This Is The Most Water We’ve Ever Had In The Pond

[@cashk100]

Thank you. I love watching the pond updates.

[@markjohnson5556]

Not boring. Pond updates are cool.

[@samsdoinstuff]

BEAUTIFUL parade!!! What a wonderful representation for rural America 🇺🇸 🤠👍

[@ianmarsden8568]

Excellent progress - Thanks for the update. You must be a lot happier...

[@HometownAcres]

I am

[@richardwest-q8w]

Sir, your efforts to build a pond have been both monumental and fruitful.

[@MarkAnderhalt]

Linesville Tractor Parade is a huge hit, so much so there are at least 2 others in the same area, The pond is a win, Great job figuring out the problems.

[@cgsoutdoors_professor3883]

Congrats! Finally some positive news on the ponds; they look great 👍

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

I love small town festivals ❤ It's something people from cities or larger towns wouldn't understand. Great update on the ponds 👍

[@johnkirby6547]

That's a nice parade Adam for sure. The pond update was a great idea to put together over a week of weather, rain, snow no sun. . It's definitely getting full.

[@daveolson5042]

Best update yet !!!!!!!

[@vonderdornburg]

It's cool to see your work on the ponds pay off. Congratulations 👏

[@Hardlyable]

Maybe you could mention a reminder of where the overflow from pond #1 empties to.

[@up2u162]

Great intro! Glad to see the pond is filling!👍🙏

[@ronaldferino3414]

Glad to see great results from a lot of hard work and money spent to see you reaching your goal and getting that pond full. Hopefully it'll maintain and stay full during the summer months, I'm rooting for you.

[@Riverguide33]

Well done, Adam! Enjoy the season, and your success with the ponds! 👍👍

[@garydunnjr8176]

Just simply amazing , and extremely exciting!

[@tompurvis1261]

The almost full pond must be very satisfying with the work you have done this year.

[@tonyputman3398]

What an exciting parade. The kids will remember and talk about it for the rest of their lives! God bless y'all!!

[@b1air77]

Been waiting for the pond update and it did not dissappoint!

[@MattFoushee]

Thanks for the update

[@darthgbc363]

Cool.... Tractor Parade... Pond update 👍

[@Dobrinich]

Great stuff keep up the good work!!

[@DanKlein_1]

that was fun to see the progress as it is happening. It is amazing how many more gallons it must take on a daily basis to increase the same amount of height as the diameter gets larger and larger.

[@jimraftery4592]

Not boring. I started watching your channel because of the pond build. Your approach was very different from Bama Bass that was happening about the same time. Different resources and different reasons to build the pond. Still watch every video from both channels, as well as Letsdig18. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@harleyjetdriver1957]

This is a great video! Best Christmas video of the year!

[@tomhuwar3341]

I enjoy very much watching your channel..keep those videos coming. Merry Christmas to you and your Family.

[@patrickdunne1150]

Not boring at all!

[@royb4266]

Saw your tractor and float at the parade, such a fun event for the kids each year!

[@frijoli9579]

That was actually pretty exciting!

[@scottburk4083]

Howdy Adam! Thanks for the pond update.I just moved to Erie on Thanksgiving. My pond was about two feet low then. I haven't been able to get back to the pond since we got almost four feet of snow. Maybe I'll take a walk out there tomorrow. Take care,stay warm and God Bless you all!!!🙏❤😊

[@frankward67]

Adam, I like these weeklong pond progression vids. Ponds are looking very good. Also that lighted tractor parade at the beginning of the video was pretty cool.

[@firstfreonwarrior]

Love it Adam.

[@EarlRWagnerJr]

Me too!! Fantastic

[@TheWiseChoiceFirewood]

Great update on the pond. You put alot of time and effort into it. Hope you get to skate on it soon.

[@flyinhighaerial3193]

Great update Adam, glad we are not going to see pond #4. Merry Christmas

[@kevinl4271]

Why am I so invested in pond updates?

[@grayrlsc1]

daily updates are great

[@DougNicholson-uh9ke]

Looks good. Long time coming.

[@billh2735]

Adam I enjoyed the parade, but more importantly I am very happy that your hard work is finally coming to fruition on the ponds. Anyway, stay safe healthy and warm. I hope you and yours have a very merry christmas. Bill H from crescent

[@njonebale7889]

That’s really cool hometown!….you should dig a nice trench from the side of pond two to pond three and make a brook style spillway or get nasty and do it from big pond all the way to pond two…with a little bridge action somewhere….best to start with a short run most likely.

[@andrewmckee6959]

Awesome video Adam

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

Water that comes out of the ground. Is always 55 degrees if it’s from the water table. This is the premise to geothermal heat pumps. We pump 90-120degree water into a pipe that drops 50 to 800’ depending on building size. Same with heating 38 degree water dropped into the earth the water comes back 55 every time. We can eliminate heat or add it. Geothermal heat pump. The water can cool down from 55 at the surface running threw pipes etc. PS. Spinning turbine for those times with no sun. !!!! Yes they need a lot of maintenance it’s worth it. Turbines on small scale are way more efficient then sun. You can hook a motor to it worst case. The combination of water /wind/sun. The new tech released next year will give you so much more capability on your homestead.

[@LorisSawmill]

THROUGH pipes. more efficient THAN sun. Can't spell?

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

@ you must be related to my English teachers. Nope can’t spell. Way to overlook all the important information. Provided.

[@dereksellars]

Thanks for the update. I was wondering also. It's coming along Great, I think. When it warms up you might have more water than you can handle. Hope not. Thanks, Adam

[@petenelson8136]

I hope you have a spillway for pond #3. I can see it overflowing later this spring when the heavy rains come and the other 2 ponds are full. You may also want to put some gravel/stone under the exit pipe into pond #3 so you don't undercut your bank as the water comes out. Love your channel, thanks for the pond update.

[@EarlRWagnerJr]

You're going to have to step it up next year with the parade. No big bulbs. Did you see that combine??? Wow

[@Ned-p1y]

Greenwich New York has a massive tractor parade the kids love it

[@hpw59]

awesome parade

[@zechariahring6445]

I saw you at the tractor parade. It was the first year we went. It’s a fun time!

[@jbbrown7907]

We had a big billboard on our skating pond when i was a kid (in the 1960s) the big red sign read... 1" a cat can walk on the ice 2"A dog can cross the ice 3" a child can walk on the ic 4" an asult can go ice fishing 5" The ice is safe for groups to go iceskating 1' A car can drive on the ice 14" a plow truck can plow the pond. 2' a bus can park on the ice 3' busses can park sidebyside 4' the ice is safe.

[@HometownAcres]

Haha that’s great. I need to make one

[@alvalonline]

Get a small inverter, a few AGM batteries and set up some solar storage for the pond pump.

[@1amaker]

Once the pond is full a complete recap video would be awesome. Even if the video is sped up go from bare ground field mowing to full pond and point in between.

[@HometownAcres]

That’s a good idea

[@billthompson9482]

You need to slope the pump hose so it gravity drains when not in use this would prevent ice from forming. Perhaps add a pro vent at the high point of the pipe to allow for air intake when off and seal when under pressure.

[@I8U4FUN]

suggestion, how about establishing a full off grid power system with setting up lithium batteries with a power inverter? That would help you on those continuous cloudy days during winter in your geographic location.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Probably kicking yourself for selling that generator.😂

[@HometownAcres]

Yep

[@joemurray9131]

WHat would happen if pond #3 starts to overflow? Great video!

[@HometownAcres]

The water will just go to a 30” culvert under the road and into a nearby creek

[@twodogsandtheirfamily]

what about doubling the solar panels and adding a battery or two? Something like the Epoch 460ah heated battery? That should run the pump for several hours offbattery. 🐾🐾

[@kennyp507]

I'm intrigued with total gallons in the main pond and the weight of the water compacting the base and side wall of the dam

[@allatv82]

Make sure you get a debris guard on that stand pipe.

[@vrijvolk]

You can break the ice in pond nr2 and nr 3 and bring it to pond nr1

[@barrowlandscapes7419]

Did you purchase the Ls tractor

[@livingforthenow2236]

Any concerns of the ice pinching pond 1 stand pipe and as the water level rises it pulling the pipe up? Great video as usual!

[@HometownAcres]

I think it will be fine but we’ll see. If it was a lake with a bigger surface are and more ice maybe

[@davidn1369]

I look forward to your pond videos. Glad to see the big pond is finally getting full. Btw, did you give up on the ram pump?

[@HometownAcres]

Yes. It seemed kind of finicky. It would run for 2-3 days at a time and then just randomly stop and it was kind of a pain in the but to get going again

[@sharpshorts]

Ram pump from pond 3 into pond 2 ? How big a ram pump would you need to pump from pond 2 into pond 1 using the same line as the solar pump?

[@HometownAcres]

A ram pump needs flowing water which I do not have in this situation

[@billdillon3886]

Our solar has a battery pack that stores several hours of energy.

[@fie1329]

All that work starts to pay off from now on!

[@LorisSawmill]

Maybe you should have buried the pipe from pond 2 to the main pond below the frost line.

[@HometownAcres]

I did. I just haven’t cut the extra pipe that comes out of the ground yet. That’s the only part that froze

[@loodusefilm7881]

I think you should choose names to bond nr 2 and 3 also bond nr 1 could have it's dedicated name 😛

[@BlackMan614]

From drought to flood.

[@richkamminga4283]

Oh, I guess that's the downside of a solar pump. It'll shut off when the sun goes down and the pipe will freeze...

[@HometownAcres]

If the entire line is buried it shouldn’t

[@bagermaster-club]

It is recommended to clean any lake with a mini dredger. It is necessary to remove bottom sediments. A mini dredger can be assembled from two motor pumps and a raft.

[@pjp80s]

Aren’t you worried that if the pond is overwhelmed with water your dam could fail flooding everything downstream?

[@HometownAcres]

There is an emergency spillway.

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

stop making that loud lip smacking sound at the start of your sentences. Cringe and unwatchable

[@saltrock9642]

I never noticed but your comment is much more annoying.

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

@@saltrock9642 You can't handle the truth - Lol
