3.5 Day Pond Build Is Done!

www.letsdig18.... for shirts and more

[@ronaldheit196]

I swear, if Chris could spread frosting on a 3 tier cake with that bucket and have it come out baby butt smooth. Definitely a top notch pro he is.

[@Bazza1973ify]

This was one of those jobs that, when you started, I couldn't get my head around how it was supposed to look & how it was going to work when it was finished, now it's done it was pretty obvious from the start, I just couldn't see it. It looks good Chris well done, great job 👍

[@timgiven3826]

Awesome job, pond looks great chris. Professional job, that's why people call on your company because of how well everything looks when done

[@RKHarm24]

Yes Sir it does. Probably the #1 reason I watch Letsdig18, his professionalism and attention to details.

[@timgiven3826]

Hopefully one day I would be able to operate machinery like that

[@raywilson800]

I'll make it u nana moose. I think the new guy is doing a great job too!

[@OppoOppo-xg6kj]

ๆฟฟๆ

[@pettyfogger2305]

Mr. Chris, you ALWAYS do great work but you took some beautiful topography and turned it into a landscape work of art. I hope you can revisit this place and the watershed behind your empoundment as I can only iagine how this will all mature. Bravo!!!

[@jayschafer1760]

I don't operate heavy machinery, but seeing Chris' friend operate the Volvo in this video and the last one really put Chris' skills into perspective... His friend was surprisingly good for someone who isn't used to the equipment, but Chris is just amazing, with much less wasted time and motion.

[@stephenridder6193]

he is smooth and not rough on the machine. Although not fast he isn't slow either, and most importantly at the end of the day there isn't 1000's of damage. edit. And is is certainly a better operator than I!

[@Tiffy552]

Must be great to be able to call on friends with that ability to help out.

[@FSEAirboss]

@@stephenridder6193 definitely knew what he was doing, and was taking care of the machinery. Ace in my book.

[@kristenpetillon5671]

It seems very wise to run the machine a bit slower knowing that it produces way more than the skid steer can move. I m curious to know if it runs in Eco mode. Just on a funny side, my 3 years old asks now to see Chris on TV. Chris you are (almost) the only videos he sees.,. ;)

[@terrymcgillicuddy8056]

Making every move count. Time is money 💰

[@saltriverorchards4190]

Thank you for the drone footage! Now that you have a drone some before and after shots of the sites would be super cool. Nice work as always!

[@mickbaker2483]

Hi Chris you should be really proud of yourself you mead a absolutely fantastic job on this pond it looks great.

[@brettchristinaadams8112]

Never thought of ponds as having character until seeing this pond. Most ponds same shape and boring, but this one with all the little coves and unique shore line...full of character. Great work.

[@chetthejet3896]

Just what I was thinking. Chris is very artistic. Looks great, job well done.

[@franz357]

I so much agree with you !!!

[@2dronetek2]

Yeah, the plain circle ones are a dime a dozen but this one is very cool.

[@lawrenceaderneck7165]

the opportunity to create , just move around a couple million pounds

[@bobferranti5222]

Chris, you're like a surgeon and a sculptor with that smooth bucket. It's always impressive to see the finished pond when you get done.

[@evilbrat5376]

The pond came out outstandingly - the new guy was/is a big help to you on both the skid and the Volvo. He getting used to the Volvo now. Change up from the Cat I would say... Would like to see this one when it is in bloom w/grass & water cleared up. Nice location the owner has for his self and the pond.

[@mcoppock214]

It looks good, as you say. Very nice. Great work.

[@kirk467]

I just went through hurricane Laura and this past weekend I went through hurricane Delta! I’ll be praying for y’all my brother! Stay safe up there! Awesome Job Chris! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kat2641]

👍. ♥️. 🤗. 🏖️. 🍔. 🍻 A picture is worth a thousand words an 6 emotions tell a story..but y'all done a beautiful excellent job!! She's going to be one beautiful pond when she clears up and fills to the top....

[@simon2428]

For me this is one of the best pond jobs to date, a stunning transformation and the use of the land to create its size and shape.

[@SiddVic1]

Can see why you are pleased with the result you have made happen here Chris. Seeing those few scoops of dirt thrown into the creek and now the pressure was on to make it happen was pretty cool. Not sure how many hours you have in your day, but has to be more than the 24 in mine lol. Look forward to seeing the garbage cap go on and the water all clear. Til the next project... best wishes from Newfoundland

[@Shane19776.]

I like to see the finished results it looks great.

[@garydillon3960]

Chris, You have mastered it again. From a weed and snake den to something that is amazing to see. Congratulations. God Bless and Good Health.

[@derrillbalshaw1199]

Those before and after shots at 48:38 and 48:43 puts it into perspective just how much dirt Chris moves in such a short time. But also show he has an eye for the finishing touches. Even though the pond has only just been strawed and seeded, you can see what the finish look is going to be.

[@patriciabockenstette6550]

Looking good. Great job. You should be pleased. Thanks for sharing.

[@odonnellsaussiehomestead8257]

Chris , Magic job my friend .🥰👍

[@george8873]

Turned out great. That corner that will jut out into the pond by the spillway when the pond is completely full would be a great spot to put a gazebo.

[@lloydholt6511]

Nice little pond. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@kirk467]

That’s so beautiful now, Pond Master! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bige9055]

Awesome job on the pond, looks great.

[@genefoust5569]

You are one of the best pond builders I have ever witnessed great job Chris

[@lindajoyce1808]

Like this pond design,soft and gentle curves

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Very nicely done. You wouldn't have thought it would look like that from the first video.

[@Todd.Roberts]

Would love to see it with the grass fully grown and the pond full . I bet it would look nice

[@bobvernon8925]

Beautiful job that, it blends in so well with the surroundings that it look's like its always been there, I love skill like that......

[@Mapantz1]

Such a great job! That will look awesome by next Summer with all the grass up and everything settled in.

[@dustybellamy5670]

I like how you don't bitch an complain to your guys on how they do it don't do things . It's nice to see that not a lot of bosses can hold back from telling others how it needs to be done or complain about their work . Great job on the thought of videos an thanks for letting us watch what you do. It's calming to me I love to watch someone good operate machines .

[@leol1682]

Thanks for videos on this pond, you done a great job .

[@matteogomez3678]

WOWee. Good job 👍 You and your adequate helper made perfect time on that DAM job, genuine sweetness going on there 🍻

[@bobfromtheband1]

Absolutely beautiful, well done letsdig18 for a perfect job.

[@mischef18]

Will look real purdy in a month with all the grass through and the water clear. Sure made a big difference from where you started bro. Enjoyed all the videos from this project. Y'all stay safe

[@ringstinga]

Reminds me of Amen corner at Augusta, Very nice work Chris .

[@grahamallen3941]

Another great pond project Chris done to perfection. That looked really nice when you finished it. The house owner has got to be really pleased with the results, I know I would.!! Take care and be safe, look forward to your next project! Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧 🐞

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Chris, Awesome job on the pond sir. That quick shot before the drone started where your Volvo was sitting in front of allot of dirt and grass really showed how much dirt you and your helper moved. That was quite an undertaking for just 3.5 days. I bet that overflow is going to get a workout this week with all the rain coming. Take care and be safe out there.

[@michaelkoop6731]

Awesome job. Great looking pond and hella fast job. And looks so nice compared to the disaster when u started.

[@davidmays5231]

Superb job on the pond Chris.

[@1244taylor]

awesome looking pond for sure.. great job.

[@rogerpence1117]

Awesome looking pond, great job grading Chris all blends in !! Like the airial shots.

[@chuckhixson2725]

Your really an artist, with a cutting edge

[@stefanaxelsson513]

Beautiful Job Chris

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Looks great, another job well done Dam good work Central California watching

[@philbohrman3918]

Extremely excellent work, Chris. No wasted motion.

[@billabong9215]

What an amazing transformation in 3.5 days. Landscape is completely different.

[@franz357]

Awesome job, and it's a hack of a great idea to inert at the end of the video before and after pictures taken from the same spot : makes us really appreciate the size of the job !

[@kirk467]

Chris, you always do a jam up job brother! Looks awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻 love this video!

[@derrickpettit3489]

Man that looks sweet, Chris you know your shit when it comes to dirt work an ponds, man you make dirt look pretty! Pond looks Sweet

[@brucebenson9651]

Great job Chris. I love this project. Beautiful property that now has a great pond!

[@12jeeplover]

I loved washing the bucket. Perfect time to do it and the water was still murky.

[@mountainviews5025]

Not sure how many times I've watched this video lol I really like this build and yes love that new bucket great job Chris thumbs up my friends

[@donburg5125]

Good job young man, you do some awesome work, stay safe

[@themorganator]

you and Billy Ray make a good team Chris! The before and after pictures are amazing!

[@brianwebber7168]

That overflow will run constantly restoring the creek downstream.

[@stephenkeefer3436]

FINE fast work Chris ! Top shelf all the way .

[@keithdunlap2701]

Man, You guys knocked that one slick out !! I like that "S" turn that backs up off to the right side, where all the snakes was when ya started. Turned out Super Nice Chris !! And your finish bucket works quite nice too !! Slicks it right up !! lolol....Great as Always Chris !! Great Job....Have a Great Evening....On to the Next !!

[@jwg19444]

👍 Looks really nice; the rain from Delta will give it a good test and probably introduce fish from upstream. The planned fountain will keep the pond aerated for a healthy eco system.

[@davedavis662]

That was some serious dirt moving, only a professional could maneuver as expertly. That’s what keeps us coming back for more!

[@timkelley8775]

Good job Chris. You certainly know how to build a really nice pond.

[@gethinjones1348]

Awesome job Chris 👌

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

It sure is different from when you started it looks good good little fishing pond at the end. 👍👍😀🍁🎣

[@imysteryman]

It is no wonder you stay so busy, with the quality of work you do. Excellent Job!

[@greghoffstadt667]

Nice job Chris. Always a pleasure watching a smooth operator. Great work and on to the next!

[@828biggs]

It will be beautiful! Great job!

[@CharlieMetcalf]

It was hard to tell when you were telling us what it was going to be, but after seeing it completed, it looks very nice. Excellent job!

[@nickinnewy7567]

Yeah Chris, awesome job mate, this one was really cool to follow through, thanks heaps

[@lylesmith1949]

Another superb pond job!

[@duanebennett2961]

Looks awesome, holy cow from what you started with.. amazing!!

[@marcwohlmayer7897]

Fantastic work you guys.looks awesome like piece of artwork 😀.best Project i have ever seen.👍👍👌.brilliant Project Chris and keep Up the good work😀

[@keithhousewright2108]

Another great job, Chris! That excavator is like an extension of your arm.

[@kirk467]

Pond dam looks amazing Chris! I can’t wait to see it filled up! I bet it’s going to be beautiful! Good job brother!

[@tracydavis3149]

Beautiful job Chris. That's a nice pond. Great work yal did. Love the videos. Stay safe

[@jpenny01]

You know Chris, been following you for a while now. I also follow a few others that run heavy equipment around KZbin. They do a fair job at what they do. Their jobs are passable. But you're an artist my brother. Ran a rubber tire for about 12 years, and a skid steer. the jobs I did were along the lines of utilities. ( mostly plumbing rough-ins, some lot clearing, and pad layouts. ), but they definitely weren't a work of art. and that's the difference. Thanks for sharing what you do. That job look pretty darn good considering everything.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Now that's a awesome pond cause before not. Great job Chris

[@chrisgalliher497]

Awesome job! Looks amazing

[@rickeybakerbaker8915]

A true professional I see why you're so busy great job Chris

[@MrSea2river]

Very nice pond and video. My only question is regarding the green matting: should the overlaps be in the other direction so that when the water flows, it doesn't lift up the next mat? Thanks for all the education you provide.

[@davestinson5691]

Great job man as usual. I love how u left it curved/natural lookin. Instead of perfectly straight edges. Volvo looks to be doin awsome 4 ya

[@randycarpenter2914]

Nice pond and some real dirt moving to build it while it is filling up.

[@judithfairchild8620]

Nicely done. I'd like to see what it looks like now.

[@Jaiclickclik]

Very nice job. It really enhances the property

[@roseanna9100]

Your on another level when it comes to using those machines Chris.

[@keloreilly7017]

Why is it so satisfying to watch this? Art in motion.

[@Mephiston]

This came up really well. I'm glad you're starting to take before and after pics. Maybe consider taking a few shots during so we can have a short flipboard of the job from start to finish? That's be rad as heck. Cheers, Chris.

[@johncampbell6382]

That looks absolutely brilliant Chris and I would say 10 out of 10 great job well done 👍

[@photocontrol]

Great job! The pond turned out very nice!

[@johnthomson9558]

The Volvo ,the new AMI attachments,really show, why you needed to upgrade !!

[@andylarner3531]

You are poetry in motion with the skid steer

[@michaelcarlson1528]

That really looks amazing! Great job, guys!

[@warrenbridges4095]

Nice work.. enjoy the pride & detail you put into it...

[@mslorry3420]

Excellent work as always. The clock was ticking on this one. Could definitely see the pond rising. The sky looked right mean there for awhile in the morning!

[@agipesr]

Awesome job, pond looks great!

[@MG-cu6ny]

This one is probably my favorite. Great work.

[@davidrobins4025]

You’ve done another great job on this dam. As always I enjoy your videos.

[@bobbaer869]

AWESOME job Chris 👍👍

[@timsr.6706]

Man, what a heck of a video, thanks, made my day !!!

[@jimshoe6828]

Very nice! Keep up the good work.

[@TyroneBootlace]

Wow !!! that was the fastest 50 mins of my life. Cheers Chris always appreciated :-)
