.. my only friend, the end.
…uh, 13 months and 28 days wouldn’t solve the leap year problem. You’d still need one of those months to be 29 days long every 4 years (roughly).
That’s right. I think in the old calendar, they equated to two days of rest before April, which is where the new year starts.
Exactly hence the whole April fools thing because you would be a fool to believe there calendar if you actually lived with the seasons of the earth you would know when it starts again April @@offgridcurtisstone
Bentonite clay may take care of that leak. It’s often used in ponds.
Hogs work well too…in the pond. In the Ozarks… even bentonite did not seal our pond… and hogs… only worked while they resided in it.😳😔
No matter where you live in the world, any kind of precipitation (rain in California, snow in Alberta) always precipitates the response “We needed it”.
Good for you. You sound okay.
the Gregorian calendar is a mathematical marvel and it took centuries of trial and error and recalculation to get us where we are, 28 day months and 13 month years would throw the seasons radically out as the years went by, which is the problem that the ancient Egyptians had for millenia and did not know how to fix it
Is that you Greg?
yes, my name is Greg, international man of mystery @@turbostatic1
The trouble is that 365 is not divisible by 7, so you’re always going to need some way to account for the mismatch between weeks (or moons) and years. In the Chinese Lunar calendar, for example, they add a _leap month_ every three years.
well in new zealand the seasons are way out now days , but that more to do with cern than any thing else
People think it’s stupid because they don’t understand orbital mechanics and planetary movement
Ah ,you probably got a mild case of A.I.D.S. You should start to feel better by the 1st of April. 😅
A Very interesting future project. The attempt was interesting . Water is key.
Is this th me pond you filled with plastic polymers ?
Yes

Hi Curtis, how much clay do you think you’ll need and where do you plan to buy it from? Thank you !!!
Awesome project!your holding capacity will for sure carry you further into the summer months.
I just got back from Mexico and got the same thing.
4:20 ❤😂 360gallons per hour X hours pumped 12 run hours = 4320 Galons every 12 hours
Its leaking out the back of the dam cuz of the tree roots
it will be leaking throw the tree roots , nothing larger than grass on a dam , and if those trees have gone down into lose rubbal type rock , every time the wind blows they will move stopping the ground from going soild
On “CollinFurze channel he’s digging a tunnel/ bunker under his house and front driveway, etc.. He showed some cracks 12ft underground, inbetween rocks, where he could stick a whole broom stick down in the crack and it just kept going…. and he held paper in front of the crack and showed how there’s a breeze blowing into the tunnel from that crack… and that was down on the floor of the bunker/tunnel.. So who knows where it’s actually coming from. When you have stacked rocks like that, the cracks can go on for thousands of yards underground and there’s natural springs and underground aquafers, etc…………….. That’s what I was saying before, if all else fails— drain your top pond and you can line it with plastic like an oversized fish pond and it would be so much easier to manage after that. You can hide it pretty easy; stack some decretive rocks here and there to hold down the plastic or bury it into the bank, etc. Then you can add a layer of dirt or rocks over it and cultivate whatever bio/pond you want. Your own little fish bowl
Edit.. or just make it a lake apparently. 🙂
You might consider using a die to determine where the Leak is originating. It’s a fairly well known practice. Not sure how much it may cost. If you didn’t remove all organic material in the key way that could be the problem as well. Have really enjoyed your videos and congratulate you on the progress you’ ve made there.👍
13 months of 28 days would make 364 days. How would you account for the one missing day (in normal years) and two on leap years?
I worked on a 3 acre pond build. Wondering if you put a partial pond liner up against the dam side (or suspect leaking area) and then top dress that area with clay?
