Concrete curing is chemical in nature, the calcides form bonds as long as the leaching process is permitted, by adding water, after the initial set, the moisture is present and will filter in and continue to add these bonds, albeit at a reduced rate…concrete that is in a high moisture environment, underground or underwater cures and strengthens best…so add as much as you need, after a couple weeks your basically at saturation and the process is so slow that most all the bonds are formed…after about a month it’s completed…

Very cool to find a video for this issue! Appreciate you taking the time to film and upload. My spring seems fine but the rust and grit between the barrel and pin won't let it move freely. I'm on the fence about whether to repair it or just deal with it because I can move the pin in by taping it in with a hammer, and I can move it back out by taping a nail through the washer on the other side. Mine is on a post hole digger as well, and the thought of the repeated irritation when I don't really know how many times I'll need to swap implements during this project makes me want to do it right. I'm thinking about using a dremel to grind the retaining ears off, but I'm a little shy about peening the yoke to retain the washer because it's a cast part. The last time I smacked a cast part hard enough to move a little metal, the part fractured and that was that. These yokes look a little more substantial though, so I might give it a shot while I hold my breath.

Nice video. I can appreciate what you went through to find a well driller, I did the same thing finding a driller for our house well. Mine ended up being 140' well, with static water at 11' and 110 gpm production. I got lucky as the well ended up on a gravel bed. I'm looking forward to your video on solar. Just las week I put a portable solar array out on my lawn (that finally has grass) to see how it performs and how well it works with my Bluetti AC500 and 512 Ah of batteries. I'm now tracking the sun, much like you did, to get a good idea of where I can put up a permanent solar bank. You mentioned you going with a fixed mount. I'm looking at the ECO-WORTHY Solar Panel Dual Axis Tracking System vs a static mount. Did you consider something like this?
@IndyFarmLife12 күн бұрын
Wow, that's quite the production from your well! You could irrigate with that thing. What's your plan with your solar setup? Is your house well going to be solar powered? The movable unit sounds nice. What I am getting comes from RPS with their well pumps. They do have some that are pole mount which likely provide more flexibility. I do think mine have tilt adjustment, but no auto tracking. That sounds fancy!
@petenelson813612 күн бұрын
@@IndyFarmLife Yea, the drillers said the same thing about the well producing so much we could use it for irrigation. What I'm looking to do with my solar set up is to have an alternative way to provide electricity to the house, something that would recharge my batteries with 1 day of sun. My Bluetti AC500 was purchased for my 5th wheel, as was the batteries and portable solar panels. When building the house I had it wired so the AC500 would work as UPC for my freezers (2), Frigs (2), and furnace fan (gas furnace). So, if the power goes out these things would still be running. Granted we don't have 220 for our well, but we've got the rest covered. The house is heated with natural gas (and I tinny wood stove), so I had it plumbed and wired in for a generator. I've got a multifuel generator that I can hook up for the 220 power if the outage is long enough = I need the well, or recharge the batteries. I'm also considering a hand pump on top of the well (for getting buckets of water), or a 110 pump that I could power with the solar generator. I've got a stream running through the property, and a 1/4 acre pond, so we've got water outside of the well if needed.

I don't know if you speed the camera up while using the controls, but obviously very hard to follow. I have a 680K (16 years) used it to fill a dump truck while building my farm pond. Never used it to trench a straight line with a uniform dept. I am Pa. Your ground would be considered top notch top soil in Northeastern Pa. Actually rock 3/4 or less here is good dirt. LOL
I did a Case Backhoe just like that years ago with Slime . Never have needed to add any more air .
Superb video, smart info , practical .
Thank you!
I used geo here in Southern Oregon becaouse i was logging 15 acres of douglas firr. 3 acres clear cut for my house. Took out everything 18" at the butt or larger. "Great money." $980 a thousand bd ft I was bringing in 80,000 pound logging trucks and 80,000 pound concrete trucks. Build for what your needs are. That was 2013 and the trees have doubled in size. Harvest again in 10 years. Cha ching!
My mower deck had a huge crack in it. Clean it up, drill the end of the crack, slap some SteelStik. Working great!
Fascinating! Can’t wait to see the well water go in the pond. 😊
We are very excited too! Hopefully won't be too long. You guys will get to see it all!
Adam from hometown acres ducking making a pond update 😂😂
He's got a lot going on over there. It's not as fun to highlight the headaches for the world to see. I just like to give him a friendly jab now and then ha. He will be visiting us in a couple weeks. I'm sure we will discuss it at length.
@@IndyFarmLife All in good fun. Thinking about digging a pond soon so his pond updates are like game of thrones season finales to me lol.
@Indy Fram Life that's going to be a big change to your pond. Are you going to build a pump house? You know how our weather gets. Crazy question if you build a pimp house Are you going to have solor heat. Anyway awesome video keep them coming ( Tony)
Hey Tony! Yes it is. No we won't need a pump house. The pump will be down in the well and the only thing that will be exposed will be the solar panels and controller, which is good, because I don't need another project.
Around here water is only 4-8 feet down. Ponds do not exist here either. Generally just canals and rock pits and all are at the same elevation/
That's such a difference from here. 4 to 8 feet would have saved us a lot on the well drilling ha.
Outstanding, cant wait to see the hardscape you have planned.
Thanks! The hardscape waterfall is the end game, but we have some work to get there. Once water is flowing into the pond I'll be a happy camper!
Nice video. I can appreciate what you went through to find a well driller, I did the same thing finding a driller for our house well. Mine ended up being 140' well, with static water at 11' and 110 gpm production. I got lucky as the well ended up on a gravel bed. I'm looking forward to your video on solar. Just las week I put a portable solar array out on my lawn (that finally has grass) to see how it performs and how well it works with my Bluetti AC500 and 512 Ah of batteries. I'm now tracking the sun, much like you did, to get a good idea of where I can put up a permanent solar bank. You mentioned you going with a fixed mount. I'm looking at the ECO-WORTHY Solar Panel Dual Axis Tracking System vs a static mount. Did you consider something like this?
Wow, that's quite the production from your well! You could irrigate with that thing. What's your plan with your solar setup? Is your house well going to be solar powered? The movable unit sounds nice. What I am getting comes from RPS with their well pumps. They do have some that are pole mount which likely provide more flexibility. I do think mine have tilt adjustment, but no auto tracking. That sounds fancy!
@@IndyFarmLife Yea, the drillers said the same thing about the well producing so much we could use it for irrigation. What I'm looking to do with my solar set up is to have an alternative way to provide electricity to the house, something that would recharge my batteries with 1 day of sun. My Bluetti AC500 was purchased for my 5th wheel, as was the batteries and portable solar panels. When building the house I had it wired so the AC500 would work as UPC for my freezers (2), Frigs (2), and furnace fan (gas furnace). So, if the power goes out these things would still be running. Granted we don't have 220 for our well, but we've got the rest covered. The house is heated with natural gas (and I tinny wood stove), so I had it plumbed and wired in for a generator. I've got a multifuel generator that I can hook up for the 220 power if the outage is long enough = I need the well, or recharge the batteries. I'm also considering a hand pump on top of the well (for getting buckets of water), or a 110 pump that I could power with the solar generator. I've got a stream running through the property, and a 1/4 acre pond, so we've got water outside of the well if needed.
What are the chances the well is the same vein as the house and could you run low on water after filling the pond all day?
Suppose it's possible, but not sure we will know if/until it happens. The farmer next door (less than a mile) said he used to pull 10k gallons a day every day through the summer months. Seems we have a healthy aquifer.
Thats a big step for the pond. That airplane noise is a problem.
Haha instantly thought of you. Yea it's going to look a lot different when it's full!
Hell yea!!!
It's going to be awesome! Full drilling video up tomorrow. The solar array and pump from RPS is on its way to me now. Can't wait!
@@IndyFarmLife that's awesome man. Are you going to do a full video? (Tony)
Thanks Tony! Yes I am! Started editing the long version today. Hopefully have it up this weekend.
Step one: Rise loader frame and set the safety strut.
How big is the pond? Like 1/3 acre?
Right at about 1 acre and 22ft deep
@@IndyFarmLife 😮
How can I buy a E/One Brand Grinder Pump? I am not finding anyone that sells them. The company will not sell to me directly.
You need to find one of their distributors. You can use the below link. eone.com/sewer-systems/sales-service/usa
When I seen that initial path made in the thick leaves I was immediately sold. My poor old Stihl just doesn’t have it in her anymore for heavy duty stuff, still runs great, but being out in the sticks this thing would save me so much time during peak fall leaf season
Yeah it's definitely a beast! I ended up mounting it on the front of my Grasshopper 721D. If you haven't seen that video, check it out. It was a heck of a combo
Will there be a float control to tell the well pump when to turn on and off? Or will you just manage it manually?
@@DieselMike Yes, we are planning to have a float in place to shut the pump off when full.
