      If he's looking for ideas on how to spend that money quickly before the Tax Man comes knocking.. I hope he buys a small used tractor. Seeing how he does everything alone a tractor will increase his work potential. Plus you can buy all different kinds of attachments that can help him with all his different plans for the base.

      @rnedisc Рік тому +51

      @@Nderak The even neater thing is you can actually look it up! If you google ""vascular resistance trough a pipe" you'll find poiseuille's law. If you google the formula for that law you'll find that it's a term devided by pi * a radius to the power of 4! Which means if the radius is small the resistance is "something" devided by pi*something small to the power of 4. Which leaves you with a large portion of that original something, which means a lot of resistance. So the larger the radius, the more you devide the something, and exponentially at that.
      You just gotta know about the law in the first place I guess.

    You might want to consider building small check dams across the washes that run through your property. They will slow down waterflow when it rains and allow more time for it to soak into the soil. That would help the surrounding vegetation recover from the drought and encourage new growth.

      yea stacking up rocks to create a permeable but slowed down section in many places will keep the water there for longer and allow it to soak into the soil more, as well as trapping sediment. i saw a video on someone who did that for many years and kept that area of land far lusher than nearby land.

    buying a shed for your materials so they don't get wet would be good, maybe an atv to survey your property, also would be cool to turn one of the tanks into a water tower to take full pressure showers, and maybe make an outdoor shower.

    • @dionh70
      @dionh70 Рік тому +13

      He's far more likely to build or even convert yet another tank into a storage shed. He could also place a fresh water tank higher on the hill to deliver the pressure, with a low load water pump to top it off. Far safer than building any sort of structure to hold a tank.

    I second the other comments about check dams to slow runoff. I also heartily endorse the comments recommending the purchase of an excavator, although I strongly suggest that you choose a tracked skid steer with interchangeable attachments, such as a bulldozer blade, vertical auger, backhoe bucket, etc. There's a company called Titan Attachments with an astonishing variety of useful attachments. You could place a fresh water IBC container high up on the hill over your hab complex to provide moderate water pressure, with one or more low-power pumps to fill it back up. To properly store supplies, materials, etc. another large poly tank could be outfitted with shelving, thereby establishing a storage/utility hab. Finally, @theCodyReeder , every one of us admires your persistence, tenacity, can-do mentality, and good-natured cheerfulness.

    If you do go down this route, I'd say the most useful attachments are:
    1. Front end loader with bucket (teeth on the bucket make a big difference)
    2. Pallet forks
    3. Brush hog
    4. Grader blade
    5. Ballast box

    Shop vac systems come in 1.25 and 2.5" hoses, and they are black, so they can both collect solar heat, as well as they will allow more flow than a hose.

    @philliphobkirk6577 Рік тому

    Hey Cody, you might want to use a potting soil instead of a top soil or raised bed soil. The latter are both largely inorganic soils, which you have plenty of. Your soil would benefit most from as much organic matter as you can add, and potting soils are almost entirely organic matter (usually peat moss). I suspect your soil is also basic, so the lower pH of the potting soil would aslo serve to bring the mix closer to neutral.
    I love the videos and am genuinely glad to see you doing so well

      Yes! Arizona has a bunch of irrigation canals that acts as dams. They pool water coming off the hills and create a green belt in the desert of Arizona.

    The Sphinx Months were in more abundance here in the Central Coast of California this summer than I've ever seen before. They are so awesome to see. They come at dusk, and they are all over our Sage bushes. They have become a favorite of ours here in our backyard, including their caterpillars. They are in the garden, and seem to be attracted to our Tomatillo plants.

    If you need to spend that money quick, buy gold, Cody! It's totally something related to your channel anyway. Maybe make some silly excuse like an even bigger gold foil ball or whatever just so it counts as a business expense. You can always easily liquidate the gold anyway for future videos (literally and metaphorically).
