A Problem In The Bathroom [New Evolve Water Softener System To The Rescue]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2022
- We had a little trouble with our water softener and rusty hard water so it was time to attempt a DIY repair. This video also serves as a catch up video to talk about what we've been doing lately and what projects are coming up in the future on this channel.
If interested in hats, please email us at: DigDriveDIY@gmail.com and we will send you a list of what we have. Hopefully have a merch website soon!
Thanks!!! - Навчання та стиль
I love your stories. Especially when you share the lovely family life that you have. You and Kara are a great example to our younger generation.
Neil - This is one of my favorite channels. I've mentioned in the past how I think (from top to bottom) you put out some of the most solid, wholesome and enjoyable content that I've run across. Thank you again!
Appreciate it Rob 😊
I came for the pond videos and stayed for the family. I love how you get the girls and your wife involved in all that you do. There’s just so much love and dedication in your family. I hope that I was half the dad that you are when my kids were growing up.
I appreciate the fact that this is just a real channel. You allowed us to be part of your family. Much appreciated my friend.
Matt
Many thanks my friend!
Neil, never be sorry about a proud dad moment. Being a dad (and mom) is the most important job we could ever have. I had a 250' deep well with bacterial iron. I knew immediately when the MULTIPLE filters and softeners were faulty. The laundry turns orange, and the water is visibly cloudy. I ended up designing a system myself. It had an air contact tank, an automatic backwash system, and filters. I tried softeners, reverse osmosis systems. I had so much iron that these systems would plug up in less than a week. Good luck with your new softener.
Wow, that's bad. Good on you for your own system. Thanks for tuning in friend.
Neil, I came over from Captain Kleeman’s channel when you converted his pin on bucket to a QA. Enjoy those family times. My baby girl is 36 and we are as close as ever, because we had those times. Don’t ever apologize for taking family time.
Man I hope that I can say that when mine are 36. Thanks Paul!
I'm from Western Australia and got hooked on your channel through the pond build. I've pretty much watched every video on here. Love the videos you produce and love how the twins are getting raised in the country life.
That's great to hear from you. Thanks for checking out all my videos!
I love the drone shot of the shadows holding hands at the golf course near the end of the video. Really sweet. Loved hearing Ella scream going down the hill and all their giggles.
I thought was a pretty cool shot too. Just happened to catch it in the drone monitor that our shadows were easier to see than we were so thought that would be neat. Thanks Mom!
Not sure how I found this channel but I do enjoy watching. I love how you are letting the girls keep the money for the hats and such.
I had a mowing business for my two boys while they were growing up so they can see how hard a labor job is. It was to encourage them to go to college and get an education so they can make better money and work in a temperature controlled building. They also got to keep 100% of the money they made. It worked for one and they other is coming along as well. I sure do miss the days with them that you are still enjoying with your girls. Time goes by so fast.
We are realizing just how fast it goes. That is cool how you set up the mowing for your boys. Thanks for the support!
Sometimes you have to wait for premium content. No worries. Worth it.
I came to your channel as I’m an 855 owner, and I wanted to see how you utilised your 755 collection. I am envious of your hydraulic scraper blades, and have really enjoyed the rest of your channel. I didn’t realise you had an upload schedule, so keep doing whatever you’re doing, it works for me!
Another great video. Also, never miss the family time… you can never get those special moments back.
Family is far more important than any you tube posting. I feel the pain of iron in the water, had it once, not fun. Thanks for the ride along.
Appreciate it Terry!
Neil, I love watching any and all of your videos no matter what you do them about. The subject of you working with firewood is what got me interested in your channel. I've been heating my house for about 30 years now and I enjoy every minute it takes to keep firewood a head of me. Saves me from going to the gym. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Steve!
One of your videos on your backyard pond popped up on my feed as it’s a dream of mine to have a freshwater pony with fish that I can swim in at some point.
From there your other videos would occasionally pop up and now I’m hooked. I’ve probably watch 100 of your videos in the last couple of months.
Keep up the great work. I live in Southern Indiana too, so I feel extra connected to you!!
Keep those family days and enjoy their laughter and singing, tomorrow you will give them to some deserving young men (that have some big boots to fill).
Man, I hope to put that off as long as possible!!! :)
Your backhoe wood splitter is what brought me to your channel. So very glad it did.
Thanks Ed!
As someone without a family and someone who grew up without a dad I truly enjoy these videos as they are very heart warming. You seem like a great dad and whether the project is small or large, you always tell a great story. Thank you as always for sharing your life and your family with all of us. ❤
The first video's that drew me to your channel were of your garden tractors, I think the very fist one I watched was cleaning up the ball field. I am still impressed by that pull type box grader every time it shows up in a video. Your editing and presentation of anything you do has kept me coming back on a regular basis. Great job!
Thanks Kyle!
What got me here was Captain Kleeman's channel with you modifying his loader. I went in the archives and binge watched your old videos. I enjoyed them! As to why I look forward to your videos, it is because I can relate to things you do on your channel (pretty much everything). Some of what I have done as well in my life. You are creative in these videos and I can see you want to make them "A+" . Keep them coming for as long as you can, I will watch every single one.
Thanks so much Richard. Always enjoy your comments. Kleeman and TTWT are neck and neck.
What brought me to your channel is Not knowing what to expect next and Never a Dull moment
Thanks John!
Neil- my introduction to your channel came from the love of John Deere garden tractors that we both share! You said that even though you know that a machine is probably to small for a task but you love the challenge of trying to accomplish it ,without beating on the equipment, I am absolutely the same I love it!! I love all your videos and watching you and the girls interacting with projects is so refreshing! Can’t wait to meet you someday!! Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see the body work on the dump truck and more camping videos. Take care!
Thanks so much Tyler. I really appreciate hearing someone say they would watch more camping videos. Those videos are the most fun when you get to document something with the family. Thanks for being a great supporter of the channel.
I think "tractor time with Tim" is to blame. Thanks Tim.
Sorry about the chill her in Florida. We had about 74 today.
Bob
The girls did dad proud Neil and to here them giggle in the snow is priceless ,,great content btw Kleeman
Thanks Derek!
Hi Neil a perfect video for a saturday morning with light hangovers. Love that you PLAY with your kids and all your small projekts. Greetings from Denmark
Hello Denmark! 👋
Need to keep playing while they're still willing!
Thanks for saying hi!
I apologize if my novel offended someone. Me pouring my heart out to how much I appreciate this channel over four paragraphs must have upset YT.
Oh no!? It wouldn't upset anyone at all. I very much enjoy reading your comments Susan so very sorry if something happened to what you had written. I didn't see it. Thanks so much for the support. Would love to read it.
@@digdrivediy Okay. I'll give it a go. May take me a while. Thank you for the encouragement.
I came to the channel when you made the quick attachment for Captain Kleaman's bucket.
Your girls sang great. I think we all enjoy singing our favorite song.
I enjoy the video and your faith.
God bless.
Thanks so much Michael!
Neil. Life happens so you gotta go with it and when stuff happens gotta get it done. So fun watching your girls having so much fun in the snow and taking care of hat orders. Your teaching them some great life lessons and your and your wife are awesome parents. Brings back so many memories and enjoy them as before you know it you have an empty house. Believe me I known. I have not been a subscriber for long but always look forward to your videos. Keep letting life happen and I always ice joy the mix of content you do. I can relate to so many of the projects you get into. Thanks 👍✊
Great advice Bob. Thank you sir.
Neil, I don’t often watch UA-cam videos while on a Mexican vacation, but I had no problem watching from the beach this morning.
Oh and intro was awesome.
That. Is. Cool!! 😎 We loved Cancun.
Nice to see the mix of videos featuring work, projects and family adventures. Video quality and editing, very good.
Thanks Richard.
Family first!! Glad you share the fun and the work! Keep up the great work!
I first watched the video of G&K concepts on what you do as your job. Luckily I was able to binge watch and catch up. I don’t mind when you post. The girls are more important. Your editing and story narration is the best.
Thanks a lot Andy. Glad to have you watching along.
I’ve said it before, family friendly content!!! All of your DIY is interesting to me. Your Deere gravel driveway grooming videos initially brought me here. Thanks!!
Thanks Verle!
I smiled so big when you said you were spending time with your family knowing they grow up so fast. My wife and I have just our little pooch at home now and I sure miss the young kids stage, enjoy these times they really do go by too fast.... Love your content and Matt's off road as well as Fab Rats. I lietterly watch no TV any more , just the great content you and some others put out...Thank you
Thanks a lot Vincent.
Watching you with all generations of your family is lovely. And the projects you do as well. I stay in Scotland and love seeing the beautiful landscape of your home.
Excellent video! The girls are only young for so long.
Not sure how I got here but I’m glad I did!
Great editing job! It was a great Indiana snow day. Especially when the following week were in the 40’s. Thanks for sharing your family adventures with us and your DYI projects. I gain valuable ideas and gives me incentive to tackle my own projects.
Glad to have you watching Bob!
What drought me to this cannel - just an honest no thrills family making it happen in this world of earning a living and living our dream - great varied context and just interesting no staged events thanks from Noel in Australia
Thanks Noel!
I first found your channel through the collaboration between you and tractor time with Tim and I’ve been hooked ever since. Keep making the videos but keep continuing to keep your family first. Great stuff
Awesome. Thanks Mike
The 3 F’s.. Faith, Family and Friends! Your doing it right. Glad I found your channel and enjoying all your vids. Blessings sir!
Thank you very much!
Another great Video Neil what keeps me coming back is your honest safe videos I can watch with my daughter with out fear of stuff she shouldn’t see or hear that and after seeing you on tractor time with Tim I figured anyone with a backhoe log splitter dump truck and sthil chainsaws is right up my alley you keep making and I’ll keep watching
Awesome Shane. Love my Stihls!
Found you channel just a week ago - and I have been binge watching your videos since. It is a pleasure to watch your channel. Videos are so well shot and content is great, and most of all you are great story teller! And it was just that 8-hour woodprocessor rental video that got me here and the pallet fork video that made me stay...
Grateful to have you watching Torsten. Thanks!
Hi Neil, I found your channel from your trip to Utah with Matt. I think I mentioned that before. I'm going through your videos in no particular order because they are just wonderful to watch. I love the way everyone helps out and jumps in, wherever needed. You have a beautiful family and I'm glad that they are included in the videos too. Your videos make me smile. Thank you. I hope I'm not commenting too much!
-mike
Hey Mike! You're not commenting too much! I'm just getting caught up on comments and I love them. Thanks for giving my channel a chance.
@@digdrivediy I'm really liking your channel and your content! Please keep it up!
Definitely the dump truck video brought me to the Chanel. Me and my best friend went halfs on a 2005 chevy 3500 dump truck. We basically resurrected it from the grave for projects we both needed it for.
Love the content you share, keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to many.
Very nice of you to say that. Thanks Evan.
Hello Neil, I found your channel when you and Captain Kleeman did the collaboration videos on the quick attach bucket for his 755. You never need to apologize for being proud of your kiddos or for spending time with your family. I enjoy watching the different projects you get into.
Appreciate hearing that Jeffery! Thanks for following along for so long.
Go dad, your Chanel hooked me when I realized how close you live to me, your content keeps me watching. You miss videos for those blondies, I can not think of a better reason. Like I said Go Dad. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Eric!
Found the channel through researching box graders for small garden tractors. It wasn't until months later I found out my friend Don (Florida Deere) also was a subscriber and viewer of your content. I enjoy not just the content of the videos but the delivery as well. I hope as viewers we don't burden you with the feeling of obligation for content creation. The few you tubers I know that produce routine content seem to struggle with topics and time. This is the same for those I know that have 1K subscribers and 100k+. My opinion is the majority of viewers can relate to this video and prioritize life as you appear to. That priority continued is the only expectation and hope I have of you.
I plan to continue to make it my priority. As the audience has become more supportive, I am less worried about meeting every deadline. I'll skip if I have to. I have ideas for tons of videos. Time is in shortest supply. Thanks for such a thoughtful comment Thomas.
I think I came over bc of the Captain Kleeman partnership. I stayed bc of your stories and great channel.
I appreciate that
I have learned alot about grading and driveway construction by watching your channel.
Awesome!
I can’t remember now if it was the backhoe wood splitter or the dog fence burial video with Tim, but it was one of those two that let me discover your channel. You have quickly become one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Love the way you tell stories and edit the videos….and the tractors don’t hurt either! You are way more talented than your subscriber count lets on. Family first!
Thanks a bunch. Mighty nice of you to say.
Always enjoy your videos. As someone with little or no mechanical skills it's fascinating to watch you come up with solutions to problems. Many thanks from England.
Cool, thanks!
WOW! I’am impressed! I was a professional tv videographer for 15 years, and I definitely see progression in shooting and storytelling, it keeps me coming back for more!
I watched a Matt’s off road recovery video, which led me to your channel.
Keep up the good work!.
Thanks! Very kind of you to say. I'm always looking for ways to improve so I'm open to all suggestions from a pro!
That's so cool that you mention MORR and we did a little spoof on them in this video. We just submitted an entry to their 1 million subscriber giveaway contest.
Thanks for watching!
You’re already doing all the things taught to me, biggest being, put the camera into whatever you’re doing, so the viewer feels like their there, I would give you an A+ for that!
I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work.
AWESOME Neil ! Simply AWESOME. You certainly have a full plate, BUT you are one lucky guy.
For sure. Grateful every day. Thanks SW.
First video was the firewood processor. Since then I have gone back and watched the rest!
Love it.
Good family fun all around! I like the DIY stuff, more build less talk, however your channel is great! Keep it up.
And yet another fine quality video brought to you by Dig-Drive-DIY keep um coming Neil !!!
Thank you kindly!
Something different in each of your videos…
This was a great video mix of your activities…, great family togetherness..!
Thank you sir.
Thank you Gregg.
Came here from Watch Wes Work. Just today this is the first of your videos I have watched. The kids getting pulled by the quad looked fun!
Well I really appreciate you coming over to check it out. That Wes is a terrific guy and I hope to meet up with him again soon. Thanks for saying Hi!
This is most definitely my favorite channel by far, your backhoe and tractor videos attracted me first but all the other random things you do I enjoy as well, I like doing a lot of the same things too so naturally I enjoy the videos every week
Really appreciate that Kaleb!
Family should always come first. Your video of your dump trucks caught my attention and I have been hooked ever since. I have a '97 F-350 that I am hoping to convert to dump soon and your big truck would be my dream.
Alright! One point for the dump truck video 😂. So cool!
Awe some good video again Neil the my fire wood busine Is growing lil bit at time now god bless you n your family
Hello guys i followed Andrew Camaratta, Mat offroad and you tube randomely proposed your video, a great choice, now i have more videos to watch and i just love them. Tks Neil and family DDDIY!
That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching! Did you see the video where I visited Matt's Off Road Recovery last year? That was pretty awesome! Thanks for saying hi!
I’ve binge watched almost all of your videos in the past 2 days and I can’t stop😂
Haha! That's awesome Jace! Really appreciate you watching!
Came across your channel via the firewood processor video. You guys are now part of my regular rotation.
Great!
Neil - Came over to here from Capt. Kleeman's channel, after you made the quick attack for his 755, and I have not regretted one moment.
Awesome. Thanks Joel. Another point for Kleeman 😊
Good to see you sledding and having fun with the kids. I lost my dad back in 1994 and he always said no matter what,"family comes first". As always, I enjoy your videos.
Thanks Dean!
nice to see what's happening and not all the same. Have fun, I do watching.
Come via Watch Was Work and stayed because of the variety so far, relaxed channel with good people on it..
Excellent. Thanks!
Papas girls can SANG! I believe the music video was foreshadowing....? You made a great point to remember... These are the years to do repairs/upgrades around the home and garage etc. Hopefully the channel can help with that!
I may be biased but I agree about their singing! I'm thankful that the YT project can help out with a few of those upgrades. Going on 20 years since we remodeled the house so things are starting to fail. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video Neil! Nice behind the scenes view of your merch distribution. I love my hat btw. Keep the great content coming!
Thanks so much Chris! Glad you enjoy the hat. Thanks for your support!
From one rural living "Iron fighter" to another, a product called Iron Out will be your best friend. Fill the dishwasher soap dispenser and run a normal cycle. It will look as clean as the day you bought it without any scrubbing. I also make a spray bottle for shower walls.
I think the stump removal with your backhoe was the first. Definitely a super fan since. You are a fine example of what a son, husband and father should be. Thanks for sharing your story. And as you say, hopefully I'll be lucky enough to see your story continue.
Michael
Neil's Mom thanks you for the iron out suggestion. While we use it in the softener, I never knew it could be used for cleaning. Do you use it full strength in the spray bottle?
Wow. Thanks Michael. Very kind of you to say.
@@marykoch5168 1/2 cup to a quart of water in the spray bottle. You will see the iron melt off of any surface as you spray.
Cheers Neil! I stumbled onto your channel a year or so ago, but have recently been watching quite a few vids from your back catalog. I was probably served up your content from searching for DIY fixes and JD tractor fun. Good stuff! I don’t know how you find all the hours!
But what I really like is your positive attitude and kind heart.
You’re doing it right Sir. Keep it up.
Thanks for the kind words and I really appreciate you watching. I love getting a comment on an older video like this.
As usual, enjoyed your video, have a good week.
Great video. Sometimes everyone needs a little break. Take care.
Thanks Jeff.
Great to see your family video keep the videos coming great to teach your girls some good life skills
MORR looks like great fun
I came to your channel as a John Deere 770 owner and my searches landed me on you. I am glad it did, you challenge me to make better videos. It is not working at the moment so I need to you challenge me a little more. The content you enjoyed the last few weeks (family time) is the best content available and no editing required. Soak it up and get back to us when time allows - we will be here. Oh BTW, how do I get in touch with your merchandise dept.? I just had some shirts printed and we need to work out a trade once you get shirts. ;-)
Thank you always so much. I appreciate the support. It is tough to get out there and record sometimes but you just have to keep grinding away at it.
If you'd like to see what we have as far as the merch then you can email us at DigDriveDIY@gmail.com. We might be able to do some horse tradin'!
Thanks again for watching!
Neil
Great video, I really enjoy the videos with the family, and behind the scenes so to speak. Your videos come across as very genuine, and as some one who has their priorities in the right order. Thank you for putting in the time and effort to share this part of your life with us. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to the next one!
Thanks a lot Mike. These kind of comments really mean a lot and thanks for taking the time to send it.
I found your channel by looking up "how to make fire wood fast" and I saw the fire wood processing video
That's awesome :)
I think I started watching your channel after I came across one of the gravel driveway/grader videos and I really liked the way you make your videos. I’ve since gone back and watched a bunch of your stuff and you are really starting to rub off on me. I constantly find myself searching fb marketplace for 80’s John Deere compact tractors and dump trucks 😆. Keep making content, whatever it is, I’ll watch it. 👍🏼
I might have found your channel thru Matt's off road recovery. It was definitely a UA-cam 'er
Hey, lucky you got your water problem solved.
The video that caught me was on repairing the driveways, because we have problems with our gravel/dirt roads up here. Got stuck because of the sympathy and the DIY projects on your channel.
Greetings from Germany ;)
That's neat to hear Andreas. Thanks for tuning in!
Michigan Snowmobild video brought me to your channel…tractors kept me
Awesome! Thanks!
You were on one of Tractor time with Tim’s videos and that’s what brought me over to your channel. I really enjoy your videos and thanks for making them.
Awesome 👍🏻. More TTWT credits!
Congratulations on your go giver award Neil! From my prospective you have your priorities in the proper order 😉. Time flys and like you said in the video “ way more important “. They will be gone in a blink of an eye. Keep up the great work. Take care my friend
Thanks so much Mike.
I’ve been watching for almost a year now and it was another channel that mentioned ur channel and I checked it out along with 3 or 4 other ones and been here every sence I enjoy it because it is a lot of stuff like I did when my family was younger now it just takes me back to some good memories and I enjoy that with the way things r today so thanks for what ya do and I’ll keep watching
Thanks Gary!
Your tractor addiction video is how I found you. I was interested because I am from Van Wert and had a JD955. I have been in the Philippines since 2009 and do NOT miss the snow at all.
That's awesome Don! Glad to hear from you. I see you've commented on quite a few videos and I appreciate it very much!
"Can't get these days back"; words of wisdom!! You're doing it right sir!! I think I first saw you in a TTWT video; but I don't believe I followed you from that; in the end, it was just the YT algorithm that suggested a video that interested me, and now I'm sub'd!!
Really appreciate it Ron.
Love the channel. I believe what brought me to your channel was the grader box build video.. Then I got hooked on the John Deere videos. Keep up the great content. Can’t wait to see the dump truck rebuild.
Thanks! Glad to hear a few folks interested in the dump truck.
I can't believe you only have 54k subs. Your creativity is truly unique. I'm a new subscriber so I'm still binge watching. Keep up the great content.
Well I really appreciate that sentiment! I'm hoping to keep growing so fingers crossed. Thanks for checking out my videos and dropping a nice comment.
First time viewer and great video. So great to watch a down to earth family doing what they do in life.
Wow. Thanks Robert!
I just recently learned of your channel through "Hometown Acres" and I must say that I am glad I did. I have started getting caught up on your past video's and I have to say I am really enjoying them. As I was watching them I just felt like you were in Indiana (a fellow Hoosier) , and without looking into your about info I find out that you are. I am located in Hamilton county myself. I just wanted to say thank you for making such great content , and I wanted to just let you know I really enjoy it. The added fact that you share your family life and we see the joy you all bring each other is just a bonus. Thanks again for sharing your life stories with us.
Hey, thanks so much Steve! I'm really glad you took the time to check out the channel and it's always great hearing from a fellow Hoosier! I hope you find some more stuff that you enjoy here and maybe I'll see you around in the comments again.
👍
I was introduced to you by Tractor Time with Tim. I am sporadic in my watching of any UA-cam channel, however there are a few like yours, where I watch all the videos at some point in time.
I am really appreciating seeing your comments Scott! You're really working through a lot of these videos. You're keeping my comments alive for the time being and I missed an upload last week so I really appreciate it.
Don't feel guilty when life gets in the way of regular uploads. I feel like the videos that are made organically always are more entertaining anyways!
Great feedback. Thanks!
Keep coming back to see what’s new. It all started with the using old John’ Deere compact tractors. I keep watching the 755 loader quick attach video. Soon I will be making one for my 855.
Excellent 👍🏻
I just enjoy all your videos because you show and explain things so clearly warts and all! Can't remember how I found the channel may have been firewood processing. Wouldn't stress about the outro Ron Pratt keeps his simple "Thanks for watching and God bless:. Amazon had better watch out your girls look committed. Best wishes from the UK.
Thanks Peter!
Hi Neil. First off I want to say I love watching your videos, am I always look forward to the next one. As far as how I discovered your channel, I believe I was searching for John Deere garden tractor attachments and one of your videos was recommended. I checked out the other videos that you had posted and was hooked from there. Keep up the great work, and I can’t wait for the next video to come out. Thanks again, Brian.
Thanks for dropping a wonderful comment Brian. I appreciate you watching and liking the work here.
My week is complete, Dig,Drive,DIY had posted a new video. Another fantastic video well worth the wait. Keep up the great work.
Appreciate it Gordon.
Hello from the Netherlands Koch Family .
I don't remember what I saw first, the collaboration between you and Captain Kleeman or the pallet forks on the backho?
but one of those two was what brought me to your channel .
thanks for the video Neil . Stay Safe and Healthy Koch Family
Thanks Hollanduck! Always enjoy hearing from you :)
i'm new to this channel, been watching at least one video every day (it's more like two) for the last few weeks, i'm not connected to rural life but i love the vibe, youtube recommended your vid about getting the wood splitter for eight hours and here i am
This is my favorite type of comment! I love to hear from folks that aren't necessarily living this lifestyle and finding out that they enjoy the video too. Thanks so much for checking it out and letting me know about it. Oh and thanks so much for watching More videos after that splitter video! That video has brought me lots of new eyes.
@@digdrivediy I wasn't expecting a response from you but thank you and looking forward to more content
