    Jimmy, that was beautiful! Your friend will have a great system for decades. I had to dig out our old system a couple of years ago and put a new one in. It was a lot of work but I got tired of watching the kitchen sink drain slowly. Now, I stand away from the sink so it doesn't take me out with the drain water! My wife and I love to follow your videos. Please accept our very best wishes for a Healthy and Happy 2023 for you and Lori! Merry Christmas and God Bless!

    A crazy week, Boss. My town was largely without electricity over Christmas so we loaned a back up generator to a friend, some camper stoves and one friend even came for a bath because their electricity froze. My life didn't change except for helping. Then was going to settle in for New Year just drinking coffee and reading a book when I got a call from a friend to come get a doe he took down so I have been busy. If it is indication of my 2023 I will be well fed and also doing the things to take care of business. I ordered a few new seeds and cleaned out my seed box which is a basket with lots of pencil pouches I put the packages in. God bless you and Lori and Tildy for the 2023. We lost 3 pets last year like your Frankie. I saw a book Angela's Ashes at the thrift store and remembered how he got his name. I read it and Tis. Loads of love from juanita mae and jim

    Great system and pretty similar to what I've drawn up for my septic system. And the washing machine gray water system too. I like bubble foil too. Used it in my country home for the in floor heat "reflector", in the trenches from the outdoor Woodstock to the livestock tank to keep it 45°F - 55°F perfect animal drinking temperature. I wrapped and taped it around the pex tubing before slipping it inside the black corrugated black plastic piping in a bed of sand to and spray foamed box with styrene panel on the under side of the box as a cover. Cutting the shape of elongated toilet seats (just 2) for the animals to drink out of all year around. I made a flow baffle and could turn on 1, 2 or 3 heat rings made of pex tubing coming off the inlet valve and returning to the outlet valve for heat circulation.. It works great in-30°F (approximately -48°C) weather with gusts up to 60 m.p.h. (approximately 97 Km per hour) here in Michigan. My water was never frozen.

    Oh, this is great! I've been being constantly amazed at how simple systems can be. Plumbing was the last system left, and after watching this, I feel empowered to learn all the details! No magic or many thousands of dollars needed, just logic and knowledge. Thank you so much for making these videos.

    Great minds think alike....Almost exactly the same setup at my off grid cabin. The only difference is I cut a cleanout hole in the settling barrel, big enough for posthole digger. Covered it with a 16x16 patio stone and 8 inches of dirt. But in over 25 years I have not had to dig it out. The half barrels work way better than the pipe with holes buried in gravel. Great video!!

Not only does it bring back memories of Frankie out and about running all over the place until, like me getting to old to do any more, but my wife laughs every time I sing it and she knows what I just finished watching. I really miss Frankie when he was much younger and everything he did. I’ve been watching your channel for a very long time and still enjoy it as much now if not more than the day I Subscribed. I can’t even remember when that was but I still have my post card you sent me hanging on the refrigerator and if you saw me you’d know I make a lot of trips to the fridge lol!!!

    Hey JC. What a great project! Gotta love that bubble foil :-) We had the bio chamber system installed at the usual excavation cost. Now we are on our 3rd repair in 6 years. Only the two of us. That's modern designs for ya. Merry Christmas to you and Lori. Happy 2023! ~ Diane

    Bless your heart!!! We put our septic tank system down right here in Trapper Creek Alaska with 2/ 250 gallon tanks that were used for oil they fry chicken in at Kentucky Fried chicken. They sell these tanks all over here in Alaska and they use them for tons of things here. Most people see them in the back of pick up trucks to hold water. These tanks are square and they have aluminium bars around them. Well we dug out enough dirt to be able to bury 2 of these tanks and a leach pipe about 10 feet long. We attached the 2 tanks together with a pipe between them so the first tank can flow into the 2nd tank through the top on the sides of the tanks. The pipe that's going from one tank to the next tank is glued so it won't move. Those tanks are called, solid tank and liquid tank. Then in order to make sure the tanks can not ever float, we wire hangered these heavy duty bed springs we got from an old military base and they were the bed springs they used for the military beds. I originally used them for fencing for my goats. They are sturdy and very heavy. We wired 2 on top and 6 all around the 2 tanks. Then from the top of the liquid tank, we put the leech pipe out the side on top, then down to the ground and ten feet out slightly at a down hill. I had the duty of filling the leech pipe hole full of bigger rocks so to be a drain into the ground after the waist water flows through the leech pipe.Then we wrapped that leech pipe with membrane so the silt can't clog that pipe up. We buried the whole thing and I haven't had to use the out house hole since, and it's lasted for 4 years now. And if ever I have to have it pumped out, I can because of course we made sure we put pump out pipes going up through the tops of the tanks. This project only cost me $1,200. Both tanks were only $100. The thing that cost me the most was paying the guy to dig the trench for the tanks and end leech pipe, then to burying it all up.

    Sounds like a good setup for sure. They sell those tanks here too. I always planned on going over to Trapper Creek just because i liked the name but never made it. I spent a lot of time in the Homer / Seldovia area but plan to return sometime in the near future.
