Using a well to fill our pond! We were finally able to install a Flint & Walling submersible pump in our freshly drilled well and now it's time to fill our pond with water! How long do you think it will take?
Flint and Walling made a video of their visit. Go check it out: • F&W Pump Install Previ...

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! kzhead.info/sun/n7hpgZV9a4apgYE/bejne.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
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.
There’s a lifetime of memories that will be made around that pond. Great work Koch family!
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
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!
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!
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.
Are you going to do a fire pit area? Maybe a pavilion for grilling, audio system, lights for when the sun goes down? That’s everything we ended up adding to our pond. Lots of great nights/holidays. In our pond, we made our fill line into a fountain. Our fountain is a 2” pvc line with a cap that we drilled a pattern into. When the fountain initially turns on pressurized it shoots about 30’ high, then it equalizes to about 10’-15’.
As a Girl Dad myself, I teared up. Congrats to you and your family, man
Perfect way to cheer up a boring Sunday. love your videos they never fail to please 🍿
Thanks so much!
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.
Hey thanks so much. That means a lot.
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
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 🤗❤️🤗
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.
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!
Nice job. I love the attention to detail with the landscaping.
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.
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!
You’re getting pretty good at this story telling thing. Well done.
Words cannot describe how happy your video's make me. Always nice seeing your dad and the rest of the family
Neil, It’s awesome looking!! The concrete pier truly was the best decision!! It looks classy and professional! Great job!!
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 😁👍
Thanks a lot Sam!
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!!!
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!
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! 🥶 😊
The pond turned out great. As always, your skill and vision pays off. Congratulations!
Thanks Eric!
Thanks for bringing us along on the journey with your family.
You bet. Thanks Jay
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.
I share in the satisfaction and happiness of you guys jumping into that pond. Thank you for the smiles in this project!
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.
Memorial Day if we're lucky 😁
The anticipation is finally over! Neal it looks great! I’m hoping for an education on pitiless adaptors in the future. Thanks for taking us so long my friend.
Thanks so much Mike!
Great to see that baby full. Loved the plunge. That topped it off perfectly!
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.
Fantastic! Great work Neil, family and all involved. Congrats.
the pond is looking awesome ,cant wait for more content to come. thanks for showing 😄greetings from a german watcher 👍
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.
Another top-notch video with a great ending! Thanks Neil and family for posting! Always look fwd to visiting your channel for awesome content!
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
Congratulations, another great video, thank you.
Fellow Hoosier... love this and I love your channel. Last part had me smiling and tearing up.
That is a beautiful pond one heck of a job nicely done congratulations on a lifetime of fun for ur family
Awesome stuff as always. Great to see it finished. That drone shot transitioning from the before to after was really cool. Nice job Neil.
Awesome! Great job! Well worth the wait.
Not very often I smile throughout the whole video… What a nice pond… I wouldn’t have done it any differently… Great job
Congratulations Neil and family. Well done and well deserved.
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 🎅🏾 🌲 🤶🏽 🦃
Thanks so much Marcus! Happy holidays to you as well!
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!!
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.
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
I have been waiting all summer for this. Congrats! Looks great. Enjoying your channel.
Thanks Neil that brought many smiles to my face. I wish your family all the best.
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.
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.
Definitely worth waiting for. Stay safe and enjoy every moment. God bless you all and thanks for sharing with us. Been a great journey
Neil, every time I watch your videos, my inner-voice starts shouting at me that I do things really half-#ssed! Your planning, attention to detail, and execution is off the charts. Loved this series from start to finish. What a spectacular new feature for your family to enjoy and build memories for generations. Oh, and for what it's worth...you're a bigger man than I am for jumping into that pond. Which I suppose means your daughters are bigger men than me too! Well done.
Finally!! What a long wait but you and the family must be so happy to have it filled! Can’t wait to see more
So happy for you !! It's finally finished...just in time for winter! Ha! Gives you something to look forward to next summer. Will be interesting to see how you landscape and decorate the area. I enjoy your videos so much.
Congratulations! Nice job. May your family be blessed with many a day of pond enjoyment. God bless ya'll.
the result really speaks for itself. it's looking great!
Glad to see it filled. Been fun watching all this time.
The only thing that I would do differently. Would be to put a ground fault plug in for the outside outlet. Pond looks great 👍
CONGRATS!!!! Loved watching this whole build/dig
What an amazing adventure this past summer has been for you and your family. I enjoyed watching all the progress on the farm! The end of the video was the best! Seeing and hearing the screams had to be worth every moment of your hard work for you!!!!👍💚
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.
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.
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
Favorite part of my day! Happy thanksgiving Koch family!
Same to you!
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.
Awesome project! I was hooked for 5 episodes straight just to see you succeed to fill it up. Goon on you!
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!
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!
Beautiful video, pond, family and work! Thanks for sharing the fun with us. Be well, be safe!
Wesley was finally able to see and understand what Kyle works on at work! So cool!
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.
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
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.
It has been fun watching the pond come together. Thanks for sharing!
Love it!!!! You guys rock! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
at this point I'm just very impressed
With what? With who?
Great way to start my Sunday. Laughing while drinking coffee. Thanks for sharing such an enjoyable time for your family.
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.
Was waiting for a long time for this let’s go I’m so happy
Really great project, must be immensely satisfying. Thanks for taking us all along!!
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 😎
Hey, thanks! I have a habit of trying to be too productive in my youtube time... and this project series, polar swim, and kidding around was a great break from that! =)
Fantastic Neil and family ! Love it 🙌🏻
That’s beautiful and the enjoyment you will get of your family enjoying the pond will be priceless.
That was a sweet, feel good video Neil. Just the thing I needed lately. Always satisfying to see a project come to fruition. You done good son! Love home and thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Greg!
Neil. Loved these pond videos, congrats on getting it filled.
You will enjoy the pond! Just knowing it is there gives you a psychological advantage of “calm”! Great content and fun and closure!!! Blessings 😁👍🏻🍀
Loved following this project! Glad you finally finished it! The rewards are priceless!
I've waited months to see you jump in, so privileged to share this journey with you and your family.
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
Brilliant, I've been looking forward to this for ages, as you have. You're going to have some great summers playing in that pond and no doubt some great video footage to show us.
Great video. The pond looks great. So much better than another guy on you tube. Shows alot of planning and experience and hard work. Great job. It will be nice for your family
It's a good feeling to finish a major project like that! Maybe you will want an outdoor grilling/gazebo next, to hang out and watch the kiddos in the pond...good video!
Congrats on finishing the pond. It looks fantastic! 🏊🏽♂
so stoked for your family!! What a great project and thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!!
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 :)
