After flooding our pond for years, the absolute best and fastest way i have found to flooding the rink is to use my ice auger! Wear your rubber boots....drill your hole thru the ice. Clean all the ice and slush and toss off to the side. Drop the auger back down the hole and turn on the auger. It will bring hundreds of gallons of water up in seconds and in a minute or two it will reach out to the entire area. Access water runs back down the hole! Try it! Works amazing
You need to STOP worrying about the troll naysayers no matter how hard you try someone will find something negative so You Do you if if it happens to upset someone for heavens sake THAT'S on them. your content is solid and genuine.
Not to mention your someone I would be happy for my son to learn from. You’re very respectful and very thoughtful of what you are putting out for the world to see.
I’ve been watching you struggle with that pond for years now and I can tell the sound of your kids giggles is why you persevered. It has put a smile on my face that will last all day. Thank you ❤
I love this. To see the passion you put into projects simply for your family. So your little girl can throw snow at you. So your son to learn to get up when he falls. So many life lessons just in this one video. Thank you for sharing this with us. You sir are truly blessed.
Soooo not a waste of time. Hearing their excitement is worth every bit of work & money!! Anderson learned so fast! You really know a lot about the ice & how to "grow" it!! Great video, as always. God bless y'all. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. I'm fixing to watch it again!! ❤👍♥️🙏 Like I shared earlier this week, we got 10" of snow in South Louisiana Tuesday, & that special time with our Grands was such a blessing!! You'll get so many special times on that pond! Congratulations!!
Adam you're creating memories your kids will carry with them forever don't ever apologize for the haters if you have to explain it to them they'll never understand. Boys doing great 👍
Great video Adam. If anyone says that’s a waste of time. They-obviously don’t have kids or they are just jealous of what you have. All that matters is the kids enjoy it and they will talk about it for years 👍
Boy talk about a way back machine...50 years way back. I remember doing the same "dancing" on the ice as Anderson when my sister was trying to teach me. God bless you for the memory.❤❤❤
I have a bunch of private trails around my house that I keep groomed in the winter for walking and snowmobiling. For me, keeping the trails brushed and groomed is like you working for the perfect ice surface. Just something about all the work is so satisfying, and then to get to use it with the family makes it all worth it. My girls are 3.5 and 1 and we try to get out on the trails every chance we get. Pond looks great
You are making memories that will last forever. They will talk about this with their grandchildren. It warms my heart to see this. Get Anderson a couple milk crate to hold onto while he learns to skate. They work great.
I'll just sum it up as, 'You're a good Mom & Dad!' Core memories, sure. Fun, yep. Expanding their horizons, you bet. Great family and friend time, priceless.
Oh my goodness. I would have loved this when I was young. We had an outdoor rink in a park about 2 blocks where we lived, and yes, the core memories live with me forever. I first skated in 1965 when I was five yrs old. Loved it! Well done Daddy-O!!
Great job. As a father of four grown girls I can tell you for a fact that what you are doing is incredibly valuable!!!! My girls grew up on ten acres, playing in the woods, skating on the creek, falling out of trees (in a safe way, just off the ground) building all kinds of crazy contraptions by themselves, sledding... They learned sooooo much about cause and effect by making failing in small ways. I would watch them from far off doing something and seeing the progression of thought until they achieved what they were after. PRICELESS Not to mention all the exercise!!!!! From a dad that is super happy with all the effort he put in like you are doing.
How exciting… we had a lot of kids in neighborhood growing up and there was a pond behind a house up the street.. the neighborhood lived on that frozen pond in the wintertime… skating hockey and sledding on hill coming down to the pond.. wonderful memories 🥰
You're a good father and the kids will appreciate these memories, no doubt. I'm glad you wore the ice pick safety necklace during the early stages of dressing the pond. Have a great weekend. Cheers.
For every troll there will be hundreds of us knowing exactly why you do it. You and your wife should be proud of the job you are doing giving your children the most AMAZING childhood. A woodland and a pond for the summer/winter! Who needs anything else? I’m 45 and I would mind being adopted 😂 Congratulations on winning at life 👍🏻
It doesn't matter in the long run, as you say creating memories is the thing. Your kids will learn to skate and will always have that ability. You are making dad's great again. I enjoyed you doing all the work of course.
After watching to the end,... brought tears Dude! Like my Dad taught me how to ride a bike 65 years ago. (without training wheels and a helmit!)🤣 MEMORIES are PRINCESS!
I believe if you live in a place with winter weather, you need to find a way to enjoy it. Otherwise, winter is just a hassle. Glad to see your persistence with the pond has paid off and that you are getting the winter weather to enjoy it!
I heard you …loud and clear. It means a lot to you to be able to create a condition that others won’t have. You get joy out of it bc of that mindset. It was your choice, your decision, your goal, and your ability to see it through (with visible results) that makes it what it is. Thank you for sharing
my old township's rink used to allow young kids to use an over-turned 5 gallon bucket to rest their chest on, which enables kids to just focus on getting used to the footing. I bet you have a bunch of buckets that might do the trick. Lovely video and well worth the time and effort! TFP!
Thanks for the memories. Grew up on a lake in north Wisconsin, the ice rink was something we looked forward to every year. Figure skating and hockey were almost as much fun as swimming. You're right about memories- I'm 77 now and remember back fondly. Hint- try clearing the ice from the center out. For light snow try skating in circles. It will work great with that plow you had . Have fun and thanks for the memories.
My family used to ice skate on small natural ponds in farm fields in Montana. Your video brought back great memories! You are a great dad to make it happen for your family. Kudos and enjoy!!
That is just so awesome Adam. Even your little one knows there's something different about playing on ice! If you happen to be a Penguin's fan, check out a new goalie (Sergei Murashov) that just moved up from the ECHL to the AHL. My granddaughter who is a MED student in Cincinnati happened to be seated with Sergei on an eight hour flight from Europe to the U.S. this past November. There may be a romance in the making...a sweet story anyway!
If someone is thinking you wasted time, they don’t understand the return on investment. The ROI is measured in Joy! Love your comment on letting kids fail safely. If you want to get good at something, go suck at something. Great video, Adam!
I can relate to your joy in maintaining the pond for ice skating. I have no pond and it doesn't get below freezing here in NE NC. BUT, I enjoy maintaining the pool for the kids. Don't enjoy swimming in the pool too much, but enjoy the satisfaction of the wife and kids using it.
Great job! I had a grin the whole time the kids were on the Ice. I grew up in Montana. We could skate the roads in the neighborhood sometimes when the conditions were right. One of the neighbors always had a small rink with a hockey net. He was an ex NHL player and taught us different shots. Fun memories from 45-50 years ago.
Preach Adam! You're doing it right. Don't ever let anyone tell you what's a waste of time. It's your time not their time. I think walking around a golf course for 4 hours and then sitting in the club house for another 2 is a waste of time. I'd much rather be doing what you're doing maybe with a few improvements to make things more efficient. 😁 Dave
Another great video Adam and agree it’s lot of work but thoroughly worthwhile. I can also see why you enjoy the work especially with the end result, your kids will have wonderful memories. My two kids are grown up now with their own families and although we didn’t have our own ice rink or hill to sled on 😁 we made sure they had loads of great memories. We don’t get snow like you but whenever it was cold enough we’d go looking for snow, finding fantastic places all to ourselves to sledge and play in the snow. We would take sandwiches, hot drinks and make a really memorable days. You’re also right about letting them learn by failing safely, our kids had that kind of upbringing and we are very proud of the way they’ve turned out and they’re carrying on similar traditions with there own little ones. Keep up the good work 🙂👍
So great! watching your kids on the ice, and your right these are the thing they will remember. I still remember my child hood. sledding, ice skating, snow shoeing . GREAT memories of me and my Mom and Dad.
Any family man can see how much fun all this is. Like you said it's a lot of work but all those memories are worth it. I've sunk dozens of hours into stuff like snowblowing paths for my son and stuff to make our own memories.
We have a much smaller backyard rink (18x14 but it takes up most of our yard lol) And man, I agree. Maintaining the ice is soooo satisfying lol. It’s a lot of work, like when we got 3’ of snow in 24 hrs a few weeks ago, but it’s sooo worth it to see the kids enjoy it Keep up the good work! There’s a great beginner video for skating on the iTrain hockey TH-cam that you should check out to help your son skate progress
You are doing an outstanding job. We all enjoy your hard work and now able to show us how the kids enjoy the hard work. Your son will have the art of skating very soon. Look forward to watching him going fwd. will be enjoying his accomplishments. Thanks.
What a wonderful video and my wife and I truly appreciate you sharing a part of your family time with your viewers. I think moments like these make all of the efforts building your ponds worthwhile!
Long time viewer first time commentator. I have been watching for a long time and man I really enjoyed watching you and your family together and happy.
Not a waste of time Adam. We did the same things back in the day. A lot of work but worth every minute. Thank you for your efforts and the video. Todd in NH soon to be retired in AZ.
I enjoyed watching you in this video. This video was enjoyable watching you and your family having fun. You are blessing you and your family and friends with a fun memory, even for us watching. Thank you and have a fun time.
This reminds me of growing up in northeast Ohio. You are right about the core memories. We would leave southeast Louisianna almost every Christmas, when our kids were young, and go see the families in Ohio. My kids still talk about the fun they had playing in the snow. They are both in their 40's now. BTW. We got about 8 inches of snow here Tuesday. It shut down everything until today, Saturday. I know how to drive in the snow and I didn't go out. Roads were all iced over. No plows, no salt and no common sense. lol. You're doing a great job Dad.
I would also enjoy it! Just as I enjoy watching you doing it. I would also suggest elbow pads for everyone that is or isn't experienced with ice skating. Ice will bruise and break elbows. You can also take a 5 gallon bucket pull the handle off flip it over for the little ones to learn
Absolutely love your parenting skills and thoughts and the time and effort you put into making a core memory for the kids you are a great parent and it shows. Awesome content I have been following along a while now and feel if you look back through it all, this was a pinnacle moment of accomplishment! All you went through with the extra ponds and to get this one completely filled, the ice perfect, it was all worth it!
Wonderful video, Adam. I love seeing the family time. That enjoyment you feel doing the pond and seeing others use it,, That's called becoming a dad. Along side that you simultaneously also get old man stuff( pee stream LOL ) It wonderful you jumped from accountant to YT creator. You probably wouldn't have time to trouble shoot a pond leak, build a second one, get a pole barn, let alone the satisfaction of knowing you're home and the kids are just up the hill. Thank you for the continued content.
I remember learning how to skate at four years old, that was over sixty years ago. Believe me the kids are going to remember this forever. I've cleaned a lot of rinks over the years, but I did it on skates. Great job Dad 👍
I still remember learning to skate in Vermont where I grew up and I’m over 60 now. You’re building lifelong memories for your kids Adam. You’re a good man for doing it. Yes, it’s work but the reward is priceless. Thanks for taking us along!
I'm glad you guys have enough cold weather to make good ice. Look into the Yarbo snow blower, it's a robot blower that runs automatically, and can save you the time of keeping the pond clear. Anyways, great video, as always!
After flooding our pond for years, the absolute best and fastest way i have found to flooding the rink is to use my ice auger! Wear your rubber boots....drill your hole thru the ice.

It will bring hundreds of gallons of water up in seconds and in a minute or two it will reach out to the entire area. Access water runs back down the hole! Try it! Works amazing
That’s so obvious it’s brilliant.
@MemphisMechanic yes, moves so much water so fast...just like a grain auger!

I think anyone who says that is a waste of time either doesn’t have kids or shouldn’t have kids. Great work Adam👌👍
i dont have kids (and have zero plans to) and i still see value in the effort put forth in this video
@ Good Man👍
not a waste of time at all, very fun to watch and to skate.
No gift, will ever out place the memories they will have of you all being together! These memories will last a lifetime for all of you.
Good on you! You are a great Dad. I'm 65 and my Dad is 90. He gave me those "core" memories and I'm blessed to have them.
I’ve been watching you struggle with that pond for years now and I can tell the sound of your kids giggles is why you persevered. It has put a smile on my face that will last all day. Thank you ❤
All worth the effort to hear the kids giggle and laugh!❤
I love this. To see the passion you put into projects simply for your family. So your little girl can throw snow at you. So your son to learn to get up when he falls. So many life lessons just in this one video. Thank you for sharing this with us. You sir are truly blessed.
Yes! Thank you!
That's called being an aswame dad. We need more young men like you. It's good to see someone will real life outlook.
Really enjoyed watching your family enjoy the pond, thank you!!!
The giggles and screams of delight from your kids made my day.
Soooo not a waste of time. Hearing their excitement is worth every bit of work & money!! Anderson learned so fast! You really know a lot about the ice & how to "grow" it!! Great video, as always. God bless y'all. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. I'm fixing to watch it again!! ❤👍♥️🙏

I’m glad you guys got to have some fun in the snow!
Adam you're creating memories your kids will carry with them forever don't ever apologize for the haters if you have to explain it to them they'll never understand. Boys doing great 👍
Your baby saying I need up. And all the laughs was priceless. Sweet kids.
Spending time & making memories with family is never a waste of time. Adam, keep making memories!!!
Great video Adam. If anyone says that’s a waste of time. They-obviously don’t have kids or they are just jealous of what you have. All that matters is the kids enjoy it and they will talk about it for years 👍

Keep up the good Dadding and family man. You're creating amazing memories and having a family blast doing so..

The memories are always worth the work to make them happen.
Very excited to see another ice rink video. Add in a few sled runs and now we are talking. 👍

I'[m in my 60's and if I "fail and fall down", my dad still just looks at me over the top of his glasses.
You're a good father and the kids will appreciate these memories, no doubt. I'm glad you wore the ice pick safety necklace during the early stages of dressing the pond. Have a great weekend. Cheers.

Awesome video Adam ❤
The kids had a great time and will continue to enjoy the ice as long as it's there. Nice job 👏 👍
A person that leaves a comment like that don't have kids. These are memories that will last forever. Stay safe.
The huffing and puffing when running is too cute.
After watching to the end,... brought tears Dude! Like my Dad taught me how to ride a bike 65 years ago. (without training wheels and a helmit!)🤣 MEMORIES are PRINCESS!
Well worth the effort…memories to cherish..👍
I believe if you live in a place with winter weather, you need to find a way to enjoy it. Otherwise, winter is just a hassle. Glad to see your persistence with the pond has paid off and that you are getting the winter weather to enjoy it!

I agree with you on child development. We are on a farm so the kids get lots of experience
Great video, nothing like spending hard earned quality time with the family
I think this is awesome. Memories are worth more than any amount of money. Keep it up.
Great job! I had a grin the whole time the kids were on the Ice. I grew up in Montana. We could skate the roads in the neighborhood sometimes when the conditions were right. One of the neighbors always had a small rink with a hockey net. He was an ex NHL player and taught us different shots. Fun memories from 45-50 years ago.
Anderson did great!….and I loved your closing comments, Adam….heartily agree! 👍👍
Great video, very interesting process. I grew up in Iowa and skated outdoors quite a bit. Good memories. Thank you!
Great job! I recommend giving your son a folding chair to hold on to and push around. 👍
Preach Adam! You're doing it right. Don't ever let anyone tell you what's a waste of time. It's your time not their time. I think walking around a golf course for 4 hours and then sitting in the club house for another 2 is a waste of time.

Fantastic! I learned to skate when I was 3yo. Wonderful memories for an old man... God bless y'all!
These are the BEST videos. I absolutely love it.
Making memories with your kids is priceless!!
Well done!!
Anderson skates as well as I do. What a great video. Thanks for sharing your family fun.
Family time is memory making time 👍
I'm imagining neighbour Doug inventing a roomba type device for clearing snow from back yard ponds !
You are doing an outstanding job. We all enjoy your hard work and now able to show us how the kids enjoy the hard work. Your son will have the art of skating very soon. Look forward to watching him going fwd. will be enjoying his accomplishments. Thanks.
The memories are priceless...
Very nice activity outside with the family!
Anderson did fantastic!!! You can show him this when he wins awards in professional skating!!!
What a good use of time! Time well spent with your children.
What a wonderful video and my wife and I truly appreciate you sharing a part of your family time with your viewers. I think moments like these make all of the efforts building your ponds worthwhile!
Good job 👍 so many memories of ice skating when I was younger 😊 Not a waste of time. Good video
As one dad to another let me just say you are doing great!
AWESOME! Love this for you. Developing memories takes a lot of work - and excellent character!
It’s all about making memories fella well done
Long time viewer first time commentator. I have been watching for a long time and man I really enjoyed watching you and your family together and happy.
Not a waste of time Adam. We did the same things back in the day. A lot of work but worth every minute. Thank you for your efforts and the video. Todd in NH soon to be retired in AZ.
That's really great. Enjoy your family! You will blink and your kids will have kids. Pond turned put really great.
So exciting. I'm glad the kids were able to go skating. Great job Adam
Lot of work, however countless memories! Haters will hate. You enjoy while it last!
I enjoyed watching you in this video. This video was enjoyable watching you and your family having fun. You are blessing you and your family and friends with a fun memory, even for us watching. Thank you and have a fun time.
those two will sleep good tonight making many memories is important!
Great success, I have enjoyed watching your pond build from the begining
This reminds me of growing up in northeast Ohio. You are right about the core memories. We would leave southeast Louisianna almost every Christmas, when our kids were young, and go see the families in Ohio. My kids still talk about the fun they had playing in the snow. They are both in their 40's now. BTW. We got about 8 inches of snow here Tuesday. It shut down everything until today, Saturday. I know how to drive in the snow and I didn't go out. Roads were all iced over. No plows, no salt and no common sense. lol. You're doing a great job Dad.
You are a wonderful Dad...As my Mom used to say..."I can't breathe for you".
I would also enjoy it! Just as I enjoy watching you doing it. I would also suggest elbow pads for everyone that is or isn't experienced with ice skating. Ice will bruise and break elbows. You can also take a 5 gallon bucket pull the handle off flip it over for the little ones to learn
Absolutely love your parenting skills and thoughts and the time and effort you put into making a core memory for the kids you are a great parent and it shows. Awesome content I have been following along a while now and feel if you look back through it all, this was a pinnacle moment of accomplishment! All you went through with the extra ponds and to get this one completely filled, the ice perfect, it was all worth it!
All your hard work is paying off is some amazing memories right there!
Way to go!
😊
How much fun you have as a family
Wonderful video, Adam. I love seeing the family time. That enjoyment you feel doing the pond and seeing others use it,, That's called becoming a dad. Along side that you simultaneously also get old man stuff( pee stream LOL ) It wonderful you jumped from accountant to YT creator. You probably wouldn't have time to trouble shoot a pond leak, build a second one, get a pole barn, let alone the satisfaction of knowing you're home and the kids are just up the hill. Thank you for the continued content.
Thank you I enjoyed reading this and couldn’t agree more
I remember learning how to skate at four years old, that was over sixty years ago. Believe me the kids are going to remember this forever. I've cleaned a lot of rinks over the years, but I did it on skates. Great job Dad 👍
I agree with everything you had to say at the end of the video. I enjoy watching your pond videos.
I still remember learning to skate in Vermont where I grew up and I’m over 60 now. You’re building lifelong memories for your kids Adam. You’re a good man for doing it. Yes, it’s work but the reward is priceless. Thanks for taking us along!
I remember when mine were that age savor every moment it’s gone in what feels like a moment!
Work of love.
Keep making memories.
Great video! The kids are adorable and it's so inspirational to see you working so hard to make memories with your family!
What a blessed family ❤
Thanks for the kids laugh ❤
Since it's 90ºF cloudy here in Brazil..I'm going to take my son to ride a bike!
Happy weekend!
Cheers!
I'm glad you guys have enough cold weather to make good ice. Look into the Yarbo snow blower, it's a robot blower that runs automatically, and can save you the time of keeping the pond clear. Anyways, great video, as always!
