Even though the pond has only risen 4 inches it looks a lot more than that. Once you get all that brush burnt and get all the topsoil, clay and sand moved or leveled out that side of the pond is going to look great. It’s already looking a lot better.
@@davidepool5884 seems like it may have only risen 4 inches but it came up at least a foot around the shoreline. Can’t wait to have that area cleaned up with a nice stand of grass on it for some livestock. We’ll get there eventually
Glad you collaborated with LD18 and gave us a chance to keep watching as the lake develops. Funny how UA-cam algorithms know us better than we know ourselves. Never thought about duck boxes before and now wanting to build one. Keep posting. Thanks!
Amen thank you for the update... it may not be long but we're getting nice little glimpses of your progress and the water level in the pond.. keep up the good work and keep us updated as you can🤙😀😃😆😅😂🤣🤑💯🤙
If you mix some of that sand with the dredged topsoil you’ll grow grass better, maybe 5%. Good way to get rid of some of that sand too. I know mixing it will be tough though.
Pond is shaping up nice. Hopefully that couple inches of rain you got will charge the water table a bit and increase your flow rate. I watched that storm form and head your way... Was rooting for ya!
Wow! You should be immensely proud. Your vision is coming to fruition and the wildlife will surely flourish. Thank you very much for sharing your little slice of paradise.
You have been busy! Lots of production on grading and clean up, looking good! I would wait and let the grass completely fill in and get high before the first cut on the new growth.
You have been busy! Just takes time, right? You probably don't want to be doing major projects in the Winter. The stats on the water flow are incredible - glad for the springs (and rain) - it's 'free' water! HA!
@@GoBlue79 time, weather and winds that cooperate lol you’re right about that, its hard to start a project when its near freezing outside. Having the fire going was nice, got to warm up quick after dozing. No shortage of water here lol take care
Looking good there Brian. One third of a foot over about nine acres for easy math is three acre feet of water and that is a bunch. Few more of those this winter and it will be full by spring. The best part is that it is also being absorbed into the ground all over that drainage to recover from the drought you all had going on this year. That should help any grass growing next year when it warms up and let the place really green up a bunch. Cleaning up all those piles and leveling it all out now will let you plant in the spring and do a lot of good. You, sir, are putting a lot of value into that place so just keep inching along on the path and it should pay off well for you in the long run.
You should make the beaches before the waters fully up that way the sand goes out into the water far enough your feet's not ending up in the muddy bottom !
If you are just letting us keep track of the lake project, then you are doing a good job…thx! If, on the other hand you want to build a base of subscribers and keep us watching on a regular basis, I recommend that you treat the channel as more than a passing fancy or hobby. As with most endeavors, if you treat it as a hobby, it ends up costing you money (or you might get a little help paying for your hobby). If you treat it like a business, then it has a real shot at paying like a real business. No judgement, I see the bones of a decent channel here (with lots of content opportunity) but you need to give your videos more than casual consideration. That requires some investments in hardware and software (you were gifted a drone which was awesome) but mostly your investments are going to be time related ….to plan, record, and edit stuff like what you talked about. Then it means investing some more time into reading/liking comments …even answering some questions during the early days in the comments. When you have established critical mass such that answering specific questions is no longer realistic, you can incorporate “answers” in your narrative as you speak to your subscribers on camera. There are endless ways to create an emotional bond with subscribers. If building a channel isn’t a passion…then let us know that and keep your videos to the point that it serves you and/or allows you to flex a bit on your gorgeous pond and property. The lake is looking amazing!! 🎉
The old septic system I doubt would meet code for new construction. Seen people remodeling being forced to updated their septic system because the old one did not meet code, and under the the caveat of the law, remodeling permits required (additions, garage ) required electrical and plumbing brought up to code. So the get you one way or another.
@@BrushCommando it is North Carolina too, it is a nation wide, as the septic systems that are over 30 years old do not comply with the new design requirements and are consider obsolete and outdate, as the tank deteriorates and leaks, and can contaminate the ground water. Also in North Carolina the size of the septic system is related to the number of bedroom in the house and the size of the house, the tank capacity and the the tail pipe ( lateral line) length is related. It is all in the national code on septic systems. I watched a UA-cam video of a couple renovating a house not far from Ft. Liberty, in North Carolina and they was required to install a new septic system which did not make them happy. They thought they found the perfect home to flip and sell, but in the end the cost to replace the 40 year old septic system cost them enough that they just broke even when they sold the house. I am from Oklahoma, but currently in Europe, I watch a lot of renovation videos on UA-cam, and one of the biggest hidden cost is out dated obsolete and outdated septic systems, on the renovation jobs, especially when they go to add a room to the floor plan. Opening a building permit, opens up the structure to be brought up to code, which include electrical and Plumbing, which includes septic. One renovation video the house was on Septic and they was required to put the house on city sewer to be able to close the building permit.
@@BrushCommando it is and in some state they require the septic system to pass inspection when the house is sold. in both Massachusetts and Arizona require the septic to pass inspection, and if it fails to be brought up to date before it can be sold. Maine require all lake front properties to have a septic inspection and to pass, if failed to be replaced. Even some counties like Tacoma-Pierce County in Washington require a septic inspection before a house can be sold or transferred. Even the Lending institution are requiring a septic inspection before they will loan money on a pice of property that is on a septic system. The Technology in septic system have evolved greatly over the year, from the day when one could dig a pit and put a 250 gallon steel oil tank, as pour a concrete lid, in the ground and punch 2 holes in as my Grandfather did in the 1950's, install a small 25 gallon barrel and punch holes in it as the distribution box to feed the laterals, in which was in a trench 50 to 100 ft long with clay tiles and gravel, that in the hottest time of the summer required to be mowed, when all the rest of the Oklahoma lawn was brown and looked dead. Now they are closed off system with multi chamber tanks, and leach field that are isolated, to prevent ground and surface water contamination and to promote evaporation. Dirt perfect he installs septic systems and some he has has to add a clay lining under to protect the ground water and haul in lots of sand, and even the leach field is vented, toi prevent ground water flowing into to the leach field, they had to install a French drain to even keep the ground water out. The Health department treat sewage as one of the most toxic deadly waste there ever was on the face of the earth. You would think it was a some chemical waste from Love Canal or mining waste from Tar Creek. NC has a lot of resources on septic system on line from the NC state health department, and according to then a septic system only has a life of 20 to 40 years. The requirement on the setbacks and soils enough to drive one insane. As for the pond, I don't think it will be much longer and it will be full.
Hey just in case you didn't know?? There's a fire burning back there... okay cool you do know...... I'm the only one that would have a pawn in a piece of property that big and not know I had a fire on my own property🤙😀😃😆😅😂🤣🤑💯🤙
It'll be exciting when the minnow pond fills and the culvert pupe starts flowing
Can't wait for that!
Thanks for the lake progress update, Brian. Appreciate you showing us what you're doing with your wonderful plot of land.
Thanks, Vickie!
Looking better by the week.

@@hydraulic-hum and to think there’s still at least 3 more feet to go.

@@Will-No-Co good to know. The existing soil there is very sandy. The dredged material should help a lot.

@@davidmiller6010 thanks, rooting for it worked. Once the ground is all soaked in I bet the flow rate will be very high. Only a few more feet to go.
