Nice plug for Arm’s Family Homestead. Keep up the good work.

Much neater burying the pipes to rain spouts 👍🏻. Might have to do this to one of the corners of our house

Those downspouts were so unsightly and now just disappear. Great job! A lot of work but it will have long-term benefits.

You always think things through! The Fat Max PVC hand saw make quick work for a cheap price. See ya'll tonight!

Finally someone who gets the pipe nice and deep. Good job.

Looks great! Weed eater will do the trick to knock the grass back when it starts crowding the pop up drains.

GREAT PROJECT!
Fresh water is a huge resource especially the high frequency of rain in Florida. Have you considered getting huge plastic tanks and sink then into the ground? If someone contaminated the freshwater lakes you and your family would be safe and self sustaining.
We live on an island and that is how we catch our fresh water for our homes.

Real good idea Andrew preventive maintenance. That really cleans it up also looks nice and tidy. Your always one step ahead. I just love what your doing with your whole property and you make it very interesting, Thank you. Take care. 🇨🇦

Nice clean look with your downspouts straight into the ground.

You mention a sawzall....do you have a cordless skillsaw? That's what I use to cut PVC pipe--Dewalt 20V. Clean straight cuts...even with the 4" and 6" sewage and drain pipe.

That will be a nice house when its done. 😀

[jamesharless]

I believe the way you’ve got that system set up will work great.👍🏻

[greyfyreshelties]

I'd continue those two pipes way beyond the septic system and install a little gravel around the green cap gizmos so you have no upkeep what so ever. Looks outstanding though..will be awesome to see grass everywhere instead of sand! My Ohio land is all hardpacked rock, gravel and sand. I envy you your sand.. :)

[hrlee]

What a great idea. Will look great when the grass comes back.

Andrew should work great in FL. I would caution anyone that has snow and freezing temps to avoid. Mine froze, after heavy snow and resulting melting roof snow runoff had no escape route and drain gutters filled with water, froze during the cold nights and got double ugly. A lot of weight on gutters, but beautiful ice circles.🙏

Great work Andrew. That makes it look 100% better.

Hi Andrew, I admire how you did not rush into this project. First you put some thought into it then got a second opinion. Very smart decision with the perfect result you need for your property. Always awesome content on your channel. God Bless.

You should always try to drill a hole on the elbow that attaches to the pop up and put gravel on the bottom, otherwise the water left over there will be a petri dish in between rains, dead bugs perfume

Interesting video. We have loved watching you build your home.

The suction from the mower can actually lift the pop-up up. I have broken two of those by running over it with a mower.
