That's a paradise for kids. His kids and grandkids are lucky little fellas!

Living at the TN babtist childrens home, this was the highlight of every summer for us. Loved going there. Mr. and Mrs. Thorton were some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Thanks for having us every summer.

he built it for everyone to enjoy and that man has a heart of gold because of that. not just for him and his family but for everyone to use. takes a special person to want to do that.

That sand filter is really ingenious using the hydrostatic pressure of all the water above it. This guy is a true renaissance thinker. Respect šš¾

āWell that wonāt be my problemā what a legend.

Spent some of my free time this summer helping with the upkeep of the gardens. Mr. Micky and Mrs. Jane are just as amazing in person as they seem in this video! They use their pool as an opportunity to meet new people and share Jesusā love with them. Awesome pool, and a lovely couple š¤ Glad that someone took notice of them and their hard work.

"From the little dream as a kid until now. Almost 60 years later now." Wow, what a legend! Few live a life worth reading about. What a pleasure to learn about Micky

Amazing work. Been in the pool industry for 17 years in Atlanta. This is the coolest pool I've ever seen. Genius design on the gravity fed sand filter system.

I still think it's amazing you don't have a few million subscribers yet. Great quality production and neat stories!

One mans dream turned into reality, what a legend.

The point in life is to keep a smile on your face, and keep your family close. He's a win in my book. Did it himself. Which is part of the process. That pool is his pride and joy.

One thing I love about these locations is that they're all built and owned by just regular people. There's no zillionaires that do these kind of projects, they just hire the work out. The creativity and dedication of ONE DUDE with a passion project will never fail to surprise you, though.
-
This is a perfect example of one cool ass guy just doing what he loves for his family and community. Respect.
-
This guy is smarter than you actually think. Dudeās first thought was to call the zoo to ask who made their exhibitsā¦ you canāt get smarter than that.

Loved the 'ducks in a row', what a great idea! š

When i was 39. I thought to myself "i better start doing it". Man, i'm 38 in that same mentality. Thanks for the inspiration!

I think you are the coolest and smartest grand dad ever. So awesome to see your creativity giving folks so much š joy.

If only bodies of water like this occurred naturally. He could have saved so much time.
