kids camped out last night how was it my man no floor's so hard the boys are telling me
there's snow in the walk-in freezer that's not good holy moly that's -27
holy smokes that can't be good because that's gonna build up and accumulate hey
good morning eric what do we got here this morning well this is gonna be your stream water
catchment system so what it's going to be we're going to frame it with wood put screen on top of
it nice the sticks debris all that stuff will then just run right off the screen i like it
without being caught up and we'll figure out how we can go all the way to this if we have to
but this right here gets clogged up with dirt yeah it's tooth fine huh yeah it's awful fine
did you make this up yourself eric or did you learn this somewhere my channel is based
more on diy you can buy this for about 1500 okay or you can build it for about 10 or 15.
now fine mesh over fine measuring the water i'll just wash theoretically wash the stuff
basically be like this it'll be coming down so what is this thing called a weir
a weird it's called a weir okay we drill holes just over top of the bend in here
how you gonna get this thing here to the rock if we have to we'll drill it put stainless steel
bolts in huh okay and we're gonna put holes in this is the ibc tote bottom and uh the water will
flow over and drip down through into here and this is just a felt it's just extra security we have
drilled holes we're scraping the extra plastic and that's ready to you ready to hike the mountain
pretty much i gotta go milk so we'll catch back up in an hour we have a very interesting
problem this morning i go to milk and there's nothing in this she's barely got any milk
sure i squirted a few but there's nothing well the good news is
milking's cut short and we can get back to this water project 225 gallon tank josie
we made it to the top of the mountain once again we've got the top of our line there
eric's looking for a place the spring box in the tank so move it down here we can anchor the
the collection thing here down here where my feet are put the plastic up here and catch all this
right here at low level like it is right now it's going to naturally flow through that that lower
hole yeah so we'll capture all of that i got to go down to pt we're going to leave our tank here
eric's going to be working on the water collection we'll be back it's the big boy 62 pounds
we've had our training we've had our lunch let's go see what's going on just hiked up the mountain
third time today looks like he's got his trough in having hasn't connected it yet
so he's got his truck raring to go taking a water sample we're gonna do cut it to fit well
i'll cut some of that off so it comes up in here a little bit more and then
well the leatherman's not gonna work for cutting up
plastic we're gonna have to go down and get us a saw all right let's climb this mountain again
that's all going to do it huh oh yeah while you were going we screwed this block of wood in here
it screwed into the drum here and what we're going to do is drill and put
uh tapcons in here and screw it right into the rock that allows us to do is screw this
direct engine hydraulic cement and it says it sets up in three to five minutes and then i'm kidding
let it stick to that plastic too huh
well that flowing water is putting a wrench in our bucket it's gonna come out tomorrow put more
hydraulic on it damn that up a little bit better stop that flow for a second that's gonna hold huh
well everything with that one little crack right there you're already overflowing my man
coming out yep you're already coming out you did good now it's getting crazy taking this red tape
i'm trying to go parallel along the tarp line here
all the way over to the pigs i've got my on x app show me the contour this is crazy
look at this rock though definitely gonna have to go to the right of this rock drop some elevation
so we're gonna take contour as best we can and if we have to go veer we're going to veer downhill
put down my last red mark you see where we are
see the pig stuff down there now we're gonna need to straighten out the hoses
and drag them up through there we're gonna get water to these pigs before they leave i mean
it's gonna be just before they leave they leave in a week but still they'll be animals behind
