Gosh your son is all grown up now! Nice filming as always. The clear tarpauline has really helped me so far. In winter I will put the cover across the front again but tonight pond is at 17! It's mad.
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 yeah hopefully it will be a mild one again. Although I have a funny feeling it's going to drop and be a colder one than last year.
Great video mate! Had 3 fish from Jack, (Balding Reefer) delivered today! Out of this world! People just need a little patience (and be kind!!), as his new business side has just exploded at a rate he wasn't expecting and he's working flat out to try and keep up with it all. If you have to wait a bit, it's well worth the wait! Looking forward to seeing what you're getting from him 😉
Fish lookin' good 👍🏻 Those fake plants look great so yes, look in to getting some real ones in the new year ☺️ I can't believe how much Toby has grown and doing a great job..... he's good with his lube!!! Get him some charcoal tablets for that wind!! 😂😂
Hi James. Good to see you looking so much more relaxed this week. You have got the pond looking lovely, I thought you couldn't improve on perfection but adding a bit colour has made it look amazing. As with the Nessie, I personally wouldn't put her through the stress of getting her out again, from what I could see the skin has healed so what you can see is mainly bruising and that will heal itself. As for your Chagoi, I would keep a close eye on that mark because you could end up with a dead scale which will need removing but again that is further down the road. I hope you have treated Mrs Koi Whisperer 🌹 Have a good week.
Well, it was under £20 for you to see what it's like. I really think it's great....but if it doesn't stand up then, if you like it you can spend a bit more. Looks fantastic through the conservatory window! ☺️
The plants look great in those showers! When I made a make shift bakki, I put water cress seed in them and it made a huge difference to the water but then again, my water wasn't as regulated as yours either though 🤣. Pond looks brilliant 👍🏻.
I bought a real heavy duty clear tarpaulin a few years ago to do exactly the same as you and I noticed a big difference in my winter temps. I ordered mine with eyelets every 14 inches and bought a load of small bungee cords with a ball on the end to enable it to flex a bit. Lasted 2 years before I changed my pond. Just wish I could remember where I got it from as it never split or tore. Typed this as I was watching. 😂 Where have you found this heavy duty one on line?
All looking great James, especially the koi. Glad all appears better. 👍🏼 Great work by your son mate, and I think the Tarp is a great quick and cheap option that should make a good difference. It’s either that or several thousand £’s for a set of custom made bi-fold doors/windows…. 😂
I love those showers , but have you ever thought about retro fitting them with strips of LEDs ? Don’t even know if it’s possible but if you think of these things you will never know
Ey up James , the PSb Bacto is bloody good stuff , I’ve had a nightmare when my filter crashed due to Chlorine or maybe chloromine, wiped it out , I’ve been battling for weeks to get it going again , got some PSB bacto and it’s worked brilliantly ammonia spike went fast and nitrite is nearly there in 5 days , use as a regular weekly usage , keep it in the natural light and when using it give it a really good shake 😊
Make sure you quarantine and treat this new koi coming in or your going to have the same issues all over again. Or just treat the whole pond when you get it..
Hi James , regarding teeing off before the tap to feed your trickle in , I think you will need to fit a double check valve to stop any chance of back feed should the water ever go off , the outside tap that you have in the filter house already has one fitted hence the loud fart when the air escaped. Looking fantastic , you’ve certainly given me pond envy, take care and keep it up
can’t image how much each piece of pvc/fitting/ball values cost??? Its insane!!!Idk? If you’re DIY-lol- 100% professional Not sure but in the USA, My rebuild & bottom drain-addition is turning into a nightmare details like your filter house/plumbing/I’m invested in-& alone already nearly $40,000.00 🇺🇸..dollar plumbing/filtration/rainwater/to bay window foundation tied in + your filter house is honestly one of the best designs I’ve ever seen-beautiful-Well done!! “Thank ur mother for the rabbits 🐇 “ BossHawk
BTW, I would paint those other doors black......watching this video they stand out and don't match the wonderful black and red. (My opinion obviously 😉) xxx
Check Tobe Out... the Whispers Lads on the tools 🔧 happy days. When the boy becomes a Man👍 Well done Lads n good update let's hope we get this Indian summer 🤞
I’m heating to 18 degrees and no covers… to much hassle covering personally… been there done all that temporary covering nonsense for no reason 🤷🏼♂️👍🏻
James some good ideas 💡 bud 👍. 💡Electic roller shutters if you can do it. Not. Cheap! Get some stone and lift your showers before winter comes and rise it up 😆. I keep saying I'm coming to drink some cider. Soon bud ok 👍 I not got fb either.
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 love yours video lahh inspires me to do better with me own pond new ideas 💡 glad to see you still got the metal koi I sent ye ages ago still going strong ye 😀 is right ✅️
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 no problem mate glad to see it still going 👍 would look better the outline painted black 💯% maybe in a future video you could give it the magic touch make it look even better 😀 😉
If you do decide to go with the bespoke tarp idea, i wouldn't go with anyone offering this for ponds, the prices will be artificially inflated. As you know yourself James anything that has pond or Koi attached to its description is always more expensive. I would look at Specialised Canvas Services (no connection to the company other than several friends being happy with their products and customer service) They are based in Derbyshire but i'm sure they'll ship if asked. They won't be cheap but their products are built like tanks.
I would treath again if an experience one tells me. I understand u and i would have the same. But experience with medicine is like 60% of a good effect. But dont listen to me Those fish are much to expencive
As stupid as it sounds but if u where to get a gazebo with the sides to the size of the canopy of the pond and drape it down over the whole pond and basically hotbox the pond
Proper job 😂 no leaks we done good
That’s my boy well done son
Well done toby!
Another Cracking Video James. I must say those Artificial Plants Look Brill 👍👍👍
They look cool don’t they
Gosh your son is all grown up now! Nice filming as always.

@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection I hope not but we are well due a cold one
New greenery looks the hammer 👍
Hay you ordered the plants 😉 Looking bang on 👍🏼 Fair play to young Tobe. Catch you soon.
Yea mate too job see thanks for the link

Great video, love the humour, great job by your son.
Have you thought of the bamboo type roll up blinds. Wouldn't block all the wind but think it would accent your design and colors nicely
We have been covering our ponds with tarpaulin for a few years, we find it works really well.👍
That front cover idea is absolutely spot on james.....
Fish lookin' good 👍🏻
Those fake plants look great so yes, look in to getting some real ones in the new year ☺️

Hi James great vid like the look of the shower nice bit of colour
That tarp looks good 🤞🏻 that it can stand up to wind etc. Smart idea mate ☺️

Your son did a cracking Job 👏🏿.

Hi, James, your pond looks fantastic your fish look superb, nice to see your boy learning a trade good luck to him
Thanks yea proud of him tbh

Nise the plants in the shower. The idee of the curtain is also nice

Another great video Mr W,
Looks great 👍🏻 Strong wind will tell you but for £20 quid, happy day's!
Yes that’s it only £20 worth a go init
James paint the pond door red . Will look smart 👌
Psb is amazing stuff mate I use it at the farm all the time, daily dose it for 7 days mate and you’ll see a good difference, top tips as always mate!
You see your shout out at the end of this video
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 i did mate, big love for that! i thought i had said thank you in the comments section above
it was great to see you having a bit of banter with ya lad.. You cant beat it, farther and son. Hes a good lad, he will do well 👍
Yes to right mate
Great job, idea you could fit a curtain rail or shower rail around top then fit sheet to that, be easier for putting up
Yea definitely
Nice video again. Kind son.! And u talking about fight weight.. Haha 😎😎
😂😂😂
Nice one Lads, back on track.
Make sure you quarantine and treat this new koi coming in or your going to have the same issues all over again. Or just treat the whole pond when you get it..
Proper job Tobe 👍 Great update Mr Whisperer , good luck with your rubbers 😀
😂😂
