- In today's video, Wranglerstar takes on the challenge of repairing damage caused by years of driving equipment across his homestead field. This activity has created grooves in the land, disrupting its ability to flood irrigate properly. The water now follows these grooves, making it difficult to evenly distribute and keep the field watered and green all summer.Will Wranglerstar succeed in restoring the field's natural irrigation? Watch as he attempts to repair the damage, ensure even water flow, and bring new life to the land. Join us on this journey of redemption, growth, and transformation. Don't miss out on the lessons learned and the hard work put into making things right.

Cody the 30amp RV shouldn't be 240v. 30amp RV plugs are 120v. The 50amp RV plugs are split phase 120v. So 120v on 2 separate legs. If your electrician wires your 30amp at 240v you will fry your RV's electrical system.
Came to the comments just to say this exact thing.
What's the minimum height those receptacles have to be off the ground ? Midwest makes rv boxes that have all that self contained
@@Grappler130same, yikes that’s an RV fire waiting to happen!
I just learned this! It popped up as being abnormal during home inspection as 120 volts. Learned after the fact when electrician told me
Yeah, though he's got the right type of plug for the 120v, so shouldn't be an issue. I installed the 30A/240v hookup for my generator to run my house and it's got the four plugs in a circle pattern and twist-lock.
Wranglerstar: "My electrical inspector dropped by today"
Me In The Ozarks: "What's an electrical inspector?"
I installed /maintained fuel pumps and related equipment for convenience stores on n/W Arkansas and Southern Missouri for many years, EVERYTHING is explosion proof. Funniest time was when we were installing the dispensers close to Branson, Mo. Can't remember the town, maybe West plains?? Anyway, the fire chief walked in, looked around and said, "Well, looks like you know what you guys are doing......carry on" He signed the inspection form and left. LOL
Hopefully the electric inspector is the person who keeps the fire and or insurance inspector from ever showing up 🤔
Self-signed for the win.
Silly goose, that's your Uncle Billy, he knows about "lightricity". =)
I'm missing my children a lot because I'm working. They will always remember that I wasn't home much, but they'll also remember that their mom didn't have to work.
I'm gone all the time too. I miss them so much.
30 amp breakers for 15 amp receptacles is pretty wild
The hairpiece is looking extra nice at the end!
yes, isn't it,
Bet it deflects bullets😂
Don’t put 240 to your 30a Rv outlet. Rv’s use a 120v on the 30a outlets. 240v only on the 50a and it must be a 4 pin not a 3 pin like a welder 50a plug. The 50a rv’s use the two individual 120 legs they do not come together for any 240v needs. The neutral that the 4th pin adds is what assures two equal 120v legs.
Nice job on the brace nice and clean and good idea having the breakers outside 👍😎
Cody, get a couple old 22" truck wheels and put them under those hydrants. Fill them with some medium crushed stone. It will prevent the water from making mud holes under the hydrants while also prevent splashing when used without a hose.
The reason you bring the conduit up 4 inches from the pole is it makes it easier when it comes time to replace that pole.
Thank you for that. I was wondering.
In New York we actually strap the conduit tight to the pole. There's no way to keep it 4 in. away
I install primary conduit to utility poles all the time. They want it that way because they use a standoff bracket to support the conduit. it can be adjusted from 4-6"s
Toupee is on-point today.
Great wisdom at the end there! Thank you and God bless you and yours!
Make sure you have proper security for your power station. Maybe SS camera, etc. don't want to be a ev filling station
Cody
Your soliloquy about life and family at the end was awe inspiring especially with that beautiful backdrop.
Thanks for all you do.....
I'm not an electrician so YMMV. The current receptacles for the 120v outlets are 15A receptacles. 20A receptacles have an additional horizontal contact in the center of the left contact. 30A receptacles are locking and circular and probably not what you want. Thanks for the videos.
Amen! God bless you, your family, and your business!
Being a father is the best blessing in the world! Wonderful video as always!
Being a father is the most important job a man can have. It’s what he leaves for society when we are gone. There only little and innocent once cherish the time.
Thankyou Cody. Especially for the last 4 mins of video.
Those new plugs are way to low for an area with snow.
Time and Patience are the two greatest warriors!
Well said at the end thank you for that. ❤
Thanks for your word, it speak to me. God bless
It’s a real pleasure to watch someone take as much pride in their work as you do! Thanks for making such excellent quality content.
I'm a man who is self employed and my wife has been in college and working and I've had my kids every day for the past 14 months it's been difficult at times but it's been nice to watch them grow and teach them and goof around it's been different but I wouldn't change it
God Bless you for giving Sweetloaf the childhood she deserves... you clearly did well in providing the same for Jack as he grew into a man.
I enjoy the electrical stuff, as I did some of my own for my generator hookup to my breaker box.
I completely agree with you about the work/family issue. I came to that a few years ago and while I don't make as much money as I could, I'm there for my wife and son almost every day. I get to coach my son's sports and even just be with him on a daily basis for whatever means something to him. I get to take time to be with my wife every day and am not so overly stressed that I can't enjoy it. I'm living the daily choice to choose experiences over money and I don't regret it. I am tempted sometimes by new material goods, new truck, new tools, land, remodeling our home, etc. But I remember what my time means to my family and I'm back on the right track.
Same.
Thank you for the entertainment and more importantly, your wisdom, sir. I appreciate you.
I think several heavy duty bollards are needed behind the panels. Maybe just a few large rocks set in cement. Don’t want vehicles crashing into it. 🚗
Your wisdom is spot on, do things to the best of your abilities….
Thank you for the words of wisdom at the end there. I will probably never be a business owner. I am thankful for people who have an entrepreneurial mind so there is a place for me to work. I glad your kids get to spend time with you. Looking forward to my own kids and giving them my time aswell.
thanks for all the great videos
The convenience of a small package 👌🏻
I am about your age Cody and I finally have gotten a grip on the bible. My wife bought The Action Bible, which is a comic book style that is making it easy to understand. I appreciate the stories and lesson you share and the pieces are falling into place! Love you man!
You’re 50 and need a comic book Bible?
Don’t mock how another person finds salvation.
@@thejohnhendsome of us are restarted. I find it hard to focus while reading. I jump lines and lose my place all the time. There is a new form of text that allows me to read easily. I forgot the name of it all look it up real quick.
It’s called bionic reading.
@@StephenShreds Kinda like this. Since we tend to focus on those areas (first and last sections) of a word in text anyways
Looking great Cody!
You can’t get in trouble doing your own electrical. I have built 3 houses and wired all 3. As long as the state electrical inspector passes your work. I know the state you are working in. I also live in it. 😉
As a Canadian American amalgamation, the Robertson screw is the superior screw.
As an electrical apprentice - that’s clean and beautiful work. Safe and functional is the priority, but with some time, effort and clearly some skill, it can look great too. You and the electrician are doing great work.
So great having all the amps available for tools, charging, electric fence...
Gotta love those packout boxes !
That power base is OCD at its finest😂
Cody love your attention to detail. God bless you for sharing your insight to the delicate balance between provider and father. I
am an electrical contractor and have one daughter 27. God has always put on my heart to spend as much time with her as
I can. I have even had her right next to me on jobs helping Dad. Then we do what she wants. It seems mostly she just wants to
spend time with me no matter what we are doing. They grow up so fast. Time we can't get back if we don't spend it wisely. Blessings
and prayers for you and your family.
Amazingly neat and fastidious woodwork, highly impressive !👏🏻 👌🏻 💯
I appreciate the quality work you do.
Good luck in the debate! We just got our kids involved in CCA Rhetoric & Debate... Great stuff!
Great Dad!!
Thanks for that great reminder! I have a two year old son and another on the way and working in the trades has kept me away more than I wish. The time that I am home cannot be spent selfishly on myself but should be poured into my child(ren).
The reason to keep the conduit at least 4 inches from the pole is so you don't undermine the dirt that's holding the pole up. My inspector told me 6 inches. So you've already dug too close anyway...
You could use a pinhole obscura Cody, and I’d still love your content! Always in my prayers friend.
Great message at the end of the video. I feel like that was something I needed to hear. Thank you
Looks like a fun project guys!! Been a bit since I checked it!
Cody went full tilt Milwaukee!!! Love it!
I don't know one man that doesn't wish he had spent more time with their kids I wish I had done things differently everyday
Interesting topic that got brought up to me recently, when you’re talking about the impact you make on your children. Im currently attending drill sergeant school and the same topic got brought up in class. I look back to my drill sergeants and how for them it was likely just another day at work. but as a young 18 year old, some of the things they taught me still live in my head as a core memory just over 8 years later. Trying to realize how much what you do is observed and you never know what will stick as a core memory. It’s really easy to downplay yourself as not good enough compared to your predecessors. But there’s a solid chance your predecessors thought the same thing about themselves. Even talking to my father about events throughout my upbringing and things that really affect how i look at the world today. Usually the response from him is how focused he was on something completely different at the time.
Also, get yourself a couple Akaso v50 cameras...they've cheap and come with a coule batteries and charger, etc. They are wonderful.......and yes...winter fat is lovely.
Spring toupee holding on good in that wind
Going on 17 years with my business brain is always pumping. Even when I'll be in Mexico on vacation for a week work will still be going on but it will be by the beach having drinks thankfully.
What Mr Weanglestar teaches is with a concerted effort we can all do good work that will serve us well today and into the future. The only mistakes we make are the ones we are not prepared to correct with our time and effort!
i appreciate the ending comment. im a self employed contractor here in NW oregon. i have a 4 year old son and a wife that stays home with him. i do all i can to make sure that we are good but i need the reminder to step back and raise/hang with my son. thanks
Oh...Probly want that cover up a bit higher above your equipment too. If you ever have to repair/replace/add to it, you will wish you had a bit more space. There is of course working clearance code to go with that but, Im sure your electrician gave you the info there.
i can understand going back and forth with camera's when you see how much better it can be it's hard to go back. what you could do is use both for which occasion calls for it. quick and dirty working videos like this the phone camera works nicely. in depth reviews like tools or in shop could use the professional camera. or maybe vice versa whichever you prefer either way the production quality is always top notch you can absolutely see the love and care going to each of these videos.
will those 50 & 30 boxes not get buried in the snow ?.... most likely right when you need them?
GREAT ending comment about God speaking to you! Appreciate it. 😊
May God Bless You and Your family thank You.
Looks great Cody : True ProHo work :)
Amen to your closing comments. Now in my eighties I have many regrets. However, I am Thankful that God has brought my sons, who are your age, closer to himself than I ever prepared them for.
Yeah, i had to skip that part…
Those electrical inspectors are something else. Those ridiculous codes would change if they had to do the work. Your and your families work looks great so far.
30A to your regular receptacles is a code violation too, the 20's are fine with the 15A outlets or 20A outlets. Also as others have mentioned that 30A should be a 120V the 50A is fine 240V.
That is some very nice work..
FYI the standard size of the freeze proof is 3/4” because you gain zero volume since you reduce the 1” down to a 3/4” hose bib so you still only get 3/4” worth of volume.
The sounds that come with age, man thats life and u done well ❤
In my area, the pole is divided into quarters. 2 of the quarters for residential, 2 of the quarters for utilities. Also, the 4" needs mounted to the pole up 10 feet above finished grade. From there, the power company will install U guard you provide as they take the service conductors up to the utility connection point. Your requirements are obviously different.
Love the troll title for the call in gammas hahaha, well done
"We ain't no scrubs around here." - ProHo
"As long as you don't go chasing waterfalls." - Me
Every time I hear a TLC reference, I think of the movie "The Other Guys". Lol
Thank you Cody for your WWW: Wranglestar's Wise Words, Coda.
I wish i could have gave you some pointers on that pedestal build, as i just did one. I almost approached you at the market yesterday, but didn't feel it was appropriate.
Good luck Jack!
As much as I love and appreciate your cinematography, I feel like as long as you do not compromise on composition switching to your phone will allow you to shoot more Content and I’m sure most people would appreciate that as well. Keep your composition tight and make life easy for yourself. Keep up the work.
Ron Gibson can help you get a land patent on the property. No one can take it then, no taxes, code , permits…
The GFCI receptacles are 15A rated and not 30A. You can have a 30A rated receptacle but they are not in the same plug configuration. if 120V, a 30A rated plug is a NEMA 5-30R, while a 20A rated receptacle is a NEMA 5-20R and can be single or duplex. Further, by code, you can have multiple 15A rated receptacles on a 20A breaker BUT if you have a dedicated single receptacle on a 20A breaker, it MUST be a 20A rated receptacle.
Cody please make that closing statement a short. Words of wisdom brother.
A real man! Time with your daughter when you could easily DO something rather than BE a dad.
DeWalt has battery powered saws that could’ve made this less painful to watch😂
Nice work. Treat those end cuts with some copper naphthenate every 3-5 years and it will outlast you.
The two duplex outlets are both 15 Amp outlets and should come from a 120v 15A single pole breaker.
You can legally wire your own house up here in Alaska, id recommend it. Also "Cozy Cabin" With enough power to run a warehouse? How Cozy
It’s more about the audio than the picture imo. Cody has mastered the audio end. Would love to see that setup.
To add to that the 50amp rv plug provides 100 total amps. Two 50 amp separate circuits in the RV. That is how 2 air conditioners can run on this circuit. One Air conditioner on each 50 amp circuit. FYI for ppl that don't understand. Campgrounds charge more for the 50 amp service because it has the capacity to provide 70 more amps than the 30 amp service.
My OCD is now satisfied with the symmetry of the cross-beams
Sure glad I don't live on the Left Coast. Having to pay Big Brother to inspect your work is something I've only had to do once in my life, and that was when I hired a state licensed plumber to do work I could have done. Enjoying the build!
Electrical Inspectors often just look to find something slightly wrong. So some contractors just leave a few things that they can find and the guy/gal feel good. lol.
A few really do not know basics too. ie Have had an inspector "Require" that all safety stuff be on the same breaker.
So to "pass inspection" they had the contractors have the AC smoke alarms be on GFCI circuits.
So if a porches outside GFCI circuit trips your inside hall AC smoke alarm is unpowered. ie the inspector is stupid and dangerous but the dolt that has the power to say the local utility cannot hook up your meter unless he approves.
The inspector somehow thinks all safety stuff should be on a gfci.
Fence that up and protect it from nefarious mouth breathing oxygen wasters. Protect your homestead and familys well being.
We will, not everything can be done in a day,
@@wranglerstar Of course, i didn't mean to insinuate right now, lol, apologies. love the content, love your guys dedication to living free and happy. Keep it up!! best to you and yours.
the state will find a grievance to make their coin. Make sure that coin is full of lead.
Really diggin your threads
Like Nathan 7478 said, 30amp RV plug has to be 120v. We just learned that lesson the expensive way.
Cody, you live in the wrong state. I know it's where you grew up, but you might consider finding a place that doesn't have so many permits and inspections required. I grew up in California, and I left 20 years ago (although not because of the nanny-state).
There's something to be said for having codes, but some are just micro-management that doesn't matter.
If a man can use a chisel, then we can be friends! Great job with the chisel. Most people shy away from them.
I always chisel all the hinge mortises when I hang a door. Lets me be precise and it’s reasonably fast. I recall some zoomer in my past (I’m a millennial) who wanted to do his work with a jig and router with a busted depth adjustment. He thought a chisel was dumb. He finished after me and made a complete mess of the door. Had to cut multiple pieces of aluminum to shim the hinges back. And you couldn’t teach him anything. He’s probably working at Boeing now.
you should really have a expansion fitting under the electric cab. to be quite honest. they call it a meter slip riser..
Nice set up. I like the way you let in the cross bars. Would have been easier to make the notches with your new Trac- Saw. If you don't like Robertson than why don't you use TORX screws?
I had to take a personal day to go see my daughter today. Best decision I could have made 😊
This is some real ProHo content keep it up bro
East Coast Man wants to know how many more times you are going to mess with your power board.
Until it’s done, East Coast man is not very smart,
@@wranglerstar , East Coast Man isn't very smart, we're extremely smart. Your cabin project is developing nicely.
