Hi pjbridges94 on youtube:) Love your videos and I wanted to post my response here so I can show you what I was talking about with a water storage using that creek you have. I do not think it will take much room if you use PVC to run the water to a water storage closer to your livestock and garden! I made this photo to show you what I mean but I am not very good and making diagrams as you can see! Ha ha ha!

Tell me what you think or if any of you on here have ideas on how to make this work for her that would be great:)

What a great idea! :) We have a creek out back also & I think using some of that water for our garden would be great. My husband hooked up plumbing so it would reach out to the garden, but if we could use some of the water from the creek that would save us some $$...yeah! :)
Keep smiling! :)

O yeah, that would save you lots and you could also look at building a little Hydro electric generator to run that washer and dryer:)

This might be another option for some, have you checked out the ram pumps, they can pump the water uphill using minimal energy! I never heard of them until Mr.Telsonia posted a video utilizing it on his place and I wish I have a few years back, needed water to the lake house and had to buy a gas powered water pump!

THINK, DESIGN AND BUILD!
