I am so jazzed for you, Theo! You are so joyful building this pond. What a great feature for your acreage. You’re gonna have so much fun in there and your guests. Hopefully I’ll be a guest one day!

[@brendaglauner9944]

Looks beautiful

[@susanalbone5101]

It’s a no brainer and you have the satisfaction of knowing that it was all done by your own fair hands. Well done. Take care, keep safe. 💕 Dorset, UK

[@judithfryer7024]

Fantastic job. Looks great❤

[@marcellamoroney8521]

I never thought, I'd enjoy watching a pond project but hey I'm here and loving it 👌

[@terijohnson3110]

Happy Birthday Theo!🎉🎂The pond is looking great and can’t wait to see what you do with the landscaping.👍🏻

[@Anderbender]

This is one of Theo’s best projects. Can’t wait to see it done! ❤

[@barbarakujawa320]

I, as an 83 yearling am sooooo proud of you kids. What a fantastic couple! Always looking forward to your videos. ❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@2freedomjourney]

What you spent on the pond is truly worth it, very rewarding to create and build something that will bring you joy but don’t forget nature, fish frogs etc will thrive in it, I would build too if I had a piece of land like yours.

[@seekersofrhythm]

I am constantly blown away by your commitment to all your the projects you take on. The way you're allowing nature to do her part and by putting in infrastructure that works within the natural environment. Everything you have done so far on and around miracle mountain is so inspiring. I am so looking forward to the part of the ever changing landscape. I enjoy your channel so much and always looking forward to the next installment. My very best wishes to you both and here's to the next phase. God bless you and stay safe J. xx

[@franceshurt3517]

Hi guys you two amaze me in every episode, Theo is so accomplished in everything he does and Bee you are the best support in all things, you both make me feel at peace, I lost my soulmate four years ago and seeing you together reminds me of our life together, thankyou for this snippet into your happy lives, especially you Bee its great to see you so content, cheers my lovelies!!!🥰😘😘👍👍🙏🙏

[@Moonlightdance58]

I’m with you, Bea! I hate that gooshy feeling!

[@narellefurness6133]

Theo has done an amazing job, constructing the pond from scratch, he should feel so proud. I have a question not related to the pond, whatever happened to your house in the village, that you were both renovating for extra income?

[@lindacox8156]

You are sooooo INCREDIBLE THEO‼️ You are too Bea❤️👍 Miracle Mountain really is many miracles and you 2 just continue to make them happen‼️👍😊❤️💙

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Thank you Guys for a lovely video. Second time around. That pond, boy do we want some wildlife thriving in it. Will you have a little fishing boat in there. All the best mates👍👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki

[@littledave555]

Looking good big love ❤from uk 🇬🇧

[@lawli56]

Looking good. I can't wait to see it when it's totally finished and then maybe in a year or so to see how it develops over time like the other pond further up the mountain. ❤❤❤

[@theindieprojects]

Thanks! Us too, the wildlife pond transformed so much over the past year in the mountain so this one should be epic this time next year with the plants and stuff 👏

[@TheHiawatha]

Incredible (as always)!

[@connieverbeck1110]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏! I am amazed at how quickly the pond is filling up!! The Clay is really working!! So takes me back to when we were developing our pond! Sniff. lol. It is going to be such a joy watching it may all come together! You might consider doing a nightly walk/stomp around the bottom of the pond that is under water we found that very helpful to keeping the level rising. Oh hubby found a couple of cross beams from telephone poles. Brought them home. We used them for a ladder off the end of tge ladder. Has proven very handy. Anyway I share the joy with you. Great work!!

[@raquelfernandez463]

[@rianahayes84]

Thank you, Bea and Theo, for sharing this magnificent project with us, It is truly Ingenius. Theo you are a fantastic and amazing versatile builder. -all-rounder.

[@DustyKorpse]

Super impressed by what you guy’s have achieved. Very curious to see what interesting wildlife visits the pond as it gets established 👍🏻💚

[@SwanSong1234]

Pond is coming along great. 👍 Theo is a well rounded craftsman, he can do anything he sets his mind to. Bee it's so nice having you back & happy. I like your hair growing out. I liked your natural color, it is lovely. I have swimmers shoes that mud can't get into & my feet are same from the bottom. I couldn't stand sloshing around in the water especially with soggy socks on. 🙃 Take care, be safe 💜💙🕊️

[@kastah]

Theo is like me, I have to have ponds on my properties so I have, my self, built three ponds at three properties. This last one, I had fish, just got rid of them, because I am trying to sell next year and have to find a place with less work and expenses, I am not young anymore and want to use money on travels, cafe-life with friends etc. Well done Theo, you are a very clever "working-horse", you two fit perfectly together. Light and love

[@AjayCTN]

Love the development. Can't wait for the time to fly by to see what the pond will look like. ❤😂

[@barburich5796]

Looks amazing

[@lomalinke5042]

Did not see it coming, but I'm completely FLASHED by the pond series. LOVE it. I wonder what kind of greenery Theo will be planting. Can't wait! Did I say that I love it? I'll say it again. I LOVE it.

[@shubadue]

Your pond is kinda shaped like a heart💗

[@suehall3298]

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

This is a wonderful addition to the homestead.

[@pamlucas1326]

Beautiful pond and dock.Theo is so clever.

[@TheDog_Chef]

You may want to invest into some hip waders. You will have continued maintenance that you will need to go into the water for. It’s looking good! It will be lovely once all the plants are installed. Hope you have a wildlife cam to set up. I imagine it’s going to be quite the party!

[@raktoda707]

What an undertaking! Fab results....from first scoop of Earth to last nail on deck....it will be your own (Otis Reddings "Sitting on the Dock" maybe not on a bay but better yet over the waters of a dream

[@zurastewart6375]

Wow! Great, hard working job on the pond, love the water feature and dock. Love seeing you both happy and enjoying all that Miracle Mountain continues to bless you with.👏🤞 🐠 🐟🌞😘

[@rolandtb3]

Watering hole. Some trees, shrubbery, grass, some peat gravel and sand for a beach area.

[@anna.draussen]

love it! so excited to see the progress! thank you for sharing ❤

[@ivonnevandersteen2540]

What a lovely job you guys did there 😻. Looking forward to see the end result!

[@colly1952]

Theo, you'll need to put some of that wood protector at the end of each board you've cut.

[@emmyholmes780]

Woot woot!! Look at their go on his latest adventure! Looking good! Hope you're both well and having a joyous time.

[@theindieprojects]

Nothing can stop Theo! 🌟

[@dawnerickson-rohrer4107]

Your videos are so positive and funny and you both work so hard. So it’s nice seeing you relax too.

I am so excited and over flowing with joy to see the rapid progress. It is stunning. Waiting to see the dive in on the next video

Fantastic job Theo. Can’t wait to see it established and full of life.

[@cathybrewer8958]

This turned out so beautiful. You both have done a wonderful job on this project. So exciting to see what else you do. Amazing job.

[@euchrideucrow1970]

Sitting on the dock of the pond… c’mon Otis Redding! It’s looking amazing.

[@thizizliz]

Oh ! That's what you did to anchor the posts to support the deck - what a great plan. I was wondering about all the mud but you've got a plan for all that too - I love the way you two sort things out and then make them happen. It's awesome. I'm so excited for you to be able to sit on the doc and fish or float in that water to cool off, or swim for exercise and have the fish and the plants to clean it. What a great addition to your property.

[@skyeseaborn1170]

The music was beautiful this week. I’m amazed with what you two create.❤

[@kindness5130]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Absolutely amazing work. Beautiful! Crazy progress on your property. Blessings.

Well done Theo, its looks brilliant. I cant wait to see it full of water, plants and wildlife.

Wow, how fast it has filled up, great job, Theo! Many happy birthdays to come!

[@brendagoddard3494]

Amazing job on the pond. What beauty it will bring to your property. I hope this has inspired you to build more ponds in all different areas.

[@ElizabethBarber-tu9ey]

Awesome savings!
