I am on nearly 70 acres in USDA Planting Zone 8b in Douglas County, Oregon with a hay field, pasture, garden, and lots of forest. I raise meat rabbits and chickens. I have big plans for the property to be more self-sufficient and look forward to sharing the process with you. I preserve food via dehydrating, canning, freezing, and freeze drying.

    A higher AH battery will provide a longer run time but they take longer to charge. They also make 3AH-12AH sizes I beleive. It might be worth trying to siphon, rather than pump the water off the top of the hill. If it works you won't have to tend batteries and it will get rid of the water above the house.

    • @sowandtare
      @sowandtare 25 днів тому

      Thanks! That's what I was seeing with the battery sizes, but did not know they went up to 12 AH. Good call on the potential for using a siphon. Once a French drain is installed, I shouldn't have to worry about it.

      Yep, but like I said in the video, I had to use what I had, and it worked. I did have a shorter one, but it broke entirely when I went to uncoil it, and the one it comes with wouldn't straighten out and was not very flexible or long enough, so this is what I was left with. It works, so I'm happy with the result.

    Rain, Rain, go away. It's a full time job moving that water with the pump. You might end up the queen of batteries. Figure out how many you need but then you will be running out there every 15 minutes anyway. My back yard was like this. We were lucky to put drains under ground running into the alley ditch. The yard fills up and it drains in about a day. My daughter's house is just like what you are fighting the same kind of step down. I can't remember what we had her do there. The other side of her house on the big hillside she has a 6' tall retaining wall and we dug a drain area along side and sunk some pipes to drain it. We had to make a little crack across her drive way by the garage door to drain water off the hill through and out. Otherwise her basement garage filled up ankle deep. She ended up dry but it was a lot of work and I don't remember what all we did exactly.

    • @sowandtare
      @sowandtare 27 днів тому

    Homesteading is my second full time job. Yesterday was up to 50 mph winds. I had to take the tarp off of the chicken run or the frame was going to be torn apart. I had just finished an amazingly stout hutch and ended up putting a silver fox bucks in it, right before his hutch blew over, despite having a ground screw and tie down ratchet strap. I had another Florida white buck whose hutch flipped over completely. He was fine, besides being completely offended. All future hutches will be built to Sherman tank specifications. Building to the needs of the worst weather is hard to remember when you are building in the best weather. My head lamp is my "right hand man" for after dark animal checks or working on projects when the sun is gone too early. So many of us do this. Thanks for your thought processes.
