from it for irrigation. Keep up the great work.
❤
Maybe if you were to roll that coil of pipe up to the next tap point after securing one end where you want to start from you will find no "snakies".
Thanks for tips :)
Congrats and great job in installing the water line and connecting. Consider setting an ibc tote about 15 feet or higher (maybe on a tree securely in if you are unable to make a structure) above the ground and harvest rain water into it, this way you have the water pressure and it will supply without needing any power (generator) which will save your money. Try it and if it's a success you can do a few ibc's like that near each tap you have installed.
I harvest rain water as I have suggested to you and it supply to my requirements and it makes a significant difference in costs
Well done with the pipes guys, love all the dancing and singing too. Makes those jobs more enjoyable. Nothing like fun to make the jobs go better. xx
❤
Great work guys Nice to watch happy people at play and work Is there a frost line in your area...?
❤

Good job!!!
❤
ye should look for a 2nd hand quad bike .. will help getting up and down the land easier.. can also be used to attach small self made digging utensils to help dig tadditional roughs
Yes really good idea something we would love to add in the future. :)
Gratz guys, gonna be much easier growing your own stuff now plus not having to lug water all over for other stuff, well done! 😊
Proud we are of ...You Two. Good job.
❤
Great job 👏👏👏
❤
Soooo pleased for you

You could do with some old baths to put under the tap's. Then you don't waist the water.
❤
Happy to see you do things there.
