Good morning/evening to everyone around the world watching the Lumnah Acres channel! Greetings from Kamakura, Japan! 🇯🇵 How’s the weekend treating you so far? I hope you’re all having a good one! 😃🐶👍🏾
Good morning Robert
Gooooood Morning how’s the weather in Japan 🇯🇵 been this year
@@annettegregg8654 Good morning Annette! 😃🐶👍🏾
Howdy Robert! Hope you have a good one too!
Good morning! We definitely have cooler fall air here and busy canning. Put up 30 pints of salsa, pickles today. Hope all is peaceful and well your way 😊
Good morning Lumnah family ☕️ happy Saturday, have a blessed day
Howdy there, Joseph - hope you and yours have a blessed day as well!
@@samvalentine3206 ☕️😎👍
I noticed that the bucket is bent on the tractor. Maybe you should think of getting a Piranha Bar or something similar, if it's not too late.
Al, I think on your the dividing wall that you put in the tank, the holes should have been on the top and not the bottom. not enough time for the solids to settle. Thats the way concrete tanks are made.
Hello Lumnah family and friends! Getting exciting at the OGP!!!
Good Morning Al, Gina, & Olivia! Beautiful sunset!
Good morning from Wexford Ireland 🇮🇪
Gooooood Morning Annette
Howdy there, Annette!
Good morning Annette! I hope all is well with you and your family! Blessings ☕️🌅
maidin mhaith Annette!
Hello Annette hope you have a great weekend!
You should consider getting an above ground 100 gal diesel storage tank, since most of your equipment runs on diesel. Or even one for the bed of your truck that is a combination diesel tank and tool box. Maybe even both.
I was thinking the same thing. It'll definitely come in handy in the future.
Not sure he thinks out that far
At least here, not sure of your laws, that way you can put off road diesel in it at a much cheaper price, too.
One homesteader has a 1,000 gal tank on his property. 100 doesn't last long.
@@evalinawarne1337 100 should be plenty once he is all done building, 1000 you would have to have a truck come out to fill the tank
Good Morning Al and Gina, from Jamaica 🇯🇲🐓🐔🚜🐈🐕🐖🐖Have a great weekend..all on the 500
Howdy Anna! Hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend as well!
@@samvalentine3206 Good Morning Sam. I am going to take another look at my house building plans .We have a Run of 4 openings outside leading to a tilefiied.
Had the sewage people out thinking there would be a lot if sludge...only 2feet water in first tank second one dry?,,
So will check plans. All I know is. The Julie Mango Tree, near the tile field is fruitful every season🥭🥭🥭🤣
That was excellent, it professional and enjoy watching you work, it is hard work but the fruit is coming, wish that you will have a big solar system to power everything, so you will need no outside source of energy or food, you will be a free, wish you luck and happiness, again thank you so much. we love you and family.
We are watching from Illinois. We watch every video. Great work!
looks like the baffle should have the flow through holes should be closer to the top of the tank so the solids do not get to the exit side of the tank but not higher then the fluid level to prevent floaters from crossing over
Thats what i was thinking holes at the top
He installed it per the manufacturer's instructions.
www.roth-america.com/app/uploads/2021/04/Installation-Roth-RMT-Partition.pdf
The holes are in the middle because that’s where the cleanest liquid is. Scum floats at the top solids settle to the bottom
I LOVE TO SEE ALL THE THINGS YOU DO..SO SMART..YOU WORK SO HARD..
You two are one hard working couple. I truly enjoy watching you two on your journey. I don’t think there is anything you two can’t do. Love the progress.
Should get an off road diesel tank for the property & have your fuel delivered or haul it yourself. The savings over the years could be substantial on fuel costs.
Put a light bar front and rear on the tractor… mobile flood light for any work 👍
Good Morning Lumnahs! You two made it look easy. I'm with Gina about fear the tractor would go in the hole.
When installing the 4" Sch40 pipe in the tank, consider chamfering the end of the pipe to make it easier to push through the tight opening. You can also cut a "V" in the pipe end for same result.
I really enjoy watching your vlogs. Can hardly wait for you to start working on the house
you have a wonderful wife and life partner I applaud your family.
Good morning y'all, from the south of Texas.
Hey Al the next cut you have to your septic tank after you put dawn on the fitting that goes into the tank. bevel the outside of your pipe with a disc grinder or a belt sander make sure your bevel is at least 1/2 inch from outside to the inside, then coat it with a 50/50 mix of dawn and water you will be amazed at how fast it will go together.
you popping up out of the septic tank reminded me of woodchuck hunting, when the chucks pop their head out
Enjoy watching you and Gina doing your thing. Love the evening sky view. It's always great to learn something new and apply that skill in daily life. Stay curious Al.
sure looks like you might want that center divider turned over so the holes are on top. Enjoy your content, thanks
Good morning Lumnah family
Gooooood Morning
Great job guys! So beautiful up there!♡♡♡♡
Wow! You make the best instructional videos on the web today. I am so impressed by all of your knowledge Al.
RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!!!! Into the hole it goes!!
Good Morning Al, Gina And Olivia,
Hello Robert, have a great weekend!

Wow that's a full day of hard work!!
Greetings fellow Lumnahs! Have a great weekend!
Gooooood Morning Sam
Hi SAM from MICHIGAN ✝️🛐🌹
Good morning Sam! My weekend is going well and I hope yours is as well! 👍🏻☕️🌅
@@LumnahAcres - 'Morning Gina, Olivia and Al!
@@evalinawarne1337 - Hey there, Evalina!
I know im not the only one to tell you but the baffle seems upside down compared to all other ones i have seen. The one compartment will fill up and over flow to other side when only quarter filled. Hate to see you have to change it after you've used it. Cheers
Holes should be on the high side…you get to do a little swimming to correct. Good idea with the schedule 40 pipe for added strength in the tank. We have one similar. Great job. Thanks for sharing your daily lives & your commitment to your family.
I just checked an installation manual for what I think is the same brand of tank (Roth MultiTank) and it does appear that Al did in fact put the center section (of the 3) upside down. Stay tuned!
I'm sure Gina would vollunteer to do it. heehee
Good Morning from Germantown, Ohio! A beautiful crisp morning!
Gooooood Morning Ohio. Fall is in the air.
Howdy Steve! 65°F here on Long Island where I live...

Good morning everyone. A wonderful 64 degrees in South Texas this morning!
Howdy Frances - nice to see you here!
You should put in two more one for a cache / root cellar the other a small fall back bunker in case of shtf .
Good morning everyone! David from Omaha here. Progress continues at the OGP and plumbing is getting done. Everything is coming along nicely, with a few little bumps along the way. Al and Gina are doing a awesome job! I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Gooooood Morning
Howdy there, David! Hope you and yours have a nice weekend too!
Good morning!

Good morning!
Good morning. God bless Kansas
Beautiful sky! Great job.
WOW GREAT WATER PRESSURE!
Awesome awesome Al Gina and Olivia,
Looking forward to seeing the off-grid tiny house completed and you all moving in. God bless Y'all and have a wonderful weekend folks.
Much peace and love from Northeast Texas 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing this new adventure. Septic job 👍👍👍👍👍🤗
Awesome video....You sure done that deal right for sure....Thank u'all....God peace brother....!
Should’ve put much wider insulation board on top of pipe. Putting on sides can reduce width needed on top. Don’t believe insulation on bottom will do anything. You’re still doing a great job though! Love the videos!
Good Morning, good afternoon and good evening to EVERYBODY, from Queensland, Australia.
Al I’m so glad 😃 you got all the sand, soil any system in before all that water 💧 arrived. Yes! By our time your blog was posted 2 hrs ago that would be about 8.30pm Saturday evening here.
You sure are making great 👍 progress on the New Lumnah Acres. You do look so happy with your progress. Makes me wonder what you would spend your time with if you didn’t have this new property.
Enjoy yourself, have fun. I’ve got to go, God Bless you all and please be sure you have All my love, Ellen.
Queensland, Australia.
If he didn't have this new property he might have to go get a job 🤣🤣🤣👍🇦🇺
nice job on your septic tank burial Al n Gina👍👍👍👍💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good morning. That was a pretty image when you pointed to the sky. Al you have alot of patience to be able to put together everything you do. I'm so impressed .
Good morning Lumnah fam! Waking up to a beautiful 63 degree morning here in southern Texas. Thank you Lord for the refreshment of cooler air. You guys make it all look so easy! Congrats on getting that done before the rain comes. That tank would have been quite the bobber!
Looks like you installed the divider inside tank upside down! Holes should be towards the top of tank not the bottom. Good luck
OOps.
Holes should be most definitely near the top of the tank , not the bottom .
@@brianfisher3991 Keeps solids out of the leech field. Simple fix if the tank doesn't float. here isn't that much water in it yet so off with the boots and get them rotated. Should not even need to be disassembled.
He didn't. He followed the manufacturer's instructions.
www.roth-america.com/app/uploads/2021/04/Installation-Roth-RMT-Partition.pdf
Instructions show the holes at the top. So it's in upside down. Or the camera was upside down....... Im so confused.........
Lumnahs, Hi! From Peebles, Scottish Borders. Great progress. You have done really well with the groundwork. Regards Stephen.
Good Morning! Looked like a really long day there Al. But you got it done. Great Job!
That machanical compactor works great
The word of the day = PROGESS! Bet is feels GREAT! Proud of you Guys. I miss Ms. Lady O.
You guys are amazing! One more thing done! Great job!
Looks good 👍🏻 Gina, I put a perennial flower garden around my septic tank heads. That way I can hide them and it creates a barrier so no one drives over it. Plus you get to enjoy beautiful flowers 🤗 lilies, hostas (which the deer eat😤) salvia,..... I'm sure your a little ways away from flowers but just wanted to plant an idea seed😉
Yeah, I call Hosta deer feed. LOL, but I don't mind too much. God love 'em.
Gary S 😂yep. We have at times 30-40 deer in the yard at a time. Nothing is safe 😂 we love them though. Love having the fawns racing around, nursing from the does bucks sparing. Such a blessing
Just glad you are safely out of that deep hole with no sidewall collapses.
HELLO AL AND GINA HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A NICE WEEKEND AWESOME WORK YOU BOTH ARE DOING CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU STAY TO BUILD YOUR HOME HELLO TO YOUR AMAZING DAUGHTER I DON'T SEE HER WITH YOU AND YOUR WIFE OUTTHERE SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO GO OUTTHERE ANYMORE I REMEMBER WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER SHE ENJOY BEING WITH YOU BOTH ALWAYS
You and Gina,work so hard .Not many peoples can do that.You are amazing.Big respect fo You.I love You
I have often wondered by a four hour task takes all day - yet a day off seems like four hours.
😂 yep. Time flies when you're having fun 😋
Great Job AL & Gina ! 👏
That sure has to be a big relief having that tank in, good job.
Good morning from Grand Forks
Gooooood Morning Grand Forks

The Lumnahs , you can't stop them , you can only hope to contain them ! Your place will be awesome , good work.
Everything is looking great!!👍👍

Good Morning Tony how is it going today good I hope and have a great weekend 😀 👍
@@samvalentine3206 Good Morning Sam.
Good morning. I certainly hope things went better for you than my sister. Her contractor had 800 gal in theirs. Got rain. It popped out. Had to start over. They were to be in the house by end of June. They will be blessed if they are in by end of September. I pray it holds for you. Have a beautiful weekend. Waiting on final inspection for occupancy.
till the tank fills up 60% , let them keep rocks or 4 ft of bricks across the top of the tank so it will
not pop out
@@davelawson2564 thank you. I appreciate it. They did get it securely in the second time. it's just taking forever it seems.
Wouldn't have thought of the rock/frost problem. Very good info!
I think it would probably be a good idea to make sure that your septic system is buried deep enough that as much as possible of it is beneath the frost line as possible, to avoid possible issues with it during the winter. The frost line is how deep freezing temperatures penetrate during the winter.
Such an impressive man, always three steps ahead and efficient without much wasted motion. Very exemplary!
There are some who would disagree!
Good morning! 😊 hooray! Septic tank in the ground 👍 sure is a nice sunset 😆
Howdy there, Agnes!
@@samvalentine3206 G’day Sam 😃
Gooooood Morning yea I wish the camera showed it better
Good morning Sam😀
Goodness me, you've done well getting that pipe in there!
Making lots of progress getting it done.
Did you get the hydraulic hose changed on the excavator ☺️have a wonderful and beautiful weekend 🙏🏻☺️

@@annettegregg8654 Good morning Annette
@@samvalentine3206 Howdy Sam!
You may have to flip that septic baffle. Double-check that. Getting the septic system done is huge! You must be relieved that that's done! Congrats! Now you are ready to rock and roll!
Hello Lumnahs, never thought I would enjoy watching a septic tank installation so much. Great job! 👍👍
...and with the Roth plastic tank it has nice big holes on the corners where you can tie tag lines to guide it into the hole.
Good morning from Sweden! I have heard some people here having trouble with the plastic tanks due to cracks, we where recommended concrete in our soil conditions but we was not allowed to do anything more than seeding afterwards so it was big money to watching someone else do the work
Hi Al and Gina. Sure glad you had everything you needed to take care of the tank. One thing short on, was daylight, and that was out of your control. Each day, your going to have less light, so try and figure that in your projects. 😉 G-D Bless
Howdy there, Angels!
Love watching.
I sure wish your show is a little longer absolutely love it this is Scott at Pleasant Grove
Good afternoon from Germany. I am either improving on my prophesy skills or becoming a hardcore Lumnah Acres fan - when you tightened the ropes around the IVC tote, Al, I knew you would say: "That's not going anywhere!". And you did. Nice ;o))
Good job done today....there is so much work installing this system, I can imagine what the cost would be done by someone else who might not be as careful as y'all. Hope it doesn't rain too much. Have a Blessed weekend everyone.
Can’t wait to see what happens next!
Good morning from West Yorkshire UK Al, Gina and Olivia not forgetting all Lumna coffee club members, I have been following your adventures since you started your workshop build. I am really looking foreword to the tiny house build and loved these last few episodes as I have never seen a system like that installed before. I hope it all goes well and works for you when it is finished. I also love Gina's cooking spot, those suppers look really delish. Thanks for posting your journey. Looking foreword to next Tuesday. See you then. Martin.
Put your garden close to the septic tank so you can put a pump in the liquid side and use the liquid to fertilize the garden.
Man yall are getting it done! Looking great!
It is most likely too late now but When I installed a new septic system where I live the last thing I had to do was put about ten pounds of bacon in the septic tank before closing it up. This is how I was told to introduce the bacteria to the system. that was 15 years ago and it working just fine! I had a little better results with the new well I had drilled. I had to drill to 240 feet but I had 70 gallons a minute output and the water on my old well had 700 parts per million of solids (hard water). The new well came in at 7 parts per million of solids. I have a almond orchard that I use a drip irrigation system to water my trees with. Watching your progress on something you have created has brought back allot of good memories. Best of luck to the both of you!
Nice sunset view.
Thumbs up Al!! 👍😁
It also a bonus that there is no ground water seepage into the septic tank hole. All of your buildings will have no issues with moisture from below. Your slabs should be very stable.
Very efficient in planning and execution and also recorded and prepped video. Not many could outwork this man.
God bless you always Gina and olivia
Good morning everyone 👋🏻 hope you’re all good today 😊
