Great job on the video! We had fun watching this install and grabbing some clips. Not sorry that we missed the daring plunge. 🥶 Thanks for the invite and call us anytime you're looking to move some more ground water. Enjoy your new pond.
Thanks for helping on this project! You can come back next summer for a warm dip instead! Oh, and I enjoyed your video too! th-cam.com/video/lT0Q1E4TsNI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3azd3qMtrf07At8S
Hey @flintandwalling - very cool of you to support a local creator with sponsorship, Neil has a growing group of followers who appreciate his recommendations, hope you see returns on this investment soon. And Neil, a November plunge is something your girls will never forget, well done!
That's awesome! It's great to see American made products like this. I am definitely searching you out the next pump I have to buy! And since I have a lot of properties with wells that won't be to long! LOL
This project deserves my first ever comment under a YT video. What an amazing project and what memories you made and will make. "Extremely cool dude award" awarded! Enjoy it!
No joke. I've spent the last year and a half watching the 5 Acre Pond channel and I'm glad this one started right about the time that one was "finished"
Holding those girls hands and jumping into that pond is something you guys will NEVER forget. The pond process was worth it just for that IMO. Congratulations
How enjoyable this episode was. So positive. The end was the best. I started on this journey with you because I had been watching other channels building ponds- but yours was different & you’re totally different in a positive way. I stayed on & eventually watched every episode. I love the eclecticism of your channel. Family, friends, local businesses & your town all immersed & intertwined in every show. Thanks , you got a follower of your channel as long as you want to keep making it.
I’m sure this project has resulted in a well deserved bump in viewers if your channel. So satisfying to watch every step of this project. It’s like the Colin Furz tunnel build
The joy of seeing a great American father’s love for making happy memories with his children. Keep up the great work and love your video’s. Thank you for sharing. Blessing’s to you and all your family and friends that have been apart of it.
Thank you so much for sharing in the great feeling of seeing the well finished for now and the pond full. It was an incredible and educational journey and I am so thankful you took us along with you. Great shot with the combine working the corn harvest. Neil your ability to compile a great narrative visually is exceptional and it has been great seeing how that has improved over the years. Thank you so much!
Congratulations, my friend. I smiled from ear to ear throughout this entire video. The excitement of the girls came shinning through in the video. - BTW- Happy holidays 🎅🏾 🌲 🤶🏽 🦃
Holy snickerdoodle!! Thank you so much for the heartwarming and educational content. I love your family friendly tone; your values really shine through. Being in LA, away from home in the Midwest, your videos have brought me comfort, as if I were back home. I know I’ll be back to watch any project, task, or chore you decide to share here! Enjoy the holidays! -Josh
What a great series! From start to finish and how much fun is that shot of the polar plunge?!? Your girls will look back at that and laugh! Great job as always Neil 😁👍
Neil, I don't know you, or even your family. I am pretty sure I could find Indiana (I live in Ohio), but, when it is all said and done, I am HAPPY for you and your family, and you have JUST made my day! Congrats!
I love seeing how things like the well and pump install happen. It’s so cool that your dad can help you with the electrical stuff! I can’t believe that you 3 jumped in on a cold November day! 🥶 😊
That gave me shivers!!! It was Cool!!! Or should I say, “Frigid?” Glad you got it filled before freezing. You’ll have no excuse for staying inside once it freezes over thick enough to Ice Skate! That instant of 98.6 meets fifty degrees has a way of etching its way into your soul. I know that for a fact… I’ve filled a few pools in my past. Those girls will remember their first Polar Plunge forever. Having done it with dad will endear the moment into their hearts as well. Nice job Neil, you are rightfully proud.
Thanks so much Dave! I know I'm not gonna forget it. To be honest it was a bit invigorating with the mindset that it was intentional. I still don't see it becoming a habit however. Thanks as always and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Watching that timelapse of the fill was so rewarding. Congrats on the new pond guys. The pump on my swimming pool here in California went bad some years back and I never had the time to deal with it, so my 9' deep swimming pool ended up becoming a pond. Now I just keep fish in there to keep the mosquitos out. Haha.
Flint & Walling made a video of their visit too if you'd like to see a different perspective on this pump install: th-cam.com/video/lT0Q1E4TsNI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3azd3qMtrf07At8S
Congratulations on the pond build. I'm sure you will be counting the days until summer. We start swimming around Easter, but I think you will most likely have to wait a little longer.
So wholesome I can’t believe in my busy life and all the TH-cam I watch I have been looking forward to this random dudes pond to fill up! Great video congrats nothing better than a completed project!
Nothing but a big smile on my face! I've loved the progression and I'll be sticking around for a long time coming. You've inspired me to think about doing my own pond someday. You are truly living your best life with your family and it's amazing to see!
That is an awesome finish to the pond, looks fantastic and fun, enjoy, I know I enjoyed watching it develop over a period of time, thanks for the update sir, Happy thanksgiving to you all.
I find myself living the American dream vicariously through your videos ! You did an amazing job Felicidades señor Y que Dios lo bendiga A usted y su familia
As many have already said this was a great series. I look forward to more videos on how you keep it looking so nice. Also, you sure seem to have a great family.
How fun! Been waiting for you folks to finally fill your pond. Congratulations!!!!🎉 So happy for you, family and friends. Now you need a camera to check out what critters stop by. BTW, has your wife ever noticed you sound like Kevin Koster? I’m from Clifton, Ohio originally but we have been watching you from Ames, Iowa. It’s really cold here too! November 19, 2023
One of the things I appreciate about content like this is that it increases my general knowledge, while also being entertaining and interesting. I may not ever need to know the ins and outs of building a backyard pond. But I gained some knowledge oh how a well is installed. I can easily see where I might need to talk to a well contractor about a dying well pump. Having some knowledge of how they work will help me have a competent conversation and know what to expect for repairs.
I LOVE IT! Congratulations guys! We have all been anxiously waiting & anticipating the pond fill. Beautiful Family, Great videos & excellent work ethic! Looking forward to the next project. TII
Congrats Neil on a job well done !! A great completion to a beginning of great adventures and fun. Best looking pond in Indiana. Also pretty cool on going local with the well pump.
What a great video to capture the culmination of such an enormous project. All the weeks and months of preparation, false summits, mid-project achievements, and frustrating obstacles.. To see the smiles and yelps of a family jumping into the pond is just such a cool way to preserve an incredible memory! Truly makes me think about how I'm taking record of the important memories with my kids. We're not digging a pond, but i can't help think that these kind of videos are going to be such a treasure for any family to look back on the times they spent together overcoming challenges and building the shared experiences of life together with. Thanks for taking us along with you! All the best from the West Coast!
I was anxious waiting to see pond being filled...so can imagine how much more you all wanted it filled. Laughed at youngest girl hurting to get out...but she did go in with you so kudos to her. Also to you and oldest. I am with mom and would have waited for summer.
I've been watching your Pond videos from the beginning and was excited the whole time when the water would come in. Thanks for the great videos and congratulations on these great memories for your girls. Warm greetings from Germany.
Look into Cycle Stop Valves for your wells. Best thing i’ve done for my well system. Been loving your videos for years now, thanks for all you do and for bringing us along for it all
Awesome. I watched the last few minutes of your video recap with a smile on my face. What a great family you have. Congratulations on all of this. This whole series has been interesting, fun, and wholesome. Very happy for you. I live in Spring Arbor, Mi. Drive a semi and in the beginning of your series you explained something about the water table in northern Ohio and I’m on 24 between Fr Wayne and Toledo a couple times a week. I wonder how far I drive from your house. Anyway, congrats on the pond, your property looks great.
What an awesome project! Great job and love the videos! It’s people like you on who on TH-cam and are brave enough to post their projects who give me inspiration to do various projects on our property. Just not brave enough to make a video for all to see! What a great addition to your property. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.
Another great video Neil! So happy for y’all! Lots of memories will be made in and around that pond! Keep up the great work! I am here for the long haul 😎
Congratz ;) It was a pleasure to watch this project from the beginning . The outcome is beautiful and I am sure you´re gonna make a lot of memorable moments in and around the pond with your family :)
Hey Neil, your place looks great! I have a similar situation with my pond (about the same size) I have all my barn downspouts and my whole paved driveway draining into it and it still goes down 6" a month in a dry summer like this one. This weekend I have a couple guys direct boring 600' of 3" poly line to the creek in the back of my property (never dries up) and I can pump either way depending weather the water is high or low. we'll see!
Experience has proven, beyond any room for doubt whatsoever, that there is not the slightest chance of getting a wife to jump into a pond full of cold water... willingly... 😉
68 feet? WOW!!! My first well was 1,080 feet deep... second well was 1,225 feet deep.... still no water. I need to stop watching well dgging videos. LOL.
Thank you for showing this; this gives me an idea what the well we had in our last few years at our cabin was like. Dad had a small shed built over the well head; if we had ever used the cabin over the winter, we would have made sure to insulate it. As it was, we never had trouble with it freezing, as Dad at least made sure the shed was weatherproof. It seems though that the HOA put in water supply lines to the cabins a few years after we sold the cabin, as the new owners have apparently removed the well since.
I just came across your channel and I am so glad I did…. I find it is sooo interesting and I do want to say it’s a BEAUTIFUL PROJECT for you and your family…. I can’t believe how many comments about you being RICH or several other RUDE comments… All I can say You work HARD and you have a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY…MANY BLESSINGS and keep your projects FLOWING….LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 🤗❤️🤗
So awesome to see your channel grow! And to see the pond full now! I've been around since your early wood burning stove videos! Keep up the wholesome content
My husband and I helped replace my son-in-law's deep well. His pump is 221 feet down. We had to pull the pipe out and down through their yard. We had the help of his neighbor who replaces these pumps regularly. He said the pumps usually last about 10 years. It was quite an experience. So glad you were able to get the needed water in your pond.
Wow, it's finally filled. OK, now you need to give it a name, hey if you can have a truck named Louie, why not a pond named "?" I think I will leave it up to you guys. 😂 but it would also be a good idea for a naming contest. Good luck Neil. P.S. I didn't think you and the girls would jump in. Thanks for the great video.
Wonderful episode/milestone that pre-polar plunge will be a memory frozen in Pond Folklore. Now the only question is will this plunge be an annual event 😂. All your questions enhances the full picture, bringing human knowledge and skills development from the Operators horning the tricks of the trade and Loving what they do. The pond is still a blank slate ready for development incorporating Vision and the Love of Family. 😀👍👍👍
Neil, when I seen that water flowing from the well, into the pond, I think I was as happy as your daughters, and now you have a backup well if you have any trouble in the future. It`s absolutely gorgeous with the surrounding cement work and the giant pier you had poured. Airation, me I gotta put some sort of foutain in it, just to hear that water runnig, what a great place to share with family, or just take a nap or read a book, running water just has a calming effect. The done shots are beautiful, it neat, clean and finished looking, not just a hole dug in the ground. The look on your daughters faces after the plunge, PRICELESS, well done sir.
Came for the pond. Stayed for you, your wonderful family and a perfectly balanced channel full of education and entertainment seamlessly blended in wholesome videos! Thank you for your work, you inspire me to be better in my day to day!
Thanks for sharing, my family in LA enjoyed watching! Such a different life than ours and the pond looks amazing. Great family, nice narration, will keep watching for the reunion.
Great job on the video! We had fun watching this install and grabbing some clips. Not sorry that we missed the daring plunge. 🥶 Thanks for the invite and call us anytime you're looking to move some more ground water. Enjoy your new pond.

Pond's full I can unsubscribe now..... Only joking.. I'm hoping there's going to be a winter tractor project
😂 same
NOOO! My biggest fear!! What about a dump truck project?
@@digdrivediy Even better 👍
Lol
Some ice skating videos.
This project deserves my first ever comment under a YT video. What an amazing project and what memories you made and will make. "Extremely cool dude award" awarded!
Enjoy it!
Wow! Grateful to be your first comment receiver! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!
Literally the coolest thing on youtube right now. Big congrats to your daughters for facing their fears.
No joke. I've spent the last year and a half watching the 5 Acre Pond channel and I'm glad this one started right about the time that one was "finished"
@@martymiller9788 BamaBass has good content but nothing was an entertaining as his pond being built!
@@martymiller9788bamabass pond isn’t finished. He’s building a auqascape pond addition now.
Dont wait till summer
Throw mom in the water
It can't literally be the coolest. Unless you're talking about water temperature lol.
Holding those girls hands and jumping into that pond is something you guys will NEVER forget. The pond process was worth it just for that IMO. Congratulations

Hey thanks so much. That means a lot.
As a Girl Dad myself, I teared up. Congrats to you and your family, man
what's a girl dad
There’s a lifetime of memories that will be made around that pond. Great work Koch family!
The only thing that I would do differently. Would be to put a ground fault plug in for the outside outlet. Pond looks great 👍
Perfect way to cheer up a boring Sunday. love your videos they never fail to please 🍿
Thanks so much!
I’m sure this project has resulted in a well deserved bump in viewers if your channel. So satisfying to watch every step of this project. It’s like the Colin Furz tunnel build
Goal accomplished! What great memories you guys have made. Good job Mom and Dad.
Thanks so much! 😊
And good future memories with all your family.
Exactly, a huge part of the great memories this pond is going to provide was all the work put into building it!
Words cannot describe how happy your video's make me. Always nice seeing your dad and the rest of the family
The joy of seeing a great American father’s love for making happy memories with his children. Keep up the great work and love your video’s. Thank you for sharing. Blessing’s to you and all your family and friends that have been apart of it.

A great example of a wholesome American family wish there was a million more like you
There are, Gods taking care of each one.
There are. Much more than a million.
Awesome stuff as always. Great to see it finished. That drone shot transitioning from the before to after was really cool. Nice job Neil.
wow big job and waow big $$$$$
The pond turned out great. As always, your skill and vision pays off. Congratulations!
Thanks Eric!
Holy snickerdoodle!!

I’m so happy to see it full and the antics with the cats and kids made it beyond joyful to watch! Congratulations and on to the next project!!
As impressive as the pond is, I think I am more impressed that you somehow kept that hat on after jumping in the water! 😂
It's great to see your pond filled up , looking forward to seeing what type of winter projects your going to do , all the best from Ireland
Nothing but a big smile on my face! I've loved the progression and I'll be sticking around for a long time coming. You've inspired me to think about doing my own pond someday. You are truly living your best life with your family and it's amazing to see!

Felicidades señor

As many have already said this was a great series. I look forward to more videos on how you keep it looking so nice. Also, you sure seem to have a great family.
This has been such a great series. Congratulations!! ❤
Also the cats in the boat with the girls was so cute! Reminds me of me when I was little
You’re getting pretty good at this story telling thing. Well done.
How fun! Been waiting for you folks to finally fill your pond. Congratulations!!!!🎉 So happy for you, family and friends. Now you need a camera to check out what critters stop by.

Thanks for bringing us along on the journey with your family.
You bet. Thanks Jay
Favorite part of my day! Happy thanksgiving Koch family!
Same to you!
That is a beautiful pond one heck of a job nicely done congratulations on a lifetime of fun for ur family
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels!! Going to say it again! I need some merch!! Open a online store!!
It's coming! Stay tuned!!!
One of the things I appreciate about content like this is that it increases my general knowledge, while also being entertaining and interesting.
I may not ever need to know the ins and outs of building a backyard pond. But I gained some knowledge oh how a well is installed. I can easily see where I might need to talk to a well contractor about a dying well pump. Having some knowledge of how they work will help me have a competent conversation and know what to expect for repairs.
the result really speaks for itself. it's looking great!
I LOVE IT! Congratulations guys! We have all been anxiously waiting & anticipating the pond fill. Beautiful Family, Great videos & excellent work ethic!
Looking forward to the next project.
TII
Finally!! What a long wait but you and the family must be so happy to have it filled! Can’t wait to see more
Congrats Neil on a job well done !! A great completion to a beginning of great adventures and fun. Best looking pond in Indiana. Also pretty cool on going local with the well pump.
What a great video to capture the culmination of such an enormous project. All the weeks and months of preparation, false summits, mid-project achievements, and frustrating obstacles.. To see the smiles and yelps of a family jumping into the pond is just such a cool way to preserve an incredible memory!
Truly makes me think about how I'm taking record of the important memories with my kids. We're not digging a pond, but i can't help think that these kind of videos are going to be such a treasure for any family to look back on the times they spent together overcoming challenges and building the shared experiences of life together with.
Thanks for taking us along with you! All the best from the West Coast!

I've been watching your Pond videos from the beginning and was excited the whole time when the water would come in. Thanks for the great videos and congratulations on these great memories for your girls. Warm greetings from Germany.
That’s beautiful and the enjoyment you will get of your family enjoying the pond will be priceless.
Look into Cycle Stop Valves for your wells. Best thing i’ve done for my well system.
Been loving your videos for years now, thanks for all you do and for bringing us along for it all
Congrats on finishing the pond. It looks fantastic! 🏊🏽♂
Awesome. I watched the last few minutes of your video recap with a smile on my face. What a great family you have. Congratulations on all of this. This whole series has been interesting, fun, and wholesome. Very happy for you. I live in Spring Arbor, Mi. Drive a semi and in the beginning of your series you explained something about the water table in northern Ohio and I’m on 24 between Fr Wayne and Toledo a couple times a week. I wonder how far I drive from your house. Anyway, congrats on the pond, your property looks great.
Thanks David. You're within 5 miles!
So glad to see you being able to spend time with your family and enjoying the gifts that God gave you.
What an awesome project! Great job and love the videos! It’s people like you on who on TH-cam and are brave enough to post their projects who give me inspiration to do various projects on our property. Just not brave enough to make a video for all to see! What a great addition to your property. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.
Awesome! So glad to see you guys finally got it filled! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thanks so much for making the channel and sharing this with all of us! An amazing accomplishment!
Respect for all of your bravery jumping in that COLD pond!
Another great video Neil! So happy for y’all! Lots of memories will be made in and around that pond!
Keep up the great work! I am here for the long haul 😎
What a journey man, looks awesome! Congrats on getting it all done up, cant wait to see more. Keep on grinding and have a happy thanksgiving!!
Fellow Hoosier... love this and I love your channel. Last part had me smiling and tearing up.
Congratz ;) It was a pleasure to watch this project from the beginning . The outcome is beautiful and I am sure you´re gonna make a lot of memorable moments in and around the pond with your family :)
Your projects and videos are great ❤
Loved following this project! Glad you finally finished it! The rewards are priceless!
Nice job. I love the attention to detail with the landscaping.
You will enjoy the pond! Just knowing it is there gives you a psychological advantage of “calm”! Great content and fun and closure!!! Blessings 😁👍🏻🍀
My hat’s off to you brother! The pond project was cool to follow. I appreciate the time and effort you and your family put into bringing us along.
Another top-notch video with a great ending! Thanks Neil and family for posting! Always look fwd to visiting your channel for awesome content!
I have so enjoyed the journey of this pond, thank you guys for doing this!
Neil, It’s awesome looking!! The concrete pier truly was the best decision!! It looks classy and professional! Great job!!
Hey Neil, your place looks great! I have a similar situation with my pond (about the same size) I have all my barn downspouts and my whole paved driveway draining into it and it still goes down 6" a month in a dry summer like this one. This weekend I have a couple guys direct boring 600' of 3" poly line to the creek in the back of my property (never dries up) and I can pump either way depending weather the water is high or low. we'll see!
That was awesome. I'm so glad to see you and the girls finally getting in even though I'm sure it was freezing. Congrats, you did a beautiful job.❤️🙏
This is what life's all about "....to have life and to have it more abundantly"
Experience has proven, beyond any room for doubt whatsoever, that there is not the slightest chance of getting a wife to jump into a pond full of cold water... willingly... 😉
I concur.
68 feet? WOW!!! My first well was 1,080 feet deep... second well was 1,225 feet deep.... still no water. I need to stop watching well dgging videos. LOL.
Whoa!

Not very often I smile throughout the whole video… What a nice pond… I wouldn’t have done it any differently… Great job
It was nice watching this pond grow and grow and I hope you’ve had a nice time too
so stoked for your family!! What a great project and thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!!
Fantastic Neil and family ! Love it 🙌🏻
I've been waiting 80 years for this moment!
That's awesome but did you really hold your nose lol just busting your chops
Congrats on the pond and all the hard work
I just came across your channel and I am so glad I did…. I find it is sooo interesting and I do want to say it’s a BEAUTIFUL PROJECT for you and your family…. I can’t believe how many comments about you being RICH or several other RUDE comments… All I can say You work HARD and you have a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY…MANY BLESSINGS and keep your projects FLOWING….LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 🤗❤️🤗
So awesome to see your channel grow! And to see the pond full now! I've been around since your early wood burning stove videos! Keep up the wholesome content

Airation, me I gotta put some sort of foutain in it, just to hear that water runnig, what a great place to share with family, or just take a nap or read a book, running water just has a calming effect. The done shots are beautiful, it neat, clean and finished looking, not just a hole dug in the ground. The look on your daughters faces after the plunge, PRICELESS, well done sir.
Came for the pond.
Stayed for you, your wonderful family and a perfectly balanced channel full of education and entertainment seamlessly blended in wholesome videos!
Thank you for your work, you inspire me to be better in my day to day!
Great to see that baby full. Loved the plunge. That topped it off perfectly!
Thanks for sharing, my family in LA enjoyed watching! Such a different life than ours and the pond looks amazing. Great family, nice narration, will keep watching for the reunion.
