What a fantastic project! I can't wait to see how the pond will change the surrounding environment for the better and how much wildlife the water will attract. I'm with Theo here: ponds are super cool!

What a wonderful facility it will be - for flora and fauna and you two as well. Having your own wildlife pool to use for refreshing and relaxation is quite the dream! The wee digger - with the blade - is such an asset for this project and, I'm sure, many other future projects. Stay well, hydrated and rested! So good to see everything unfold in the videos. Also, hope the off grid property goes quickly and for the right price!

Ah it's great to see you so fired up Theo...I look forward to seeing the end result. In a couple of years it will look like it has always been there...

@kimberleybrown-j7y 5 ай бұрын

Another good reason for a strong and bubbling water flow into and out of the pond is for oxygenation... so the pond won't stagnate!!! It's an important element to think about!

Oh Bea. It’s so great to see u looking and seemingly happy. I pray you are feeling that way. I surely hope having that huge surgery has made you completely well or at least enough that u can mostly control your depression now. I know Theo is glad too. You have a darling man.

@cliffpowellAmb482 5 ай бұрын

Hey Folks...I love the large new pool that Theo is creating - you can't have too many water storage areas in the sort of location that you're in. It will be great for the local wild life, and in an emergency situation, aerial fire-fighting could utilize it to help fight any fire that comes too close to you, so it's a really good idea to build it (and I can see that Theo loves to play with his little Digger...LOL). And as others have said Bea, it's wonderful to see you laughing and smiling so much. Back to the new pond....you do have a lot of good sized rocks around, so with that, would it be a good idea to place some around that pool to help stabilize the surround and give it some nice aesthetics..?? Oh...and how soon does Theo plan on getting back into his little mountain top retreat cabin..(I know that there are lots of other tasks that will keep you busy....like Olive harvest and mowing your lawns etc..)???

I think it was a miracle the new kitten was found and a miracle she got you for new parents, and now she lives on miracle mountain........ I looked up the Portuguese word for miracle and it is Milagre so I think that would be a good name for her and she could be called Mila (me la) for short LOL

From having so many cats in my life I learnt that tabbies have absolutely the best temperament of all the cats. Idk what it is but they seem to get along the best with other cats, humans and dogs alike. I’m crazy about water features too, I wish I could build a pond in my garden, I only have a teeny tiny prefab one with a pump.🙂

Now I promise I have not been drinking but as Theo drove the 4x4 to the area to swim, on the right there were some large rocks. One looked like a fishes head, with a mouth and eye. Glad you both went and chilled, Theo is doing an excellent job on the digger and our commentary is very informative. Love to you both ❤️💙🥰🥰xx

Boys and their toys eh!? You have such vision Theo and being the perfectionist that you are it will be absolutely amazing especially in the future when it’s all planted up. You won’t have to go too far for a swim, your own private ‘baths’. Not bad. The kitten is so cute and beautifully marked. It’s a real shame about her eye but animals are so adaptable I’m sure she will be fine. She’s in very good caring hands. Take care, keep safe. 💕 Dorset, UK
