🏝 INGROUND STOCK TANK POOL! 

Lucky woman! Having a husband that builds around the home is a blessing.

good grief what does it take in this life to find a handy man like this. Like pulling teeth. Great job !

I got to give respect for hand digging that monster hole. Geezus. Beautiful job on the whole project!

Great job! Enjoyed the editing as well. We bought the 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tank from tractor supply right at the time when everyone was buying up all the pools. Found a small 300 gallon pool pump and it barely moved water. Removed the filter, removed the filter paper, cut out half of the plastic in the filter and wrapped it with reusable filter material. Works great now. I used a 90° jet at the outlet side so water circulates around the pool and when not usung it, I put a pool cleaning net suspended in front of the jet and it automatically collects most floating debris as the water circulates. Nothing fancy but very enjoyable just the same.

Got to be one of the more entertaining DIY video I've ever seen. The music, editing, everything was just great. Continued blessing Nick to you and family. All good things!

I think you made a really beautiful pool for your dogs.

Best part was watching the dynamic between you and your wife!!!! Love to see happy flourishing couples! You did an amazing job.

Super great job. The woman is sure blessed to have this man who diligently tries to make her and him a pool. Both of you, great team work.

It’s the determination and dedication for me 🙌🏾 Great Job!

I bought the same exact blue plastic stock tank from a feed store before the pandemic, ( none available now ) hired my neighbor to deliver it, it's 8' across and 2' high and was told it holds 700 gallons of water. It's made by Behlen. The hardest part was getting it level, it's only half in the ground. I keep Koi in it and they are growing like weeds and actually survived the New England winter with just an air bubbler. What you did with yours is over the top. Great video !

My husband did something similar. We bought a round 4' deep 16ft diameter above ground and put it in the ground. We rented a small back hoe to dig out the hole. We bought a regular pool pump and filter used for in ground pools, not the crappy ones that come with above ground pools. Like in this video made it all very nice. Spent a total of about 5k on everything. Kids swam in it for about 4 years until they lost interest. When we took it out, was interesting to see that non of the metal supports had even rusted at all. Most people had no idea it was an above ground pool put in ground. We put it in ourselves with the help of husband's bro and 2 hired teens. 4 years later we took it out ourselves filled in the hole with a truck load of purchased dirt and viola, looks like it was never there!

I have had a blue stock tank pool for years. We had a hillside that we terraced for gardens, and set the tank in the lower level. We initially used it as a swimming pool for our black cocker spaniel, who got very hot in the summer and often swam in the pool. Later I used it as a fish pond. Recently I have 2 grandsons and we converted it back to a pool for them.

😉 great job. I wish it was the good old days in the '90s, where your buddies come over and you provide beer and food on the grill and good music and we get it done 😎

Nothing like having a man that's not only loving but super handy and creative. Kind of like having a real life super hero! Excellent job!

That “baby dog” earned a “subscribe”! 🐶💕

It may not be perfect but you have the Pride that you did it yourself. It looks Beautiful.

I know how extremely hard work all this was. Your amazing to do this for your family.

In the 60s, my sisters and I swam in a stock tank in the middle of the pasture! Algae and all! I like this one a lot better!

Fabulous!! you could watch movies, projecting them onto the shed!

You need an awning over the pool ,tiki torches, more lights! Great job, great abs👍😍

I forgot what I came to my computer for after stumbling upon your video! I watched and enjoyed even though I can only dream of having such a project! The entertainment and instruction was outstanding. The pool and landscaping...beautiful. End result... peaceful oasis.

Good Job My Friend! Nice Cooling hole.👍🏽

This is so perfect for my small yard. Thanks for the idea, Love this ❤️

Perfectly great 👍🏾

Oh my goodness my husband did this about 15 years ago and we loved it.we never put it in ground although and he bought a pump for a hundred dollars that went to an in ground pool that made the water bubble like crazy. We spent many hours enjoying it till we moved about six years ago from Florida to Georgia..

I gave up digging way before you lol. I would have stopped and filled that hole real quick. Nice job.

Instead of wasting water, to cool it down, just freeze water in gallon jugs, then add a few to cool it down. Works great in hydro setups...

Thank you for helping others see in fun video DIY Oasis Mission Possible where hard work pays off in a beautiful landscape choice. How you even made plumbing part look easy is a testament to your skill set. Bravisimo! Will you video-share a future Wine Pergola, Dog Obstacle Course or Self-Sustaining Food Pyramid next? 🕊️🏖️🍓

This was first class DIY video. I just loved that music editing of that’s just my baby dog cute.

Looks fantastic! Love the pavers,lights and location, and you guys nailed it!

Wow! I like this idea a lot! We had a catastrophic sign from God that we weren’t supposed to have an above ground, after a tree branch from one of our pines fell straight down the middle of it, this past winter. We did fix it temporarily for Summer; however, the effort and work involved to repeatedly put a band-aid over the damaged areas.. let’s just say, it wasn’t a permanent fix. With little to no affordable option, for a replacement that doesn’t involve selling one of your kidneys for shipping, we’ve been looking to do something like this, as well. I, myself, prefer to “Do It Myself”, as opposed to paying someone to come out and do the same thing. This certainly appears to be something I could do, as I enjoy jumping in there and getting my hands dirty. Thanks for the inspiration and spark to get this project kicked off!

Very cool! Enjoy it you all!!

I fell out laughing with the “ tired of this grandpa” lmbo!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😊 that made my day 😂😂😂 I have to share for that alone smh I’m literally crying laughing 😂

Very cool!!!! I enjoyed the video very much

GREAT VIDEO!! Your editing was fantastic & funny!! Very informative too. Thank you!

Love the ingenuity and your little helper. Tell the Mrs. She a lucky lady!! It is perfect. 💗

Love your video! Thank you for sharing this. I must say, the most adorable part was: "Thats just my baby dog". I had to replay that part again and LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!! Thanks again!

Fantastic job, and very funny video!

That was the coolest pool build I've ever watched!! 😎 Great job

Just absolutely beautiful!! Men that work with their hands are fantastic.❤️❤️

Looks awesome! Just added value to your property. That’s all you need to cool off on a hot summer day ☀️

Devotion and Tenacity! 😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That is the best oasis diy EVER! Tell your wife she did wonderful when she chose you!

Nice job... thanks for sharing!!

That pup made a good supervisor 🤣😂🤣

Love the choices of music

You killed it bro! Beautiful design! Absolutely love it!!

I'm sure you are amazed by the amount of water that evaporates on daily basis too. So sometimes draining to add more water isn't necessary. All and all, pretty damn cool!

Really good job. I especially appreciate your choice of pavers.

That puppy tho 😍😍😍😍😍❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Absolutely beautiful work!! ❣️

Today's my first day watching your video and I love the little clips that you put in between you can do it with all the little little old you know little clips from the shows got me laughing good job

GOOD JOB!!!!

This is the most enjoyable diy video I’ve ever watched! You’re wife is one very blessed woman! I’m glad to know there are men out there like you. It is perfect 👍🏻

Just LOVE the can-do attitude! Great video.

Wow, you ar so smart n creative to figure all the plumbing parts together to make the pump run right n safely. That's amazing. You gotta come n do my yard like that. So nice n so fun for your family.

Round point shovel is your friend. Great idea on that style stock tank. Your little assistant was the best.

The sense of humor in this video is unmatched 😂

Never knew Moving dirt was so entertaining 🤷🏼‍♀️ Who knew ?

That puppy 🐶 is so adorable 😍

fabulous !!!!! Great viedo too !!!

Like your little helper, did a great job lol

NICK! NICK! NICK! YOU ARE THE MAN!! Not sure how I stumbled across this video, but it's a good thing I did. What an exceptional production - both the video and the pool/patio area. I didn't see ANYONE helping you either - other than ole girl loading bags of sand on the wheelbarrow. Hell, but the time the video was over, I was exhausted just from watching you work so hard! I guess that's how you keep those abs so tight, huh? What a sweetheart you are, and you're easy on the eyes! Like you, I don't mind working in the yard because it's good exercise - PLUS, it allows some time to bond with nature. Keep up the good work, young man! I look forward to seeing more of your work, so I have liked and subscribed. THANKS! YOU ROCK!!!

Great job! We are doing something similar with a 9’x29” plastic stock tank. It should have uv inhibitors and last a really long time. Ours is already many years old (we got it free from a neighbor) and shows no signs of wear. Ours is built into a sloped yard so half the work. A cover (wood frame around foam) should do wonders for keeping it cleaner and the desired temp. I also added a couple other suggestions below, but great job nonetheless.

Wow, very cool, lots of hard work with a great result! Thank you for talking us on your journey!

You’re much more committed to rehandling that dirt than I. I’m a bit OCD about efficiency and instead of moving it all back and sifting through it, I would’ve put landscape fabric down and a pea gravel with stepping stones throughout and a creeping plant like chamomile to keep weeds from popping up. Love it! Great job, “and as always, enjoy!)…

Beautiful and fun..

Great video! Love the effects! And editing. Entertaining and fun and not long, drawn out 💩 like some are. It looks like you did your research and thought it through.👍👍👍🏝🏖😎

Beautiful retreat

You did a great job! I enjoyed seeing the progress from beginning to end it looks great!!

You did an awesome job! A few potted palms & you have your very own oasis😎🌴🌴!!

That turned out really nice!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Love it!!!! Good husband n a hardworking man

wow impressive! It would've been funny if after a few scenes of the puppy, you were laying the down the stone on another day and it was a full grown dog ;-)

Wow that is the best I love it and your video is super wow 🙏🥰

Watching this really made me happy. You did good and it looks beautiful!

WOW!! Amazing!! I may need to borrow you for a few weeks. Lolol. It’s beautiful!

I think you did amazing, it was truly a great deal of hard work. I hope it brings you happiness.

That is beautiful! Reminds me of the stone sidewalk I put into my old house’s yard.

Nice work

That pool is lovely, but oh, that husband! What a blessing, in every aspect😉😍

Absolutely impressive! Looks great!!

Damn, son!! You don't play! When you said a Stock Pool, I pictured one like I saw in Palestine, TX. It was a metal Stock Tank tossed out back of a house with a garden hose. Do you always go at stuff 💯 and then some?! You rock dude!

What a beautiful and functional addition to a backyard. I need to consider this in my future reno's. Great job!

I wish my husband would do stuff around the house like this or not even this elaborate but just basic stuff. It’s like pulling teeth with him I just end up doing it myself in the end ... always !!! Great job though! Your wife is a lucky lady keep it up and she’ll always be happy !!!! Happy Wife Happy Life !

Looks so good! We have a poly stock tank of this same model. I wanted to go in ground with it, but now I'm glad we didn't because it gets so much dirt in it just from the wind blowing. It's really hard to get the dirt out. I use a broom to sweep it into the filter pump intake. We have a vacuum and I use a tea towel inside the vacuum bag for better collection, but the dirt is so fine that it seeps right through. Either way, I love our stock tank pool so much, and it has been the best investment without the astronomical cost of electricity and chemicals that it takes to maintain a standard sized pool.

It is perfect!

Wow definitely a labor of love! Turned out beautiful!

Omg what an awesome job…. I wish I knew you!😄 Great commentary.

Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video. Been saying I want to do this for years. Awesome job, man!

Loved this video! ❤ Loved the references too!😂🤣

Really cute for kids, dogs… or grownups haha We have an 11k gallon pool… I bet the maintenance, chemicals, and water fill was a hell of a lot less. Also here in Louisiana the pool gets so hot! We have to freeze empty soda bottles and put about 20+ in the pool then refreeze for the next day. That small of a pool would make a mighty fine crawfish boil pot 🤣🤣🤣 Water would be at a rolling boil by noon 👍

No wonder you are buff! A lot of hard work and an amazing job.

Love all the details 💙 you did an outstanding job 🙏🏽

Glad I found this channel🤗🤗

That looks great. You did an amazing job. You guys have to be proud of yourself for doing that.

He can put a pool in for me anytime. What dedication and excellent workmen ship. Enjoy your Summer.👍👍👍

What a great idea! You did a fantastic job....I'd love one of those for my backyard!

Awesome do it yourself project..

Tulip/Daffodil bulb auger on a power drill makes digging holes so much easier.

I stumbled upon this video while searching ideas to build a koi pond in my backyard... but now I want to build one for myself as well! Thanks!
