- not as much Done as I hoped due to weather turning for the worse.
thanks to Ayron @ www.highlandko... for his help in getting me my 4 inch bottom drain and getting my pipe work and keeping it till I'm ready for it
Looking awesome George!! You & your daughter are doing great job. Digging is not the fun part for sure, but a necessary part to having your dream koi pond. Keep going! It’ll be so worth it in the end!! 👍👍😊
Thanks we will get there, can only get stuff done at the weekends due to work.
@@GeoMur-Fishing-LomondKoi It’s all
ok! You have all of the workweek to plan out in your head what to do for the pond build for the weekends!! 👍👍👍 Stay strong and keep
going!! 🤗😊. Looking forward to next weekends’ video!! 😀
@KeefesKoiHaven I have all the plans in my head just getting it to look the way I want is the hard bit lol
Looking great, the hardest work is the digging, and moving the spoil, keep up the good work 👍
Yeah it is but we will keep going
Some good progress there George, it’ll be worth it when it’s done 👍🏼👌🏼
Yeah it will hopefully over next two weekends if the weather is good I can have it dug out
Just showed in my feed, new subscriber. Currently watching the pond playlist. After cost, digging is the biggest killer of Koi pond builds. I've been involved in and built, for other people getting on for 50 Koi ponds. Only now, for the first time have i got the space and money to build one for myself. Dig out is in a couple of weeks - weather permitting! Although i'm very lucky to have access for a digger!!
Loving it so far, good luck and great to see a father and daughter taking on a project together.
Thanks for the comment, hope you get your pond done
@@GeoMur-Fishing-LomondKoi Thanks, it'll get done come hell or high water! Changed employer a few months back, better money and more time off. Means I can finally devote some time to my own projects and have the cash for the job. Gonna be a long and expensive project - as you are very much aware Koi ponds of any size aren't cheap lol. Mine's going to be around 14.5 thousand litres but I'm very lucky to have contacts and family in the Koi trade.
Again, good luck, and great progress.
Wow that is a big pond , the rain is a pain the now
@@GeoMur-Fishing-LomondKoi Absolutely agree, it's a big pond. But I've wanted my own pond since before my teens, my eldest brother built his first pond in the early 90's. He ended up in the Japanese Koi trade and I've never had the opportunity to build MY POND, MY WAY, always built what the customer wanted - which is obviously the way it should be. Now I have an opportunity to build THE pond I want that's what I'm doing.
There isn't a time frame and there isn't a budget (although I'm frugal and have a lot of time proven faith in traditional multi bay filters so this isn't a throw money at it project)
And after all, have you ever heard anyone say "I wish I'd built a smaller pond"
I started after leaving the pipe bands , my dad has a pond , I went why not, always loved koi since 1st time I seen them., my pond will be about 1200 gallons that's as big as my garden can take
Great stuff George, bit by bit it will get done, best wishes mate, Tony😀
Thanks Tony , how's the koi
Doing good George😀@@GeoMur-Fishing-LomondKoi
