About

Join me in my journey toward a resilient lifestyle while still living within city limits. I am doing what I can to be more self sufficient with the long game in mind. Here I examine some of the eccentricities of western suburban culture and resource management and I explore alternatives to common practices. I consider myself an expert of nothing but a student of everything. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

To support the channel BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING NICE using the links below: NATURAL PALM FIBER HAT: https://www.tulahats.com/SUBURBAN --Buy my FAVORITE welding square!!!! --https://fireballtool.com/collections/suburban-biology --Use discount code: SB10 at checkout to save 10% off selected the items from my gear-list. My Primary website here: SuburbanBiology.com Some folks have asked in the comments what welder I am using. Here is a link to the little portable red welder you see in the pump house scene and the retaining wall scene. It has served me well for many projects due to its portability. Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3vt7WTd As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Merch store here: https://suburbanbiology.creator-spring.com Patreon: patreon.com/suburbanbiology I installed a 30k gallon metal tank in my backyard so that I can run my entire house on rainwater. Often called a rainwater catchment or rainwater collection system; this has allowed me to avoid using city water and to catch free water from the sky instead. Think of it as a pool-sized rain barrel crammed into my backyard. If you would like to contact the installer I used (Jeff Sergent) in the central Texas region you can find his contact info at : https://suburbanbiology.com If you enjoyed this content and want to support my mission of spreading the message of suburban resiliency consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/suburbanbiology I also please consider becoming a youtube channel member if you are a super-fan of this type of work. My channel membership is currently under review but I will update this once it's live. ============================== ROUGH COST OF THIS PROJECT: 30,000 GALLON TANK- $16,000 USD PVC pipes and fittings and gutter works - $4,000 USD (very rough estimate) My time and labor- hard to quantify. The steel for the retaining wall was probably around $1,000 USD. Tractor purchased used probably still retains 90% of it's value Other tools and welders obviously cost money. Sand and rocks- About $1,000 all said Refurbished pump- $500 Backflow preventers and other fittings- $1,000 Labor to the contractor varies widely based on how much work you do yourself. These are very rough numbers and probably vary from region to region. The cost of drilling a well in my area would have been on par or slightly more than the above tank cost. The pumps and filters would have been required for either.
