Thanks so much! Water is definitely life, as we quickly learned. The spring box is AMAZING and provides us with never ending water!

Fresh water is love. I also like pouring water from clay pots during heat waves, cold and nice.

Your channel was on my home page today so i started to watch. I saw a couple of early ones and i like what i see. My wife and i bought a cabin and 16 acres in n.e. Tennessee 4 1/2 years ago as a weekend summer retirement retreat. We spent 7 months there this year. The rest of the time we are in Florida which is our home. We love the Appalachian lifestyle. The people are incredible. The exposure to nature is exceptional and the ability to commune with ones spiritual side is without compromise. Knowing you are surrounded by people with your values is reassuring. Keep up the videos. I like your tractor. I have a blue one too, a little smaller than yours, but is is right for my needs!

Hi Norm! We are so glad you are enjoying the videos 👏🏻! The area of Tennessee you have a cabin is is gorgeous…not too far from our land! We feel the same as you about the beauty in nature and connecting with likeminded people in the area. We have no doubt that our decision to leave the city and move to God’s country was the best one for all of us!

So glad the spring box worked out so well for you. You handled the adversity well!

We are thrilled with how it worked out, as we now have plenty of water! We wish we would have just done it from the beginning, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Live & learn!

I enjoy the way you always have pictures of nature in your videos. Everyone should stop to smell the rose or have that cup of coffee to enjoy God's handiwork. Keep the videos coming!

Thank you Ken! Taking these videos has definitely forced me to slow down and see the beauty that surrounds us. We will definitely keep them coming, especially on the log cabin…things are starting to move alone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So glad you have water. Can’t function without it.🎄💥🎆🎆🎆

It was a definite challenge! Made us truly appreciate the convenience of having water on a regular basis!

You dug down 850 ft, fracked, and installed purifier, all before you explored an available spring source on your property??? Boy you must really like that pond.

Flow rate is calculated by measuring amount of water collected for one minute.

I love. The German shepherd fur babies.

Your dogs are beautiful happy you getting the water straightened out to bad on the lose of timo and money hi from Melville Saskatchewan have a blessed day

Those pups are our pride and joy. They bring so much fun and love into our lives. It is a bummer about the well, but we are praying that we can salvage something, especially for when we get the animals & need to water them.

So sorry to hear about your well. Lumnah Acres had done this same system on their new property with great success.

The spring box is working great! Thanks for following!

With a spring like this I use pool chlorine to shock the whole system every season when I start hours up at the cabin. I just dump it right into the spring and let the tank fill before I start the whole system up for the year and then flush the coordinated water through the entire system and it has worked perfectly every year. You can probably just check a little bit of pool chlorine inside the Spring box every year marked on the calendar in your phone as a reminder just to sanitize the whole system and when you're doing that to have good looking side the spring box and that'll probably be the only thing you Will ever really have to do

Old country boy on a spring. You should run your power cable in conduit. Use only skd 80 water line , skd 40 is prone to rock punctures.

There's a spri g on my homestead right in the middle of my lower field. I'm looking into capturing the water. Thanksnfor sharing

Good luck! We love the spring box and wish we had chosen it to begin with.

You can always place a filter in the house if you want filtered water.

We have one at the yurt and it is definitely helping! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your honesty! A 800’ borehole tells me there is part of this story not being told? There are winners in this debacle and it’s my guess they drill dry holes for money? Great content and thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas from Bluff Country Iowa! FYI I have been in the well business for 65 years!

Hi Clayton! They stopped drilling at 500 ft and we asked them to keep going…our mistake! We thought for certain we would hit water since there were springs all around us. Live and learn 😬

@@freedomranchhomestead7961 Thanks for the response! One thing I will say is drillers know the area, and with water coming to the surface means something to anyone in well drilling business. Honesty in today’s world is rare. One bit of advice be certain to test your water at the tap and do so routinely, and perhaps you already know that.. Anyway thanks and good luck. I truly enjoy your videos especially when your from Wi and Scandinavian too boot!

Hello, Years ago my father had a well dug next to our pond. When the pond got low we turn on the well.... It looks. Like a small or large damn could be easily placed in that gully behind the we'll head. A dozer could build a.damn quickly. Just a thought..

Hey there! We thought about adding a pond at the base of the hill there by damning up the area you are talking about. We decided against it because of the pasture above and the water in the pond getting polluted. Thanks for the suggestion though!

With as difficult of a ditch that is. I can’t believe a professional used black poly pipe. That will be an issue later.

Talk about making things hard. Why go down to ounces!!!! Stick to gallons!!!

Looks fantastic. What’s an approximate cost to do a spring well? Is it cheaper than a well? I have Landon Kentucky and can hear water running underground in a little tunnel and I am thinking about doing this verses a well.

Not sure where you live but, is this deep enough so it will not freeze in the winter? Assuming you live in a colder climate. I am planning doing the same when I build my off grid cabin, I have a spring right behind the spot I plan on building

Why did you drill a well when you have springs?????

Do you have a link or brand spec. Of the tank used?

hi sorry for the delayed response. For the spring box holding tank pump, it is just a standard pump (1/2 horse) I believe. It has provides plenty of pressure. I can verify if interested.

Well I got to say I really like you guys' videos but have hey Brooke? Are you guys down in Kentucky or Tennessee cuz that looks like Tennessee and Kentucky land can you help me out there just a little bit it's pretty land thank you

Unfotunately we do not have a contact. Our plumber had a friend come out of retirement to help us out since we were in such a pickle (no water for over 2 weeks after the well dried up). Sorry!

The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎💩💩😬
