beautiful, thanks for sharing. Rattle snakes, what's the best way to get rid of them:shotgun?

@frankie2234 I used to catch 'em...got bit last year though! So, if there are children around or it's an area inhabited very often, shovel behind the head so I can tan the skin.

How'd you make your millions $ ?

@frankie2234 .22lr with rat-shot ought to do the trick.

how much did you purchase the land for?

[holcsor]

google 'ram pump'. if you have a 6 foot drop from a natural stream you can pump water without electricity.

Awesome!! some how i missed the shut off down by your garden. Look forward to all the future update videos .

@MrMG1973 Thanks! Another vid for the siphon? Man, you mean I didn't explain it well enough? The red-handled valve at the garden has to be closed first...then the valve just at the base of the dam is opened and water is poured into the line to fill the pipe. When this is full, that valve is closed...the system is now primed. The "fall" of the pipe to the garden then provides the suction.

Hope that helps? Glad to clarify if not!
