Who else loves these guys?!?
I wouldn't say love. They're people on the internet that I don't know.
Me!
I absolutely do!! I have been with them from the beginning and now I feel like they are family ❤️
🙋♀️
@@freighter1097 Sad for you 😢
Gosh you can tell how long I’ve watched this channel I’ve started to notice bear going grey around his whiskers
Another project complete. You have a honorary masters degree in doing the impossible. You built what you have with little or no experience. And together, what a team. You have a beautiful friendship we all enjoy. Love the updates.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SCAMMER !!!! DO NOT CALL !
Tosser !!
As much as I like the music at the end I always hate to hear that the episode is coming to an end. You have such a wonderful story to tell. Thanks for sharing your off-grid life with the world! The children are adorable!
I feel exactly the same way!
What a huge difference putting air into the water has made! All of the fish and turtles are absolutely loving it. Great job!!!
WOW! Awesome! When I was a kid went to camp in Jersey in the Pines. Water looked like ice tea...growing with the pine trees. Had to wash out swim suits or it would turn white tan...but it was great when summers were hot! Your water now looks like it's getting to ice tea!
AMAZING DIFFERENCE in just a week! 😁...
The snakes are already thriving at least with a cleaner clear water you can see them
@Flynn Spunks snakes are animals too! You live in the southern parts of the United States, you're gonna get snakes, that is the way of the world 🤷♀️

The dogs almost captured dolphins, amazing!
Just a matter of time...
No spoilers please! I just found your channel on Friday. I have now completed the first year and starting on the next. When I started the first videos, I told myself,” They’ll never get it done!” Little by little, I was drawn into you two, your untypical methods and Bear. Just watched your big announcement,thus my opening request. You guys continued to intrigue me with your methods and now I am hooked! I have stopped watching my other favorite channels so I can see more of your progress. Just came to this video to post this message in hopes of it getting read by you, then it’s back to where I left off. You are amazing young couple and the videos are kept to a reasonable watching time! I am too old this trip around, but hope to take some of your efforts with me into whatever comes next. Best wishes and I will let you know when I get caught up! Thanks again for sharing your time, thought, progress and sense of humor to a disabled ex cop!
Have fun!! I know what you'll be doing this xmas Ha ha cheers from Western Australia
Y’all are the 2nd most snakey place I know.
I used to go hunting w a friend and when we did the summer work of brush cutting , planting and just working the land etc we’d see at least 100 rattlesnakes during the summer. Those things were massive. Probably 10” round and 6-8’ long. There were no small ones that I ever saw.
Part of the land was about 50 acres of hayfields. They bale up large round bales and stack them around the field to get as needed. If you disturbed any hay bales be ready for a few to come out from under them.
It was one of the rules if the club that we had to wear snake boots at all times even during the winter because here in alabama it can still be 60-70 degrees in the winter sometimes.
Then when I started watching y’all’s channel & seeing all the snakes y’all find y’all come in #2 as most snakey places I’ve seen. Lol
Be vigilant out there
I am so glad you can see your dolphins 🐬 🐬 in the pond now 🐠🐟💕
I must be honest, when you said you were going to aerate the pond to clear it up I thought you were mad and will never succeed because of its size. And here you are. This is why I love this channel. You are showing me constantly that nothing is impossible. Thank you.
There are lots of things impossible. Don’t be silly
@@bigscreenbird8198 like going to “space”
Hello Family 🤗 great job on the pond Spencer 👍 looking so pretty 😉 the kids are having a fun time outside 🙂. Makenzie the video shots of sunset & etc are beautiful 🌞🌳 take care🙏🇺🇲💖
@@bigscreenbird8198 Obviously. The statement isn't meant to be taken literally. Don't be silly.
@@LoveFirstYou yeah I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. I take people at their word instead of reading in rhymes and bullshit.
I honestly never thought this would work on such a vast amount of water, but once again, Spencer came through with yet another one of his inventive ideas. It's lovely to see the natural life in the pond doing their thing. Great job AGAIN!!, guys 🤗
ruclips.net/channel/UCz92XLXhecvRJrCaPXFOdzw
They are too cute. I'm going to get a little tearra just like it. Lol. God bless you guys.
OMG sharks and dolphins in the pond behind the house, children are so sweet 👶👧 can’t stop smiling 😍
I've enjoyed this family for a couple of years now
Good job with the magical “Dolphin Pond”!
The upside of aerating the pond will be the big reduction in the number of mosquitoes around the property. Can't wait to see what the next project is. Probably finishing up the other sea can and starting on the barn. Inspirational as always.
The snake certainly did blend in with the tree!
Awesome 👏🏼 job! I’m still a wee bit freaked out by the snakes 🐍. Maybe get a pet mongoose to keep the yard safe-😂.
And kill the poisonous one when they catch one
Well, this old guy is still binging your videos and just got to Beau’s actual birthday! Moving along with every free minute of your build. I am so amazed at both of you and Spencer’s abilities and personality! If there were ever a couple meant to be together it’s you two! I am being true to the channel and not watching ahead. Goigto get caught up shortly!?? But I M not going to cheat. I want to watch the entire process, so I am just coming to most recent videos to comment only. Cannot wait until I see Beau grow! Best wishes andHappy BIRTH bay Beau!
There is a difference, but honestly I highly recommend using barley straw, and barley balls attach them close to the aerator it really does work, and the clarity will increase. Take care and God bless amen .
What a terrific result. Never thought that it would happen so quickly. The catfish, dolphins or sharks, look like willing playmates for the dogs. Those water snakes will be easier to spot too, thank God.
After all the destruction in Florida, it is life-affirming to see one tiny lake getting a second chance at life. Well done.
I thought they were in Texas?
I live in SWFL.
@@erikrenner cool.
They are in texas.
@@JHeck1989
Not at the moment. Not much left after Hurricane Ian.
slow mo's and speed ramps been on point. love it
When you get done your projects and end your podcasts I will miss you guys.
I've enjoyed you two
Steve
Dear Spencer, you do have a head for engineering. This is not something anyone and everyone can do - I mean what you have done on this channel. I am always amazed and eager to see the next set of things. Hi, MacKenzie, I am including your grit and positive attitude and support and work in this acknowledgement too.
I agree! It’s obvious how intelligent he is. Wonder if he has some sort of engineering degree?
'
@NG Hey the two of them r 1 brain, stupid, funny and forever correcting and compromising. It is why I love them BOTH!
yes! totally agree!
It’s going to end up being one of the single most cool things you’ve done yet! It’s gonna be beautiful!
ruclips.net/channel/UCz92XLXhecvRJrCaPXFOdzw
Love that Spencer added a “How I did it” I love seeing how you guys constantly improve and change things.
Job well done, Spencer! I love this family and hope this channel never goes away, too. Love that Beau called the catfish "dolphins"!!
ruclips.net/channel/UCz92XLXhecvRJrCaPXFOdzw
I look forward to their new videos every week
You guys are much better than me. I wouldnt be releasing those snakes after getting so close to my family.
They’d get a death sentence from me as well.🎉
if you go back and look, it looks like he chopped it in pieces - there was still part of the snake on the ground when he started walking away with part of it...
May Lifeuncontained have many more days happyness!
You guys are creating a wonderful sanctuary for yourself and your kids.
Burr I know that water is cold. Another great job Spencer. Water already looks better. Time to reclean the ponds edge and remove remaining dock so you will be able to see snakes, etc. If you had a couple of guineas to eat ticks, fleas, all matter of slugs etc. They will also clean up your garden without tearing it up. Check it out. Children are so cute. Enjoy your weekend.
It's been 90+F in TX for the last 4 months, I suspect the water is nice and warm
Yeah, I’d be more worried about accidentally getting brain-eating amoeba in my mouth, than being cold. Texas still-pond water is dangerous!
Why would it be cold?
@@juliemac5604 water moccasins. No thanks. And.they should kill a poisonous snake when they catch it
@@granny58 well it has been in the 50's at night. That is a big temperature difference. Texans aren't crazy about cold water. I'm not.
Dolphins! So adorable!❤
Did your daughter actually say, at 12:20 "Mommy, dolphins a shark?" That was really cute.☺
I know your life is not perfect, no ones is but Dang! You guys have built yourself a little bit of Paradise. Your babies are growing up strong and smart and the joys just shines from them. You two have done so well. You should be very proud of your home and family. My hat is off to you!😅
I love watching your videos and Happy to see the Pond being cleaned, But at some time maybe can Spencer build a play structure for your cute kids, I think that would be fun for them. Maybe some swings and a slide
Possibly the snakes might be focus before that next happy build close to the home.
Hoping barrier/skirting helps stop them being drawn close for shelter. Might take a year.
@@pjk1714 being from Florida, I don't think they appreciate just how dangerous those snakes are, and they just keep hauling them off to the wooded part of the property, and turning them loose, to then make more snakes and infest the place. they need to dispatch every one they see. getting bit by one can destroy body parts , or even kill you.
Something else you might consider is a water fountain. You can put the intake on one side of the pond and the fountain on the other an it will circulate the water. Aeration will make your fish grow larger. The Japanese aerate their mud ponds with what looks like a steam boat paddle that spins and flips and splashes the water. I have a Karashi Koi from Japan that is 28 inches and still growing he would get huge in that pond.. With catfish you will always have muddy water. You can also use septic tank bacteria and enzymes in your pond read the labels there are fish safe ones. If you pour it around the aerator it will eat up sludge.
I love the idea of adding a fountain to help circulate the water.
A fan of water, also called an aerator on a swimming pool, will also clear your pond and cool it a few degrees..
It does the same thing that a natural waterfall would do..
@@daveallen63 I live in Arlington Texas we didn’t have rain from June 3 until August 21st. 100+ for days on end. I have a waterfall on my pond and air on my pond he has isn’t going to get evaporated by a fountain but I do like waterfalls he would need a liner and rocks for that and a 1/8 horse power artesian pump at least for that. $500-600 bucks.
Yes it aeration twice to look at and hear
I would definitely agree to that as it would probably help aerate if the pond even more and add an artistic appearance
Has anybody notified Shrek he's being evicted? Sorry, couldn't resist. I love your videos. Thanks so much for the videos and the way your family lives. I am so encouraged when I see your videos. Hugs. Keep on keeping on!!!
Well done you can start to see what live they is in the pond, good for the kid's to learns each live stock and feed, makes easy to see any snakes before going to close to them.
Oh wow! You never showed us the fishes before and now you can see them! It'd be so cool if the pond kept clearing even more than this, maybe one day it could be blue!
Egads!....I so loved, "Dolphins, Mommy!" And the pond looks to be immensely improved. Very well done, Spenser.
I bet your fish and wildlife are so appreciative for the oxygenation!!!
Great job!!
Necessity is the mother of invention - Great Job Spencer!
There’s another advantage to the aerator pump. Mosquitoes won’t lay there eggs in moving water. So maybe less problems with them next summer. Alan
Looks like the "dolphins" and turtles are loving the pond aeration! It looks great!
Dolphins and sharks! How bloody cute!!!!!! Nice job
Spencer here's a tip I learned while maintaining a 20 acre lake and it applies to a pond as well. To impede the growth of algae one has to cut back the amount of light penetrating the water causing algae growth. I used a product called Aqua Shade that is highly concentrated and it colors the water and shades it as well. There is zero harm to the fish and small crustaceans st the bottom of the food chain. I'm not promoting a specific product because there are many good ones. Most golf courses use an aqua shade and I recommend doing that to enhance the beauty of your pond.
I've watched you guys from the time you first started. I was so shocked at the snakes, the falling apart barn. Then you showed your sleeping area. You've come a long way.
We put a shallow well point in out pond in Michigan, and hooked it up to a shallow well pump and than it kept the water circulation. We also used copper sulfate ever year to get rid of the algae. We had bass, and different sunfish in it. We didn't have cat fish. We swam in it all the time. We hit 3 springs though when we dug it and it was 30 ft deep.
Yes. Catfish create muck. Having an arrangement of fresh water fish and creating a food chain would be a great progression.
I'm so glad to see Spencer out in the pond enjoying the fruits of his labor. May not be perfect yet, but soon will be. Time for some relaxing, Spencer, on your tube. Enjoy.
Spencer you are very knowledgeable about many things. You accomplish anything that you try.
Y’all should become Amazon affiliates and put up parts lists when you do projects like this. It doesn’t cost anything and would make replication of these projects easier for others. Id love to do this for my FIL’s pond.
I would change the air bubbles for one that shots water out of the pond. Would look so nice and I'm sure the kids will love watching it. Keep up your hard work guys.
I admire the way y'all have cobbled this whole homestead together with brute strength and awkwardness. (Plus a lot of research and skull sweat) Thanks so much for tripling your work load to document the journey.
That cottonmouth was practically invisible! Good catch!!
What a gift, to come home from church Sunday early afternoon, and find this video! I’m so thrilled you were able to make so much progress on the aeration!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SCAMMER !!!! DO NOT CALL !
Similar to the post below, I thought that you would need at least two aerators, but am happy to see that things are clearing up with only one! I love seeing how the two of you make steady, wonderful improvements to your property. I can hardly wait for what's next!
A person can't help but love you guys. I enjoy your videos and am always rooting for your success!
One really good natural produce to use is Barley straw bales. Place a few small bales around the pond, half in and out of the water. They will start to break down and create a natural control for algae(green water). Safe for you and the animals.
Love the show!!!
It is very difficult to keep a pond with almost stale water clear from algae, especially in the summertime when the sun heat up the water. I would think you can see quite some improvement here in the fall and winter, but the real test will be next summer, when the heat comes back. Still a great project tho. 👍
To remove the lid without difficulty created by the lid drain hose going through the bottom of the tote , you could mount a bigger straight pipe from the bottom of the tote going up and shorter the smaller drain hose that would slide free in the bigger stationary pipe .
You really doing the pond a favor!
That little piece of equipment is changing the color and smell of a pond that big! Even the animals that live in the water seem happier. You guys should get a cat or two to keep away the snakes and help you catch some fish.
Love Your Videos . I Have A Phobia OF SNAKES I ALWAYS LOOK AWAY. So Proud Of Your Accomplishments. 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
I think the catfish may have turned your air-stone stand upside down. That may be why there is so much sediment. You might be able to build the stand a little taller so the bubblers are further from the bottom sediment, and also wider (and maybe heavier) so it is more stable and less likely to flip over. Best wishes!

The pond sure looks good and clear and you can see catfish swimming around in the pond. Stay safe. Walk in Peace.
You two are constantly proving that ordinary people can achieve extradinary things. Amazing.😊
It is going to be beautiful once it has cleared up but, I still wouldn’t go in. After seeing the snakes awhile back, I am too much a snake fraidycat to go in. Beau standing at the window saying hi to daddy was so sweet. Both of your children are such sweeties. You two have accomplished so much, it has been such a pleasure following you.❤️
I think the catfish are way worse... 😂
@@Galemor1 I have to agree with on that. I have never understood how any one could even eat them.
I would NEVER want to live in a place where there are so many snakes and to worry about the children being outside with them in the trees and everywhere...UGH!!!
The cat fish can be used as dog food and fertilizer. Reducing their numbers will help clear the pond as they are bottom feeders.
Most inspirational RUclips channel!
Once again this is over far too soon, can’t wait for the next one, great work Spencer as always, the family are growing up so fast they must keep mummy very busy.
Spencer the engineer strikes again! I had faith that this would work. Great episode guys. Keep protecting those babies from the snakes. My only critic is that I with these were longer.😭
Wow Guy’s I Cannot Believe The Difference In Such A Short Time Frame, Looks Absolutely Amazing “Incredibly Well Done”…..👏👏👏
Once again, y'all knocked this one out of the park.
Your pond will look so much better after a month. Plus the pond life will appreciate the change. Your home is so beautiful too. The kids have grown. Wonderful family 😊
Every time I watch your projects I am completely astounded by the whole process and the end results are always so fantastic. You are such hard working and ingenious individuals that make a perfect couple and great roll models for your well loved and precious children . You are building a life well worthwhile for all of you and it will be something you should definitely be proud of . Love to all of you.

How did you know that aerating the pond would remove the particles in suspension? Did they settle down as sediment or did they rise to the surface? I was thinking, maybe along with aeration you could include some water filtering in your system. Have you thought of that? By the way, thank you for hundreds of hours of entertainment watching your family. You guys are literally incredible. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow Spencer, you definitely have figured out how to make the better. You sure made the turtles and the catfish really happy!! I hope that it's a deterrent for the snakes bc it's scary to see the kids outside plus being afraid of the snakes biting one of them. I can't believe how much better it is looking after just a week!!
You both have done an amazing job. Thank you for allowing us, as your viewers to be part of your life by also showing that all is possible when you do not give up and you work extremely hard to get the job done 🙏 ❤.
Look forward to each video! You should put your pond aerator solar design for sale as a .pdf. I'd buy it. Hey, another income stream - can't beat that!
My husband and I had a couple of pay lakes. We used aerators in them to keep oxygen in them. We stocked fish every week so people could come and fish. I grew to love sitting on the side of the lake with our customers and fish all day. I don't eat catfish so it was catch and relished them.
You are the most awesomist (if there is such a word) man on earth because you make the word can't non-existent. There's nothing you can't do when you said you were gonna clean out you pond water. Mckenzie you a lucky lady you two are made for each other I just ❤️ waching you guys!!!!!
I just like to comment but wouldn't know how to telegram you guys I'm sort of tech illiterate I'm you guys from Laie, Hawaii
Now this is just too dang cool! I LOVE ponds! Wish I had one! I can't wait to see more progress on this. I hope you guys keep giving regular updates on the pond! Truly envious of what you two have accomplished! Love your videos!
The aerator was a great idea. I hope they get inspired to bring in a few truckloads of sand to create a little beach area by the waterfront of their pond. That would be really cool for the kids. And I'm sure they'll eventually be putting a new floating dock out on the water for fishing and swimming as well. Fun for the whole family and friends.
Your pond is like a miracle it's happening, little by little it's clearing up like never before! Good job Spencer.!
🤣 Oh My Heart, When Bo says " Dolphins " 🤣🥰
She's got the most darling curls, will he gave them? Surely don't come from Spencer! Lol
I hope the pond air system works! From the drone it looks like a gas leak!! Ha The kids are SO cute!
Awesome job guys, you can notice the activity of all the fish and creatures.
Wow, that looks so much better! What a huge difference. Those cat fish are huge. I’d be eating fried fish for dinner at least once a month. Yummy.
Along with your family and family dog, the fish and turtles will all enjoy the clearer water
This is a much-needed and I'm sure much-appreciated feature to incorporate into the homestead, the pond life will thrive and the benefit for you guys will be its natural beauty, very well done, and very well thought out.
The pond animals will certainly like it more.
Please keep doing projects and living your life. Your channel is the highlight of my work week each week. Your family is precious. Thought about a chicken coup ?
Now that is a Swimming Hole now!! Congratulations!!
You guys do such great work!! Thanks for sharing your continuing adventure with us!
Great idea. Shade net on the perimeter fencing about two to three feet wide along the length of the fencing will help keep snakes out. Also won't there be a danger of overheating in the battery, converter box without any ventilation holes? Just a thought.
I hope this channel never end
I found the channel two months ago and have watch all your videos I will say you guys are really cool.
And I love your family😍
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Very cool. Keep showings us the pond so we so how clear it ends up being once it reaches equilibrium.
Wonderful, been watching you folks from the beginning, you have really done wonders with it all! Love the videos!
