Hi James, you cannot put a price on true happiness, life is too short to have regrets. You have a great family and you have undertook a mammoth task in building your amazing koi pond. I've said before ot is a credit to your hard work an perseverance to get through obstacles that were against you, but you did it. You have been an inspiration to all of us and given us goals in what we undertake. You will all enjoy this for many years to come an I look forward to seeing you purchase more lovely koi to put in your creation. Live life to the full and enjoy. Keep your lovely family safe. Thank your mother for the rabbits 🐇🐇🐇🐇🎏🎏🎏🎏👍👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇⛩⛩⛩
Love that thanks mate
This is a well set up pond. As a koi fanatic myself, this hobby ain’t cheap but its surely worth it. Good job☺️👍🏻
Not far off lol lol then.the way to look at it.you wouldn’t get much of a decent new car for the price of the pond build 🤷and your pond won’t need servicing and fuel.and definitely will last far longer.you have a very low maintenance garden so the time can be spent enjoying your koi and pond.you haven’t put a comfy bench/seat in your garden yet.. if I had a choice of a new car or koi pond I know what my choice would be..👌🏻👌🏻
Evening James👍😊. £20k is a substantial amount of money but just think of the years of joy you’re going to get out of it👍😊. Koi keeping isn’t cheap but when you compare it to golf club membership and fees, premier league football club season tickets and other hobbies it compares favourably👍😊. Your pond is magnificent and a credit to your vision, effort and perseverance, you should be very proud of what you have achieved regardless of the cost👏👍🥇. Now just sit back and enjoy (and think of all the improvements you can make this season😂🤣👍). Take care buddy, best wishes for the koi season ahead👍🐟🈲😊
😂😂🐇🔨nail on head right there this hobby never stops lol 😂 I am planning to go carp fishing a few more times this year stay safe mate and keep up the good work yourself
I'd of just moved somewhere with access 😂
Cracking pond wort every penny bud
glass window you had a result cost wise
Hi James, having watched all your videos on the pond build from start to finish and the trials, tribulations and problems you came across, you should be very proud of what you have achieved and it’s a great looking pond and filter setup. Top man and 👍 for taking the time to share the true costs of your setup as lots of people don’t really like to say the true costs, so we’ll done to you. Proper the 🔨and thank ya mother for the 🐇🐇🐇
Thanks mate appreciate that one
23347 m8 but look mint
James the koi Whisper
Self built that's not bad considering the build equipment u have....Happy days....not bad.....
Thanks for sharing , James . 20K is a lot of money , but now you have a fantastic pond that will last for years . You probably saved 10k from all the hours of graft , you put in . Well done . You deserve it
It is what it is, life’s too short to put your dreams on the shelf.
Twenty thousand pounds to build a koi pond and then all of a sudden the misses say we are moving this year lol
SHE DID I SAID GO ON THEN LOL
구독하고 갑니다^^
20K on a koi pond is better then on a car,with a car you loose all your money fast.This never got away,you did a fcking good job and a jewel from a pond you have now ! Cheers :)
True mate
£20,000
Can you come and build a like for like one for me for £25k lol 😁
yea no prob lol
James, you did not just build a pond, you’ve build a masterpiece
Don’t do-it..who cares, if ur involved wit Diy the true hobbyists/pro knows just how much it cost..I’m at $3000 on adding a bottom drain..weird hobby/need a job lol, truly ..keep it all..!!! Talk Mrs..somewhere
15min video could of been max 5😅
Got to make my living I mean you could always run your own channel?
Your money your pleasure how you spend it, better than than peeing it up against the wall. Expensive hobby, I know you need deep pockets. The only problems are you can’t dismantle it all if you move house. I had to dig two eight yard skips out with a spade then manoeuvre a wheelbarrow 25 yards around the house to the skip, I had blisters on my blisters. But it’s worth the hard graft, I had no help from anyone doing anything, be proud of what you’ve achieved, great job.
Your pond is so nice worth all the money & years of enjoyment!
Wow that’s a few grand less than I make a year!
But i did buy a new/used 2018 Subaru Forester last year that cost more than your pond & I wouldn’t like I’m sure you feel would change a thing!
Do what you like get what you like when your young mate!
Happy days take care & all the best in 2022
Looking forward to all you get up to this yr!
I truly enjoy your videos & have supported you since 2020
True that
" pull out 1 spade of soil from the ground= atleast 2 spades into the skip.
10 years ago I dug out 2 " flower boarders from our back garden.
1 man,1 shovel and 1 wheelbarrow. 60 yards each way round the back and down the side of the house to a skip on the drive.
4 x 8 ton skips later
My poor back and nackered wheel barrow hummed 36 tons of wet soil.
Labour alone would of been 10k plus mate ! Stunning build loved watching all the videos of you building it mate . Here's to 2022 and some new fishies 😉
To right mate
$25-30,000 i dont know UK currency.
How many gallons is the pond
2.500g
Ya carnt take it with you
Hi James it was great watching your videos throughout the year and what a end result worth all of the 20k
Should be proud of yaself mate 👌🏼nice job
Must have been £10.000 at least, but but it's you're dream. But you'll never get it back mate .but its spot on mate just sit back and enjoy it now .
12,000 US dollars? You did most of the labor yourself so that saved you money but you bought top line quality stuff?
I think 30,000 dollars !!! total bill and cost about 300 per month to run with electricity and food ?
James really think you should do a live stream Q+A mate would be pucka 👌😉 your content is excellent by the way
Well done James an amazing Koi fish pond and loved your journey to the point I've started building an out door Koi pond your are inspirational !!!!!!!!
Love your new pond mate! Absolutely beautiful
You done a cracking job matey and it’s your fault I started mine, definitely harder than it looks.it breaks your body and your bank balance
You do what you want mate. End of day your hobby. The pleasure you get out of it and health benefits out way the costs in the end. Just don't tell the Mrs 🤫
We no what you are saying regarding building a koi pond our was over 25k and some more, but if it’s what you want then you go for it so enjoy
Most people would think of spending that sort of doh on a posh suv. I tell you something tho, I would sooner have that koi set up than an suv any day of the week James. Thank ye mother for the bills 😁
Worth every penny mate imagine what the cost could have been. Just don't move house!!! And enjoy it. Amazing achievement
How did you make the inside so smooth? liquid rubber? how was it applied? it looks super smooth
At £20k I think that was pretty good. I watched all video,s and watched them again while u were on your winter break. All top gear as well. Your labour saved a fortune especially with the poor access. Still a work in progress ie heating ? Or covers even. Your a top bloke. Keep up the good work with the smoking, your health is important . Looking forward to future content.
Wow… you’re like buses 😀. The value of money is in the spending not the keeping. Just a thought, be good to see a 60 minute time lapse of your entire pond build. Yes a friggin hooooj amount of editing, but would be a great watch for people. Keep up the vids, and what a helluva pond.
stunning mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Well James amazing work from yourself you probably know you saved money by doing the job yourself and think of the enjoyment it brings you hopefully you will get many years of enjoyment from your pond and the amazing koi would you do it all again ? Best wishes GEORGE DOVE 🕊 IN BLACKPOOL
It's worth more than that too you brother, Injoy it because you deserve it my man. Fare play and I take my hat off to you.
Where did you get the Koi pictures on the wall? Cheers excellent pond, also are you heated?
it is super !!! i like it glad its your money NOT MINE
Wow I thought my reef aquarium was expensive
20000 pounds is nothing compair where i live congrats on your new pond it is a dream enjoy it mate enjoy it cant wait to see some new koi in the pond
Hi James Lovely Job !!!😄😄👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Darn after you see what you spent dont you wish you'd have gone a bit bigger!
Stunning pond! You did such a great job. Definitely worth all the hard work and cost.
Love the finished product James!! All the pleasure you got out of building it and now enjoying it was well worth 20k.
Im sorry that you have bought very ordinary fish I wish youd have spent more on the fish!!
If you can't live for your dreams then what's the point. I personally think this is a bargain for what you have achieved. It would have cost a lot more if you hadn't grafted and it wasn't your fault you had to fix the drains. This has been the best series on youtube and is definitely the best koi channel. You've worked hard to achieve your dream and deserve it. Imagine chilling out in the summer having a BBQ and looking at the fish, superb. You just need to add on the cost of staining the back door. :). Well done James.
When you’re on your death bed you’ll be smiling because you built this
Start to finish , i guess ,,,, £28 / 34 K including Your Labour
Total admiration for what you have achieved by following your dream!!
It's a fantastic set up, you have done yourself and your helpers proud👍
like you say its your dream pond and dreams cost money. for someone to go a dream holiday wouldnt be cheap or a dream car or dream house. your pond is amazing and your an inspiration to others to work hard and to go and fullfill their dreams in whatever it may be. well done bro and thank your mother for the rabbits 😉
Mate that pond is bombproof, worth every penny..imagine how much labour would of cost on top..
Your wife is truly one in a million for allowing it 🤭
You should be proud of yourself, generating some revenue from your videos even if it was a small percentage of total build costs is fully deserved. Your build videos brought a great deal of pleasure to many of us last year - congratulations 👍
Thanks Paul it was good fun this year I got some more of that pleasure lined up did you see my cup 🤣🤣🤣
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 yes mate, me and the missus ( who comes carping and cat fishing with me sometimes) we’re both laughing 😂
@@paulhigginson3876 lol 😂
James no matter how much you spent it was all money worth spending.. the whole set up is amazing 👍👍
Hello sir james. Do you have a blueprint of your pond? Or a sketch? I like your set up man. I would lime to build just like that in the near future. Hope that i can get a sketch of your pond design.
no blue just TH-cam videos lol
I did a similar thing keeping hold of EVERY receipt that involved anything to do with my pond. It’s 1000 gallons in size with some solid filtration and equipment, filter house etc, and costed it at just over £6k. Surprising how quickly the costs mount up, some of the receipts are eye watering. Covid has definitely had a massive impact on price of materials.
Nonetheless, it’s worth every penny in my opinion, and you’ve done a cracking job mate. I’ve still got plenty of bits and pieces to do, and it will be my first full season this year. Looking forward to every minute of it!
Fair play shag you did graft you’re a machine, if you paid for your labour this sort of job would cost a hell of a lot more.
Well it’s like this. You dig a hole and keep throwing money into it for the rest of your life!! Lol lol lol.
No really
As long as u and rest of the family are happy, cost doesnt matter. Life is too short, so enjoy to the fullest...more over, it was beautifully done. Fishes are all happy too...
Nice bro congrats very ornate and entertaining place to host guests
Hi James,
I've watched almost all your video's of last year. You've made a great build!! And expected something like 15K. But I forgot to count the entire garden with fencing and pavements.
Nice that you are willing to share the pricetag with us.
PS my wife almost killed me with our pond that was made just under 5k
Cracking job mate you grafted hard last year, time to enjoy it 👍
pond fittings koi pumps etc 5 acres koi
Watched very video from start to finish and loved this project! Forget about the jealous haters 😜 thank your mother for the rabbits
Well done you have done a brilliant job and the fish look really happy 👍
absolutely epic pond sir.
I doubt very much I’ll be upgrading, far to bigger cost, saying that the people who do the big upgrades the outlay certainly shows and the joy of the finished product is brilliant especially yours James, the suppliers have realised the lockdown ponds have spurred the hobby and with that costs have arisen. This build is a credit to you and your family years of happiness to follow well done 👏👏👏👏
Good walk around, love the honesty and sharing. 👏👏👏
Awesome pond , awesome build, can't put a price on happiness , enjoy it mate it's stunning as are your koi .
Hi James, imagine what the cost would have been had you not built it yourself! 🤓
To look at the work you have done I say your spent about £23.500
The amount of labor you put in would have added a lot. Good work
I take it that is the best of the best for the volume you have built at 20k
Thanks 4 keeping it 100 James… that’s why I luv your channel bro… thanks 4 sharing.
Happy days 🔨🐇💥
Top bloke love the fish and the pond🎣
Great video mate well worth the money hope your support on the channel etc helped especially for the entertainment your videos provided last year mate i learnt so much from you thanks for that
Great video to sum up your magnificent build James, a lot of money but a lot of pond which you and the family will enjoy for years to come, very well done and roll on to the better weather so we can enjoy our ponds. 👌
Happy Days Mate 👍 The pond looks amazing. Really happy for you buddy. I know you got a few haters, but I guess it's just jealousy LOL

All the best mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate appreciate that and well happy with it tbh
Brilliant video. I was only thinking this morning how much you’d spent on your pond and stuff. Very informative, thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Too be honest I've seen similar price tags on some of my customers ponds with less quality equipment and finish on the overall project so you done good for ya lolly James 👌 bring on the summer nights chillin with a bbq n brew pond side 👊👊✌️
Totally agree
Fantastic pond.
James i really enjoyed ur vids....i learnt loads from you.....20k though...i cudnt justify that much and there is no way her indoors would allow it. That said id like to make my pond larger but a new kitchen got priority. All the best james ...im still watching mate
