Trying to keep my DREAM House from flooding

Video summary

Press to jump

0:00Jake needs drainage and utility conduit installed before he can seed the yard ahead of cold weather.
1:16A previously filled trench needs revisiting because he forgot conduit for the fiber connection.
6:44Laser measurements show too little slope for the planned catch basin, prompting a direct pipe run.
13:25The crew glues and backfills the drain pipe, then tests water flow with a garden hose.
15:13Jake excavates another long trench for utility conduit along the property boundary.
17:13Topsoil and grass seed follow, with a weighted pallet dragged behind a utility vehicle to level the ground.

Jake wants a lawn. Getting there involves an excavator, several days of pipe work and a return to a trench he already filled in.

"Trying to keep my DREAM House from flooding" was the larger of jakkuh's two uploads this week, reaching roughly 740,000 views. Jake says he knew about the farmhouse's drainage problems from the first showing, but hadn't realized their extent. And there's another job to undo: he forgot to put conduit for the fiber connection into an earlier trench before backfilling it. Computers and networking haven't disappeared from the channel; they're just requiring rather more digging.

The drainage plan changes as the crew works. Laser measurements reveal too little slope for the planned catch basin, so they use a direct pipe run instead. Later comes a hose test, followed by topsoil, seed and an attempt to smooth the yard with a weighted pallet dragged behind a utility vehicle. The video includes a sponsored portable-power-station segment.

Viewers are getting into the construction details. Several question the channel drain's installation without concrete, while others discuss whether the abandoned basin could have caught sediment. One highly liked comment treats the series as preparation for buying a house.

The other new upload, "say hi to gizmo," is a Short. Meanwhile, October's "I bought 2 PETABYTES of eBay hard drives" remains among the channel's busiest videos, bringing the tiny datacenter back into the picture.

jakkuh added 5,000 subscribers over the week, reaching 800,000, while daily viewing sits close to its usual level. Among nearby tech channels, Retro Game Corps had a larger weekly viewing total and Barnacules Nerdgasm a quieter one. Jake's strongest draw right now, though, is getting water off the property rather than getting storage online.

What viewers say

I am watching this to learn what mistakes to avoid when buying my own house.

Should still have left the trap attached but with the pipe connected to the upper part. That way the trap could still trap sinking debris and could be cleaned.

6:16 I would have assumed you'd exit the water at the higher level, and have the debris fall to the lower level.
