🏝 INGROUND STOCK TANK POOL!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Our inground stock tank pool was born out of a need to have a place to quickly cool off and not be an eye sore. It’s simple to maintain and so refreshing!
We decided on a plastic stock tank for a number of reasons. It already had a drain plug hole that was easy to waterproof as an outlet to the pump. Bring fully underground made it more susceptible to rust if it were galvanized and since it was getting buried I wasn’t worried about not having that classic stock tank look you get from the metal ones.

Lucky woman! Having a husband that builds around the home is a blessing.
Lol it's true my husband is a jack of all trades 🤣 then he teaches me how to do stuff makes it sooooo much cheaper plus you get to say that YOU did that
My husband used to do all kinds of stuff like this. Then he became disabled and can’t do anything anymore. I need a handyman to finish out some projects. Des Moines NW suburbs. Must do finish carpentry work.
Amen! My husband was blessed with many blessing. I build him up but never over do it 🥹
How will you cover &
winterize it
FABULOUS video & editing
💯
Very nice…..a lot of hard work…enjoy !
I got to give respect for hand digging that monster hole. Geezus. Beautiful job on the whole project!
All that hard clay, geesh, he's a trooper and a keeper!! 👋🙂
Right? Mad respect. I figured he'd be renting a little backhoe for sure.
I dug a hole with a shovel for a koi pond (turned out to be the hottest day of the year) that was 5' wide x 8' long and 3' deep. He was lucky he didn't run into any huge rocks like I had to contend with.
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!
“This is my baby dog” 😊
I had to see if anybody else noticed the editing!! That first clip had me WEAK!!! "You keep diggin'!!!😡" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
*He should do an abs diy video lol*
The sense of humor in this video is unmatched 😂
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
😉 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 😎
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.
Great ideas.
Like your little helper, did a great job lol
I must say GOOD ON YA!!! Oh LOVE the dogs!!!
I think you made a really beautiful pool for your dogs.
😂 They love it!
I thought about doing sometime that for my dogs! 😂
It turned out pretty damn good! 👍🏽
Good spot to chill. 😎
I was going to say the same thing. A funny: everytime we pass by a body of water we say: couldn't keep Packer out of that. Man I miss that ol' boy!
@@kayeyeager8006 They (fur children) never leave your heart. In that way they are always with you. Lost my furry girl 10 years ago and I still cry for her. We had 13 wonderful years together.
@@BernWag It's hard, friend. But, it means you are a compassionate soul.
Wow that is the best I love it and your video is super wow 🙏🥰
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.
Does he have a twin?
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!
Best part was watching the dynamic between you and your wife!!!! Love to see happy flourishing couples! You did an amazing job.
She was in this video very little! Lol
You need an awning over the pool ,tiki torches, more lights! Great job, great abs👍😍
Thanks Melissa! Thought about the awning but didn’t want to restrict the sun
It’s the determination and dedication for me 🙌🏾 Great Job!
Love the choices of music
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 !
WOW!! The Koi were under ice or the bubbler prevented ice from forming?👋🙂
@@barbarapettry6817 I’am not exactly sure what or how it happened. And it seems unbelievable to me, considering some days were -13°. I think the air compressor kept them alive, although ice did form just not around the hole the bubbler kept open. Just this summer they have tripled in size. Next winter I plan on putting a stock tank heater in it to hopefully keep any ice from forming, and making life a little easier for them. I never saw them all winter until the ice melted in the spring.
@@circlethewagons That's why I was amazed it being New England and all - It sure knows how to get a little "chilly" there for sure!! I saw an article on nextdaykoi that had a bunch of ideas, however, it was referring to a pond and not a pool but they were dealing with extremely cold weather and their Koi. Maybe it will help. Have a Wonderful Rest of the Week!!!
👋🙂
I think they go into a hibernation state at the bottom of the pool and goldfish live in cooler water. I have 5 aquariums in varying sizes, but I have been watching Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy videos and now I want one too. Yours is a good option.
Hi, how much did the pavers cost? Can you replace the tank if it leaks or breaks?
I gave up digging way before you lol. I would have stopped and filled that hole real quick. Nice job.
That puppy 🐶 is so adorable 😍
Wow! Great job.
GREAT VIDEO!! Your editing was fantastic & funny!! Very informative too. Thank you!
Your hard work sure paid off in the end
Nice work !
I am glad I saw your video before I tried to plant my lemon tree. In SE Texas we have gumbo....hard clay.
This was first class DIY video. I just loved that music editing of that’s just my baby dog cute.
Very cool! Enjoy it you all!!
And the sweetest part was the cute lil puppy trying to help n play while you were hammering, lol
That puppy tho 😍😍😍😍😍❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Absolutely beautiful work!! ❣️
good grief what does it take in this life to find a handy man like this. Like pulling teeth. Great job !
Handyman service would be a cool job, maybe some day! Thanks!
@@nickbuildsthings :)
I love it! Can you come to NC. I'll pay
WOW!
I, agree with you.
Excellent!!!!
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!
My favorite part too 😊
@@nickbuildsthings the absolute cutest 🥰😍
Loved this video! ❤ Loved the references too!😂🤣
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.
Well done on that reusing!! 👋🙂
My question is putting that in did it lower or raise the value of your home? I know above ground pools lower the value
Fantastic job, and very funny video!
That “baby dog” earned a “subscribe”! 🐶💕
Just LOVE the can-do attitude! Great video.
Looks fantastic! Love the pavers,lights and location, and you guys nailed it!
Perfectly great 👍🏾
This is so perfect for my small yard. Thanks for the idea, Love this ❤️
Wow, very cool, lots of hard work with a great result! Thank you for talking us on your journey!
I know how extremely hard work all this was. Your amazing to do this for your family.
You did it for your dogs. What a man a mighty good man
Wish I had a husband like that, lol. Single life
@@jyes23. 😂
Love the ingenuity and your little helper. Tell the Mrs. She a lucky lady!!
It is perfect. 💗
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!
That was my hope that it could be a simple demolition if we decide to get rid of it and I think it would be.
Great stuff I love your project! But your baby dog is adorable 🥰 thanks for sharing 🤪
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.
I really enjoyed this video! You’re the funniest! A fantastic job! Continual Blessings
You killed it bro! Beautiful design! Absolutely love it!!
Love it!!!! Good husband n a hardworking man
Nice work
GOOD JOB!!!!
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.
What a compliment. Thanks!
Devotion and Tenacity! 😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fabulous!! you could watch movies, projecting them onto the shed!
Great idea!
Nice hard work. Love it.
That was the coolest pool build I've ever watched!! 😎 Great job
Very very nice! Your work turned out great, and I love your pups.
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..
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!!!
Thank you for all the kind words! The back yard is one of my favorite places in the world!
You did a great job! I enjoyed seeing the progress from beginning to end it looks great!!
Great job on the project! But also...loved the humor in your video production!
Watching this really made me happy. You did good and it looks beautiful!
Great ideas! Great job! Great body! Dang this DIY pool had some mighty fine landscape views
Really good job. I especially appreciate your choice of pavers.
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? 🕊️🏖️🍓
That is the best oasis diy EVER! Tell your wife she did wonderful when she chose you!
Great job. Man! That's some killer back breaking work
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 😂
😂 I love that movie.
Round point shovel is your friend.
Great idea on that style stock tank. Your little assistant was the best.
That pup made a good supervisor 🤣😂🤣
Super good video!
That turned out really nice!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Great job and great video.
Absolutely impressive! Looks great!!
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!
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 👍🏻
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Wow definitely a labor of love! Turned out beautiful!
WOW what amazing work!!!! Stunning result!!
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.👍👍👍🏝🏖😎
Nice work, Nick!
What a great project! Also the editing on this video is A1. Great job👍🏾
Awesome!! Never seen that before!
It may not be perfect but you have the Pride that you did it yourself. It looks Beautiful.
Thanks. It feels good to use knowing you sweat over it
Awesome do it yourself project..
I think you did amazing, it was truly a great deal of hard work. I hope it brings you happiness.
What a great video, I enjoyed it. Great job on your project!
That looks great. You did an amazing job. You guys have to be proud of yourself for doing that.
Great video and adorable puppy!! OMG, I LOVE HIM/HER!🐕❤
What a beautiful and functional addition to a backyard. I need to consider this in my future reno's. Great job!
No wonder you are buff! A lot of hard work and an amazing job.
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!)…
Just absolutely beautiful!! Men that work with their hands are fantastic.❤️❤️
Love the song choice 😅
What an awesome beautiful job
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!
Have you looked into that natural swim pond guy from England? The plants in those ponds are not only beautiful, but they reclaim the water. They use bubblers too. The shade in your yard might also help it not get so hot. Looks so relaxing. Another route for swimmers like myself might be the small continuous current pools. But the equipment for those seem kind of pricey.
@@KKIcons Oh ok.. thanks! I’ll have to check out some of his videos, then. We tend to lean more towards natural ways, to spruce up our landscape, especially in areas where we enjoy family and entertain guests. Despite all my positive efforts, I seem to be fighting a losing battle with 10 gigantanormous pines, towards the back of our property. Yes, they provide optimal shade and an abundant supply of burnable wood; however, that comes at a cost. Their roots run deep and the pine needles are many. No growth from anything substantial.
As for buying/creating a steady current within a pool.. you’re right, it can be quite pricey. I’ve always thought it would be neat to just have a “lazy river”, tbh.🤔 I think I’ll keep on dreamin’..
Very cool!!!!
I enjoyed the video very much
Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video. Been saying I want to do this for years. Awesome job, man!
Thanks!!
“Cannon Ball” ! …. Great project, excellent video production. Cheers.
