What happens here

This video documents the preliminary stages of installing a flexible polyethylene pipe water supply system on a farm, specifically designed for cold climates to ensure freeze resistance and water flow efficiency. It includes the acquisition of long lengths of poly pipe and the preparation of a buried tire water tank that leverages ground insulation to prevent freezing. The project is part of a larger solar-powered water pump system to provide water to livestock.

hey folks that fix it guy here and look where i'm at hanging out with josh stoney ridge farmer that's it you're busted all right so what are we doing today on flight wait wait let's talk so this is is this one of your first vlogs this is probably one of my first vlogs vlog vlog days yeah he flew in from seattle on the on the red eye flight last night he came here to shoot videos and help me with a plumbing situation uh out in the cow pastures and it's the wind is blowing 50 miles an hour out here today and we can't film outside so we're going to run some errands and we're going to show you some of the projects that are going on on the farm and i think there's babies babies you're going to see some babies you may even see a birth an actual live burst awesome awesome so we got one project and we're going to rotate around and show you this is my nasty shot by the way it is a mess in here the skid loader is back there um there yeah and it's in pieces right now the seat and all the electronics is right here the entire wiring harness took a crap on me so i've been working on that that'll be a future video on the youtube channel uh yeah so we do anything from cooking to fixing to plumbing to uh brian's like hey man uh what's up with this motorcycle you got in here yeah yeah you got a brand new motorcycle it's not new it's just it's not new but it's pretty it's definitely pretty yeah so i get out on that when i get a little bit of spare time which isn't very often so mountain bikes too um we're gonna hop in red yoda and we're gonna ride up and check out this hole i've been trying to pump water out of so me and brian can actually get some work done it's going to be awesome so come along let's get to fixing yeah babies come here come here baby come here yeah next buddy look at that so before we head to the plumbing store before we go up the road i had to get this out of the way this is six inch corrugated pipe yeah it's echo pipe i do have fun on the farm it's not just all work but this will be for our hand holes for reaching in and turning valves on and off so it's big enough that i can you catch the smell in here i don't what is it man [Laughter] so where we're riding up to is just kind of smack in the middle of the field i've got a unique solar system up here solar water pump system and we're running four thousand six hundred feet of poly pipe here into the quarterback there's a lot of pipes it's a tobacco barn that's where they used to dry tobacco that barn was built in about 1918 it's just wow it's got mud packed in there it's about to fall down um got a few things going big tractors up here oh man yes equipment yard what is that thing on the back of the big tractor that is a drag harrow batwing drag harrow okay yeah wow absolutely looks like a cage some fighters fight in or something and up here uh is water system in progress dude look at the size of these boulders you could sell these boulders you know that yeah nine dollars a piece wow look at this little bad boy yeah it's a little power station yeah okay so now it's on and we should be pumping to our water hose down here here it comes oh there we go all right okay the good news about all this wind is that it'll dry that hole out i hope i've been doing youtube videos for about seven years now josh is a lot more better at this than me see the sun rays yes now look oh oh look now look okay so this weekend is a business trip yeah we're brian um and that brian's here to learn also and uh what we learned just now look at that gate right there it's sprung oh totally yeah yeah these high winds blew the gate and sprung the gate right here right there now here's the thing about it and this is something you really need to think about you see how twisted that is yeah i can i can straighten this out i can do that karate we talked about i can kick it and straighten it out but if i kick it and straight straighten it out that's what i like it can't get any more jacked up than it already is it's kind of like when somebody falls down the first thing you want to do is pick them up get them up well they can't fall any further if they're already on the ground so they're the safest that they could possibly be when they're on the ground that is in the safest configuration that it could possibly be this other gate needs to be adjusted and we need to pull them together and lock them probably we built that pond about a year ago there was spring fed i remember that yeah that will help to water the cows also we'll pump water out of that pond or siphon water out of that pond as a backup water source and that looks awesome dude it really it's this has come along a long way yeah thank you yeah it's getting there no no it's cool bro never sit still here i love it i stay moving i keep going and going and going until i crash and sleep for three days yeah man that's a thick tire too bro yeah so what we did this is a 14 ply tire off of a skidder a log moving uh piece of equipment okay and this will serve as a water tank for the cows now a lot of people ask well isn't that rubber going to hurt something blah blah blah it's not going to hurt a thing they make tire tanks out of or excuse me they make watering tanks out of rubber all the time so it's not going to hurt a thing in the world we'll keep this clean there'll be a drain inside of it and there'll be a water valve inside of it this will be good water storage for the cows it'll actually be buried up about 10 inches in the ground so that will help keep it from freezing in the winter awesome yeah i don't know that's sweat dude so you can tell that i don't ever do this right like it's very apparent that i never vlog like so you're used to setting up the camera and getting the shot of what it is that you're doing with your hands and that's it [Applause] [Music] nice [Music] i think i found my thumbnail hey david hey man i am going to i'm running behind man i'm going is anybody going to be there after 12 or y'all shutting the doors probably [Music] perfect brother thank you so much see perfect i think it's good that's customer service yeah yeah when you're buying all the pipe and rigging yeah in the state yeah they're keeping the doors open for you right awesome [Laughter] we're jumping on the four-wheeler yes brian is it cold i'm side-saddling it's freaking freezing cold dude is it funky okay professional wait till you see brian get out okay that's gonna be great that's gonna be awesome dude drive that spike in yep and this is a 10 pound oh dead blow hammer so i was a baseball player in high school yeah yeah ready right okay now we got lefty i was a switch hitter [Music] one game i actually hit a home run right handed went back out and hit one lefty wow but i still sucked that's awesome cows are believe it or not very communal organisms and you can see their her attention is too something going on over there she's calling for something going on over there i would anticipate babies oh okay i think butt head the number three cow should be having a baby today okay maybe just had it or we might have to assist so okay could get serious quick oh which could be crazy yeah typically in the morning i'll fire up the drone and go over and check the cows when it's calving season to see if anybody's calving man i don't think she had her baby yet but we're gonna drop this bale and then we'll go patrol the field real quick okay sometimes when they have babies they'll have babies in real tall grass over here and they'll hide their baby okay so we'll ride over there and take a look okay load on up there watch your feet yeah watch your fanta child oh she looks like she's coming so just get near me and she'll be all right baby she's not all right yeah so people people don't respect the fact that these cows are and you'll be okay separated from me now brian okay people don't respect that these cows weighed susie weighs 1400 pounds that's a car coming at you oh i respect it yeah that's a all right just stay right there i'll go check on okay so cheering the pasture here she's totally agitated i like i'm a member of the herd but she's totally agitated yeah that i'm here like i've never seen her run like that ever brian i want to get your feedback uh let's let's rotate together like that keep yourself in there you're part of it you're a big part of this upright grout okay we're getting there oh man all right yeah keep going let's get those cows in the background okay there we go spread out i'll squeeze in with you okay so what do you think about these animals they're huge they're awesome yeah they're huge and i have to say like susie kind of running behind us was a little bit freaky yeah you never know if you were just gonna get
