    It is so great that your parents get so involved with you and your projects. My Mom passed 11 years ago, and I remember how much fun we used to have doing things together. I am blessed to still have my Father with me.

      I've got a couple of these pools for my ducks now - unmodified save for putting ramps both in and out which are incredibly important if you raise your own birds (some birds, especially babies, can't get out otherwise), and they do need to be cleaned regularly. I would highly recommend draining the pool some distance from the pool as it'll have a big impact on the environment by the pool otherwise. Even so, I've considered planting filter plants like cat tails and reeds to soak up the water and clean up the resulting muck a bit.
      Second, you may also want a way to fill the pool without standing next to a running hose. There's a running joke in the people-with-livestock world of "did you leave the hose on?" and for a very good reason! I've solved this for my horse troughs by putting in a float valve on a supply line (mine's not frostproof yet so it's warm-season only) - this is a $15 part that clamps on the side of the container and simply keeps the water level at the top. I can't recommend these enough!
      Lastly, you'll need to clean these smaller pools regularly as they'll get algae, dirt, and gross things building up in them otherwise. Ducks need standing water to clean filter membranes in their faces, and this means they'll foul up the water incredibly fast. If you have a big enough pond for them, most of this sinks to the bottom and you might not notice it for a while, but in smaller pools like these the water can get nasty in a single day. A long-handled scrub brush works for now.
      Last thing is make sure you put your pools where you can see them from the house - enjoy your splashing ducks!

    Love the tone of your videos. I can see how it comes from your mother and family. Great that she helps and just learns on the go. Love that! Guess that you have got your lovely spirit and mindset from your family and folks. Good that you (both) share it with us. I have allways liked your happy confidence to tackle each project and belive in your self doing whatever you decide to do. It is admirable and inspiring to me! Thanks to you and your mother!

    Delightful project. My lady and I were just talking about getting a kiddie pool for our Shepard mix. He's destroying the yard, making cool spots, but won't join us in the big pool... If he'll use the kiddie pool I'm getting him, tomorrow, I'll build him the whole shebang!

    Absolutely loved this video, my pup & I decided to watch on my phone in the car while we waited for my hubby at blood bank, I cried a lot. You and your mum have fun working together like my mum & I used to bake & craft together. I lost my mum 2 weeks ago and I wish I had videos of our time together creating. You forget the little things in the busyness of life as you get older and I’m very grateful for all the things we shared and laughs we had. 💖 your mum and her awesomeness to get in and get it done with you #MakersGonnaMake

  • @lasmith07
    @lasmith07 Před 5 lety

    I just finished making my own yesterday. I did slightly modify the ramp to accommodate my handi-capable duck and rest of my flock (short stairs into platform vs ramp to platform).
    It's perfect. If you add ducks to your chicken flock in the future this design is everything they need. Duck eggs are delicious!

    That's a great project, April. If I still had a Labrador Retriever, it would be a must have. It's also great to see your mom involved in the shop. Maybe do a "Bring Mom and Dad into the shop" show once in a while to work on more projects together. Us old farts really enjoy getting out and having someone to play with. Keeps our coats shiny. Oh wait, that's the dogs. Hmmm... Maybe.
