My favorite class I took in Highschool (1984-1988) was Industrial Arts where you learn wood working, carpentry, electrical, electronics, mechanics, welding, forging, screenprinting, and blueprinting. There might have been a couple other things but you get the idea. It's a shame it's no longer being taught.

You prepared for the worst, hoping for the best, but got the absolute worst; with a silver lining of meeting Artie, who spoke on what you are trying to say to America: we need the trades people badly!!! The fact that you were able to completely replace that system that fast, shows what Artie was talking about: visualizing what may be needed and being able to do the job without a return trip to the shop.

Thank you for that totally makes sense. I’m electrician grew up on a farm all that good stuff.

This video shows the power of a family business, and the support of your wife understanding your work and the value of helping other's in need

Nothing better than raise a family around your own business, children learn discipline and a trade, wither they go into or not can be applied to other stuf

Very rare to find a young man with your quality work ethic! Keep up the great work! Love your videos!

I can believe this kid stay almost 10 minutes without interrupt the old man

Amen to that old fella and his philosophy!! Million percent agree with him! Also nice quick and good job doing that on Thanksgiving!

So many jobs if I didn't talk so much I'd be done sooner but talking to people is part of the job and a part that I also enjoy.

I can tell you really take pride in your work. That's a great thing to see nowadays!

Preach It brother on the trades. I retired being in the hvac for 46 years . Enjoyed my work thru the years and learned something every day.

Sounds like half of my jobs as an electrician. Also gotta love the customers talking your ear off when you’re trying to do the job.

For the life of me i dont know why i watch your channel except you are a good worker and a great human being as well,and to be honest i have never had a house hooked to a well pump but i enjoy watching you work and to learn from your videos,,take care

I do service work too, and we have to have a certain number of people on duty per so many customers. I've worked plenty of Holidays and it sucks, but I always felt good helping people out on these types of days, seeing them light up when I get them back on. They always fed me good too! I won't miss anymore holidays though, I did my time already. That's for the new guys. My time with my family is just as important as someone else's.

Not many left like this young man. I owned a machine/welding shop for 35 years and stayed on call to work wonders for customers. I understand that good hard-working people are extremely hard to find now days with all the "FREE" money given to them.

A Truly Great Thanksgiving day story. It sure looks like everyone had a VERY BLESSED THANKSGIVING. THANK YOU for being the Caring person that you are. I just wish I had folks like you around me.

"The h2O Saviour" My Family would celebrate Christmas day, on Thanksgiving day! My Dad had obscure religious beliefs. He believed, as a Baptist, that Christmas was just another pagan holiday brought on by a society misguided by the power of money and material things and the corrupt government keeping our citizens slaves to its economy. We believe JC' s Birthday should be celebrated under the morals of family and helping others. Sound familiar? So any way he took all the "money and material giving" and placed it on a day he believed is better suited for the beliefs of the family, not society's misdirected excuse of what such an important day it truly is. Anyway. I'm all grown up now and I still remember those "Thanksgiving mornings" and all the wonderful 🦃. It was tommy the turkey not Santa by the way.lol😂... All the other kids were jealous but on Christmas day we didn't get presents. We had family😂😊😊😊🥰🥳

When I was 15yrs old a good friend Mis Kitty asked me what was going to do with my life. She asked if I was going to college after high school,I said no college is not for everyone. Every year I worked a different trade. Starting with a restaurant then to plumbing then to electrical,roofing ,house framing landscaping. I’ve now been employed for the last 21 years as maintenance supervisor for my employer. I really didn’t realize I was setting myself up for my career.

nice work bro. your videos taught me everything i needed to know to pull out my old pump and replace with new one. me and my girl pulled it by hand and had a successful install of the new pump. but here i am still watching well videos lol your teaching skills are on point. keepem coming brotha. -allen from FL

Great to see such a high work ethic and amazing skill! I may have to replace my well pump in the future and believe I can do it thanks to your instruction. Thanks Southwest Oregon general contractor! 👍

That old man knows his shit!! Very intelligent and no BS talk to his grandson teaching the way the world works; much different than what is taught in school. Good conversation 👍

Arthur Darrenbacker great words of wisdom that only comes from experience, my hats off to you sir and the fine young man that is showing me so much about well systems awesome video only watched a few thus far all great thanks for sharing!

The man Speaks 900% truth....... FACTS FACTS FACTS..

Working on a holiday. I know that very well - worked as a firefighter for 31 years 6 months and 24 days. Worked B shift - so you worked leap year. So if you any holidays you had the year before leap year. You got it again the next year. But I loved working Thanksgiving. Our shift of 12 people would meet at Station #3 (the training station) for turkey dinner - Plus our station had the only dish washer back then. The other stations had dishwashers installed later on. Our shift worked 3 holidays 2 years in a row. We worked a 24 on / 48 hours off schedule. 52 hour weeks with no overtime in the normal work week. Fed law - take care thank you for the video.

You are a good person to take care of those folks. May God bless you and your family on this Thanksgiving.

You’re the kind of person I would love to learn from.

..lol.TRUTH BOMB love that old man..telling the truth ! We are With you on that 100% as well ! we talk about how bad they fu*D up our schools..No shop No auto mechanic No nothing now days except telling a innocent 4-5 year old boy that he can b a girl if he want to type of bull shit..makes me so dam mad i cant see straight !

7:30 loved how grampa was teaching grandson the importance of the trades.

knowledge is everything. remember kids when shit hits the fan and theres no electricity an no computer is working. you gana use your hands

im impressed you are the super water man keep it up young man i wish i had a son like you

What a stud you are, good man, i took architectural drawing as well before becoming an artist, my art is on the the U Haul trucks nation wide, all 50 states for over 30 years. I did not graduate from high school, im now thanks to you a well technician lol.

You're a good man doing that for them. I had my well casing give out on Christmas Day this year and know the feeling.

Very nice of you to come out on Thanksgiving. Amazing that you got that done so quickly.

That guy's a wise man

Dang good work, got some extra jingle for the holiday season and did some legacy work

You are a good man 💪 I would have done the same... no questions asked just as a employee Driller not the owner I would have showed up to help these people ... I'm having fried chicken livers for Thanksgiving ❤️🤠 😂 and washing my Fr clothing so I'm ready to drill on Monday or 5 minutes from now.💪🤠

You’re the man! Great work. Always love seeing good people.

Grandpa is smart, but the clock is running. 😁

Ok man I just came across your video and I had to stop at the trade talk. I'm a diesel mechanic and body man. I wanted to learn it all. More kids meet to look at becoming tradesman.

I like that guy. He speaks the truth

Arty , I love the stories. Awesome

Dam, that was fast. You are the man.

You are the man!! Nice job as always.

Artie is 100% correct. Glad you recorded it.

You are doing great things my friend. If you care to expand I have a small business here in NM where I do my work alone. I wouldn’t mind at all.

We just had Thanksgiving without running water. My submersible well pump went out! Bladder tank is bad as well. Big job, but not anything I can't handle. I'm completely redoing. Bought a new bladder tank, installation kit for bladder tank, added a whole house water and sediment filter to well house lines. Replacing bad submersible well pump as well. It's a job! Luckily we have great neighbors who let us get tons of water to maintain our living while I finish well.

It's really not too difficult, as long as you have a "will-do can-do" attitude. I just, this past mon, pulled my pump to repair a leak down the drop pipe; ended up being a corroded and leaking nipple at the pump; broke off completely as soon as it was laid on the ground. Ended up cleaning all the corrosion off the pump, installing a new brass nipple, and dropping my 17+ year 1/2hp Franklin Electric pump back down in the well; and its pumping more water volumn then it did before i pulled it. Ill take an older, more reliable pump over a brand new one any day; you cant find quality like we had that many years ago. Good luck to ya

Seat Belt. Great video.

👍👊 Makin’ 🥓 Bacon!!!! And helping folks out 👍

Yup your my hero.

Good video. These are great to watch as you always pick up good info. Since we live in the country and have a shallow well things you pick up in these videos are always helpful.

Your a great person to take care of those folks. And a smart business man to make that money as an emergency call. 😊

Nice fix/save on a holiday ... back in the old days my family had a small town car dealership ... all the family members had their phone numbers in the phone book .... can't tell you how many times my father or uncle would get a call from a restaurant valet or owner on a Saturday night that the keys were locked in the car ... back then you cut GM keys by the number ... lot's of "saves" with a little effort .... and of course those people told all their friends about the great service ... you can't buy that kind of Good Will via expensive advertising ... a trip to the beach with my uncle on a Saturday (1 hour) would take 3 hrs because he'd stop and help all the stranded motorists (often with a station wagon full of small kids) .... he always carried his tools in the trunk .... that's the way we where raised ... to be of service to the community

I always try to stop & help those in need, say an elder has a flat tire & I see them waiting for assistance on the side of the rd. My ex wife would always complain about us being late or how a crazy person might try to hurt me...I never thought of things that way, I see someone needing help and I can help them change a spare tire in less than 15 minutes, so I stop & help them. I'd rather be late than wonder if that person is still sitting there. Always told my ex that Karma works both ways, if I help someone maybe one day she'll need help & someone like me would stop to help her. She still never got on the same page as me. Needless to say, that's why she's the Ex wife. She was too selfish and I was the opposite. So our journey together had to end so we could find a better partner. Since then my channel on KZread has grown 10-fold bc I can be myself without her negative criticism. May be TMI but my channel is the real me. & my content is mostly work related.

Top man.

Awesome video thank you

Hard to finish working then get home to the family for Thanksgiving dinner while that guy keeps talking.

Looks like that galvanized fitting rusted up and caused the pump to split

very good work

Love it!

the old man is right, but nowadays kids just want to play on their damn phones or Xbox💯

what does that cost to do on a regular day?

Great video as usual. How come you don't filter the water before the tank? instead of after? Isn't sediment building up in the tank?

Love the channel. I recently bought a house with an unused well. Finally dug out the pump house. It has a well casing with 2 pipes going into a tank that has a large motor coming out of the side. Never seen anything like it. Can anyone help me identify it. I can send pics. Update. Determined that it's an above ground jet pump system.

Well, was a nice video but you didn't show anything about how to connect the new pump and put it back down in the well like l need to do with my bad pump tomorrow !

I never had SHOP in highschool. My oldest brother did, but they started cutting it all out before i even got the chance to take it. I did take architectural drafting because the shop teacher was deduced to a CLASSROOM teacher? I love my architectural drafting abilities but guess what... CAD...so im working with my hands and learning "trades" and challenging myself 😊 My job loves my work ethic and the fact that im not scared to go above and beyond to do anything necessary to get the job done. So overqualified for my job😂lol. They can fire me but i know ill be alright. Cuz i got work ethic andjust as important : Skillz that killz baby😂😂😂😂🎉

Put the damn seat belt on kid

That dinging noise is trying to let you know you won't survive an accident. If your family doesn't mean much to you then don't use one.

Impressed with your business, your skill, and your drive. Keep up the good work,. Just one question though, why is your video reversed horizontally? It looked like you were driving in England. 🙂

Most likely it's just old age, but the fitting threaded in was likely too tight & the taper of the threads put outward pressure on the head.

I can't figure out what state your in?

Looks like, what I would call "rust jacking". The rust swells up and cracks the fitting over time. It would be best to not use any fittings with steel or iron in it, stainless is best.

If the house is down hill from the well, it's possible that it is acting like a siphon. Just turn off the power & drain pressure to 0. That's all you can do in your situation. Just turn off the drain

If you have a spickot at the well head, you'd have to open it to break the suction (so then it would pull in air rather than draw out the water). That's the only way. If you have a pitless adapter (Northern region) you'd need to install a yard hydrant to the underground pipe.

that would have cost him his $300 dollars in time , how much were the parts ?

How come you do not put a kicker boot on that pump cuz there you go you are half-ass doing the job I did not see a Ticker on that pump that is probably what caused the other pump to bust like that cuz it had no kicker on the pump
