Folks take a second here and tell me what you'd like to see more of on the channel....I love what I do...but any suggestions are always welcome! Wooooo!!!
Josh. Tbh I love everything you do in your vlogs they are always informative and interesting. I do like it when you make stuff and when you tinker with the tractors and cars. 👍🏻
I like it all. Makes what I am trying to do on my 3 acres look insignificant. I have tried many of the things you are doing for myself. Some with success, some not so much. Keep it up.
I noticed Wranglerstar was the most popular when he was building stuff and just talking about what he finds meaningful in life. We sort of know what you are doing, but not so much about who you are, where you came from and why you want to build a farm. Camarata is doing stuff, breaking something and then fixing it. It's more of a simpler formula. Either of those is OK, and so is the occasional product shilling. The only channels that haven't worked out are the ones where they stop being humble, or they get prissy with their audience (which is probably really hard to stomach when someone is telling you which end of a cow is the front or whatever...) 😹
This is a great example of why I subscribe to your channel not for the mishaps but because you didn't delete it you left it as a learning experience. You keep your videos real. Love your channel and videos. Continue to "keep it real life" bro
Hey Josh! Dad was a Master Plumber, and all three of his boys got to be Assistants as soon as we were big enough to lug a tool box or use a shovel. It seems like every job started out with digging an exceedingly fine hole and/or ditch, doing the job, then filling the ditch or hole back in! Nice to see that some things haven't changed!
I hope you make very detailed maps for all the pipes and junctions you just installed. Archive it good for your future generations. Having to dig up and trace unmarked water lines at work, proving to be miserable. Glad to see you got it moving smoothly!
You can buy some inexpensive tape that you bury with your pipe that is easily found with an inexpensive metal detector. The tape is also a bright color in the event you dig close to your water line you’ll hopefully see it. I know hindsight is easy but I’m new to your channel I’m enjoying it so far.
Took over the family farm a year ago i can tell you i thought i knew everything but everyday i learn somthing new every day is a different struggle keep the videos coming thanks to your irrigation and solar pump videos i have learned alot
Love your channel. New to it and been enjoying the catch up. My husband was born and raised in the western foot of NC. We moved closer to work 13yrs ago but just recently purchased 20acrs back where he was raised. Not sure what we will do with it, recreation at the moment. Not living there I appreciate your off grid ideas. Solar and water like this would allow us to camp. Thanks for a great video.
Josh, your channel is one of my favorites on UA-cam. I enjoy watching your content because it's a collection of so many different things. You are one of these people that know a lot about a variety of things, and I find that super interesting. You do a great job with keeping it real, and being genuine. Hey, this is what makes your channel great (insert "Woo!" here). There's always something going on at SRF. Keep doing what you do and thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Dude you are so optomistic about everything. I dig it! First time farmer myself, working on 30 acres in north central washington. I enjoyed the video! Much success to you and your farm!
uh...this aint flat buddy....80 feet or so of elevation change on the farm...that's why I got blasted with water...the well was not on...that's pressure from the "fall" of the water
I have done so many things on my farm that made me say you dummy, meaning me. Then take a minute and laugh at myself. If you don’t get hurt or hurt someone then sit down and have a laugh. Josh thinking about doing the same thing on my farm for water in my pastures with a tank on top of the hill in SW Pennsylvania and then use gravity. Glad you didn’t get hurt with all the water pressure coming out of that hose, farmer rod
GOOD THING YOU HAD YOUR GLASSES ON.... YOU COULD HAVE LOST ANY EYE.... OR EVEN BROKEN A TOOTH OR TWO!!! THANK-YOU LORD FOR PROTECTING "STONEY RIDGE FARMER!" : ) Amen Retired, Veteran
Im gonna get wet..Boom...laugh. My pet rock Willie, yes my friend you sure have been rolling out rocks for YEARS. Josh, thank you for all the work and info over the years. Super shop cometh!! $100 truck..yeah
Awsome awsome. Future reference. They make a square access for your shut off. They use them for yard sprinkler systems. This would allow you to replace the valve if it ever gos bad because theres more room then a round access. May just need to make a extension to get down 3' Keep up great work
That's why you may be able to get a sheet metal shop to make you a extension using color clad an then have them insulate it. I'm sure theres other ways then that you could make a extension with. Just food for thought. Love the videos. Keep up great work
Farmers have to be among the most knowledgeable people in the world. You guys have to know a little of everything and be proficient enough to create whatever you need at the time.
Thanks for the video. I install water tanks for a living, and the tank that you have looks to be an above ground tank, which means it is *not* rated to be buried at all, or there is a good chance it will collapse. The only safe way to install a tank and protect it from freezing is to use an underground cistern. I've seen far too many people try to do just this only to have their tank collapse in a few months. You'll notice that underground tanks have support ribbing to keep them structurally sound after burial. This tank does not have support ribs. Underground tanks cannot be used above ground, and above ground tanks cannot be used underground
yeppers...that's why I didn't bury it up very deep...it's only about 16 inches sub grade. Been in place for several years now without issue, but if I let it run dry...it may start to deform
thanks for sharing the video, a swimming pool contractor told me years ago always use Gray PVC cement which stays soft .The blue PVC cement gets too hard and can cause cracks at the glue joints in time . especially around pumps where there is vibration
Hats off to you stoney ridge lmao that kntro made my day josh thankfully your ok and all is well buddy. Also my wife said next time you need a shower just ask we'll let you use ours.
Hey Josh have you thought of having a T handle bar made that is long enough to fit down into your hand hole and can set onto the stim of the valve? That way you can just turn the T handle to open and close the ball valve. We have these at work to open and close valves in our sump pits.
didn't watch the whole vid did ya? lol I made a tool for it....look back a couple vids and you'll see the tool in a "short" I think you'll like what I came up with from some scrap laying around
An easy way to have a handle in tight places like that is to take the handle off and make a new Circle Handle with holes. Then you can make a simple long tool that can get down in where you need with a T handle above the surface that you can easily use to turn your valve deep in the ground. We use this method in an industrial setting alot due to it's relative ease and also to prevent Insect and snake bites. we have a huge issue with scorpions and Black Widows living in these kind if underground access holes for valves and other instruments here in East Texas. we've even made the tool to turn the valves on short notice with just a stick of All Thread, a small metal plate, and some 1/4" nuts and bolts, only tool we used was a drill for the holes for the bolts. a similar tool is commonly called a Water Meter Key.
You got some big boulders there Josh! LOL The farm is appropriately named. I've learned so much watching your vids, which has helped me manage my small 12 acre hobby farm. Thanks!!!
Josh, have you thought about building a shed over the water tank with some of your milled lumber & insulating the hell out of it ? You could also build a hell of a rock wall using all the rocks you keep digging up. Have a great day 😊.
Hopefully your underground valves out-live you man! I bought a place that was built in 1973 and had to change out all the shut off valves because they were all seized and not functional. This was your 1st video I have seen, but I'll check out others!
Josh, is there a small vent hole in the tank? As you fill the tank, air in the tank needs to escape, so as not to build too much pressure, allowing water to fill. You may need an air valve to to off and on, when the solar pump turns off and on.
Have you watched Anchor Brand Ranch? He has waterers everywhere. The pipe runs into a box with float valve. When the box gets full (meaning the water trough is full) the float valve turns the water off. This way you don't have to do it by hand.
you are just seeing the beginings of a self sufficient water tank setup..tune in next week and I'll show you my water trough installs for the cows...we're gonna do 2 different water tank setups...you'll love it...and all this will be totally automated with float valves and such
I Live in northern CAL I have the same tank on my land for over 20 years now - ( it’s buried) it is safe to open the the small lid and let the rain fill the tank ? I’m checked the level it’s drop about 2 feet in 20 years ) we built this house ~
bhahhaha....thanks! That was pretty funny...and I was lucky I didn't hurt myself! Welcome to the channel! I've got a complete water system video coming out soon!
hi there give that big old rock a good PSI wash and paint bobby on it . kind of like that volley ball in the tom hanks movie , up here i have turtles with names . turner it have quite a following . when saw milling getting the log prepped for sawing the mics. the cutoffs lumps and humps sometimes look like turtles . that is how that got started . . when sawing logs and you cut off the butt swell (i know ha ha ) a lot of those are called ironing boards . because a lot of them look like a ironing board , thats a lot of pipe to lay , looks like you also are a one man band , stay in tune you are doing a heck of a job and undertaking john ps you still have that Frick mill and willys . thats the Frick in my name along with Jeep
I'm watching to find out if you put that first stake right on top of a 20' boulder.... 😹 edit: looks like you did find some nice big ones in there, hey Bobby
I see your bolling ball idea and it looks like it could work but I also noticed your drain pipe has a cap on it. Unless you take the cap off and leave it off the tank will not drain. That presents a problem of having a pipe with no cap that a calf can step into and brake a leg.
@Matta he has to keep all the water lines, and especially the valves, below the frost line. The ground freezes and so would the lines and valves if closer to the surface. Remember Josh is building this as close to maintenance free as possible.
yep....that's a solution...but not a very long lasting solution my brotha, cow steps on a bucket lid in the pasture and falls through...probably have to stick with something a little tougher
Josh. I have to say this and I’m sorry. I nearly wet myself laughing when the pipe burst. One of the funniest things I’ve seen for a long, long time. Your getting there though mate. I absolutely loved this Vlog. Wooo getting wet times. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
If you ever do any more in ground applications with water valve try a curb stop valve they work way better and you don't have to bend a ball valve handle. But whatever works for you just here to help.
can't use a curb stop for a water tank like this..it will drain the tank my friend...curb stop valve is $85 v/s $26 ball valve. The frost free mirafount tanks have a curb stop valve ...the ball valves will only be used for the tire water tanks
They make them without drain backs so they won't drain your tank. I do agree with the price difference they are a lot more expensive and your ball valve will be just fine. Anyway keep up the good work I love watching your videos!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer If you turn the ball valve on its side so the lever is in a vertical orientation, and then adust the lever's mounting angle so it's at a 45 degree angle on its mounting bolt (===./.===) instead of a 90 degree one, then a straight rod down the hole and loosely bolted to the end of the lever will let you operate the valve. That way you won't need a special tool, you can just reach in and pull the rod up or down. Same idea as a gearstick coupled to the gearbox with a rod.
yep...take a minute and go back to some of my recent water system vids...it's pretty darn simple...put it in the hold my brotha...make connections like I'm showing ya here...but I'm no "pro plumber" but I take the advice of the pros
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thank you! That pipe is called plex right? Here in Texas the soil moves so much that PVC will break in the summers due to the ground drying up and moving. I heard the plex pipe will move some and wont be as prone to breaking.
Any advise , I don’t have a well and I need to run water into the house gravity won’t generate enough pressure and suggestions I have a cistern that looks like yours , thanks for all your videos , inspirational !!!
Folks take a second here and tell me what you'd like to see more of on the channel....I love what I do...but any suggestions are always welcome! Wooooo!!!
Josh. Tbh I love everything you do in your vlogs they are always informative and interesting. I do like it when you make stuff and when you tinker with the tractors and cars. 👍🏻
I like it all. Makes what I am trying to do on my 3 acres look insignificant. I have tried many of the things you are doing for myself. Some with success, some not so much. Keep it up.
Where did you get that black water pipe?
I noticed Wranglerstar was the most popular when he was building stuff and just talking about what he finds meaningful in life. We sort of know what you are doing, but not so much about who you are, where you came from and why you want to build a farm.
Camarata is doing stuff, breaking something and then fixing it. It's more of a simpler formula. Either of those is OK, and so is the occasional product shilling.
The only channels that haven't worked out are the ones where they stop being humble, or they get prissy with their audience (which is probably really hard to stomach when someone is telling you which end of a cow is the front or whatever...) 😹
sometimes it's just too fun just to say "whoo"!
This is a great example of why I subscribe to your channel not for the mishaps but because you didn't delete it you left it as a learning experience. You keep your videos real. Love your channel and videos. Continue to "keep it real life" bro
I appreciate that
I love how you're able to laugh at yourself and teach at the same time. Great channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey Josh! Dad was a Master Plumber, and all three of his boys got to be Assistants as soon as we were big enough to lug a tool box or use a shovel. It seems like every job started out with digging an exceedingly fine hole and/or ditch, doing the job, then filling the ditch or hole back in! Nice to see that some things haven't changed!
I miss the original SRF music. I was glad to hear it playing on this intro. It's you, it's your channel and it's The Stoney Ridge Farm.
Son and I love the channel. Thanks for sharing not only your experiences but also your knowledge. Keep up the great work Josh and thanks for sharing.
There's something ver soothing about watching a time lapse of a hole being dug.
And the Blooper of the Year award for 2022 goes to Stoney Ridge Farmer!
So it’s like a modern cistern. Using the water pressure built up in the tank and gravity to provide water 💦 to the farm off grid. Amazing!
sorta like having reservoir that acts like a well bladder.
Loved the water blowout it was hysterical. Of course, after I saw you were ok.
So glad you weren’t hurt but that was great and definitely a teaching moment.
I hope you make very detailed maps for all the pipes and junctions you just installed. Archive it good for your future generations. Having to dig up and trace unmarked water lines at work, proving to be miserable. Glad to see you got it moving smoothly!
This is HUGE!!!
remember...I have a video series to fall back on my friend...everything is documented here! Perfect reason to do these vids huh! Woooo!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer very true!! But I'd still suggest a few measurements 😉
You can buy some inexpensive tape that you bury with your pipe that is easily found with an inexpensive metal detector. The tape is also a bright color in the event you dig close to your water line you’ll hopefully see it. I know hindsight is easy but I’m new to your channel I’m enjoying it so far.
Loving this series. Self sufficiency gives me the fizz.

Fantastic blooper !! I'm just rolling on the floor, could not stop laughing, great attitude and content. Thanks for all you do..
Great information. Love how you use quality hardware..
Wow that’s a huge project, love all info and great explanation. The bloopers a great laugh , you got a fantastic sense of humor. God bless
You got all the toys Josh. It’s awesome.
Need them to build this place for sure!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I hear ya. I’m gonna need the same in the next few years. It’s a little overwhelming to think of

I just bought a 2500 gallon potable tank. Looking to us this video as a guide for my project. This tank will be our primary source of water.
Nice watering system Josh.
Im gonna get wet..Boom...laugh.

Super shop cometh!!
$100 truck..yeah
Glad you have a sense of humor - this had to be the best all time blooper. I did laugh out loud - every time I watched it.

Thanks 👍
Josh that was funny with the water line but your ok
I’m glad the line cap did not hit you. That would have really hurt.. keep on farmin!!
Josh, have you thought about building a shed over the water tank with some of your milled lumber & insulating the hell out of it ? You could also build a hell of a rock wall using all the rocks you keep digging up. Have a great day 😊.
that's why I buried it..so I wouldn't have to build and maintain a shed over top of the tank
Hopefully your underground valves out-live you man! I bought a place that was built in 1973 and had to change out all the shut off valves because they were all seized and not functional. This was your 1st video I have seen, but I'll check out others!
I was in the Air Force too brother, you know there are a bunch of jokes in my head about that water spray.......😆
Mostly about the Navy....😂🤣😂🤣😅🤔
i was in North Carolina last week
Great job love watching your videos so enertaining and also informative
Thanks so much!
Minuto 12, el agua casi te saca la cabeza amigo. Con cuidado. Saludos
Josh, is there a small vent hole in the tank? As you fill the tank, air in the tank needs to escape, so as not to build too much pressure, allowing water to fill.
You may need an air valve to to off and on, when the solar pump turns off and on.
yes...the lid is vented
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Josh, thanks for the response. I was sure you had it all covered. I was sitting there thinking. Over thinking actually. 😆
Have you watched Anchor Brand Ranch? He has waterers everywhere. The pipe runs into a box with float valve. When the box gets full (meaning the water trough is full) the float valve turns the water off. This way you don't have to do it by hand.

You rattled that off like you have said that like 300 times. 🤘🏻
It probably was in my head for 600 days before I did the job lol
A glue in fitting sure sounds like future work to me.
yep...not sure why
Swimming hole is the next project
glacial river rocks some good ones.....
I had to subscribe as soon as your hat blew off from the hose 😂😂😂 great video!
bhahhaha....thanks! That was pretty funny...and I was lucky I didn't hurt myself! Welcome to the channel! I've got a complete water system video coming out soon!
Hey Josh, nice set up...I was thinking you might want to drop weld on that nut so it never comes loose. JB weld might work too...Nice Job!
Just what you need, something to wake you up with a nice organic shower 🤣.
hi there give that big old rock a good PSI wash and paint bobby on it . kind of like that volley ball in the tom hanks movie , up here i have turtles with names . turner it have quite a following . when saw milling getting the log prepped for sawing the mics. the cutoffs lumps and humps sometimes look like turtles . that is how that got started . . when sawing logs and you cut off the butt swell (i know ha ha ) a lot of those are called ironing boards . because a lot of them look like a ironing board , thats a lot of pipe to lay , looks like you also are a one man band , stay in tune you are doing a heck of a job and undertaking john ps you still have that Frick mill and willys . thats the Frick in my name along with Jeep
lol...I've got so many rocks on this farm that thing is going off in a hole somewhere lol
Josh , I thought I was going to wet myself when that hose blow your hat off ! LOL 😂🤠
Good thing you had sunglasses on😁
Is there a follow up video on this and how did it work ? Did you fill all the way to ground level with sand or fill with dirt ?
11:52, all you need to know
I loved the three stooges.
I'm watching to find out if you put that first stake right on top of a 20' boulder.... 😹
edit: looks like you did find some nice big ones in there, hey Bobby
I see your bolling ball idea and it looks like it could work but I also noticed your drain pipe has a cap on it. Unless you take the cap off and leave it off the tank will not drain. That presents a problem of having a pipe with no cap that a calf can step into and brake a leg.
yep....it's not totally perfect yet.....the bowling ball idea will only work if I drill a few holes in the drain plug
@Matta he has to keep all the water lines, and especially the valves, below the frost line. The ground freezes and so would the lines and valves if closer to the surface. Remember Josh is building this as close to maintenance free as possible.
Hi.... Josh, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
I use old buckets for valve holes. You just cut a u shape out of the bottom and then you just pop your lid off to access it
yep....that's a solution...but not a very long lasting solution my brotha, cow steps on a bucket lid in the pasture and falls through...probably have to stick with something a little tougher
Smart!
Josh. I have to say this and I’m sorry. I nearly wet myself laughing when the pipe burst. One of the funniest things I’ve seen for a long, long time. Your getting there though mate. I absolutely loved this Vlog. Wooo getting wet times. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
That happens to me, to lower extent when I pressurize water line (winterizing) with hydrant uphill off, I get the blow back and
repeat till it's gone.

Man that intro made me burst out😂
that thumb's really handy.

tarter super duty mineral feeder
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer oh, thank you. I was really struggling with that one.
The black pipe you're using, do you have videos on how to use and install that?
yep...take a minute and go back to some of my recent water system vids...it's pretty darn simple...put it in the hold my brotha...make connections like I'm showing ya here...but I'm no "pro plumber" but I take the advice of the pros
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thank you! That pipe is called plex right? Here in Texas the soil moves so much that PVC will break in the summers due to the ground drying up and moving. I heard the plex pipe will move some and wont be as prone to breaking.
Hey!
wow,lots of air
For that valve can you throw a socket on a long extention to turn it by chance?
probably could...but I made this tool
nice very good , awesome work man , one question how do you get the water into your house from the tank ?
I have a different well for my home..this is for livestock
Any advise , I don’t have a well and I need to run water into the house gravity won’t generate enough pressure and suggestions I have a cistern that looks like yours , thanks for all your videos , inspirational !!!
