Drought Busting Butt Pump 

David your work and attitude is inspiring! I've been bumbling and tinkering my way through life as well! Would love to see a quick video on your skimmer in the greenhouse pond. You showed it quickly and I am curious how it went together. Also I would love to know about the construction of your greenhouse. Keep up the great work. ~Chris Brodeur Maine USA

There is summat euphonious about the phrase 'Drought Busting Butt Pump.'

Can’t wait to build my own pond one day . Thanks for the video.

Considering the pool is at a lower elevation you might consider a Pythagorean syphon for the rain barrel.

Love your content thank you so much for sharing all that you do!!

Such a simple solution. Muck waterpump with a float switch in a rainbarrel. I'm going to copy that on our farm. I really want to catch more rainwater and bring it up our hills for a gravity fed water system.

Came for the title.😂😂🤣🤣 Stayed for the TOAD!

David, My wife and I just found your channel and subscribed after watching many vids. You provide great information and i especially like where you go into all the reasonable but relative finite details. I am planning a pool pond build next year and would like to see you do a vid on pond placement as it relates to its exposure to sun. ie- explain why we cant have too much shade or why its ok etc. I have one area which gets several hours a day of constant sun but this area is not the best locatioin for our preference. I have a second area which is somewhat situated like a pond/pool named "FRANK" and this are woud get intermittant sunlight due to its proimity to a tree line. I studied / paused one of your FRANK vids to see if their sunlight situation was like ours. In our second area we would get mid morning sun, then some mid afternoon. From my bet guess on the Frank vids, it appeared they get lots of shade in the mid afternoon onward until the next day. I was basing this on shadow lenghts and such as all the images were combined in that one vid. We would prefer to have our pond/pool in our more shady area since it could be situated directly off our side deck. If you already have answered this question, i am sure i will evenually come across it. If you have not addressed it, i am interested in the pro's and cons of highly shaded areas. Many plants dont like shade while otheres do. Ive learned so much from you so far and we thank you a lot. My wifed mentioned instead of plants,, why not use plants that provide food such as cranberry, rice maybe? can this regeneration area be tasked with the job of hydroponics? I also saw you and your daughters quick vid where you mention **NO FISH** in the pond. I was disappointed to hear this because we wanted to make use of this pool to stage and grow fish for food and / or add fish to enjoy them. Thank you and i hope you find time to read this and get back to us or do a vid on the topic. V/R J Scott Cassity, Gap Mills West Virginia

No climbing out of the pond at the end? Haha

Hey David I see you have some geese or duck there. I would love to have them in my pool but don't they add too much organic dirt ? Isnt it dangerous to swim there after? Thanks

This has been a major concern with building my pool. We're in a mega drought. Do your bubble pumps have an automatic shutoff if the water gets too low? Or do you just make sure the aeration stone is down toward the bottom?

What happend to the toad? ;-) Ah and could you post a link to the battery-powered pump you used? Thanks!

This dude is a train wreck. What a waste of time!
