  • Cole, I would suggest you get a couple of those huge rocks you grew in the field and place them around the pump in the driveway to prevent any drivers from running over the pipes sticking up in the driveway.

    You guys forgot to put the Danger Electric Line plastic tape above the conduit. So you dont cut the wires like you did when you first dug the trench.😊

    Roman needs his own channel and allow folks to work with him as he becomes the mentor. What a gentleman!

    Another thing with electrical pvc conduit.... Lay all the pipe out in the sun and warm up. Normally we trench out everything, lay out our conduit, let it warm up because it becomes more flexible and when you glue it warm it glues with a better bonding. Glue everything outside of the trench and leave it alone for a while. Then push it in the trench. Push 6 inches of soil on top of the conduit. Pack it down. Then unroll the aluminum (Warning electric lines) metal location band (tape) then fill in the trench 1 foot at a time for the whole thing. come back immediately and pack the soil and dampen it with a hose. Once you do that then follow that same procedure filling it up till it's leveled. Then run the bobcat tred over it a couple times and leave it alone. You will notice in about a week the soil will drop down and compress more over time so once a week wet the area down and throw more soil on it and run the bobcat over it. After a month of doing this you shouldn't have any issues with big trucks and equipment driving over it and damaging the feeder wires.

    You guys are so funny ! I'm not into farming or home remodeling but I never miss a video. Just an old lady that enjoys a good laugh.

    Justin and Roman should get a raise for all the hard work they do!!😊
  • @OOpSjm
    Snow is going to pile up over that pump controller
  • Everyone forgets all the hand labor, shoveling especially, that happens on a building site. You guys seem to have unlimited energy. Well Done!
  • Roman is such a down to earth person great addition to the videos
  • @paulettari976
    I enjoy the fact that Cole, Justin and Roman are working with theirs hands doing manual labor rather than sitting staring at screens all day

    I used to work for an electrical contractor that specialized in agricultural stuff, like hog houses and chicken houses. First thing is if you can go buy your wire and and what not at a place that just deals with with electrical stuff, normally it will be way cheaper than the big box stores. Next up when pulling wire through long runs of conduit, you should lay the pipe out by the trench, glue it together, you can leave the 90's off if you want till the end, put pipe in the trench and then you want to put in a pull string, tie a little bit of a plastic bag on the end of string, stick in the pipe, and go plug the other end up with a vacuum and suck the string to other side. Then you want to use a pull rope, flat ones work best, pull that to the other side, stagger the ends of your wire and hook the rope around the wire and electrical tape it to be safe, then stick it in the pipe and pull it to other side, keep some wire lube on hand in case you need extra slickness. on your smaller pipe you can just pull the wire through wtih the string, no need for rope, and we always pulled an extra pull string in with the wire in case we ever never to add another wire in the future. and other thing is after you get your pull strings in the pipe you can go ahead and burry it. Lots of the time on job sites you dont put the wire in same day as pipe but you want to cover your trenches up, for lots a reasons
  • Did you forget winter snow will be higher than your red well box? It is too low to the ground.
  • I know this is late but I think the well control box needs to be by the pressure tank to know when to turn it on and off so that would be in the basement most likely
  • @paulslee341
    connect the conduit to the skid loader exhaust, it heats it perfectly

    EVERYONE NEEDS A JUSTON AND A ROMAN!!!! Cole you are so lucky to have such good workers. Happy Birthday to Neva (spelling)!!!! 🎂🎈🥳
  • @nathanlloyd1146
    As an electrician the preferred method of heating up PVC and bending is a heat blanket or a hot box. Nothing wrong with the torch. But a tip is plugging both ends with a rag or cap so the heat doesn’t escape and the pipe heats up faster.
  • Just wanna say you guys are doing an awesome job very entertaining and we love Justin. We love you guys too, but Justin is just funny.
