All videos about our water system: • Pure Living for Life -...
The 2” poly we chose for our off grid gravity fed water system has been an absolute pain in the butt to work with. We were warned that this stuff was challenging, but we didn’t know just HOW challenging! All things considered, we have no regrets using it in our system. Join us as we make the final pull to get this installed… we did it even though the critics said we’d never be able to.

Don't worry about the negative comments guys do what you want your way that's how we all learn keep up the great work but most of all enjoy the journey.
I used to run a lot of wire in buildings and when we put it in a tight conduit the lube was a life saver. The stuff we had was kind of a translucent greenish color and we always just called it "snot"
Seeing the cat makes me smile every time! A good pet just makes you happy!
Reading the comments about use the truck or the winch on the 4 wheeler if you took note of the rope they were using it would have broken with the load that the machinery would have applied but once the rope was able to be removed they replaced it with the chain then the web strapping which has a bigger breaking load.
Agreed, could have used a better rope, or the mule tape (that I admit, I just now learned about from these comments)
Dave B cost maybe
sorry to deny man, but the load applied by the poly is always the same once its moving, since the dinamic friction is stated. so the rope feels the same stress, pulled by the car, the wife or even by the cat
It clearly didn't snap with the force it took to pull it, I don't know what reverse logic school you came from.
I think you guys work so well together. It has to feel great each time you make a big step forward. I like the comments of everyone saying what you should have done but you are the guys that are doing it and if things didn't work out you would have tried something else. I've been watching for a while now and if I have figured out only one thing it is that you guys don't give up. Ice cream looks great and have a great day. Thank you for sharing!
You guys are the most hard working couple I have seen on you tube yet, thumbs up.
I can see the meow helped out a lot! More than mine. Bug a boo was totally milling lumber with his attached milling blades.
Hindsight (it's a wonderful thing) - water is a lubricant for both the pipe and the casing. Would have washed the grit and dust out also. Keep it running and occasionally add cheap dish wash liquid. Well done. You are an inspiration.
Congrats on getting that done! Don't be stingy in the future with the lube, shove big handfuls of lube in there before your pipe or cable goes into the conduit. Also, I'd consider 50% max fill on the conduit but it's relative to distance and total degrees of bend.
Also, be careful if you ever use that rope! If it's twisted up in your poly then you could cut thru your poly the same way you cut thru your pipe with the pull rope. I've never worked with the poly but we used to cut conduit with string or rope when I was a kid. It actually works great in tight spaces.
Hardest working couple ever. Awesome work guys!!
Back when I was putting in utilities we used lots of that lube on bell and spigot large diameter pipe.. good stuff
Congrats, kids. That is a big milestone.
What an accomplishment. Pat's on the back all around.
Good job, lots of work! Sharp edge on the end of the pipe will catch on every little bend and connection. I would have probably tried cutting the neck end off of a plastic bottle and used it on the front end of the pipe as a torpedo tip of sorts with the rope going through the mouth of the neck opening. This eliminates the edges and provides a smooth tapered flowing front tip which you could lube if necessary. Love that cat!
Blowtorch to melt the end a bit and form it into a bit of a dome shape is a more reliable method.
Have done that before with a 3" main. Worked well.
It's also a good idea to lube the conduit by pulling a sponge doped in goop through with the rope first.
Alyssa needs to join a crew team! Great job of pulling that pipe. Congrats guys and thank you for sharing!!!
I don't think most people doubted yall. They were just offering advice and trying to help yall through the whole process.
Just because I hated seeing yall struggle, it may be wise to ask for advice on here before starting a project. I'm sure you got a lot of followers who specialize in different trades who are willing to share some tips and tricks.
I was practicaly clapping when the pipe emerged!!
brother love American?
Yeah!!! Congrats on getting the 2" through. Great day!!!
Im from Texas, and yall talk funny, but dang yall are something else!! Keep it up!!...AWESOME!!
Well done y'all! Glad y'all got that installed!
Love watching you guys figure things out. Don't listen to the negative comments. You are helping anyone who wants to do this by letting us watch you figure out how to do it. It would be a boring channel if you nailed every job first time every time.
Hooray! HUGE accomplishment! Excellent job, guys.
Steve
Very excited for you guys! You've worked hard.
Bearing in mind you guys are doing this all yourself, well done not using the ATV. The human "touch" element means you didn't rip up your Poly or Encasement, surely? A winch may have helped, but you'd still have had to had hands-on. Well done! Grit and motivation won the day(s) :D
So glad you got it out! Great job. Any reason you didn't use the winch on the atv to pull it? The ice-cream looks great 🍦
Thank God you aren't the typical aMerican. You guys earned that when you kicked the system goodbye!
I'm learning so much and will be using it on my system when it's that time. I drilled a well and have most of the parts for my air compressor windmill. I'm using compressed air to pump the water so i don't need to rely on electricity.
good job for not giving up
Congratulations! That was a lot of work, but now you're set.
That was very well done. After all that you two still had it in your hearts to think about your neighbors. Would have loved to see their faces when you all pulled up with ice cream. Maybe a video of you two making it.
why didn't you hook the atv winch up to the rope and use the winch?
Here is a tip. Talk to them personally and educate them, they would appreciate it more being mature about it rather than bagging them in a public forum. Defamation is more damaging to the giver. They are learning as they go like most people do. Try and help than what you are doing right now.
Bruce Lee now I know this guy does not take criticism well. but that was exactly what I was thinking, he has a video on how he installed a winch on his four-wheeler for pulling trees last year and he could use that but instead he'd like to just kill his wife I guess make her work real hard.
he doesn't ask how to do things he talks like he knows how to do everything, and talks about how he gets so frustrated trying to teach her how to do things. then when people make suggestions and comments he puts out the next video and gets all Lippy about people writing comments and how they don't understand.
dear sellingthefarm if you are knowledgeable about solar then offer to help him out and not cut him down.
i guess it is easier to make fun of and disrespect some than it is to help them. oh wait we have a president who won on that platform so your in great company.
i am not saying jessie is right on solar but i am saying your wrong for dissing him for doing what believes is best for his household
Great job guys! You are inspiring!
Hey guys, I just found you a couple of weeks ago. I love your channel and I love what you're doing. I love the fact that you're not afraid to tackle any job and that you're learning as you go. And, it looks like you love each other and love working together. God's blessings upon you.
We literally we holding our breath. Yay for you guys.
Good job folks you kept at it and got it done, now enjoy the rest of your day.
Great job you two I was going to mention using your truck but I figured you had er . I have installed new service pipe under existing drive ways , and side walks using a piece of ridged steel pipe to tow poly pipe using my truck and not my back. If it's and old service you can use old steel pipe to pull new poly through with.
Congrats on progress!
Lube always makes things easier!
Well done U 2 awesome I hope your neighbours were weel blessed with the icecream, keep up the good work. Joe
Amazing effort! Well done to you both
Awesome teamwork both of you did a great job
another step on a life long trip. been watching you since allmost from the start. you guys have stumbled fallen and gotten back up but that is life. you dont claim to be experts on everything but you give it yourbest.
not mentioning names here but someone questioned your lack of knowledge in the comments in reply to someone else. i have even seen a video of someone discussing your lack of knowledge of solor. as has been said haters going to hate. my question is why dis you and not offer to help as far as i can tell.
enjoy life and stay true to yourselves
i used spraying silicone through a leaf blower through the pipe and it worked well. silicone is the same weight as air so it lubricated it all
Another major job done and time for the next step. Congrats for getting it through the casing!
good job you two. hard work always pays off. the more you do, the more you learn.
I absolutely agree about leaving something like Jet Line in the pipe. I could be totally wrong about this, but was that cotton rope being pulled through the pipe? And won't that rot over time?
Great job yall! Nothing can stop you two that is obvious! Cannot wait for more of your journey to be documented
Been 'pulling' for you guys!!! YEAH!!!!!
Great job! I love watching you guys work together
im so happy you have it done.
First of all, job done!!!! 👍
For people that want to do a simalar job:
Always try to do all the cables/tubes in 1 go.
Now you get resistance from the cable/tube already in the conduite, with risk on damage on the already laid cable/tube (burnmarks). Further use lots of lubrication and make the connection between rope and cables/tubes as flexiable and pointy as possible.
two thumbs up, good job, great team work........
Pulling pipe, GET HYPED!
Well done both of you, working so well together got the job done, and I will give you 10 out of 10, just for sheer tenacity!
I was rooting for you guys! Woooo. Didn't seem easy, that's for sure!
Well done guys you did great, i had to do similar years ago with the same type of pipe, i worked in green housing for several years, and had several blocks to pull tubing through buried bellow ground, again awesome job 100 out of 100 :)
great tip for the weeds growing between the hot tub stairs. get a bag of water softener salt and and dump it into a 5 gallon bucket, than pour in 5 gallon of boiling/hot water and let it sit for 24 hours, stir it up and it will be saturated with as much salt as possible, than pour that into a pump spray bottle(weed sprayer) and spray it on the steps. within 24-48 hours all the weeds will be dead and will kill the roots at the soil and the salt in the soil under the stairs will keep them from growing back for a couple years. i do that for my dirt driveway every couple years and works amazing.
the word can't is a great motivator.
You two earned it !" Mmmm !" Ice cream !"🍦 "Great job !" Team work !"👍"👍"👍"👍"👍"👍"👍"
Okay !! Next, I want to see water coming out of the pipe !
Just needed to grease those up with a little butter before you started. I bet it would work!
You made it! Congrats! Hindsight is the best sight but you stuck to it and got 'er done!
I have never done this before so just a question. Would it possibly have been easier to lay the pipe in the conduit 10 feet at a time. Then glue joints as you go or is this the common way of doing it? once again just asking. I have done a lot of other stuff but never ran pipe or wire in conduit to be barried.
Persistence can succeed as you demonstrated. Congrats.
I am amazed at your determination and desire to succeed. Jessie you are a patient man and I admire the deep respect you have for each other. Keep up the great work!
While PVC "pipe" and PVC "conduit" can both glue into the same size couplings, PVC conduit (grey colored) has sweep elbows that are much larger radius. The "sweep elbows" are designed for pulling heavy electrical cables through them without hanging up on sharp bends. Sweep elbows are actually the same material as straight conduit pipe which have been heated and formed into those gradual sweeping curves. If you had known you needed to pull the other pipe through the white pvc? You could have carefully heated the pipe with a electric heat gun to form those gradual curves, or, even just glued in some grey conduit sweep elbows into the run of white pvc. It would have made the job easier. Congratulations on your determination and getting the job done, though. It saved the day.
When I had to run black polyethylene pipe AND electrical wiring out to my well site through ground as rocky as yours I laid it all out in the trench and then separately slipped (one at a time) 10 to 20 foot remnant sections of black corrugated flexible poly drain over the whole mess coupling the corrugated together with duct tape in places.... The rocks and boulders back fill were kept from hurting my water and power lines by the corrugated drain serving as a protective "conduit". The building supply sold me all their corrugated drain remnants cheaply. My "electric lines" were salvaged cable tv mainline co-axial cables (solid copper centers between 8 and 10 gauge thick) I run a 30 amp 240v service 250 feet out to my well and to an RV hookup site for 30 years now with no problems. The cable coax was new on a large spool and purchased cheaply at a salvage place. I ran 3 (a neutral and 2 hot lines).
great video. i was wondering why you didn't use the wheeler to pull the line. and a small amount of water would lube the pipe soap up further . working with underground utilities, gas ,electric and water . we usually pulled the lines with an excavator and although its messy we would lube the lines and pour water in if there was pitch. because the lube is water soluble soap
I remember the power company trying to pull jacketed cable (Cablecon) through a trench made w/ a trencher (not a backhoe/excavator) from the power pole to the service panel. They used their extendable boom that's used for setting poles and attached it to the end of the cable, retract (pulling) ....... worked great.
Good work! I would have tried lots of soapy water to keep everything slippery.
Yeah!! Looks like you made great progress on that system.
Yay!! you got the job done!! I like your videos, and how humble you two are no matter what or who comes your way! I will probably never use 80% of what I have seen on here, but watching you two do it...is fun to watch!
Great job pulling that through!
You are doing great...but then you two knew that.. Awesome!!
Well done! Proud of you guys!
Good job you are awesome , was a hard job but you did it!
on your water pipes this is just a suggestion lay black poly in trench first then slide 4 inch conduit over it down the hill in pieces then glue it together but good work keep it up
Three things. 1st, Good job 2nd, always use mechanical advantage whenever possible 3rd, while winching or using a come along it's always good practice to lay a heavy coat or cloth over the cable to help prevent injury in the even if a cable/line/rope failure.
network cable lube..... WAY easier to apply....
seriously folks, that is hard work. My hats off to you.
Good job, great video. Congratulations
you too did a great job on that pipe
really enjoy watching your vids keep them coming
Thank you guys so much for sharing these vids. Highly entertaining and educational
Never go in dry. Lube is always the best way to go ;)
WOW! Thanks for sharing that! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! I can't get the 1, 2, 3 outta my head!! :)
I have been behind on these. Deluded with water dawn dish washing is by far the best lube you could use.
I m amazed by your team work!!!! You re something else. Good luck for all the work still coming. Cheers from France.
Pleased to see you tackled this aggravating one.
8/10 for the LEWGY!! Higher arch and a little more distance for a perfect 10!
Well done!!
True perseverance! Congratulations.
Congratulations. You did it!
GREAT job, guys!
Congrats!
You might try to use a torch or a hair dryer to bend the 4" pipe to have sweep bend other than a factory elbow. That will make it easier to pull and to install over your lines already pulled.
Did you guys gut a bevel in the edges and try to use that for easier passage?
Can't seem to find out how your cisterns are going to be filled. They seems to be on top of a hill. Is there a spring or creek? Glad to see the pipe pop out at the bottom of the hill.
I hope you closed the ends of the pipe to keep out intruders or mud should you get a sudden gully washer storm? You two work well together.
Congratulations, that's awesome! Job well done. And I love how you share your bounty with your neighbors. You're a real inspiration.
I can vouch for you guys that job is not easy and can cause a few not so nice words to spill from thy lips ...... brings back memories .... well done the two of you
Starring Bugaboo, palletmaster, and keeper of the yard!
Very nice guys. You two work great together. :)
silicone spray may help as well, I have used the spray in a similar way and its worked great for me. There's my 2 cents worth.
Cheers
Congratulations with your job done, it must be very satisfying to archive that goal. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. Love to see your video
