If you cover the whole bottom in stone, it'll help mitigate the cloudiness in the water.

I echo what some other people have said about using overflow water to create a second pool, or better yet, a pond. It looks like you have good clay there, so it shouldn't be too difficult. You don't want to be going in the drinking water pool because that will stir up sediment, which will clog your filters up at the house. Swim in the pond, but not in the water behind the great wall.

I hope you guys researched how altering that spring will affect it and the ecosystem that relies on it.

The next time you want to cut a Christmas tree on Lola's Fram please leave the bottom 4 or 5 branches. By mid June the remaining branches will start growing up pointing to the sky. Choose the strongest, straight shoot and trim off the rest. You now have a new tree growing on old roots. Small tree farms that harvest for December do this every few years. The remaining roots will speed up the growth of the 'new' tree. Some of our trees have twenty year old roots growing a two year old Christmas tree. Just remember to keep the bottom branches when you re-cut the evergreen.

You should build a natural spring pool from the overflow as a second capture to keep your first pool as "clean" as possible. There are some awesome ones on pintrest.

You have what we call here in Nicaragua an "ojo de agua" (eye of water). What you are calling the "great wall" is exactly what we do to make the ojo serviceable. Congratulations! This is a major step forward for you guys. Not only that but the ojo de agua significantly increases the value of your property.

Perhaps you could plant citronella plants or something similar around your water hole to help with the mosquitoes

A few fish would make that mosquito free. I also agree with the other person that said make a second pool for swimming and keep the drinking water as clean as possible.

Sadie is a real jungle baby even though she was born in the US. She's so smart and so comfortable in her element. 😊

What a blessing to find a live spring on your property. 😊❤🙏🥰

I would seriously consider putting gravel and sand in the bottom of the pool to help keep the sediment down and help keep the water cleaner. I would also have a separate pool for soaking in so that the drinking water doesn't get contaminated from body waste. Otherwise, congratulations on your new water supply!

I am so glad you were able to spend time with your friend Trent & Allie back in the states a few months ago. Who knew Allie's Mom would leave us so soon. I know they really appreciated your love & support! Condolences to all that knew her beautiful Mom!

One of the easiest ways to mix concrete is on a plastic sheet. You need like an 8'x8' piece approximately. Dump the concrete out of the bag in the middle add a little water. Two people hold the two corners of the plastic each and mix. Lifting their corners to make the wet parts mix with the dry parts. You'll know when you see it. Add water till perfect. Pour it off the plastic where you need it. Super easy😮

Absolutely awesome Jordan & Kaylee . With Rodrigo , Umberto and Roberto building the great wall of Panama , a masterpiece of the mind. Great to see everyone back on Lola's farm and thriving.

❤Lola's Farm is self sustainable in every way!! How exciting!! Plenty for laundry, showers, tub soaks, animals, green house, garden and trees!! I'm so very happy for Lola's Farm!!🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

I LOVE hearing Sadie sing and watching her cook! She’s fantastic! 🎉

I just found out about Allie's mom on Friday. I was so shocked and sad by the news. Makes you realize how short and precious life is. So happy that you got to go enjoy the fair with Sadie! Moments that she will never forget! ❤

Thank you for putting Sadie in your videos - she makes me so happy!

Cover the water source with net to avoid leaves/insects going in and decomposing

Sadie makes our heart sing!❤

You should build a wall support to prevent the water blowing the wall dam.

That lil girl is something else ……you are raising her right you two……Kudos great parents………👍👍👍😉😉😉

That geisha you offered was ... Years and years ago I went to wedding and after dinner, the hotel where the reception was held offered coffee so I had a cup -- I 'd never tasted a coffee so delicious before ... til your geisha. Been searching nearly 50 years! Thank you!!😊

Hi Jordan, I'm really worried about your dam wall collapsing. You needed to curve the wall so the water pressure would push against the embankments. There is nothing holding the bricks together but a little morter. When you get to 4 ft of water, look out!

Ayyyye ROD just won some cool points for the SHM don't you worry child ❤

Snowing like hell here in Vermont

Awesome !!!!!! So happy Rodrigo & Freddie are back on Lola’s farm . A bigger water source , what a blessing for Lolas farm !❤

I am the guy that met you at the restaurant on Sunday (today) with my family. Thank you so much for talking to me!. You guys are even more friendly in person than on the videos!! wow!. I'm so glad to have met you!. Keep doing this amazing work you are doing. You were an inspiration to us, because we were moving to Panama while watching you guys and when we got stuck in Argentina before coming here for good, we followed you with your videos and your progress while also seeing how Panama was doing, just trying to find the right moment to move. Thank you! . You guys rock!!!

That’s crazy you can get flavours like that NATURALLY!?!!!

I wouldn't swim in my drinking water, but i would dig out after the overflow and wall. Then you could make a pool.

Great invention of the Wall of Panama...I am happy for you all! Hopefully, the Panamanian Government doesn't have laws against this! Love your videos 😊

See if you can legally import some dragon flys from the us or if they are native somewhere in panama. Plant them in your spring area and cut the brush back away from the spring. The mature dragonflies are very frisky and will multiply quickly and decimate the mosquitos around a small pond the first year after they are established.

No farm is complete without a swim hole! ❤️

Omg I love Sadie singing jingle bells in January . She is so much like you.

You guys are funny, "the great wall of Panama" you guys are too much.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣Hugs and kisses to Sadie 🤗😍😘 so glad Rodrigo and Freddie is back at the farm safe. 🙏Stay safe!

I wonder if installing an aerator in the pool would stop the mosquitoes.

So happy you all fixed your water problems ❤

What you have in the property is what we called "ojo de agua". My grandparents had several in their land. We would go take baths during the dry season. We use it for everything. But I would recommend you to visit some of the most beautiful swimming holes in the area. Like the one in Gualaca❤

So so happy for you! That has to be a great feeling ... knowing that water is plentiful. Most never consider running out of water ... we just take it for granted ... makes me think deeply about taking for granted our basic needs. Thank you in making me think! Love this family 💜

Sadie is one happy kid!!! What a joy to see.

You might want to put some kind of small fish in the water to keep the mosquitoes down. Also I wouldn’t swim in your drinking water. Maybe build a second pool below the first one to capture the run off from the first pool

Everybody’s back on Lola’s farm! Hurray!! I love ❤️ the water park! It’s a “feel good feeling” to have so much water parked down below the hill! 🤣

Maybe build a cover for pool to stop things falling in and stop the mosquitoes chilling there

If you want a reusable tree for the holidays maybe plant in a planter

I saw someone put their tree outside and decorate it for the birds with popcorn, berries, and seed balls ❤

Guys I think I watched the majority of this video with my jaw dropped. The wall of Panama is just a superb idea!

You can put lemongrass in the pool to prevent the mosqitos.

You should have ten times the subscribers. I enjoy watching your channel.

This suggestion might be useful on another project. A 6’ square of heavy plastic or piece of woven tarp. Add half a bag of dry mix and half the water in the middle. Two strong humans each with a hand on corners. Alternate pulling up on the ‘buritto’ to about waste high. Opposing diagonally, Right up- left up, repeat. You’ll get it. Mixes very fast and tarp can also be the delivery chute. Great core work!

Please be careful to not disturb the ecosystem too much. Not sure what is dependent on that water. Hopefully there is enough for everything. A underground river is next to gold! Good luck you guys!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put up railings / chicken wire or tight fencing so nothing / no one can fall in and get stuck in there etc.

Hopefully the frogs will find the water fast to feast on the mozzies. Would it be possible to build a pool beneath the wall? This is so exciting: such a game changer!

Please, please, please be careful of the snakes that will be attracted to the water, not to mention the mosquitos!

Great project. Make sure you make a way out for the dogs or animals if they fall or jump in ❤

Y’all Sadie will be building her own house before shes an adult watching her parents build Lola’s farm is the best school ever. What a lucky kid. Amazing how far it has come from the beginning. Great accomplishment. I love y’all thanks for sharing the journey.

You really moved along from replacing the ram pump (yup, most of that water was used to push the water uphill) to practically becoming your own water utility provider. Test the water frequently for all kinds of micro critters. Your original impoundment was not exposed very long before it was pushed up the hill to tanks. The dam water (??? Blessed Water????) will need watching. Huge congratulations on the ingenuity and fortitude in a homesteading-like environment. You have all pulled off a huge variety of amazing projects (miracles). Congratulations to all.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way…and, Jordon will find it! Great seeing you all solving problems and having fun! Happy New Year!🎉❤🎉

I just adore seeing Sadie, my beautiful princess 👸 ❤❤❤❤❤

5:55 oh hes soooo sweetttttt!!!! I just adore him like crazy!!!!

Water is amazing. I remember building dams all the time as a kid at our local beach. You really can make it do just about anything!

If you have so much ground level water, why don't you just dig a well?? Get a big roll of 24'x50' heavy duty black plastic and build a another dam for a swimming pool BELOW the concrete, drinking water dam....Who in their right mind wants to drink the water that people are swimming/bathing in?? Makes no sense what-so-ever!!

Try planting mosquito repellent plants all around the area. To fight off mosquitoes

Loved watching “Little Baker Girl!” That youngin is in her element! Her singing is so precious! Congratulations on your pool of water, what a fantastic gift. Blessings, CarrieJo/NC hugs ❤❤❤

WOW! The Flower and Coffee festival has become so popular! I've never seen so many people at the fair.

If you can have an overflow to the wall then you can make another pool that is for swimming in down below the drinking, cooking,and showering. Use it for gray water usages. ( flushing the toilets, water in the garden, etc. ) You know what you need there on the farm better than all of us because you live there.

So happy you are all home together again . Love from a very cold Ireland, waiting on possible snow.

I wonder if you include some type of stepping out of that pool system? Like rocks that will allow animals to get out. I say this because we had a homemade pool that chipmunks got in and could not get out. Just a thought.

Great job on the wall! In future please add horizontal r-bar as need to tie to vertical re-bar for structural integrity of the wall.

It is always thrilling seeing you upgrade your life there in Panama. Happy Water Hole

So glad to see you finally set this up. I've been suggesting in comments for a long time about the water power system. Good job. OK Matt your suggestion that I've been making is that you need to put yourself in a rail trolley going down the hill from your house to Rodrigos'. This would allow you to move heavy items up and down the hill very easily. If you had some sort of cart on a rail system. You can attach an electric winch at the top and haul heavy stuff up and down. This would be much safer and easier. Again great job.

Very cool! Hope that creek provides all year round for you

I like my coffee to taste like coffee. Don't want fruits, coco, etc. Just nice cup of coffee. I don't need cream, sugar or floating flower designs just coffee. Also coffee to me has a value and when cost exceeds value I need to keep my priorities in order and be a good steward of my funds. Love your channel and have followed for years today I turned 70 and nothing is more obvious than the value of Time. My focus is valuing what time is left and making the balance of time with family memorable. I wish you guys the best in 2024 and beyond.

I appreciate different things. But as for my coffee, I want dark roast and espresso roasts the best.

I hope not to be too much of a nag, but I hope that you make sure that the water flows in the same creek bed where it was travelling previously. You don't want to either deprive someone of their water source farther down the creek or cause the water to flood an area that it didn't flow into before. I am happy that you have a way to source all the water you will need!

15:20 , Sadie’s smile 💝

Sadie singing Jingle bells and baking is so adorable. She is the cutest ever. Sending lots of hugs to her

So awesome to see your water problems resolved. It's the most stressful thing, not to have water when you need it. Well done!

It's absolutely incredible how much you guys know like the fact that you could just do what you did it's incredible so proud of you both

These videos make me SO HAPPY!!!!!! That's all! God's many blessing on y'all and much love from Texas!

Jordan! You get me every time. The way you describe coffee. How can I NOT order some 😂

You shouldn’t swim in your drinking water. Regardless of organic anything. Your bodies harbor good bacteria everywhere but when it gets into a different area it’s not good. You need to cover it to prevent bacteria and parasites from getting in your water. I would recommend getting a ceramic filter by Daulton because you are so casual of the capturing of water. Those filters take out everything.

You guys are jungle working machines! Kudos for all your hard work. Sadie is such a blessing. I always feel calm and appreciative after watching your videos. Thank you

It reminds me of swimming in the pond here on our farm when I was young. Or the creek we have on the other side of the farm. The water looks just the same. We had so much fun. We had to swings & inner-tubes from tractor tires. You need to make yours a little bigger for a floatie. Enjoy! I pray you never run out of water again!! From Oregon with ♥️ Jess

Heavens got a plan for you. Yall are making heaven on earth. We love it. Also any San Diego followers we must meet ! 💃🎶

Y'all are amazing. Sadie is so sweet. That fair looked like fun.

I just love all your videos and adventures. What an amazing family ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Woohooooooo!!!! That's awesome guys!!!

Having an abundance of water to an underground spring will benefit the animals, the food you eat, and creating a separate pool for swimming, rather then swimming in drinking water, is most certainly doable. The Great wall of Panama will most certainly increase your land values. Congratulations!

That is just amazing congratulations and all your accomplishments on Lola’s farm. You guys are all doing a wonderful job.

I have been amazed at the difference in taste between the coffee. I have enjoyed them all. Thank you.

Wow and wow!! I cannot wait to see how this works! Great engineering, Jordan🙌😍🌈❤

Hi Jordan Kaylee, and Sadie. Love ya all

Snowing 🌨 n bitter cold in Michigan. I'm ready for sunshine n 80° ! Thanks for sharing this journey with me. Welcome Back Friends.. God Bless Ya'll . Mucho Love from your friend in Michigan Tam ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💗

Jordan you are an amazing man and you work so hard for your family ❤ I hope you have a back support with the heavy stones!!!

Sade cooking while singing is the best part!

Whoop, Whoop! The great wall of Panama has been built and outstanding work by the team! You are going to enjoy the swimming pool and Sadie will learn to swim! 🌻

Springs are great, but be careful for when animals die in them. Water turns sweet. That's why most people enclose their spring, but I understand one step at a time. Wish you all the best in this endeavor. Things don't happen fast in Central American countries. Also, I believe a couple people already commented on snakes being attracted to water pools, cuidado!

Congratulations ✨✨💛🌻💛✨✨endless water = precious & priceless ✨✨💛🌻💛✨✨

you guys are doing such a great job. All the hard work will be worth it!! Sadie is so freaking smart and funny. gonna try some of the new coffee. thanks guys!!!

.... don't swim in the water you drink, sillies. :) I mean, screw it... swim in it and drink it! :) I mean, if Sadie wants to swim in it... let her! :D Also, I just ordered a bag of each of those new coffees. Love you guys. Thanks for being such a joy. Blessings on you all from North Carolina.
