This Will Be Better Than Sand On The Beach

I feel like it may have been easier to pick up the farm, and set it next to a pond.

I love these DIY ideas. I'm going to build one. Same size. I'll use bags of ready mix, a wheel barrow, and my best shovel. Working weekends only, I expect it to take approximately 300 years.

Very American accent and seemed like from the 90’s lol enjoyed very much🇦🇺

As a person who has built a few backyard swimming ponds, you would have been better off using hard rock gavel around the perimeter instead of limestone. The limestone is PH positive which means it will tend to make your water alkaline instead of neutral. Alkaline water will retard the growth of algae and will throw off the biological balance of the pond such as the conversion of fish shit biologically to something recyclable in the pond food chain. Instead of producing algae and planktain, it will hang around as a light green slime across the pond floor. The choice of pea gravel was correct because it will help fish bed breeding and is PH neutral as well. I always used inner terraces on the way down so if a child who couldn't swim fell in they would not go to the bottom as fast giving them a chance to stand up before they drowned. It also gave me a structure to lay in inner circles of large hard rock (granite) boulders which are beautiful and give fish some much need structure. All in all though, I like your approach of building a pond instead of a stupid chlorine pool.

This is the most impressive and Hass to be expensive pond I have ever seen and my family has farm and lived. We’ve built three ponds. In my lifetime I’m 65 and I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m so impressed. Good job.

The best thing about watching this video was to see the three older guys involved and helping and all your own family pitching in .... you must have a close knit family ... I will look forward to more projects and the pond full of water .. 😊❤

Not only is the pond building video good to watch but the peek into farm life is even better.

The best part of the video to me was the grandpas working. So wholesome!!!

Ignore the haters and those jealous of the material wealth that you and past generations of your family has worked hard to acquire.

This is going to be amazing when it’s done… I can’t wait to see it finished!

Couldn't agree more about the weed barrier.

I worked full-time as a Mason whilst attending HVAC-R school.A few short years later and I find myself working masonry again because my pay in that field has almost trippled😂. The weight I gained from working as a technician, disappeared almost instantly.I am currently working on a backyard pond,so I appreciate the insights.

I came to your channel because Captain Kleeman referred to you during his tractor build. Your channel is so much more than I was expecting and is my favorite along with Kleeman. Entertaining, full of experiences that I learn from and I love how clean, exacting and perfect you strive to make everything. The OCD in me says, "now, thats how you do it" Thanks for quality video too!! Greg

I can’t wait to see how good it looks when it’s finished!!!

I would suggest running 3” PVC from the gutters/downspouts of all your metal roofs to your pond to fill up the pond when it rains.

You are the man!!! The worst that could happen is that you never see rain again. Love your thinking and your drive.

GREAT OUTCOME! Scale is just right. Good planning and lots of hard work equals well deserved results.

Boy this thing looks AMAZING….when u first revealed the project I was thinking just a dirt hole. You guys went SO far above and beyond! Looks so professional!

I am impressed with the quality of life you folks are living- looks like hard work and honest living. Best wishes
