🏝 INGROUND STOCK TANK POOL!
Vložit

- Our inground stock tank pool was born out of a need to have a place to quickly cool off and not be an eye sore. It’s simple to maintain and so refreshing!
We decided on a plastic stock tank for a number of reasons. It already had a drain plug hole that was easy to waterproof as an outlet to the pump. Bring fully underground made it more susceptible to rust if it were galvanized and since it was getting buried I wasn’t worried about not having that classic stock tank look you get from the metal ones.

Lucky woman! Having a husband that builds around the home is a blessing.
Lol it's true my husband is a jack of all trades 🤣 then he teaches me how to do stuff makes it sooooo much cheaper plus you get to say that YOU did that
My husband used to do all kinds of stuff like this. Then he became disabled and can’t do anything anymore. I need a handyman to finish out some projects. Des Moines NW suburbs. Must do finish carpentry work.
Amen! My husband was blessed with many blessing. I build him up but never over do it 🥹
How will you cover &
winterize it
FABULOUS video & editing
💯
Got to be one of the more entertaining DIY video I've ever seen. The music, editing, everything was just great. Continued blessing Nick to you and family. All good things!
“This is my baby dog” 😊
I had to see if anybody else noticed the editing!! That first clip had me WEAK!!! "You keep diggin'!!!😡" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
*He should do an abs diy video lol*
I got to give respect for hand digging that monster hole. Geezus. Beautiful job on the whole project!
All that hard clay, geesh, he's a trooper and a keeper!! 👋🙂
Right? Mad respect. I figured he'd be renting a little backhoe for sure.
I dug a hole with a shovel for a koi pond (turned out to be the hottest day of the year) that was 5' wide x 8' long and 3' deep. He was lucky he didn't run into any huge rocks like I had to contend with.
good grief what does it take in this life to find a handy man like this. Like pulling teeth. Great job !
Handyman service would be a cool job, maybe some day! Thanks!
@@nickbuildsthings :)
I love it! Can you come to NC. I'll pay
WOW!
I, agree with you.
Great job! Enjoyed the editing as well. We bought the 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tank from tractor supply right at the time when everyone was buying up all the pools. Found a small 300 gallon pool pump and it barely moved water. Removed the filter, removed the filter paper, cut out half of the plastic in the filter and wrapped it with reusable filter material. Works great now.
I used a 90° jet at the outlet side so water circulates around the pool and when not usung it, I put a pool cleaning net suspended in front of the jet and it automatically collects most floating debris as the water circulates. Nothing fancy but very enjoyable just the same.
Great ideas.
I think you made a really beautiful pool for your dogs.
😂 They love it!
I thought about doing sometime that for my dogs! 😂
It turned out pretty damn good! 👍🏽
Good spot to chill. 😎
I was going to say the same thing. A funny: everytime we pass by a body of water we say: couldn't keep Packer out of that. Man I miss that ol' boy!
@@kayeyeager8006 They (fur children) never leave your heart. In that way they are always with you. Lost my furry girl 10 years ago and I still cry for her. We had 13 wonderful years together.
@@BernWag It's hard, friend. But, it means you are a compassionate soul.
Super great job. The woman is sure blessed to have this man who diligently tries to make her and him a pool. Both of you, great team work.
Does he have a twin?
It’s the determination and dedication for me 🙌🏾 Great Job!
I bought the same exact blue plastic stock tank from a feed store before the pandemic, ( none available now ) hired my neighbor to deliver it, it's 8' across and 2' high and was told it holds 700 gallons of water. It's made by Behlen. The hardest part was getting it level, it's only half in the ground. I keep Koi in it and they are growing like weeds and actually survived the New England winter with just an air bubbler. What you did with yours is over the top. Great video !
WOW!! The Koi were under ice or the bubbler prevented ice from forming?👋🙂
@@barbarapettry6817 I’am not exactly sure what or how it happened. And it seems unbelievable to me, considering some days were -13°. I think the air compressor kept them alive, although ice did form just not around the hole the bubbler kept open. Just this summer they have tripled in size. Next winter I plan on putting a stock tank heater in it to hopefully keep any ice from forming, and making life a little easier for them. I never saw them all winter until the ice melted in the spring.
@@circlethewagons That's why I was amazed it being New England and all - It sure knows how to get a little "chilly" there for sure!! I saw an article on nextdaykoi that had a bunch of ideas, however, it was referring to a pond and not a pool but they were dealing with extremely cold weather and their Koi. Maybe it will help. Have a Wonderful Rest of the Week!!!
👋🙂
I think they go into a hibernation state at the bottom of the pool and goldfish live in cooler water. I have 5 aquariums in varying sizes, but I have been watching Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy videos and now I want one too. Yours is a good option.
Hi, how much did the pavers cost? Can you replace the tank if it leaks or breaks?
My husband did something similar. We bought a round 4' deep 16ft diameter above ground and put it in the ground. We rented a small back hoe to dig out the hole. We bought a regular pool pump and filter used for in ground pools, not the crappy ones that come with above ground pools. Like in this video made it all very nice. Spent a total of about 5k on everything. Kids swam in it for about 4 years until they lost interest. When we took it out, was interesting to see that non of the metal supports had even rusted at all. Most people had no idea it was an above ground pool put in ground. We put it in ourselves with the help of husband's bro and 2 hired teens. 4 years later we took it out ourselves filled in the hole with a truck load of purchased dirt and viola, looks like it was never there!
That was my hope that it could be a simple demolition if we decide to get rid of it and I think it would be.
Best part was watching the dynamic between you and your wife!!!! Love to see happy flourishing couples! You did an amazing job.
She was in this video very little! Lol
That “baby dog” earned a “subscribe”! 🐶💕
I have had a blue stock tank pool for years. We had a hillside that we terraced for gardens, and set the tank in the lower level. We initially used it as a swimming pool for our black cocker spaniel, who got very hot in the summer and often swam in the pool. Later I used it as a fish pond. Recently I have 2 grandsons and we converted it back to a pool for them.
Well done on that reusing!! 👋🙂
My question is putting that in did it lower or raise the value of your home? I know above ground pools lower the value
Nice work !
The sense of humor in this video is unmatched 😂
Nothing like having a man that's not only loving but super handy and creative. Kind of like having a real life super hero! Excellent job!
Nice work
Looks fantastic! Love the pavers,lights and location, and you guys nailed it!
😉 great job. I wish it was the good old days in the '90s, where your buddies come over and you provide beer and food on the grill and good music and we get it done 😎
Wow, very cool, lots of hard work with a great result! Thank you for talking us on your journey!
I know how extremely hard work all this was. Your amazing to do this for your family.
You did it for your dogs. What a man a mighty good man
Wish I had a husband like that, lol. Single life

Round point shovel is your friend.
Great idea on that style stock tank. Your little assistant was the best.
Beautiful pool. Good job! 👀 💧💦🕳🌹🪴
Love all the details 💙 you did an outstanding job 🙏🏽
Really good job. I especially appreciate your choice of pavers.
I love it! Nice little oasis. It’s just right and easy to maintain. The puppy is precious.
Easy maintenance was high on my list when planning this ordeal.
Looks so cute. Love it. You did an awesome job.
That looks great. You did an amazing job. You guys have to be proud of yourself for doing that.

Great video and adorable puppy!! OMG, I LOVE HIM/HER!🐕❤
That pup made a good supervisor 🤣😂🤣
Nice job and a fun video to watch! Thanks for all the effort you put into this.
Wow, you ar so smart n creative to figure all the plumbing parts together to make the pump run right n safely. That's amazing. You gotta come n do my yard like that. So nice n so fun for your family.
This was first class DIY video. I just loved that music editing of that’s just my baby dog cute.
Love your video! Thank you for sharing this. I must say, the most adorable part was: "Thats just my baby dog". I had to replay that part again and LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!! Thanks again!
My favorite part too 😊
@@nickbuildsthings the absolute cutest 🥰😍
You’re much more committed to rehandling that dirt than I. I’m a bit OCD about efficiency and instead of moving it all back and sifting through it, I would’ve put landscape fabric down and a pea gravel with stepping stones throughout and a creeping plant like chamomile to keep weeds from popping up. Love it! Great job, “and as always, enjoy!)…
Looks AWESOME. I'm so PROUD of you.
Love 💕 looks beautiful thx for the movie insert clips that was hilarious!
Oh my goodness my husband did this about 15 years ago and we loved it.we never put it in ground although and he bought a pump for a hundred dollars that went to an in ground pool that made the water bubble like crazy. We spent many hours enjoying it till we moved about six years ago from Florida to Georgia..
Wow! I like this idea a lot! We had a catastrophic sign from God that we weren’t supposed to have an above ground, after a tree branch from one of our pines fell straight down the middle of it, this past winter. We did fix it temporarily for Summer; however, the effort and work involved to repeatedly put a band-aid over the damaged areas.. let’s just say, it wasn’t a permanent fix. With little to no affordable option, for a replacement that doesn’t involve selling one of your kidneys for shipping, we’ve been looking to do something like this, as well. I, myself, prefer to “Do It Myself”, as opposed to paying someone to come out and do the same thing. This certainly appears to be something I could do, as I enjoy jumping in there and getting my hands dirty.
Thanks for the inspiration and spark to get this project kicked off!
Have you looked into that natural swim pond guy from England? The plants in those ponds are not only beautiful, but they reclaim the water. They use bubblers too. The shade in your yard might also help it not get so hot. Looks so relaxing. Another route for swimmers like myself might be the small continuous current pools. But the equipment for those seem kind of pricey.
@@KKIcons Oh ok.. thanks! I’ll have to check out some of his videos, then. We tend to lean more towards natural ways, to spruce up our landscape, especially in areas where we enjoy family and entertain guests. Despite all my positive efforts, I seem to be fighting a losing battle with 10 gigantanormous pines, towards the back of our property. Yes, they provide optimal shade and an abundant supply of burnable wood; however, that comes at a cost. Their roots run deep and the pine needles are many. No growth from anything substantial.
As for buying/creating a steady current within a pool.. you’re right, it can be quite pricey. I’ve always thought it would be neat to just have a “lazy river”, tbh.🤔 I think I’ll keep on dreamin’..
Beautiful!!!! Great job
Love all of this! But your dog watching you mow the lawn is adorable. 🥰
Looks awesome! Just added value to your property. That’s all you need to cool off on a hot summer day ☀️
Oh my, this came out amazing!!!
Thanks!
Great job! You nailed it like a pro!!!
Great share! We love these type of videos!
I forgot what I came to my computer for after stumbling upon your video! I watched and enjoyed even though I can only dream of having such a project! The entertainment and instruction was outstanding. The pool and landscaping...beautiful. End result... peaceful oasis.
What a compliment. Thanks!
Instead of wasting water, to cool it down, just freeze water in gallon jugs, then add a few to cool it down.
Works great in hydro setups...
Great stuff I love your project! But your baby dog is adorable 🥰 thanks for sharing 🤪
Great job on the project! But also...loved the humor in your video production!
Great job!
We are doing something similar with a 9’x29” plastic stock tank. It should have uv inhibitors and last a really long time. Ours is already many years old (we got it free from a neighbor) and shows no signs of wear. Ours is built into a sloped yard so half the work.
A cover (wood frame around foam) should do wonders for keeping it cleaner and the desired temp.
I also added a couple other suggestions below, but great job nonetheless.
Looks so good! We have a poly stock tank of this same model. I wanted to go in ground with it, but now I'm glad we didn't because it gets so much dirt in it just from the wind blowing. It's really hard to get the dirt out. I use a broom to sweep it into the filter pump intake. We have a vacuum and I use a tea towel inside the vacuum bag for better collection, but the dirt is so fine that it seeps right through. Either way, I love our stock tank pool so much, and it has been the best investment without the astronomical cost of electricity and chemicals that it takes to maintain a standard sized pool.
I have the same problem with the sand! I found if you use a knee high stocking in the vacuum it catches all that fine sand. I just slip it in the catch bag and and flip it over the hole and attach it back. I just got one of the cheap vacuums that the water hose attaches to, works great.
What a great video, I enjoyed it. Great job on your project!
Brilliant idea an execution!! Just loved it and the puppy an doggo✌🏼💗😊❣️
Looks like we both had the same idea around the same time. Congrats on completely finishing yours this year 😄 it looks good 👍
Plastic stock tank pools unite! Thanks!
You made it look so easy! Great job too! Since we're already almost half way in July, this will be my late winter early spring project for next year, if we are fortunate enough to have a spring in South Carolina!
Hot, ain't it!? It sure is in NC!!
👋🙂
You did an awesome job! A few potted palms & you have your very own oasis😎🌴🌴!!
That's nice!!! I want one. Beautifully done.
What a great idea! You did a fantastic job....I'd love one of those for my backyard!
wow impressive! It would've been funny if after a few scenes of the puppy, you were laying the down the stone on another day and it was a full grown dog ;-)
Lol
Spectacular.....job!!!!!!!
What a wonderfully thoughtful and beautiful thing to do..I hope that you all just enjoy that lil oasis....way 😎
It may not be perfect but you have the Pride that you did it yourself. It looks Beautiful.
Thanks. It feels good to use knowing you sweat over it
