Shed to Cottage Rainwater Off-Grid Harvesting Setup Pt - 2 Water!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2021
- What an incredible delight to learn how to obtain free water in the desert. We had an amazing monsoon season and I captured much more water from my 200 sq ft shed to cabin than I had anticipated. Check out the construction of the catchment system I used.
My fantastic solar water pump (stay tuned for its hookup) can be purchased here:

Thanks for watching!

There is nothing better than hearing that sound of water trickling/pouring into your tanks..........
Kerry you are so so correct! Can hardly wait for the next rain!
I love your pioneer spirit Don, free water...the way The Almighty intended...great job!
It's so fantastic to have an affordable solution to the need for water.
Against my ground that looks so soft... Digging envy
hmm. Of course now I am curious as to where you live and what the ground is like!
I love the work you're doing. I have a healthy envy of your lifestyle. It is free with capital letters, as they say in my land. Can't wait to see the new videos, sharing your experiences, make us enjoy them as if they were ours. Cheers and strength, dear Don!
Thanks for such wonderful comments and yes it's amazing to have the opportunity to slip out from under the slavery of big corporate electrical/water etc.
Very good job. To get self sufficient with water is a must if you want to save money, and live as frugal as possible.
Yes water is precious here and even today I was cheering on the clouds hoping it would rain.
We have missed you!
Thats really kind AMarie. Thanks as always for your faithful support.
Rain on the desert is a beautiful sound. It smells good too!
Wow your so correct. Love that smell! Reminds me of tropics.
Great work Don !!! So glad to see a new video. I hope you have a fantastic weekend 😀
Thanks a ton! Always super to see you here!
It's really great to see the results of all your hard work come together Don!
Thanks so very much Steve! So appreciate you being here to watch!
I learn a lot from you...especially to be patient and keep a sense of humor.
Thanks so much for watching Shelley.
❤😅love how you share the good, the bad, and the ugly😘👍good pictures of that snake too...my neighbor down the street has a Butchart Garden style, she has forgotten more than I will ever learn about gardening❤, I was visiting her one morning, and to visit with her, you have to talk while she is gardening(she wears coveralls), so I'm standing there and catch some movement out of the corner of my eye. I look and all these meticulously pruned shrubs, are covered on the top - with garter snakes sunning themselves!!! Dozens!!!! Now when I see a snake, I call that gardening time - d.o.n.e!! And I run into the house, lol!! But snakes, especially here, are GOOD for the garden, they eat slugs!!! 🤢, anyhoo, I am learning to want snakes in my yard now!!! We have a 250gal water tank that we need to set up. I want to put it at our 18x20 shed. But the shed needs a new roof! Arg, my friend calls these projects of mine, Draining The Swamp...he says you gotta clear the crocodiles out of the way🙃🙂🐊
Thanks for your super comments Jane! Yep a major reason for showing all of the learning curves and re-dos and mistakes is to help others avoid them. Also to encourage people not to fall into the trap of thinking that if your not a professional plumber, construction person you need to call them every time. All about being frugal and the fun of learning! Yep love my King snakes. Have seen 3 so far.
Great job. You never know the value of water till you have to haul it!
Very true Jeff! I am chomping at the bit to have more water surface and harvest even more rainwater.
Very glad to see you back!!
So delighted you have hung in there and are still watching Pieter!
I’m glad you had a vacation, Don. Looking forward to the next video. Your piece of paradise just gets better and better.
Thanks Marjorie! Hope you get to find a great place in Arizona as well if that is the desire of your heart. No matter what you are always welcome to come back for a visit!
Great job.. So proud of your senior power.
Ken your comments are always so encouraging. Many thanks!
Great job and glad to see you back
Thanks for watching Charlene!
Water harvesting worked well . Solar will be good as I have a solar lights but not sure where to catch most of the light.
Also reference your third attempt on pipe, in England we say third time lucky 🤗.
Simon Seddon 🇬🇧😀
Third time lucky. I will remember that Simon! So delighted to see familiar folks like you still watching me mate.
@@affordabledesertliving3487
Interested in how you are managing being independent. Positive upbeat when dealing with problems.l wish we could swap I will send you all my rain in last 6 weeks only 1 week of dry weather and you send me your beautiful sunshine.
😁 Simon Seddon 🇬🇧😀
@@simonseddon5270 That would be super to grab more of your rain. I do love the sunshine no question but could use some more rain for sure. Many thanks for your lovely comments!
Roughly lay out the pipe to make sure you have enough pipe and fittings
Ensure access points to clean out airborn sand that will build up in the pipe.
It is easier to work from the guttering to the tank.
Thanks for your kind input John and thanks so much for watching! Cheers!
good job don , i would keep a spare rubber connector , they will dry rot .
Great idea. Good thing is that they are only about $3.00 ea at Ace Hardware.
PVC that is exposed to sunlight should be painted to prevent deterioration from UV light I learned that many years ago from a City of Los Angeles building inspector. Also, the purple primer "melts" or softens the pipe and should only be used on the thicker pvc, and not class pipe. Red Hot Blue Glue eliminates that step, but is more costly. I just found your channel and subscribed.
Lynn the PVC is buried as you can see for the most part. The exposed stuff is all painted. Everyone I consulted about Schedule 40 PVC told me its super tough and thick and to use purple primer and glue. Just going by the experts. Delighted you came by and subscribed. Thanks!
Brian and I watched this together this morning. You did a great job! It’s OK to make mistakes because nobody is perfect. ❤️😊
Thanks for watching it all Pam and Brian! So appreciate your faithful watching of all of these! and of course great to visit as well!
Very good job on the water collection system. Your king snake was beautiful and very good to have around.
Thanks so much Sandra and yes the king was gorgeous. I saw 2 others as well!
Hope you enjoyed your trip to Yosemite. Love the free water.
Was so great to spend time with my mates RVbadlands. Yep isnt free water great?
Best wishes from the Midlands of England. I wish you all the luck in the World. Stay safe...
Such a lovely comment and much appreciated. Thanks so much Dobbo2958!
I'm disappointed that UA-cam didn't notify me that you had a new video up! I have the bell clicked to all notifications too, and I heard not a thing for the last 3 videos. I had to go hunting for your channel because I hadn't seen any updates in a while. Was glad the big cat visitor hadn't gotten ahold of you! Also delighted to see what other fun you've been having out there! Looking forward to more adventures on your homestead!
That makes me disappointed as well pandachickenmama! I learned recently that youtube has thwarted email notifications and instead swapped it out for things being done through the mobile youtube app. Personally I am very over this app business. But in the meantime here is what youtube says. I hope its helpful in some way...
If subscribers ring the bell, but turn off UA-cam notifications for their account or mobile app, they won't count toward this metric. Subscribers that “enabled UA-cam notifications” are signed in and can receive notifications on at least one device. These subscribers have turned on account notifications either:
On a computer under Settings and then Notifications and then Channel subscriptions OR
On mobile under Settings and then Notifications and then Subscriptions
and have also enabled UA-cam notifications on at least one device:
For computers, turn on Settings and then Notifications and then Computer notifications
For mobile devices, make sure UA-cam app notifications are enabled within your device’s settings
Same for me.
I am a Master plumber and most of the plumber I have known in the last 47 years didn't do as good a job glueing as you did.
Richard this comment made my day! I am simply stunned to hear you say that. Thanks ever so much!
Good job Don and glad to see another video. But seems you did a lot more digging on that trench than necessary. Although it is good exercise digging. Have you ever thought about building a carport? It would give you a lot more roof space to collect more than double your water supply. Plus it keeps your car out of the hot summer sun. Just a thought. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!
Yes definitely a lot of digging! Part of it was that as you can see I ran both the 3" PVC and the 1 1/4" pipe in the same channel. But next time I will try to work smarter not harder to refine the width of the trench. You are RIGHT ON the money with the idea of a carport. It's in the works but has to happen after a big list of things like. solar, foundation for the building, water hooked up, propane hooked up, drywalling etc. LOL. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you as well!
Hi Don .It`s great to see you posting again. It`s good to get away and have a break, i`m glad you found the time to enjoy yours with your friend.Your rain water harvesting system looks very professional to me. All those joints and no leaks is quite an achievement in itself .Good to see you continuing to be more than capable in your continuing quest to create the prefect little self sufficient piece of heaven to call home.Things are really coming along well mate.Very well done ATB
So appreciate your comments as always Graeme. Really encouraging which means a lot to me mate!
"and it works!" no more attitude lifting words were ever thunkded.. Good Job Don.. 👍
Are you planning on getting another tank anytime in the future.?
Yep super excited Robert and glad the serious labor is done. Yes hoping at some point to do a car port for more catchment and a carport close by to capture even more water! Thanks for watching!
Happy to see back. I've been waiting for a new video.
Thanks so much for waiting for my new one Shawna!
Those rubber connections are called no-hub couplings. I'm eager to see your solar set-up.
Thanks Leonard and thanks for watching! Yep going to be after Christmas when its operational but I am super anxious to have it completed! Stay tuned!
Yep, that's a splendid looking 'splendida' king.. ;^)
Looks like you're doing it right, Sir.. Keep up the good work!
Hi Lane Yep so great to have a Herp person watching my vids! So appreciate you checking them out. This is the 3rd King I found on the property this year. Beautiful animals.
Thanks for sharing this.
Can't wait to see the solar system 😄
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Yep super excited to get it completed. So far about 1/2 done.
Senior power ! Staying active like you do is inspiring ! I have taken up the the off-grid living too, in Apache county Arizona. It's amazing country I love it. Your videos a great ! As a senior citizen I really can appreciate what you are doing ! Thanks for sharing your life with others ! I always look forward to more adventures 👍👍👍👍👍
That is awesome socalives! I hope my videos can be helpful in some way. Off-grid living is definitely the frugal way for us seniors for sure! Lots more adventures coming!
cant wait to see what you having cooking with the solar power!!
So much to learn on that one so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
Looks great Don! We haven't seen any king snakes at our place. 🙂🏜️
I think they like moist dirt as in I have seen 3 so far and they are almost always near some sort of moist dirt situation. Thanks for watching folks and good luck over there with your place too okay?
Great vid, as always, you keep the explanation nice and simple. A friend of mine called it Gods Water.
Although I'm not religious , I think she's right ! I live in the remote South Australian Outback, and it feels like a miracle each time it rains !
Hi Sundancer. I totally agree. God giving us His gift of water. I like that way you expressed that one. By the way one of the most amazing adventures I have had in my life was in the South Australian Outback. A little town called Ceduna. I spent 4 days there in the bush in 47 deg C weather filming Scarlet-chested Parrots.
@@affordabledesertliving3487 A lot of our people head down that way in Summer. It's not much cooler , but at least you can go swimming ! :)
I enjoyed your video Don 🤙🏼😁👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it GreenHorn! So thankful for faith followers like you!
Great job! I set up my own rain water harvesting system on a urban lot in West Texas to start a Food Forest. Love your adventures 💕 Thanks for sharing 👍
That is awesome Scott! Love the idea of a Food Forest!
Will be joining you in West Texas soon Scott! I purchased 220 acres north of Sierra Blanca for a private airport/ranch and can't wait to get out there and start the next stage of my life (a.k.a. retirement!)
@@houstonfirefox Congratulations! I would definitely call that an adventure. 😲 Wish you well. Beautiful country there. If you are from Houston as your name implies you are definitely in for a change of pace 😉 Enjoy!
What brand of solar pump did you get and where did you get it. That is so cool and congratulations
@@kennhurt5636 If you are asking me. My system was gravity fed drip irrigation using zero pressure timers.
Awesome video. Looking forward to the ne t video
Thanks Elaine! It might be something Christmassey. Stay tuned.
Nice idea about using the lettering to line up the pipe. I can’t believe I hadn’t figured that out yet.
So glad that tip was helpful Fort Ranchstead! This was definitely a fun adventure learning plumbing stuff.
Am so happy to see you are doing so well. A step at a time. You seem to have it down pat
Thanks so much mjoinga! Learning as I go to be honest LOL.
Another comment, I seldom used the purple primer on non-pressurized pipes. I hate this stuff as it seems to stain everything in sight. The last house I Saul had a big purple stain on top of the dryer. I won’t say how it got there! The adhesive alone seals it quite well enough if there’s no pressure involved, but the purple primer is absolutely essential if you’re putting together pressurized water pipes.
Thanks Scot! I did spill some purple primer here and there but figured I wanted to make super sure I did a great job of connecting the pipes together so as usual my motto is even if it's overkill its just a bit of money and hard work. I learned something with your comment though. Many thanks!
Hello Don. As an Arizona native, my hats off to you in that at times parched environment and ability to save rain fall. A suggestion from someone who know alit about plumbing mistakes, lol. At your clean out y by your tank, you might want to places some pea gravel or similar rocks underneath your drain area. Otherwise the sandy soil will back fill the pipe. Just a thought. Nice job on the trenching though!
Thanks so much for your comments. I actually placed a PVC cap at the end of the drain area so that no sand/soil can back fill the pipe. I need to clean the dirt in front of the cap out though. The plan is to do that before monsoon starts next year and also flush the whole pipe system with water which I can because of how its set up.
I guarantee, from looking at the size of that trench, you are a working son-of-a-gun… I don’t think I could have done that even in my 20s. Hats-off to you…
Thanks for the high praise Karl. Yep I guess I am kind of old fashioned and thrive on hard labor still even at 67.
Good to hear you are doing well! That is a nice tank!
Thanks Less is More. Yep it's perfect for my needs at the moment.
Really glad to see you’re okay and way to get in some down time! Happy Holidays and keep these videos coming…we love them!
I am so thankful that you and others watch my vids Two Rebels! New vid coming up in a couple of days!
Don. Been watching for a bit and subscribed. One comment on the downspout. I would add a clean out right at the cabin. You let the water fall into the pipe, then let it fill up say 36 inches and then at a 90 you can drop the water into the main supply to the tank. This will allow sediment to fall into the 36 inches of pipe then float to the 90 and then down to the tank.....keeps more fine mud out of the supply line.
Great tip Gary. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the link to the solar pump!
Your so welcome Catherine! I tried it out and with the 4 panels that come with the kit it was gushing water all over the place and threatening to flood my yard LOL. Excited to see it put to work in the future.
Congrats on a great system ,Don! Karen and Bob
Thanks folks! Hope you are doing well! Thinking of you and wishing you well.
Great job with the water system. Please keep posting more videos

Aswome videos and great senior power!! How about gray water systems? so you can water your plants as well.
Esther excellent question! Yep I will run gray water from bathroom sink and shower once they are in. Need to get solar set up and a host of other things first though.
Good job, Don! Picking up a lot of little skills that will be very useful for the future house. Great to see the progress.
Thanks Brian! Hope your straw bales stay dry and your roof is on soon!

Thanks Deb and thanks so much for coming by and watching!
As a thought “desert horizon “ you tuber, put a tee at the down spout then 90 degree off to his tank feed. He dropped a pipe down below the tee with clean out at the bottom. Idea is all the garbage fills the drop down first and most of the crap settles there and water in the main line is cleaner. Just an idea, he is somewhere in the south of az as are you.
Great feedback. Thanks Richard!
Looks like you have good soil there.
I am not totally sure Rick to be honest. But with fertilizer and conditioning perhaps it could be?
glad to know your ok, hope the travel was pleasant for you and friend..
OH it definitely was! My mate from Northern Ireland had a great time and I did as well!
Love it cousin! You have such a soothing tone to your voice. 😊
Thank you so much Patti! Definitely warms my heart to hear that. We all listen to harsh tapes in our head about what kind of person etc. we are so comments from loving others can be like gold. Love you.
@@affordabledesertliving3487 love you too! Can't wait to visit! 😊
I bought a trenching shovel and it makes things so much easier. It is about 18 inches long and 4 or five inches at its widest. You don't have to move as much dirt or hit every rock in the area. The pipes could have been stacked if needed. Now if you're looking for a good work out, I read were ditch digging burned more calories than jogging.
Well I definitely was thankful when the digging was completed but it was a fun workout I will admit. Thanks for the super tip on the trenching shovel!
Nice work Don! Look forward to seeing the solar system.
Thanks so very much Northwest! A lot of the "heavy lifting" of the system is complete but I still have a good bit to go before it's ready! I am so stoked about this setup and I am so so looking forward to keeping the generator stached away for emergencies only.
Nice set up. Thank you for the video.

thanks hvn fun. Appreciate you being here and commenting.
Thanks Don I saw a video where they put the it was a seam in cistern they put it right next to the storm shelter the storm. The guy said that the water from the tank will warm the shelter, help to warm the shelter. I thought that was interesting and he used a he bought another sister and that was broken. Made out of concrete any use that as his storm cellar
interesting stuff John. Thanks for watching.
What happened the 1st time?
The only time you need to worry about the pipe joints leaking after gluing is when the cut isn't straight. Burrs are no big deal. The solvents in the primer and glue melt them off.
You need to connect to the fitting under the filler top. With that open you will get a lot of dirt and evaporation.
Make a sight glass at the house end on the downspout with a bit of clear tube. Keep it shaded to prevent algae.
Hi Charles! There was never really a 1st time. I was so worried it wouldnt work I dry fitted then duct taped it all to experiment to make sure water would dump into the tank. As I mentioned a total newbee to PVC etc. Thanks for all of your thoughtful suggestions!
Well done, quite impressive!
Thanks so much Jacques! Wondering if you are from the Netherlands.
@@affordabledesertliving3487 Hey there. He might be, but more likely from here where I am (I am a "Van der Linde") here in South Africa. We have a lot of dutch influence here, being afrikaans. Hehe.

thanks James but for aesthetic reasons I hope to make this home a rental so wanted the tank a bit hidden to make things nicer.

Always good Don you have done good why would you put it so far away and what is that at the back Solar panels rack i recon long run to the house you loose electricity long runs you know
G'day Kriss hope your having a nice summer. Spoiler alert. Hoping to make the cottage into an airbnb and have another building to live in. For asethetic reasons wanted the tank off a bit so I can disguise it with shrubs etc. The solar rack is about 70 ft from the cabin.
