Hey Chris, I really enjoy all the pond builds and the work that goes into them. I'm betting that many folks / regular viewers would really appreciate a revisit or a brief update of the deep pond you did behind a big barn, seeing it full and a walk-around would be awesome to see. You really don't get to fully appreciate until the final phase when a pond is full and everything around it is green and grown in. It's like the last part of the story being left out.

Chris does that when he gets permission to. The last mega large pond/lake he did with his Uncle John where they struggled with the swampy end he did go back and show us a year later. It was absolutely amazingly beautiful. Big enough to land an ultralight seaplane on and safely take off from.

You are a master at your trade Chris. Having followed you from day 1 at this site, it blows me away to see how it now looks. It was a total swampy mess, covered in trees and brush. Wow, how you’ve turned this place around. A job to be truly proud of. I bet the owner is blown away as well.
