Rainwater Pump House Build - How To ( Part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2023
- Today I'm building the Pump House for my Rainwater Harvesting System. In the video I'll show my framing process, sheeting and trim work, protection for the inlet piping, electrical layout and a little bit of this that and the other! And on the next video I'm going to build a DIY door and add an interesting little combination locking mechanism. Stay tuned!
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

Quality installation.
As an electrician, THANK YOU for the outlet for the light, that one add-on saves more of our lives than you can imagine!
Thank you! That’s how I did it for my shipping container shop.l and in my garage. I figure it’s easier to replace the shop light with plug in types….so no hardwiring needed😊🙏
How so?
WOW! Is this live? I'm listening and there's lightning & thunder,lol. I need to build a pump house for my cistern. Sure glad you go through all the steps! Like the music, also!
Haha….nope, but the weather is very similar to that clip. Love this time of year!
Also, glad you liked the change of music😊🙏
Rustic is the word! I like it. Good job!😊
Yes I’ll take that….thank you! 😊🙏
Just want you to know your influence. Rayobi has replaced my Makita Tools which my son sold when he believed that I would not be up & around nearly 3 years ago - boy did I fool the Doctors & my recovery team. You entertained me during recovery.
That is going to be a great addition and enhancement to the homestead. Economic!
Thank you Jake!😊🙏
Liked the video of the squawl passing through. I could almost feel the cooling air being drawn down.
Yes, that is one of my favorite parts of monsoon season. The changes can be quite drastic…. It went from hot and muggy to cool and refreshing in about an hour.
Joe, you never disappoint with your project builds. I especially like the diamond plate aluminum box...😊
Thank you Manny! Glad you liked it…. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for that and then I saw those scraps sitting around that were close to the sizes I’d need. A little bit of cutting and some rivets later I had a nice durable box to protect them.
Joe - you are absolutely the most skilled, dedicated and resourceful You-Tuber I have the pleasure of viewing on the Tube! Thanks for sharing your projects with us. I sincerely look forward to every video that you post. Please take care and be safe.
Best regards, Lloyd C. in Houston
Thank you Lloyd! But I gotta say I feel pretty basic compared to some of the stuff that other folks put out. But maybe on the resourceful side, I’ll take it😂🙏. Always appreciate you watching and thank you for the kind words!!!!!
i like the splotchy look of the siding. it gives the pump house a rustic look.
I think so too!
Thank you Joe... another great video documenting you infrastructure. Do you have to worry about extended freezing temperatures during winter season.? A suggestion, perhaps a typed sheet of directions on how the pump system works and suggestions on steps to troubleshoot problems for times when you are working and unavailable. Also, consider adding a GFI-C outlet as an added layer of protection.
Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle rains, seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother
Thank you. Yes we do have some periods of extended freezing….,but it’s usually only a few days at most. I think the hardest freeze I’ve ever had in ‘this’ area of arizona was into the teens at night and up to the low twenties in the day. Last for 3 days or so before getting to more mild temps.
However, I have been in the single digits for about a week during an elk hunt in northern arizona though. Cold for this desert transplant🥶
I do like your advice on the instruction a lot!
And my blessings to you and your family as well!
@@homesteadonomics Just thoughts for the others in your absences. Alternatively, it becomes a reminder of what your were thinking for the next upgrade 15 years from now... ;~)
Mr. Joe, you just amaze me. You are an excellent builder on everything you make. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. 🥰💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Thank you so much!! And May God bless you as well!😊🙏
That is pretty much fabulous! 👍
Thank you very much!
Another great build, I was hoping we were going to get a few minutes of lightning and darks sky’s from that thunder storm, we don’t get many like that here in Coleshill West Midlands Uk great video all the same.🇬🇧🇺🇸
I like the way your thought process translates to practical/logical build. Very well done. Sub'd. Content = A+
Important step that you didn't video... step #1, measure the width of your tank. step #2 make your door wider than that width. Start with those two steps and the rest works itself out.
Yep, that IS an important step😂👍
Good point
…or not do that and do the opposite and let us know that Joe is as human as we are 😂😂
@@jaystewart9947 oh trust me….I HAVE done those kinda things more times than I can count😂
True ...or twice is nice 😎
Joe ,there you are ,we were looking for your station we found you. with another workshop on your building expertise 🥳 Great job like Always 👍
Thank you so much! And definitely some workshop stuff coming soon. 😊👍
Always better than before, always more efficient. Upgrades don't mean we didn't do a good job or decent job the first time or two, but that we are always improving.
This is an upgrade that you will be satisfied with for a long time, I'm sure.
Big fan of your attention to detail! The door needs to be bit gritty to match the siding. ❤️
Thanks! I’m still undecided on the door….but it’s gonna be unique….or atleast the latching/locking mechanism will be🤪
Great job buddy! Stay out of the sun amigo! Yuma was blazing hot 2 weeks ago 😂
Thank you Tony! Yes, it is very hot and muggy this time of year….but for the rains, it’s worth it😊🙏
Great job, Joe!
Thank you!
Nicely done Joe! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you very much Fred!
Well done as always.
Thank you!
you are my favorite homesteader on youtube. Im really impressed with what youve accomplished. been dreaming of doing something like this for years but just dont have the money.
Job well done as usual, great video!
Thank you Billy!
Red door would be great! Nice pump house, i am thinking of building something similar for a solar power house.
Well I do have some red paint on hand from a couple recent horse props I made for my daughter…haha. But I don’t think I’d do full red though. But I definitely was to do something kinda interesting🧐😂
Everything is looking great. Hope you’re getting some rain down there. We need it up here in Scottsdale. All the best my friend.
Thank you! And yes, it’s been a slow starting monsoon….but it’s now starting to hit the last few days😊🙏
Outstanding project, Thanks
Thank you!
Always cool content bro!! From Chile 🇨🇱
As a retired telcom tech, may I suggest one or two zip tie buttons & some zip cords to take the strain off the yellow electrical cord that powers your pump.
I always listen to knowledgeable advice like that, so I will definitely do so….thank you😊🙏
Thanks for listening.@@homesteadonomics
I like it, nicely done 👍😁
Thank you Dave!
Another awesome project, Joe!!
Thank you!
Looks great Joe!
Thank you Gregory!😊🙏
Great project. I love building things that allow you to pick up a whole wall by yourself. It’s great to see videos where safety is taken seriously. The main point I didn’t see or hear about was the guttering for this building? Thanks again for sharing and love a building that looks like nothing will have an option to make a home in it!
Thanks Thom! Yes, if I can make it critter proof structure I’m gonna do it. As for guttering….. yep, it’ll get a little gutter at some point. But it’ll be a bit later as I don’t know where I’d route that water to right now.
Awesome job 👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much BL!
Love your builds and ideas!!
That is cool my friend.
Thank you Eduardo!
Always quality content.
great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Joe you are my favorite gray man😉.
A little sad that we’re out of the Pac-12 but the Big12 will be an awesome basketball conference. Bear Down!
😁🙏. Thanks Henry!
And as for the pac12 big12 stuff….I’m so at a loss with this conference switches and all the weirdness that I’m about where I can’t follow it anymore🤪. East coast schools in west coast conferences…. West coast schools in Atlantic conferences….etc,. It’s so confusing 😂
With regards to insulation, if you have any leftover fiberglass batts, just use that. Insulation is really just more about slowing down the temperature change inside the building anyways. And I love The rustic look with the panels.
Thank you, I do as well!😊🙏
Looking good! Great design :) Looking forward to seeing your solar project!
Great content, be looking to the door build.
Awesomeness
More videos please 😃
great video!
Nice work
Another beautiful build. Well done, sir.
nice job sir
Thank you Mario!
Looks good brother ... Im almost done with our mech room .. I want to see ur filters mine are 10" but I want the ceramic filters I just don't want to lose pressure... Keep it up brother looks great......
Thanks! And I’m glad this is aligning with your project too……kind of adds some relevance since you’re all dialed into this subject right now.
I’m still working on figuring what system I’m going to use…. Or piecing one together.
Yeah gotta have the rain water cleaner so it doesn't mess up the pump or our tankless heater...
For your ventilation system, how about a screen covered vent just above the floor at the rear and a "aire hawk" type vent on the roof or front wall. Leave the metal like it is, gives it a "been here for years look".
thank you for the video. maybe paint it blue for water.
I actually did pick up some blue spray paint…haha. Not sure how exactly I’m going to use it yet….accent stripe, lettering….. but I’ll figure something out🤪
I love the 'code', haha
Haha… glad you picked up on that😂👍
now you need a "pump house" cat!
Oh now you’re gonna give me an idea for a cat door in here 😂

Thank you!
Do you have a material list for your pump setup and maybe pump house? Especially you collection to pump and out to storage/distribution? Ty.
No, sorry. I don’t have anything specific listed out. But if you watch those videos you should be able to identify all the components of the pump setup, rainwater layout (in the home system tour video), and some do my QA videos on rainwater.
But since you mention it. I probably ought to do some more updated stuff on these topics😊🙏
no idea if you are in an area of freezing temps, but seems like it would have been better to have the water inlet... inside the pump house? Nice diamond plate box though!!!
Another great build, except for that one barcode sticker on the corner flashing:)
That’s so I can take it back and get a refund 😂
Have you thought about adding solar electric for you home?
I have an would like to eventually. But I don’t have the income to pay for something like that right now. Unfortunately the ‘gov rebates’ don’t apply the same in my area. Aka…they don’t like us ‘rural folks’😂
Also, the programs with companies that do grid tied systems where you lease and layback the system are usually riddle with clauses and oThe things I find troublesome.
But when I do, I will most likely opt for a fully off grid, battery style setup😊
I am gonna make my daughter one of those pvc bows your made which looks super awesome, I already made the jig and have pvc , I’m just curious where you got the foam balls or recommend where to buy and brand , thanks for your time
Funny you mentioned solar: is there a reason you don't power your house with solar? I've always wondered.
The super short and quick answer is money. I don’t have the funds to do it. And my area there aren’t enough rebate funds to make it worthwhile. Most are reserved for municipal areas…..they don’t cater to us ‘rural rednecks’ 🤪. Not to mention there are always strings attached with you deal with gov programs.
Also, I have looked into a few of the ‘solar city’ type outfits that do ‘grid tied’ systems. But aside from the lack of rebates I have found the contractual obligations to be troublesome.
But I would definitely LIKE to do it. Just a matter of funds. And when I am able, my ideal would be to be fully off grid, with batteries. As I wouldn’t be interested in grid tied.
Anyways, hope that made sense…at least a little bit🤪
Ha. You need a rain roof over your diy camper. To keep it safe and also catch more rain water. You say it doesn't get that cold for insulation, but doesn't insulation help with heat also?
For the receptacle that the pump plugs into- would a GFCI be a better option vs a regular receptacle due to a water pump plugged into it?
I’m thinking a door with a frosted glass insert. Painted on the glass.

What do you do about algae build up on the inside of your tanks?
I did not notice you putting any underlayment between the concert and the bottom wood walls. Did you put it or did you forget?
I did not forget, just chose not to. Sometimes that underpayment can trap moisture between the underpayment and the boards. For a house where it is completely sealed and not likely for water infiltrations….it’s a different matter. But for this simple she’d structure that will undoubtedly get some water when I do things like maintenance and have to drain things….there will be an inclusion of moisture past what would be normal. Not the ‘right’ thing….just my thoughts.
@@homesteadonomics I understand your reasoning.
Good job brother. How much did it cost?
Thanks! As for cost…ehhhh I don’t know. You’d have to ask my wife since she pays the bills. Probably $900-$1000 or so.
hello am looking to do this in Arizona any suggestions?
Hello from my farm channel, Joe! Figured I should subscribe on this account too! Mark R Jones
I subbed you! 😊
@kitdriscoll1288 thanks!
Thanks for checking I out Mark…. I’ll go check yours out too😊👍
What happened to the concrete slab that you were going to do at the doorway?
At the 0:44 and 1:00 marks I put text boxes that I opted not to include that in this video….but later in the project
7:40 - Just drill a hole before screwing so wood wont crack - so basic. Also this shack is so primitive, so any drunk guy can fall it xd
Was using nails, not screws…but I guess next time I’ll drill pilot holes for the nails. Thank you!
And yes, it’s a simple shed structure with a pump in it. Nothing fancy. Just a basic structure. Good day to you😂👍
Eey Joe
When will you grow a mustache again and make a video with it?
You know what….it is about that time of year. I’ve got an extended camping trip coming up where I won’t have to shave for work….so that’s always the best way to do it in my opinion…. To “shave it in” so you don’t have to go through awkward stages of people saying….”what is that on your lip”😂
@@homesteadonomics
That's great
Then when the 'stache is fully grown in let us guys see how the mustache looks on video :)
Make sure and keep a minor three pumps on hand, and hardware to see or them, i case something happens, and a surplus of filters as well
