    You may want to consider running a piece of aluminum tape in the trench. You may know where it is now, but five years from now it might be hard to find. Put in the metal tape so you can use a metal detector to find the line.

    Happy Mother’s Day. The moment Lily said she was tired, I knew she was sick. Kudos toJonah and Josiah for hands on learning from their role model, they are mastering the homestead. Gideon likes chores only if they are in they are in the lens of being playful.
    Lily is a preteen, she needs special attention among all the males in the family.

    I love how Justin talks to his children like they are equals when in the field or pasture or on the mountain talking about water lines etc…. He talks openly and allows them to tell him things they notice on the funtion of anything on their land….. the kids know certain routines of certain animals and Justin listens…. Love it!!!

    I love Justin's attitude about giving attention to his children. His patience with Henry is so incredible. I didn't have that kind of father and I believe I suffered for it. It wasn't all his fault because his dad didn't set the example for him. These children will not forget the example both parents set for them and will be there for them as they get older as well as doing the same for their own children.

You help him, teach him, and keep him safe. I just wanted to let you know how awesome I think you are.

    If you're worried about the water lines freezing use compressed air to blown them out for winter. Many sprinkler systems are designed to be winterized this way.

    Happy Mother's Day Rebekha! You are a great mom! Nice water distribution for your pigs, trees, and future pastures. Nice "Ditch Witch" implement! That's great that you can put your water lines in the ground to protect them. That was so cute when Gideon was riding the bike next to Sally and you asked him if he wanted a ride! Wow frost! I'm glad you re-did the layer chick situation. The piglets are sure getting big! Too bad Lily is sick. I hope she feels better soon! They are going to kiln dry those boards from your trees to build your cabinetry for your remodel? Wow, that fully loaded trailer of logs got across the bridge! Wow, water! Royal snuck in! Nice, you are doing some videos on goat care! I like goats for weed control on our property. Thank you Rhodes family for doing these videos! Yay, you got the water going again!

    Re: Your water piping issues. Put them at least 4 inches below frost line. Regarding valves and T Points Think about just getting some 12" plastic culvert pipe and cut them into bits that will reach down from ground level to your T points and valves. Cap them with a overlapping wooden lid. Use a square form with arms extending outward from the center but cutoff before they would exceed your 12" circumference of the culvert pipe.Flip this over and those arms would help keep it in place over the culvert pipe. Paint them a bright color for easy visibility. This gives you access and yet will help keep the joints and valves safe from damage. Oh You will need to fill the pipe with either actual insulation or hay filling it up to keep them from from freezing during winter weather.

    When our home was built the electrical lines after laid were filled about 6” the whole length then a layer of crushed rocks were laid the entire line length. After that the trench was filled. This gives future dig an indication to stop and dig by hand from there. It prevents future line damages. Has worked well for when the lines need to be exposed. The same method was used for water.
