My dad had a PVC airline system in the garage and kennel for the last 28 years still no issues
wow! these videos are fascinating, im glued!
Fixing to do this swap using this kit on a 60 country sedan wagon. Thanks for the tips on installing it.
Glad to help
i got roaches 🪳😥😓
Ur video is all about hit the like button and poop ...u fucked up my dinner .poop poop and poop ...n by the was roaches are no problem untill they hide ..but the problem occurs when u see 1000 of them around ur stove and sink ..thanks for this video about poop and ur bullshit ..
Although I am reading this one year after it was put on KZread, there is a comment that I'd like to make regarding propane. He said that the price was volatile during certain times of the year and he is absolutely correct. If you have a propane tank that belongs to the propane supplier, you are paying the highest price for propane particularly in the winter months, astronomically high per gallon. I got an education on propane purchasing when I was a Director at a 501 C nonprofit organization. Subsequently at the same time I was moving to a home that had electric heat and I wanted to change it to propane. Here is what is necessary to get the lowest price and it is unbelievably cost saving. You must own your own propane tanks. I recommend you buy two 1000 gallon either below ground or above ground propane tanks that you own. Each tank will hold 85% of 1000 gallons. in my situation one 850 gallons would handle one winter season. I didn't need to buy any additional propane during the winter. The only time that I bought propane was in mid June or early July when the price was lowest. Because you own your own tanks you contact all of the suppliers in your area and give them the information that you own your own tanks and you're interested in filling one or more within the next week or two. You will be stunned at how low the price is comparatively. If you can't handle buying one or two propane tanks, I recommend you don't attempt to heat your home with propane. A good thing to remember is that electric heat is 100% efficient. If you insulate properly and I mean properly that is also a very good option.
I live in home been there 18 yrs I time seeing cockroach belive came out closet in bed room liked it right away time to spray have no food but dirty clothes hamper might be source
What do you think about using Traditional forms and form ties with icf?
Less blah blah..... more show.
Came back to comment on the product, this worked perfectly has already unclogged 2 pipes very highly recommend!!
Nuclear bomb is easily build in small resident than bomber
What do you think I can use to remove a rock in my sewage line??
Did this a couple weeks ago, bladder exploded. Don't buy Lowes/Cobalt bladders. Home Depot one didn't explode, but it also doesn't clear the drain. You can't even get five minutes before it's backing up into the sink. So no, these bladders do not work. Save the $20. Not that the auger is any better; I got an electric auger and it's useless garbage. Granted, it's a Cobalt, and thus Lowes and a waste of money; a real one probably would work better.
Great video. Explanations were simple and to the point.
would you have one of those truss brackets for the icf left over, I would like to buy it from you .
I do not. I sold all of my leftovers
Subbed. I'm looking forward to learning more from your channel. Great videography as well.
Me too wow lol
I'm going to put my "uh, akshully" hat on and mention that a ground-source heat-pump is not _technically_ geothermal, because the heat is actually coming from the sun, just very very slowly. A "technically correct" geothermal system has to gather it's heat from the heat of earth's core. It's a completely irrelevant and pedantic thing to bring up, but _I_ thought it was interesting!
You are correct in that the earths shallow crust gets its heat from the sun. However, these systems draw their heat from the earth directly, not the sun. It's still technically geothermal. There are 3 different types of geothermal systems, and this is one of them.
@@Challenged1 oh neat, I stand corrected
Heat rises how do you loose 1/3 of the heat throught a basement? Walls i understand but are there any numbers on slab or under slab heat loss. Really trying to figure out if the expense is worth it. Hoping to build next year thanks!
The heat loss of the slab is going to be dependent upon the temperature of the ground it sits on. If the ground temps are pretty cold, the payback will be much sooner. If not, it may not be worth it.
My wife and I so enjoyed watching this video, I built my Shop with a chicken Coup out of Texas. Very similar numbers and details. I am geothermal Air Conditioning mine. Mine is 40 x 40. Shop first then Barn 3000 sf Then House underway. materials in barn so I can still repair or fab.
Sounds like a great plan
"You don't want to bury your lines in sand." *Cries in FL*
Unless that sand is saturated in water
LOLOL! Keep your home in the 40's?
Yer clock ain't werkin. Give er a lil tappy tap tap.
It's unplugged
I want to develop MEMS based ultrasonic vision under ground (one sledge above also) for steered drilling and perhaps robotic creation of the pipes from fibre concrete. Forst stage would be to drag in the pipes and use 2 trenches for the parallelising thicker pipes. Has anyone experience in such a micro tunnel drilling system automatically sweating out the concrete pipe? I think it is time for multiple use of environmental energy, and pf course we have to work with low anti-freeze % so it stays at low viscosity and high c of water near 4J/gK. I diy excavate for some 700m copper pipe (10 parallel circuits), for direct cooling fluid heat pump having 1:5 throughout the year for heating and 1:3 for shower water (U of outer walls is 0.3, so not too good, need about 32 °C for -10 °C outsides ca., so also not too good. But machine is cool, but today, way too expensive. Regarding politlcs today, I would rather replace by wood heating using chopped pieces, and perhaps some bio gas.
You can also use a cheap steel frame pool and insulate it. You can get a cheap 30m³ seasonal storage, top use multi-layer insulation foil, sides cheapest would be 1.5m straw, and underneath is a problem, the most expensive part: best we have to DIY hollow micro glass spherse. For the insulation that is compression-resisting the weight of say 1.2 m head of water. Foam glass is also nice, or old underground wall insulation thick enough. The advantage is you can store up to 100 °C if the foil of the pool can cope with that. So you could drive a sterling or similar, and will not have to use your heat pump a long way. So directly mixing the temp down to heating temp. This implies you have to use a lot solar thermal collectors eg diy by concentrated solar light.
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I tried to use it to unclog >50 year old cast iron pipe and I could not get it to seal to the pipe walls, so it simply pushed water back up to the cleanout. Any tricks for getting this to seal better in the future? In hindsight I should have tried turning up the pressure at the regulator, that may have caused it to expand more and seal with higher pressure
I used a large bladder in my 4" main line. After turning the water off, the bladder got stuck when i tried pulling it back out. I figured out how to twist the hose clockwise so it wouldnt unscrew the bladder and that freed the bladder to retrieve it.
I wonder if you are recording from a tornado cellar? 🧐
It's a room I built inside of my shop
Don't blame the tenant for that s ..Blame yourself for not having your home sealed properly AND they travel through neighborhoods through the plumbing...genius Typical slum lord title
Absolutely ridiculous statement!!!
Nice job explaining thanks I think I will never install one of those I live in a city.
Been using the DILDO method for many years! WorksGood
when you were talking about the hypothetical farmhouse, what did you mean by the ground could become saturated? thanks for both your videos on this system and congratulations- you did a lot of work!
The ground only has so much heat to give within a certain period of time. If the system runs too often, it could drop the ground temp faster than the ground temperatures can recover. The ground has a heat transfer rate, and it is possible to exceed it when withdrawing heat.
i use mine to inflate bike tires to 90psi and it turns off after the first tire and then stays off for like an hour before working again. it isnt hot anywhere on thr device or dewalt battery. does anyone else have this issue?
And check out sand generator, way better heat sink then hair the ground
Cheap, only if you own your own excavator.. not exactly cheap is it?
Only costs about $1k to rent one for a week.
Can I use this in my bath tub? I only have a clogged pipe in line with my bathrub
I doubt it
Thank you so much for your insightful videos! I live in Salina and hope to build an ICF home in the next three years. I hope I can reach out to you for advice and counseling.
Very nice information
I'm disappointed. I expected cost saving tips as the headline stated. It's good info but not cost savings
Those tips are in subsequent videos. This was an overview
This was so informative! Thank you so much! My wife and I are going to build a home on a mountain slope north of Waynesville NC. The property has a spring-fed pond on it. I don't know the depth, but I don't believe it freezes. I learned from you that I can run my coils out to the bottom of the pond which is probably about 60 deg F year round. Obviously my tubing will have to be something non-corrosive ... aluminum? Anyway, GREAT video and GREAT info!
You can use the same tubing that you would normally bury.
Worked like a charm thanks for making my day!
Heat pumps are garbage.
Good bet on burying deep, good insurance for not accidentally hitting a line if it's 10' down.
will this work if it has tress roots in it, a few with a size of a finger and then some small roots? thanks
Saw one video I can’t stop watching
I have wanted to build such a system but I live on granite and the temperature on the BC coast can go pretty low at times. We keep our above ground water line on a slow feed during the coldest weather. There is no clay anywhere. Impossible?
Not impossible, just tough
Biggest con of ICF is it blocks the concrete of your wall to work as thermal mass.
19 ½ minutes of video - of which 95% is this guy's face & voice. Very little actual demo of "Geothermal System" !
I have other videos for that
What size rims fit this rotor please great video
Minimum size with these brakes is 15"
With all the major steps towards super insulated houses I don’t see a future for harvesting and distribution of heat with fluids. The btu demands of houses will go down so much that ROI of heat pump vs electrical heater will have the electrical heater as the winner. Yes people will scream: “but the heat pump is 5x more efficient” very very true, but money wise… count the totals for 20 yrs. Installation cost, maintenance cost, replacement cost and usage cost. TLDR; spend 95% of your budget on insulation, and the remaing 5% on the heat supply. The more you spend on insulation the less expensive the heat supply gets, even to the point where small electrical wall mounted heaters will be enough.
