Folks take a second here and tell me what you'd like to see more of on the channel....I love what I do...but any suggestions are always welcome! Wooooo!!!
Josh. Tbh I love everything you do in your vlogs they are always informative and interesting. I do like it when you make stuff and when you tinker with the tractors and cars. 👍🏻
I like it all. Makes what I am trying to do on my 3 acres look insignificant. I have tried many of the things you are doing for myself. Some with success, some not so much. Keep it up.
Where did you get that black water pipe?
I noticed Wranglerstar was the most popular when he was building stuff and just talking about what he finds meaningful in life. We sort of know what you are doing, but not so much about who you are, where you came from and why you want to build a farm.
Camarata is doing stuff, breaking something and then fixing it. It's more of a simpler formula. Either of those is OK, and so is the occasional product shilling.
The only channels that haven't worked out are the ones where they stop being humble, or they get prissy with their audience (which is probably really hard to stomach when someone is telling you which end of a cow is the front or whatever...) 😹
sometimes it's just too fun just to say "whoo"!
So it’s like a modern cistern. Using the water pressure built up in the tank and gravity to provide water 💦 to the farm off grid. Amazing!
sorta like having reservoir that acts like a well bladder.
Hey Josh! Dad was a Master Plumber, and all three of his boys got to be Assistants as soon as we were big enough to lug a tool box or use a shovel. It seems like every job started out with digging an exceedingly fine hole and/or ditch, doing the job, then filling the ditch or hole back in! Nice to see that some things haven't changed!
This is a great example of why I subscribe to your channel not for the mishaps but because you didn't delete it you left it as a learning experience. You keep your videos real. Love your channel and videos. Continue to "keep it real life" bro
I appreciate that
Fantastic blooper !! I'm just rolling on the floor, could not stop laughing, great attitude and content. Thanks for all you do..
I love how you're able to laugh at yourself and teach at the same time. Great channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
I hope you make very detailed maps for all the pipes and junctions you just installed. Archive it good for your future generations. Having to dig up and trace unmarked water lines at work, proving to be miserable. Glad to see you got it moving smoothly!
This is HUGE!!!
remember...I have a video series to fall back on my friend...everything is documented here! Perfect reason to do these vids huh! Woooo!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer very true!! But I'd still suggest a few measurements 😉
You can buy some inexpensive tape that you bury with your pipe that is easily found with an inexpensive metal detector. The tape is also a bright color in the event you dig close to your water line you’ll hopefully see it. I know hindsight is easy but I’m new to your channel I’m enjoying it so far.
I miss the original SRF music. I was glad to hear it playing on this intro. It's you, it's your channel and it's The Stoney Ridge Farm.
So glad you weren’t hurt but that was great and definitely a teaching moment.
Son and I love the channel. Thanks for sharing not only your experiences but also your knowledge. Keep up the great work Josh and thanks for sharing.
Loved the water blowout it was hysterical. Of course, after I saw you were ok.
And the Blooper of the Year award for 2022 goes to Stoney Ridge Farmer!
Loving this series. Self sufficiency gives me the fizz.
Josh, you're doing just great, this water system is truly superb, reflecting lots of ingenuity and hard work. Big kudos buddy.
What a project! Everything you’re doing is making your farm and life better…nice work! That blast of water will definitely wake ya up! 😆
Took over the family farm a year ago i can tell you i thought i knew everything but everyday i learn somthing new every day is a different struggle keep the videos coming thanks to your irrigation and solar pump videos i have learned alot
Sorry for spelling errors english is a third language for me
Love your channel. New to it and been enjoying the catch up. My husband was born and raised in the western foot of NC. We moved closer to work 13yrs ago but just recently purchased 20acrs back where he was raised. Not sure what we will do with it, recreation at the moment. Not living there I appreciate your off grid ideas. Solar and water like this would allow us to camp. Thanks for a great video.
Josh, your channel is one of my favorites on CZcams. I enjoy watching your content because it's a collection of so many different things. You are one of these people that know a lot about a variety of things, and I find that super interesting. You do a great job with keeping it real, and being genuine. Hey, this is what makes your channel great (insert "Woo!" here). There's always something going on at SRF. Keep doing what you do and thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Awesome! Thank you!
Josh you are doing everything I want to see! Awesome video!
Watching your hat get blown off was worth the price of admission!🤣
There's something ver soothing about watching a time lapse of a hole being dug.
GOOD THING YOU HAD YOUR GLASSES ON.... YOU COULD HAVE LOST ANY EYE.... OR EVEN BROKEN A TOOTH OR TWO!!!
THANK-YOU LORD FOR PROTECTING "STONEY RIDGE FARMER!" : )
Amen
Retired, Veteran
Josh,, you are doing a great job, I must admit though I laughed at seeing the water blow your cap off your head. Glad you did not get injured.
Im gonna get wet..Boom...laugh.
My pet rock Willie, yes my friend you sure have been rolling out rocks for YEARS. Josh, thank you for all the work and info over the years.
Super shop cometh!!
$100 truck..yeah
I have done so many things on my farm that made me say you dummy, meaning me. Then take a minute and laugh at myself. If you don’t get hurt or hurt someone then sit down and have a laugh.
Josh thinking about doing the same thing on my farm for water in my pastures with a tank on top of the hill in SW Pennsylvania and then use gravity.
Glad you didn’t get hurt with all the water pressure coming out of that hose, farmer rod
Wow that’s a huge project, love all info and great explanation. The bloopers a great laugh , you got a fantastic sense of humor. God bless
Great information. Love how you use quality hardware..
Kewl, looking forward to see how it holds up over time.
Glad you have a sense of humor - this had to be the best all time blooper. I did laugh out loud - every time I watched it.
LOL! "I hope not to get wet..." famous last words. Well, not only did you get wet, you got SOAKED!
Hi.... Josh, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Farmers have to be among the most knowledgeable people in the world. You guys have to know a little of everything and be proficient enough to create whatever you need at the time.
I will stay subscribed - this is the first time I am seeing anyone attempting to control water on a flat
land condition; Good Luck!
uh...this aint flat buddy....80 feet or so of elevation change on the farm...that's why I got blasted with water...the well was not on...that's pressure from the "fall" of the water
Dude you are so optomistic about everything. I dig it! First time farmer myself, working on 30 acres in north central washington. I enjoyed the video! Much success to you and your farm!
You can do it!
FYI, pvc electrical conduit threaded fittings are not tapered like plumbing fittings and make better bulk heads.
That outside shower you had was hilarious 😂
you got to be safe ... hey do be safe.. Thanks for sharing..
I was in the Air Force too brother, you know there are a bunch of jokes in my head about that water spray.......😆
Mostly about the Navy....😂🤣😂🤣😅🤔
Hopefully your underground valves out-live you man! I bought a place that was built in 1973 and had to change out all the shut off valves because they were all seized and not functional. This was your 1st video I have seen, but I'll check out others!
I’m glad the line cap did not hit you. That would have really hurt.. keep on farmin!!
I'm watching to find out if you put that first stake right on top of a 20' boulder.... 😹
edit: looks like you did find some nice big ones in there, hey Bobby
I just bought a 2500 gallon potable tank. Looking to us this video as a guide for my project. This tank will be our primary source of water.
Nice watering system Josh.
Awsome awsome. Future reference. They make a square access for your shut off. They use them for yard sprinkler systems. This would allow you to replace the valve if it ever gos bad because theres more room then a round access. May just need to make a extension to get down 3'
Keep up great work
yep...I've seen those boxes...however they must be below the frost line for this to work
That's why you may be able to get a sheet metal shop to make you a extension using color clad an then have them insulate it. I'm sure theres other ways then that you could make a extension with. Just food for thought. Love the videos. Keep up great work
That was a funny start!😂
Hats off to you stoney ridge lmao that kntro made my day josh thankfully your ok and all is well buddy. Also my wife said next time you need a shower just ask we'll let you use ours.
An easy way to have a handle in tight places like that is to take the handle off and make a new Circle Handle with holes. Then you can make a simple long tool that can get down in where you need with a T handle above the surface that you can easily use to turn your valve deep in the ground. We use this method in an industrial setting alot due to it's relative ease and also to prevent Insect and snake bites. we have a huge issue with scorpions and Black Widows living in these kind if underground access holes for valves and other instruments here in East Texas.
we've even made the tool to turn the valves on short notice with just a stick of All Thread, a small metal plate, and some 1/4" nuts and bolts, only tool we used was a drill for the holes for the bolts. a similar tool is commonly called a Water Meter Key.
You got all the toys Josh. It’s awesome.
Need them to build this place for sure!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I hear ya. I’m gonna need the same in the next few years. It’s a little overwhelming to think of
Good opening clip! It made my day.
That will make the Top 10 Bloopers List forever!!! haha
Great job love watching your videos so enertaining and also informative
Thanks so much!
glacial river rocks some good ones.....
fascinating project well explained
Josh. I have to say this and I’m sorry. I nearly wet myself laughing when the pipe burst. One of the funniest things I’ve seen for a long, long time. Your getting there though mate. I absolutely loved this Vlog. Wooo getting wet times. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
i was in North Carolina last week
That was funny!!! Thanks. I needed that.
hi there give that big old rock a good PSI wash and paint bobby on it . kind of like that volley ball in the tom hanks movie , up here i have turtles with names . turner it have quite a following . when saw milling getting the log prepped for sawing the mics. the cutoffs lumps and humps sometimes look like turtles . that is how that got started . . when sawing logs and you cut off the butt swell (i know ha ha ) a lot of those are called ironing boards . because a lot of them look like a ironing board , thats a lot of pipe to lay , looks like you also are a one man band , stay in tune you are doing a heck of a job and undertaking john ps you still have that Frick mill and willys . thats the Frick in my name along with Jeep
lol...I've got so many rocks on this farm that thing is going off in a hole somewhere lol
You rattled that off like you have said that like 300 times. 🤘🏻
It probably was in my head for 600 days before I did the job lol
Josh , I thought I was going to wet myself when that hose blow your hat off ! LOL 😂🤠
Just what you need, something to wake you up with a nice organic shower 🤣.
I had to subscribe as soon as your hat blew off from the hose 😂😂😂 great video!
bhahhaha....thanks! That was pretty funny...and I was lucky I didn't hurt myself! Welcome to the channel! I've got a complete water system video coming out soon!
Josh, have you thought about building a shed over the water tank with some of your milled lumber & insulating the hell out of it ? You could also build a hell of a rock wall using all the rocks you keep digging up. Have a great day 😊.
that's why I buried it..so I wouldn't have to build and maintain a shed over top of the tank
thanks for sharing the video, a swimming pool contractor told me years ago always use Gray PVC cement which stays soft .The blue PVC cement gets too hard and can cause cracks at the glue joints in time . especially around pumps where there is vibration
hmmm....pool contractor v/s journeyman plumber...I'll have to ask my plumbing buddy about that
I put in two 1500 gallon septic tanks about 10 years ago hit feeds 6 watering tanks
🙋🏼♂️. Rock n roll 🚧
Lol😂 now that’s good pressure
That’s awesome enjoy your channel do a lot of work pretty fine course the good work to
Nice work
Thanks
That intro tho!
I enjoy video, because they educated me much appreciate friend 💓
To be a first time Farmer must be wonderful to be that rich and can do all that and buy all that equipment and build up a farm
Hey Josh, nice set up...I was thinking you might want to drop weld on that nut so it never comes loose. JB weld might work too...Nice Job!
Swimming hole is the next project
Josh that was funny with the water line but your ok
that thumb's really handy.
Man that intro made me burst out😂
That happens to me, to lower extent when I pressurize water line (winterizing) with hydrant uphill off, I get the blow back and
repeat till it's gone.
Hey!
Good thing you had sunglasses on😁
You got some big boulders there Josh! LOL The farm is appropriately named. I've learned so much watching your vids, which has helped me manage my small 12 acre hobby farm. Thanks!!!
Thanks 👍
A glue in fitting sure sounds like future work to me.
yep...not sure why
You are lucky you did not hurt yourself!
indeed
I use old buckets for valve holes. You just cut a u shape out of the bottom and then you just pop your lid off to access it
yep....that's a solution...but not a very long lasting solution my brotha, cow steps on a bucket lid in the pasture and falls through...probably have to stick with something a little tougher
Smart!
Have you watched Anchor Brand Ranch? He has waterers everywhere. The pipe runs into a box with float valve. When the box gets full (meaning the water trough is full) the float valve turns the water off. This way you don't have to do it by hand.
you are just seeing the beginings of a self sufficient water tank setup..tune in next week and I'll show you my water trough installs for the cows...we're gonna do 2 different water tank setups...you'll love it...and all this will be totally automated with float valves and such
@Matta he has to keep all the water lines, and especially the valves, below the frost line. The ground freezes and so would the lines and valves if closer to the surface. Remember Josh is building this as close to maintenance free as possible.
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it just don't get wet next time
good video
Happy I watched this lol
Fence the solar panels and tank off from cows cows could find panels good place rub and scratch on messing with alignment
of course they'll be fenced off my friend
Thanks for the awesome videos! Your video on how to hang a farm gate was super helpful. What is the type / size water line you are using? I like the idea of the flexible hose. I’m getting ready to start my water line project on the my 3 acres property my wife and I just purchased. Keep up the great work!
1 1/4 inch 160 PSI poly pipe...could have gone as small as 3/4 but I wanted the volume in case we ever decide to irrigate
Hi from ireland good job but steel or brass fittings under ground not great, we have all pvc fittings here same as the pipe just push in tighten by hand all shapes and sizes their a great job never leak.took up pipe 20 years under ground they were the same as new used them again with new o rings.
yeppers.....stainless works pretty good around here along with bronze fittings for valves
I loved the three stooges.
If you ever do any more in ground applications with water valve try a curb stop valve they work way better and you don't have to bend a ball valve handle. But whatever works for you just here to help.
can't use a curb stop for a water tank like this..it will drain the tank my friend...curb stop valve is $85 v/s $26 ball valve. The frost free mirafount tanks have a curb stop valve ...the ball valves will only be used for the tire water tanks
yep, there's one outside my house, easy to use
They make them without drain backs so they won't drain your tank. I do agree with the price difference they are a lot more expensive and your ball valve will be just fine. Anyway keep up the good work I love watching your videos!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer If you turn the ball valve on its side so the lever is in a vertical orientation, and then adust the lever's mounting angle so it's at a 45 degree angle on its mounting bolt (===./.===) instead of a 90 degree one, then a straight rod down the hole and loosely bolted to the end of the lever will let you operate the valve. That way you won't need a special tool, you can just reach in and pull the rod up or down. Same idea as a gearstick coupled to the gearbox with a rod.
Is there a follow up video on this and how did it work ? Did you fill all the way to ground level with sand or fill with dirt ?
I see your bolling ball idea and it looks like it could work but I also noticed your drain pipe has a cap on it. Unless you take the cap off and leave it off the tank will not drain. That presents a problem of having a pipe with no cap that a calf can step into and brake a leg.
yep....it's not totally perfect yet.....the bowling ball idea will only work if I drill a few holes in the drain plug
@Stoney Ridge Farmer
WOOOOOOO!
Will that PVC pipe for the sensor function as an overflow/overpressure/vacuum breaker or do you have a separate plan for that?
I would have "Over-Engineered" this hole py lining the bottom and sides with Lanscape Fabric, placed about 4" of Pea Gravel, Placed the Tank (made Connections), then Backfill around the Tank with more Pea Gravel (leaving some excess Landscape fabric to cover the edges.
Then add some River Rock on top of that to soil level...
the entire reason for the screenings is that rock won't work buddy....need something very gentle that's like sand...geotextile could have been used here...but wasn't neccesary...I've got some folks commenting that I should have poured it in concrete....shew...expensive...however...no rock! That's the entire reason for the screenings...pea gravel would have made this a giant french drain...in other words the whole pit would be full of water all the time
What you should’ve done on that Val I said a bend in it you should’ve put a socket or a nut welded on there then get you a rod and put a socket on it or whatever side to put on it socket or a nut make you handle that way all you do is make your a longer handle I said reaching down getting on the ground and doing it easy Peezy
Hey Josh, that was the funniest Blooper you have done to date, sorry you got wet, love the Vid's.
Josh, is there a small vent hole in the tank? As you fill the tank, air in the tank needs to escape, so as not to build too much pressure, allowing water to fill.
You may need an air valve to to off and on, when the solar pump turns off and on.
yes...the lid is vented
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Josh, thanks for the response. I was sure you had it all covered. I was sitting there thinking. Over thinking actually. 😆
