Thanks Harry but I got to say it or people just comment and say I am doing it wrong ect but I am a trying

[@harrymeldrum9994]

@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123. James always people criticise and sometimes they don’t know themselves. I have build my own pond and design and I am not a specialist. You are thinking of all the eventuality in the pond design. You are working very hard and going in the correct direction and you have looked into it very deep. Just don’t let them make you feel inferior mate. Keep up Thea great work.

Well done James what a build we are doing our pond build too so we know how hard you are grafting. It is not has complex has yours is but still a great hobby we can all enjoy together. Thx m8 for documenting your build really enjoying seeing your progress and getting some great ideas along the way.

[@royfoord3595]

Great video as usual mate great how you film and update as you go esp as your doing it on your own

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

It’s hard work to film and do but I got skills lol 😂

[@kych011]

Looking good mate

[@beedonskoi5101]

All looking good mate, consider using single block from your base up to ground and back filling then lay them flat after that, just an idea as that's how I did mine, gives you more pond volume.

[@Tom_Prendiville]

Great job James mate 👍🏼👏🏼

[@ronhart4166]

James, you are blessed with a beautiful family !! I wanted to mention to you about the glue you chose for your pipe. Just so you know for the future. You are supposed to use gray glue for sch 80 pipe. It gets a lot hotter to bond the pipe. Your pipe is NOT under pressure so you should be fine. Just thought I would mention it. Looking good 👊

[@paulburt9183]

Yer need visqueen in the bottom mate, that Sandy soil will suck water out of your cony like lightning, remember the wetter the mix the weaker it is👍

[@BONP1E]

Spot on boi

[@chrisbeckett7228]

Looking good, some graft you are putting in. I’m building mine at the moment. Not far from fiberglass now.

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

Get on mate

[@jacklilley3845]

The wet r dry is good for repairs and running water but if you are using new pipe and and can wait a few hours for it to dry I recommend Saba S3 glue.

[@rickvaux5204]

Getting there Buddy, how are the fish these days, we haven't seen them for a while ?!

[@Pj-yy2my]

hi mate do you think its cheaper to run a gas boiler heater or ashp thanks

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

Deffo gas all the way is cheaper

[@robeng2267]

Great job James, the gas pipe ideally needs to come through the wall but make sure it's sleeved when it enters the wall ( by that I mean yous a bigger pipe on the outer ,copper or plastic I.e if your using 22mm copper then yous 28mm copper but you'll only need the depth of the filter house wall to make sure its protected against corrosion etc.. 👍

[@robeng2267]

Also James maybe cheaper and alot easier to clip gas pipe along the back wall rather than digging again

[@mackenziepm]

Just to let you know...I fancied purchasing a mug but the site appear to be down. You may want to check that.

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

Is it it works 4 me ? Strange ?

Hi I just get “oops we can’t find that sight” tried on safari and chrome browser and got same results. Really enjoying the project just thought be a good way to show a bit of support and a mug is always useful.

[@darrenwhitehead3406]

Hey James everything's looking good mate before you connect the blue water pipe have you put the nylon inserts in the ends of the pipe this stops the pipe from crushing when you tighten it up I've made this mistake myself once and it leaked cheers daz

[@AMGINE1000]

every vid is Progress mate :)

[@MyPhilw]

Coming along mate , was is the size difference between the old one and new build , are you going to put window in it ? I’ve been thinking about extending mine or rebuilding a bigger one with window lately ,

[@Leon-uy5gr]

I installeren a empty 110 pipeline from under my house to my filter house. I put a line in it. Now if i need something i can pull of throug. Inside the pipe runs water and electricity and utp cable.

[@gazzaw1980]

[@markmontgomery2465]

How many gallons is this pond going to be? How big is your biggest fish?

[@ryanotter1747]

You work a lot more accurate than most builders I know, proper mate. Make sure that gas pipe is sleeved as it comes through your house . Are you using coated malleable copper underground? What size you putting in?any advice with the gas/plumbing more than willing to help. If I was closer I could join it all up for you, unfortunately I’m about 300mile away in Norfolk

What kind of pipe and fittings are those? Do you not have to glue those? I'm referring to the Orange Pipes. I assume they are Drain Only. But I can't wrap my Head around a push fit being sufeccient with the amount of Pressure from the Water Volume. I've just never seen that type of Pipe here in The US. Looks Great Though. Can't wait to see the end result

[@dougiemontana4815]

I take my hate off to you, amazing work so far. How many gallons will that pond be, I reckon one 4” would have done it, you’ll need a lot of flow going through 2 of them.
