Expanding The Private Beach At Our Pond

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Well that would be awesome to have in your back yard. Nice work!

[@IndyFarmLife]

Thank you, Sir. Technically, in the grand scheme, this is in your backyard too. Come on up! 😁

Looks like you'll be ready to go for the 4th of July weekend fun at the beach!!. Love watching your boy, he did a great job as your traffic cop.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Thanks Pete! Yea the 4th is always a big day around here. My son loves all this stuff as much as I do. Going to be such great help over the years to come.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Yes!!! Beach volleyball! And cat turds…😂

[@IndyFarmLife]

Haha based upon the prints I typically see out there I think they are most likely to be raccoon turds. Luckily I have a big rake!

[@Kcolby47]

Nice job Adam. Looks good.

[@IndyFarmLife]

Thank you! It's well worth the effort!

A beach party with you would be fun. Good thing it's not my place or there would be ducks everywhere! Well deep fried duck is very tasty!

[@IndyFarmLife]

haha We get a few ducks and geese early each spring, but then they take off. Our pond gets deep pretty fast so that may be part of it. I also know coyotes are in the area. That's probably the bigger reason.

@@IndyFarmLife have you ever tried Muscovy ducks? They are somewhat tame but can fly. Around here we have no predators except hawks and gators, but you could set up a duck house for them at night.

How are the leaks going? The pond looks full

[@IndyFarmLife]

We don't have any leaks in the pond itself. We did have one with the overflow but I fixed that a year or so ago. We actually need about 16" to be full. It's been very dry. I may one day have to drill a well for the pond to keep it full. Costly move, but I would like to see it all the way up.

Thinking about using the HF tarps for my beach too. How have they held up over the year?

[@IndyFarmLife]

Do it! They have been awesome. I have one air bubble that got trapped under one in the water and it's still there! They are pretty tough!

[@EdsoutdoorCooking]

Hi Indy, what did you use under the sand in the water where people swim ?

[@IndyFarmLife]

I have some big Harbor Freight tarps under the sand, both out and in the water. I have a video about the build out there.
