What I did today? I’m German, what do you think. I hit the autobahn at ~180kph (>110mph). Need to help my parents move around a bunch of stuff. There’s plenty to do.
You should transition everything over to PEX. It is much more forgiving in freezing weather. If you do be sure to cover and protect the new lines from direct sunlight because UV rays can cause it to deteriorate.
I know I’m from up north where that outside setup would never work, so I would have to ask why do you not keep things inside? I also do all my own pluming, so I understand what you are doing.
Nice little Toyota pickup in the background Zach! Looks like it’s getting a little work done to it? I do have some parts for those so if you need anything just let me know
lost a ring been looking for 5 days praying and fasting still cant find it. need more prayers please if you want. anyways i have a portable on demand for washing horses and burst a thin copper pipe inside cuz i didnt drain it well, very frustrating, loved your groovy music
I was going to make a comment on Pex because my pvc had some freezing issues this winter (also in Ozarks) and I am in the process of switching my well-house piping to pex (we had our lightbulb heater burn out when we hit that cold snap). However, I see why you did PVC since it is fully exposed and Pex breaks down in sunlight.
What I did do for some of our exposed plumbing is put pipe insulation and/or a pocket of Reflectix (Foil bubble insulation) over it. It might save you a bit of headache when we get a freak cold that you were not expecting.
My thinking on exposed pipes is that if you can’t insulate the entirety of them, you can at least up the average temperature in the pipes nearby, slowing the freezing.
Thank you for your videos. Both on this channel and your other channel. They are always a blessing.

How do you power your inline water heater?

It’s a good day the homestead when nothing breaks!
You could try using food grade antifreeze in exterior like what’s used for winterizing RV water lines

Went all pecs on our homestead. It expands and usually doesn’t break because of freezing.
About every day, something doesn’t go as planned.
What did I do this morning? I prayed the rosary before the world attacks me.
Pex it, kink of like brexit but different. I did my camp and haven’t had trouble since.

I did a few things today including hyping your video LOL I’m glad you were able to get it fixed.
Heat tape would prevent pipes from freezing.
Great job.
