We start removing material from the pond to make room for the clay liner. We haul all the fill up to the garage

Adam, I suggest you shoot sod with mulch that back fill by the house before it starts raining and avoid erosion of the slope. It’s amazing how efficient it is moving dirt when the operator is one with the machine! Very well put together video. Ralph could link his business to this video to promote his work if he even need to.

I’d keep putting more fill, on that slope by the house, to greatly reduce the slope % and make it where you can mow it. Looks like it will require a lot more fill to accomplish that.

Congratulations on your recent move to be a full time content creator. Not sure if you intended it all along but your style in capturing, presenting, and documenting your projects has been at a high, if not professional level all along. Some of your early videos showed you playing with different formats of illustrating viewpoints of what you captured and creating unique perspectives. IMO you have a catalogue of topics that you can market to your new subscribers so a recommendation is to make comments from time to time letting them know the earlier content is sitting there if they want to see “what happened before”. This is best when doing topics in a playlist so a person can hit all the pond videos which includes the design, build, playtime, heartbreak, remedies, and final solution. Likewise if you have woodcutting equipment that you are reviewing or doing trials whether they be proof of concept or marketing trials before actually taking ownership. I suspect that you could negotiate the manufacturers ability to use those videos (on your site) in ways profitable or cost reducing against a purchase. Likewise, you could have special ones that are produced/edited uniquely for them which are not on your site but could include a cross pollination pointer to other interesting content on your site (to grow your subscriber base). One more thing….now that you are full time, I strongly recommend that you find relevant manufacturers to visit and tour which fit into the area of interest for those people (myself included) who love to go along for the ride. It doesn’t hurt to visit other KZfaq channels where cross pollination creates a rising tide where all boats get a rise.

Pond is coming along great. How ever I do have one concern about the fill project in front of the house. A year or so ago Captain Kleeman had a problem with his pond dam. The embankment was sliding down the hill because he didn’t take the time to scrape off the grass And top soil before tracking in the new layer of dirt. He had found out that as the grass began to decay it turned into A greasy layer and allowed the hill to slide away. I apologize if I’m coming across as being an armchair hero that is not my intention it’s just something that I have noticed if you or your contractor have a rebuttal I’m sure we’d all be happy to hear it.🙂👍

Adam, consider adding bentonite to your 1’ of clay if you can get it while your pond is dry. It’s an extra sealant to be sure. 1’ of clay doesn’t give you a lot of extra margin. Bentonite can help seal that up tight while dry.
