@@HometownAcresthe drone footage was major coolness!! Pond 2 and 3 were happy accidents! You knew you were digging borrow pits. Not ponds. Happy for you!
Congratulations Adam!!! An excellent life lesson for us all how perseverance pays off. I must give you credit for sticking with it all these years. You're multiple repair attempts and expanding to the new ponds is really a testimonial to your character. I'm thinking how you can share this series with your children in the future, so they see how hard work pays off and the benefits to not giving up. Great job as I have followed your channel since the beginning when you bought the property and blamed Mike Morgan for costing you $350k lol! Best thing that could have happened - now look at your place and how it has grown. Keep up the great work!
The saga of Lake Adam's has finally concluded !!! I would never have imagined that excavating a pond and watching it fill with water could be such a dramatic story. Congratulations !!! It's going to be hard to top this one. 😜Thanks for the video !!!
Seeing your dream turn in to reality. Outstanding effort Adam. You’ve poured your heart and soul into this project and you have to be thrilled. Thanks for taking us on your journey!
Congratulations on the pond!! You've worked tirelessly to give your family a great place for recreation on your property!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Congratulations on sticking with it for this long. I know it has come at a cost both financially and emotionally. What is nice is that it has really turned out better than originally planned with now having 3 ponds. What a change in the weather. I am probably an hour south of you and we are lucky to have 4 inches of snow right now. You are just far enough north you get hit harder.
Would you be willing to do an experiment? Don't add any more pond dye for a while, let it clear up to a natural water color. Just to see what it looks like?
As painful as the pond has been. It’s drawn a lot of people into a great RUclips channel. Congrats on it finally being full. Excited for the next pond upgrade projects. What’s in the pipeline? Fix up the sand beach area? Dock?
@Hometowneacres you should build a hoist system in the garage that can lift/ lower, then shelf/ store that battery system! Then you wouldn't have to move them so much for alternate uses around the property. Then you could put them on a skid to lift into your truck with the tractor
Congratulations Adam, your determination and dedication has paid off. Hopefully now the ponds will freeze over for some winter fun, skating and hockey. I was thinking if you picked up a small Harbour Freight trailer you could mount the batteries in the trailer and pull the trailer up to the solar and leave it there freeing up the truck for other use. Truly Postcard Picture Perfect. 😀👍👍👍
Pond looks good! Been following for a few years now, and it's been exciting to see the changes. I also noticed a new SUV in the garage! It looks more roomy than the old one! What a beautiful property you have! It looks like something out of a painting!
You could probably wire in a sensor in the big pond at the overflow, where if the water level is below the top of ths stand pipe, it allows the solar to pump water from the bottom pond. When it gets full, it turns off the pump. That way it would just top off the big pond whenever there is solar power available and not waste water either. That should be fairly simple from a controls perspective with a couple relays.
You did it! You outlasted the number of obstacles that were a plague to your dream goal. As you already noted, you might still have leakage but if so, that water movement through the soil has a remedy in getting cycled back up to pond #1. The exciting part(s) now will be watching maintenance and new additions. Enjoy your ice rink.
Great to see the pond full Adam. I've enjoyed watching from the beginning. During my summers in college I worked on Interstate road construction and learned a lot about moving dirt and compacting it. Your first dam build made me shudder because of the lack of good compaction between lifts. After two more attempts I think you have it right now! Can't wait to see the hockey rink.
Congratulations on the pond, it has been a long struggle but the final results will be well worth the effort. I’m you and your family will have many years of enjoyment from it. Good job well done 👍
Yes Adam 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so good to see it full. Please keep the update coming defo interesting to see. Hope it's not leaking but now it's got good volume it will put pressure on the bottom and clay liner so will seal it's self easier 🤞🤞
One think to remember is that a large pond can get by with a smaller outlet pipe because it takes so much more water to raise the level. A small pond would fill much quicker and would require a larger pipe.
Beautiful!!..you've really done a great job...very impressive. You really have developed a beautiful homestead. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
Congratulations Adam! I know how big a deal this is for you. I expect to see some hockey being played when it ices over. My pond has been iced over pretty much since the first of December. Not enough to get out on for the most part. I haven't been out to it since before Christmas so it should be a good sheet of ice now. Take care, have a great week and God Bless you all!!!🙏❤😊
Congratulations, Adam. You deserve a win! Great-looking pond and a great professional video/music time-lapse. Well put together; you're doing excellent. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work!
Congratulations!! 🎉 i know it HAS to feel good to see that thing full! I bet it looks amazing looking from inside your house and looking down towards the pond. What a great new years present to you and your family
I agree. We had an irrigation canal overflow due to a 1,000 year rain event. It quickly cut 30' deep in ground that had never been disturbed. His saving grace might be that it would be a low volume of water, at least to start.
This must be some older content with all the snow we’ve had lately…that can only help too! I don’t know about your pretty blue ice, though. Plenty more cold on the way too. It’s exciting to see this pond full. 🎉
Thank you pond number two!! Congratulations on the hard work to get pond one full! You should consider another generator when the grid goes down. Solar batteries and panels are only part time power.

@@murf247 same!
Me too!!!!
We all have… it’s been a roller coaster
I’m bringing the jet ski over this summer. Oh and Kyle got a new truck. 😂
Beautiful homestead Adam. The ponds with the snow is picture perfect. Congrats.
Thanks 👍
@@HometownAcresthe drone footage was major coolness!!
Pond 2 and 3 were happy accidents! You knew you were digging borrow pits. Not ponds.
Happy for you!
Congratulations on the full pond Adam! Persistence certainly does pay off. I hope it freezes up nicely so your family can go ice skating soon.
The drone footage close to the surface of the pond was awesome. Especially the treeline reflection. Another enjoyable video.
Congratulations on the pond. The aerial view of the pond and your snow-covered property is very picturesque.
Congratulations! All the hard work you’ve done is starting to pay off! I couldn’t be happier for you!

This is great to see. It is amazing how much bigger the pond seems at the full water level. Really adds usable area.
Seeing your dream turn in to reality. Outstanding effort Adam. You’ve poured your heart and soul into this project and you have to be thrilled. Thanks for taking us on your journey!
🎉congratulations, I feel so invested in this, I’ve been watching you repeatedly repair. Fingers crossed for a freeze and finally a game 🎉
3.5 years...what a ride! Congratulations Adam!!!
Congrats! All of the planning and hard work paid off.
Congratulations Hometown Acres! Finally, the pond is full. ✌

Super happy for you. The downside is this = less pond updates.
I would triple like this video if I could. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Put a float switch in the big pond to run the pump to maintain the water level.
Congratulations Adam! I have been following your pond project since the beginning!
Wow an unbelievable. That drone shot of the large pond had me excited to see it full. Congratulations and way to persevere!
Congratulations! All your hard work paid off. Great watching all the progress.
Beautiful Winter Wonder Pond
I know you are excited on this milestone. Congratulations.
Been on this channel since the beginning.
Thank you

Well done, it all looks awesome especially with the snow ❤
Gorgeous water color with the snow. Just wow!
Looks great! All that hard work paid off!

Adam, Congratulations on your pond!! Your hard work payed off.
It;s been a great project to follow been watching since before the pond build began great content!

Now I can see lining the shore with stone. But yea it’s holding water! Congratulations!!
So happy for ya. . I know how important the pond project was for ya . Thanks for sharing. Craig. Pa.
Amazing to see everything full and all that snow! Great work.
Congratulations!! What a relief!! take care my friend!!

Your first dam build made me shudder because of the lack of good compaction between lifts. After two more attempts I think you have it right now! Can't wait to see the hockey rink.
Never thought I could get emotional over a pond, lol. Congratulations Adam!!! Hope it freezes 12" thick so you can skate 🤠👍
Nothing makes me happier than a full pond!!! Fantastic work!
Congratulations, great to see. Thanks for all the honest videos you have made along the way to get to this point.
What an incredible milestone after a true saga as you put it! So happy for you and your family. Lots of great memories ahead!
Congratulations on the pond, it has been a long struggle but the final results will be well worth the effort. I’m you and your family will have many years of enjoyment from it. Good job well done 👍
Yes Adam 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so good to see it full. Please keep the update coming defo interesting to see. Hope it's not leaking but now it's got good volume it will put pressure on the bottom and clay liner so will seal it's self easier 🤞🤞
🎉🎉🎉 Awesome to see everything you've put into this come together!!
I definitely want to see it frozen over and your family skating on it as you said when you started all this! That just sounds so cool!
One think to remember is that a large pond can get by with a smaller outlet pipe because it takes so much more water to raise the level. A small pond would fill much quicker and would require a larger pipe.
I felt like celebrating more than you did! I was ready to pop some champagne!
Beautiful!!..you've really done a great job...very impressive. You really have developed a beautiful homestead. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
As they say - third times the charm. Glad to see the pond filling like you had hoped in the beginning. Stay safe.
I have also waited 3 years!😂 Inspiring to say the least.
Dug my own pond about the same time as you.
Finaly, Congrats!😊
Very impressive, Adam! This has been a great saga to keep up with and I admire your perseverance and ingenuity! I'm glad you had a successful outcome!
Congratulations Adam. Great to see that your perseverance paid off!

Congrats Adam! You have taken a nice property and made it Extraordinary! Well done!
Congratulations on your pond
Super happy for you and your fam!
great news, the place looks fantastic.
So happy about the pond!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost wanted to shed a tear or two in celebration! 😊
Happy for you Adam! Pond 2 seemed to had several springs in it as well.
Simply - Congratulations!
Those ponds are beautiful! Love pond content.
Congratulations!! 🎉 i know it HAS to feel good to see that thing full! I bet it looks amazing looking from inside your house and looking down towards the pond. What a great new years present to you and your family
Hope you are right about that spillway, my guess is that any overflow will quickly erode/cut through that ground.
I agree. We had an irrigation canal overflow due to a 1,000 year rain event. It quickly cut 30' deep in ground that had never been disturbed. His saving grace might be that it would be a low volume of water, at least to start.
Next project is a skate/swim hut next to the pond with a fire pit.
I hope for regular updates and pond projects. I check every week for your videos hoping for pond projects. Thanks & Congrats!!!!
Congratulations, you are living proof being stubborn can be a good trait. Well, done.
Would have loved to seen more pictures of the beautiful Christmas lights on the house. Great job of free content.
Exciting update everything happening real quick with your ponds, awesome news!
Won't lie man, I cheered for you. Been a heck of a journey, congratulations!
Thanks!
So glad it’s full. Now to grow trophy bass in there
What a great day to see it finally full after all the trials and tribulations! Well done Adam enjoy your moment 🍻🍻
So happy for you Adam!
Seriously I can’t imagine how frustrating this journey has been and I’m just thrilled for you.
Congratulations on the pond. It looks fantastic.

That is a long time in the making and hopefully you can check that off the list on e and for all! The property looks nice after a snow storm
Looking great :) Hopefully a winter wonderland with you and the Fam' skating away :) Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work :)
Congrats, Adam, that was a big day. Hope you get lots of skating weather.
So great to see it full for you!!! Have you ever tried a piece of 2” pipe for your plow edge? It works really well on gravel driveways.
So happy for you. It has been a long journey. I had happy tears for you.
Great update Adam, the pond and property is looking fantastic.
All your hard work on your pond paid off congrats!!
Thank you pond number two!! Congratulations on the hard work to get pond one full!
You should consider another generator when the grid goes down. Solar batteries and panels are only part time power.
Best title ever! LOL Congrats on the full pond! Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
What a cool milestone! Been here since the beginning.
Very Pretty with the snow
Beautiful drone shots. Glad you are getting some success finally.
I've been waiting in my chair every morning for this pond to fill up. well done. now hockey time.
Congrats Adam. Great job. Thank you!!!!
