AMB Homestead Join me in my journey of growing our farm as I learn more about eco-friendly, animal-caring, and self-sufficient practices. It will all be shared here!

There will be some laughs, tears, and very amusing things along the way.

There’s something really special about watching learning come to life—literally. 🐣✨

So grateful to collaborate another year with Collin County 4-H to provide fertilized eggs! This year, we added McKinney ISD classrooms! These colorful eggs are about to become a hands-on science experience students will never forget—watching development, hatching, and the magic of life right in front of them!

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do. It’s not just farming; it’s connection, education, and planting seeds of knowledge and curiosity!

Here’s to curious minds, future farmers, and a whole lot of baby chicks on the way!

How to Fix a Burst PVC Pipe (Outdoor Repair)

Supplies:
PVC pipe cutter or saw • PVC slip coupling or two couplings + pipe • PVC primer • PVC cement • rag • a manual siphon pump

Step-by-Step

1️⃣ Shut off the water
Turn off the main supply or irrigation valve.
Open a nearby faucet to release pressure.

2️⃣ Expose the damaged pipe
Dig carefully if buried. Clear enough pipe on both sides to work comfortably.

3️⃣ Cut out the burst section
Make clean, straight cuts on both sides of the crack.
Remove the damaged piece and wipe the pipe dry.

4️⃣ Dry-fit everything first
Measure the gap and cut your replacement piece.
Test-fit the couplings before glue to make sure it lines up.

5️⃣ Prime the pipe & fittings
Apply PVC primer to the outside of the pipe ends and inside the couplings.

6️⃣ Glue and assemble
Apply PVC cement to both surfaces.
Push fittings on fully with a slight twist.
Hold for 20–30 seconds so they don’t slide back.

7️⃣ Let it cure
Wait the time listed on the cement label (longer if it’s cold).

8️⃣ Turn water back on slowly
Pressurize gradually and watch the repair.

9️⃣ Check for leaks
Let water run for a few minutes.
If it stays dry — you’re good.

🔟 Backfill & protect
Cover with soft soil first.
Add insulation or bury deeper if freezing caused the burst.
