    My dad is a plumber and farmer. He put cut off valves on each one of his tanks!! So that you will not lose all of your water if you have a pipe burst!! We are in Tennessee and not sure how cold it gets where y'all are?♥️♥️ Y'all!! Keep up this Great homesteading!!

    See I enjoyed this video and you alls snotty comments didn’t run me away. I said I’m here to support I want to see you guys win. Lighten up Subs and Zay don’t run off Subs because they have a different mindset. I don’t live off grid but if I was 40 years younger I would love to give it a try. Good luck. Chill out folks it’s not that serious you can’t have a successful channel if you don’t have thick skin this I do know

    Hi Zay and Nae, thanks for sharing your water system. Make sure you have the same measurement's at your home and at your off grid site. Check your measurement's position of the totes on next to your off the grid home. Sometime the numbers can be off.

    • @ZayandNae

      We appreciate the heads up. We'll double-check our measurements!

    I would've painted the (totes & pvc) black to prevent "Algae" buildup [but that might not be necessary for you] but in any case, i am glad you 2 are doing well and continuing to build your "Homestead."

    • @ZayandNae
      @ZayandNae  2 дні тому +5

      It gets triple digits (hot) in Oklahoma, and black tanks can make the water unusable, especially for livestock drinking water.
      With the aluminum colored paint it doesn't allow the light through while reflecting the light and heat. The inside of the tote is still dark because of the layer of coating we put on the totes.
      For us, it is more effective this way.

    Great plan for water storage. Where will you get water from once you move to your land? I l know its expensive to have water brought in.

    • @ZayandNae
      @ZayandNae  День тому +2

      We plan on getting our water from the creek and building a water filter system that can get rid of all the containments so that we can drink it. We buy drinking water right now.

    Why wouldn't you do all this cutting and assembly at the house. One and done.

    • @ZayandNae
      @ZayandNae  2 дні тому +7

      I did do it at my house where I live. I wouldn't have had the time, nor would it make sense for me to get off work then transport everything to the raw land, hoping I have everything I need.
      It was a lot easier for me to do it at my house like I did so that I know it works before moving it and setting it up.
