Returning to your video over and over. My project started an about year later of this and didn't go well do to the ....and covid. So now I am planning to continue working on my house and find out this video very useful. Following you on most of the steps. Very go !
Did you consider shoring up the walls when you where in? Trench rescue is usually just a body recovery. Especially using that Tamper. The fire department I work for specializes in “Trench Rescue”. Is the only reason I think about every time I see anyone working in a trench.
I look forward to your videos, great job. Making progress now. Did you ever think about trucking your water in and put it in large tanks inside that tire room you are building in side of hill. You can get by a couple of years until you dig your well. Some people truck their water in permanently. Gravity works and maybe a pump to boost pressure for showers. Allot of work running all that pipe. And adding a holding tank. Trucking water is fairly cheap. You could even buy your own tank to put in back of your trick to haul your own water. Once a month is all you need if not even less. Just an idea. Sometimes the most practical is simple. Good Luck, really liking what you're doing. 👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
for those of you that haven't used the stomper, rammer, jumping jack, compactor... there are three things to make compacting with it easy... 1) make sure you have adicate water in the dirt (that a hand full and squeeze.. it should stay balled up but no water running out). (dry dirt doesn't compact adequately) 2) after you have everything leveled... walk on the dirt.. all of it.. this brings the beginning of compaction up. and stops the machine from burying it self... 3) don't be afraid of the machine... turn the throttle wide open... that's where the machine runs the best... anything less and the machine jumps crazy... when the machine is running good.. i can run it with as little as three fingers.... ******* if at full throttle the machine acts up... it might need a tune up.. or have a dirty air cleaner....
Good job ,Just a thought when you dig a pit dig the outsides first then dig the middle last that way you get a nice square sided pit because the backhoe arm will always go where the less resistance is .Thank you and Take Care.
Came y to watch a video on Septic Systems kind of a Crappy topic LOL. And i was pretty suprised to not only learn some things butto be entertained by great music as well thanks the system. You went with looks pretty straight foward and easy to install
I am really glad you're doing this video. I want to put a 3/4 bath in the shop I am building in Louisiana and I am way too far away from my MODAD to discharge into that. So that leaves me with, possibly 2 options, put in another MODAD or (if the state allows) put in a tank like this. I'll have to do some research. Love what you're doing with the channel.
Best septic system installation that I have viewed so far. I have a tiny house shed conversion underway, with 288sq ft. Not sure if I need a 1500 gallon tank?
How are you filling the tank with water? Did you bring a line over from across the street? A permanent line under the road..... I know you talked about doing that....
@@RedPoppyRanch after you fill it with water and get the tank all buried and covered do you pump the water out or just leave it in there to run out of the leach field
Pro Tip*: use a grizzly to screen the soil you're excavating so that when you back-fill the tank you can keep big rocks out. * I'm not actually a professional tank installer, but I've seen it happen that someone placed the tank then started back-filling and a large rock struck the tank and punched a big hole in it. The tank had to be removed and a new one placed.
I know this is going to sound like a crazy question but how does this not fill up over time do you have to put some type of agent in there to break down the material that goes inside of that septic system or if everytime it gets cool are you supposed to pay someone to come and empty it
Would you by chance have a link to the inlet/outlet tee/seals - Homedepot shows them but doesn't offer them, Norwesco doesn't show them. We bought our tank at Homedeopt. Saved the Norwesco $500 shiping fee but don't seem to carry any of the extra pieces.
question please.... hypothetical question... after you have a compacted bottom of the hole... would or wouldn't it be good to put in a 3-4 inch layer of uncompacted sand to set the tank on and settle into... considering the tank is loaded with water..
How big does the leach field need to be and how deep? Does it get layered with different filter type materials like say different sizes of rock and gravel followed by sand and soil?
one more question....please.. you talked about getting a state approved tank... is there major differences in tanks.... or is it that some haven't spent the money to get the state approval...
Certain states require certain approval ratings on tanks. A tank must be approved in your county depending on what your county requires. Just ask the manufacturer if they make a tank that works where you are. That's what I did.
Nice work and thanks for the insight as I'm doing something very similar on my acreage in Prince George, BC. BTW what is the name and artist on the song you have on this video near the end? Very nice tune.😀
if you have to fill the tank with water , what happens to the tank when you have it pumped over the yrs., it is empty them, sad that you have to have someone on the tax payers tit (inspector) to come out and look t your tank in this free country

Binged watched your show here for about 12 hours yesterday and got this far 🤣 amazing work! Hope to be in your shoes soon!
Support the trench, this is dangerous as the walls fall in and your a dead man.

Absolutely. Although th winters will be tough but this is likely to happen.
Keep up the good work... love seeing the progression
for those of you that haven't used the stomper, rammer, jumping jack, compactor...
there are three things to make compacting with it easy...
1) make sure you have adicate water in the dirt (that a hand full and squeeze.. it should stay balled up but no water running out).

2) after you have everything leveled... walk on the dirt.. all of it.. this brings the beginning of compaction up. and stops the machine from burying it self...
3) don't be afraid of the machine...
turn the throttle wide open...
that's where the machine runs the best...
anything less and the machine jumps crazy...
when the machine is running good..
i can run it with as little as three fingers....
******* if at full throttle the machine acts up...
it might need a tune up.. or have a dirty air cleaner....
Looking good. You are another step closer to your dream house. I also learned a lot, thanks for sharing.
we had the same tank installed 20 years ago and it has held up well
Good job ,Just a thought when you dig a pit dig the outsides first then dig the middle last that way you get a nice square sided pit because the backhoe arm will always go where the less resistance is .Thank you and Take Care.

Awsome, This is the video I've been waiting for.
Looking good, lot of hard work on your part....enjoyed the video.....Living the dream...

Those tools sure looks like they make a tough job easier. Nice work.
I couldn't do it without the right tools.
A lot of work for one man... Great job.

This world needs more men to step up and be spiritual family leaders like you.
good job.
as always good to watch.
Came back and watched this after the latest couple videos......Just wanted to see it being installed and how the area looked compared to now.....
Excellent video series. Learning more and more from you. Thanks!
You could have dug a bit deeper and used pea grave like they do on fiberglass swimming pools. Is that a two compartment tank?
That same septic tank can also be used for emergency shelter and tiny house. I saw it on the Internet.
Oh danny boy! LoL love that song, jim reeves version is my fav, and Erik Clapton guitar solo too.
How much dirt did you have on top of septic tank (i.e., how much space did you leave between ground level and top of two black manholes)?
Well done
Be careful to retain or step out that pit.
Hey there is another eclipse right around the corner on the 8th 👍🏻
How are you filling the tank with water? Did you bring a line over from across the street? A permanent line under the road..... I know you talked about doing that....
Temporary line from the creek

thank you

Next video... It was a wee complicated because of the hill
Please...who is singing that song San Domingo ??? I love that song...
Make sure you put water in it so it doesn’t float out of the hole if it rains
Great video!
one more question....please..

is there major differences in tanks....

Shoulda put water in the tank FIRST then back fill... 1/4 at a time.
Nice work and thanks for the insight as I'm doing something very similar on my acreage in Prince George, BC.
BTW what is the name and artist on the song you have on this video near the end? Very nice tune.😀
Daniel Gunnarsson - Explain Why It Broke Down
Stupid question but what kind of boots are those???
How do you bore the hole for the sewer line from the house to the tank?...do you go thru the foundation or underneath it?
Anyone else notice that the melody in the song while he digs initially sounds like Up in Smoke?
Super job bud your one man crew lol if I was closer to you I would come help for free but I'm in Springfield or
What are you gonna fill the tank with? :)
How is it in your area they allow a septic tank closer then 10 feet to a structure?
What is a proper sized system for large family a family of 5 to 6 people?
Nice
That’s a funny song for installing a septic tank 🤣
Do you do work for other people
you were supposed to fill the tank with water as you filled in the dirt around the sides.
Smart ma,
How do you keep your hat clean?
I was thinking how ironic it would be if you hit a spring and your septic tank hole filled up with water.
Did you get moved into your mother's house yet? You are doing a very good job.
In the process.
👌🤘🇬🇧
Watching closely..... seeing how you apply the new stuff. Not fun having to fix someone else's complete screw ups.....
9 views already?
We were ok until music..lol..thanks for the diy
Geez...People complain about the music...Just hit the mute button ….I like the music .
The music is horrible.
Way to much over dig
if you have to fill the tank with water , what happens to the tank when you have it pumped over the yrs., it is empty them, sad that you have to have someone on the tax payers tit (inspector) to come out and look t your tank in this free country
