👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌.
Thanks mate could do with you diy skills and help thou would make things easyer lol 😂 fancy a holiday at mine lol 😂
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123
I would love to get stuck into that , that's abit of me that 😃👍👍😉.
Good Job James. A second hand porta pool in your front garden whilst you've built your dream pond could work but will probably upset your wife and you got to keep the misses happy.
Keep old pond and make new pond top pond and flow into old pond and then it will be really big!
Have to say I like the pergola look. Maybe just cover during rainy season?
James your doin right thing no point building new pond if it's not bigger keep pond in same place but make it wider n longer good luck
Waddy was like this 40years ago , ,,,,,,,,,,bless,,,,,,,,,
keep going you will get there in the end stay safe and well
James I think you've chosen the right avenue with old pond rebuild and like you said keeps the shape of your garden and keeps that length also the way your conservatory/house gives you that protected visual perspective over pond. Also Sieve and RDF combi is the way forward saving on hand maintenance and filter wool 😉 ..
Loving the progress. U think it's a wise choice keeping the fish at home be a lot easier to look after them 👌👍
The video to night will explain 100%
Another cracking video, a thought would to knock the back wall out that has the fence on it and then build that wall as part of the pond. that would give you an extra couple of feet wide.
you should keep your fish and buy a swimming pool you have the space at the back put the osb board down and place pool on top then pump pond water to the pool and pipe the fitters . if you go the way you are fitting and keep two the fish will stress and you may lose them
I highly recommend you get a window for the side of the pond. Bit of extra faff and expensive but trust me it’s worth every penny. I have one on mine and it gives you a much better view of the fish. Plus they love it too, always having a look out.
Hey James. Have you thought of buying a stock tank as a temporary housing for your fish? This was you can keep them at your place and at the same time you can maintain them. It’ll save you time from having to build a temp tank at your mom’s place and when you are fully done with your bigger pond, you can just sell the stock tank. Happy days, and love the videos!
This way*
Brings back memories from when i built mine, have a go at digging 7ft deep, not any more. Enjoyed the video J. Keep them coming
Thanks 🙏
If you set up a temporary pond/swimming pool on other side of garden can you not leave you filters where they are and use flex pipe to the pumps. That way you still using same filters and water.
Great video and good work. It's a good decision to put you new pond in the same place, perfect spot. Build your temporary pond on the oposite side of your garden you could then transfer your filters and shower over and use the same pond water. This would allow you to keep all of your koi. Think positive its warming up now. I wouldn't put the temp pond at the front of your house its too accessible, keep it at the rear. You can do this you have enough wood and timber. Trust me it makes sense.
Good work but I'd do the new pond the full length of the garden from the conservatory to near the fence with the filter etc to the side of it at the top end of the garden.
For your broken Koi, you should Kintsugi it, Japanese art on a Japanese fish, could end up looking quite cool
Sunshine is so good for koi coloration and markings. I wonder that so many British people cover their koi ponds. Is it because you really get that much rain? Here in Arizona, I can hardly credit it!! I love it when I get good neutral rain water in my koi pond!
Its coming along spot on James keep up the grinding mate
Good luck with new pond James👍🏻
Omg that was a roller coaster of a video, bloody fantastic mate, especially the time lapse clips, greeeaaat video, it's worth buying a temp holding tank or pool to keep your beloved koi, I think you might regret selling the others or getting your local koi seller to house them, take it easy fella your doing too much .don't burn out on us.
Well done James brilliant video but watch your back mate, did the same thing as you a few years ago and suffered for it later.
The videos are great can't wait to see the finished job.
Thanks mate yea I get that but it’s the only way soon as I get it finished I will be resting lol 😂
Hey James I’d just make the old pond bigger it’s in good place mate
Keep up good work James. Definitely think plan B best option. Don't sell fish on you'll only regret it. Have you thought about making temp pond to side of current pond maybe move shed so more out way. Give you more room between to crack on. You proved can work in same space demolition while having pond in placw
Bloody hell James the excitement builds.....I really didn't expect you to say anything about moving your fish on.
I think its a wise decision to use the original pond footprint and still have a garden to have a bbq and a beer or three 👍🏼
Beer 🍺 ummmm
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 you deserve a few but save them for another time as you sir are busy 👌🏼
@@Tom_Prendiville yep I will I been flat out again this weekend and back out on the job 2 mo 😂👍🐇💪⛩💥
Good call plan b 👌
Had to be done mate will be needed some bits soon mate possible to have your number on my Facebook at some point give you a FaceTime or something 👍💪⛩
You have made a wise move going on the old pond footprint mate happy days
To right mate 👍💪⛩
Great video James, with regards to the rest of the demolition, locate the centre concrete block on the front elevation, grind the joints out and carefully remove. Thus you will be able to remove the rest one by one and with a hammer and bolster, remove the motar , and save yourself a few quid. On a secondary note, this method will ensure the structure will remain intact and has not been weakened by demolition with a sledgehammer. I start my pond build next week, Also in the same position as you with a smaller pond to extend.
Good thinking 🤔 there but then that tool I use is good fun 😂👍💪⛩
Looking forward at seeing the pond progress over the next few weeks. Why don’t you build temporary pond with straw bails and liner quick and easy
omg project on mate :) topjob
Nice to see you back Kev
Great video - I didn't realise it was so much - £150 p/w is crazy. Best of luck with it though - Looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
Hey james have you never heard off sandwichpanels? Ive build my pond with them and the nice thing about it is that the thickness of the panels is less then concrete blocks my walls are 10cms thick, its really easy to build with and your pond will be standing up in a day ready for a liner
Wow and the build keeps cracking on!
Gonna be so worth it when it’s finished!
Your gonna have a whole new yard by summer!!
Keep going!
Hell yea it is Tracy 💪👍⛩
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 you totally amaze me at how hard you work!
A full time job the cooking, kids cleaning that koi pond stuff & all the hauling away of the concrete!
Plus taking videos, editing & etc!
What’s your misses feeding you?
What’s the secret!!!
Hey janes I just had a thought!
To keep the koi warmer while your under construction 🚧 to keep the koi warmer on those colder days, would some plexiglass covering help?
Your poor koi the big orange girl looked so in happy!!
We need Warner days!!
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞😎😎😎
Un happy!
I can’t spell!
I ramble on too bloody much!
lol 😆
All them hours will be Worth it in the end james and deffo go for a drum Fillter it on my shopping list mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If I can mate bank loan or finance one
James - Why not lift and turn the Eric and Eric 2 through 180 degrees and pipe in through the conservatory window with a temp swim pool in half the conservatory - That way your fish would be safer than in front garden and you probably may be able to keep more than two 🤷♂️
Another great video,
I think that’s a better idea mate!!! Like you said I would move it away from the back fence abit too to allow for the pipe work and entend it width and length. That way it will defo be bigger and better then the existing!!! HHHappy times !!!
👍💪⛩🐇🐇🐇🐇💥
Take out the conservatory wall and bring the pond inside a bit. I’ve always fancied doing this myself but my garden wouldn’t work like that. You can look at your fish whilst your having dinner.
Awesome vid again James there must be some local people with koi ponds that can look after them for you cheeper than £150 be a shame to get rid of some.
Great video again james sad to hear your going to get rid of some of your fish but understand what you are saying its a tricky time of the year coming up
Yea deffo is but I got a idea
Good to hear mate your fish are a real envy I imagine they look so healthy all down to your hard work for sure
Banging james..... some times mate you just need to get the head down and crack on with it 👍🐟👌
To right get right on it
Nice one mate from Dorset koi keeper 👌👌👍👍👍
👍💪
You've done it the best way .extending of the old pond is maximizing pond and garden space. Youd have hated the blue spray printed version after a few months it would have been in way both visually and physically
Keep at it mate it will be all worth it at the end
Good work James an good thinking 👍
Good luck with the pond build, looking forward to seeing progress as about to start my pond in the next few weeks. Why don’t you build a pond from straw bails and liner quick and easy
Thinking 🤔
👍👍😗
Don't forget to put a window in James that's what I am doing when I build mine and by the looks of things mine will be about the size your doing yours. Happy days
Most likely 👍💪
Defo put window in 👍
Hi James yeah Plan B definitely
Just finished a holding tank for my fish last week (Borden-Koi)
All doing well now got to start on my upgrade to the old pond
Mondays video will show you what I have been up to mate happy days
Hi James love what your doing. Can’t you fit a temp pool pond in the back garden to house all the fish? Seems a shame to get shot of any. Hope you don’t mind me saying. Good luck pal
Love the vids mate get pissed off when they finish 😂 keep up the awesome content mate
😂😂😂 brilliant mate
Don't get rid of your fish mate...you will regret it. Those smaller fish like Tango will grow huge in your new pond and you will get so much satisfaction from doing that. Also if you let them go you can't guarantee they will get a good home...its like letting the pet shop sell your dog to a stranger. Either build a temporary pond at the farm or buy a holding pond for the farm and take your filters with the mature media and they will be fine..no need to separate the fish...I've done it twice in spring when moving and the fish were fine. Just make sure there is no muck in the filters. If you can't afford a holding pond ask if anyone on here has got one...you will get it cheap or even for free.
Looking good mate
Excellent update and the new pond is going to be mint. Just one thing, the little beard should go. Lol
Brilliant my boys said I couldn’t shave it untill the new pond is finished 😂😂😂
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 You better get your skates on then. Seriously though, I love the thought process you are sharing with us all.
Hi Jame, doing a grand job there best keep the koi at home can you not fit temporary pond to the right side area ?. Torii is the name of the Japanese arch going through from this mundane to sacred world i think . Invest in a spit shuvel help brake up the ground especially the founds. Keep cracking on 👍💪
Another amazing Video, one job, one hurdle at a time, wish I was nearer would love to give you a hand. Keep up the great content, ignore the haters. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks mate yea the haters can do one I would help anyone out don’t understand why some people put the thumbs down 👎 lol 😂 and they don’t even tell you why ? Crazy 😜
But yea would love the help
Look forward to your nee build remember when you did the last one! Personally I would house the koi at your place you got enough room in your garden and you can keep a better eye on them from home?
Mondays video will show you what’s up
How was that 'cup of tea'? Love the plan can wait to see how it turns out.
Should have stuck with the floating skimmer🤣🤣. It's getting there bud, just keep pushing on👍. Hopefully someone local can house the fish.
😂😂😂 love that 😂😂😂
It was all in the plan 😂😂😂😂
Hi James Love watching your videos mate but don’t you know someone with a pond lives local to you who could look after koi for you 👍
My Kio are just to big and with lock down in the uk it’s hard work
Spot on James. Great work.
Thanks mate
Good plan James, the right way to go. Your Sunday roast was just lacking @ bit if apple sauce or cranberry my other half says 😅
Yea I normally take me apple sauce out the freezer home-made stuff but had pond on the brain and left it in the freezer 😂😂😂
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 yes, we have ice cream tubs full of home produced apple mush, very disappointing when I think I’m opening ice cream! 😅
Hi James now you removed the roof should you put a net over pond because of heron just thinking ?
Good idea but I got the dog smd tbh we don’t get herons
James doin best thing leave koi at home you can look after them
Dont forget width of insulation and fibre glass as well as the width of the blocks mate... Your gunna need a bigger garden mate..😉🤔🤔 Your extending plan B idea sounds more like it will fit... Good luck...
I can make this work it’s on 👍💥⛩
Brilliant update James hope you can keep your fish housed in a temporary pond at your house, would be interested in a few of your artwork if it giving it away Prepared to pay postage for it 🙏🐟🙏 Stay safe
Ok when everything is done I will let you no 👍💪💥🔥
James don't part with Ur fish mate 😡
Get on the Fosters mate👍👍
Awesome video again pal, defo right decision on where pond going 👍 but i would extend it right up to wall then have filter house at side and move gate as far to end possible?
Keeping pond in same place thats the way to go dont let your fish go there as much the channel as you are
They are mate take a look at Mondays video this week
Great video as always mate. I will say, buy yourself a proper digging spade, don't try and do it all with a shovel. Trust me mate you won't regret it. Keep up the good work 👍
Mate I just make do with any tool lol 😂 but yea it would help 😂😂😂
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 talking from experience hear, as someone who's just dug a pond by hand. Buy proper tools at the start like I didn't 😂 Will save you time, money and alot of back pain in the long run 👍
Mate can’t you fit a make shift pond in the corner of your garden I reckon you could mate less stress on the fish and you 👍🏻
Sad days getting rid of your fish but needs must 👍
Not all of them I can’t lose them all
Top work 👍 it's gonna look the dogs... Are you going to put a window in the new pond?
What only one ?
Haha nice one 👍
Top job mate your getting there keep it up
Lift with your legs not your back. Lol. Man I wish I was your neighbor I would let you keep your fish there. Tell Mrs Whisperer that 1 of the Koi will be living it the bathtub. Lol. Im still hoping and prayer you dont have to let any of your fish go. 🙏🏻
Good idea that 😂😂😂
I don't now why you don't get yourself a cheap paddling pool? I housed 12 koi in a paddling pool for 7 months (July - February) whilst my new pond was built. I used my old filter and all my fish were fine.
Just buy a strong swimming pool and keep them at home
Or just build one I say it’s cheaper only need it untill new pond is built
At least with a strong pool use it and then sell it summer is just around the corner 👍💪😷🙏🇬🇧
James it seems such a shame to get rid of your fish, please try and find a way to keep them. Surely there would be someone who could help you. Maybe another koi keeper. What about building your pond higher to give you more volume of water. Just ideas. All the best.
I got a way Mondays video will be the one
How do we submit out new pond ideas to you James? I got a really nice one 👍
Was going to say that on a video soon but my Facebook or Instagram
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 what's your facebook James?
Gd video again mate but I think u need to change your koi dealer all the money u spent with him do u buy filters and equipment from him to if so he’s really taken the pi** out u James and a paddling pool going to be far easier boi if it safe for kids it will be safe for your koi plus u can still have them all with u plus u can use all your water u still have amd keep bacteria in the filters and when new pond done u swap water back over and have well mature media for new pond mate
Yea it’s a joke tbh
But he is the only one I got ?
Still take the piss tho boi I wouldn’t be buying nothing from him again mate if I lived closer I would have happy give u a hand as I’ve had so much time of work since COVID I rebuilt my pond June last year it’s now 16*8 feet and just over 4 feet deep two bottom drain to vortex two waterco muilticyclone units then 200 litres of baccie media in shower tower works a treat mate
And two pumps 15000 and 12000
Are you going to connect the two ponds
The old pond is coming down
Why not build a L shape pond in the corner then you could still put the pond along the back fence two bottom drains and jobs a fish
Build a temporary pond down on your mum's farm , keep all your koi.
Can’t you pick up a cheap vat or hire a vat to put all your fish in , the way your going it’ll only be for a few months , what you spend on a vat you’ll loose on ya koi
Mondays video will show you what I have done
You say your local koi dealer would buy your koi back off you. I know it’s a bit cheeky to ask but what would be trade prices for your fish? You could be better off selling to your subscribers.
Why at your parents farm? Put up a temporary pond in your own garden!
Better if it’s at home, you will be able to keep an eye on your fish and deal with any problems that might arise!
You will also be able to pump your pond water into the holding pond which will be much better for your fish!
I think it will be a big mistake that you will regret moving your fish off site!
Not watched all this vlog yet mate got my son with me the weekend,but have you ever thought about doing a L shape pond,just a thought,but must say your misses is not looking to impressed
£150.00 a week ??? F**king in hell !
Yea all the koi in there own tank and it’s koi season now so he is limited and thanks meaning I would be taking one well to much
No offense oh, but it looks like you've been making way too much extra work for yourself since the beginning. Slowwwwwww Downnnnnnnnn. Solidify a plan
Na mate you will see Nate it all has to go
Plz don't cell ur fish.they are part of your family.. rather host them at your mother's farm.happy days.
I got a idea Mondays video will explain
