Congratulations to Letsdig18 for the snippet from his "I Bought a New Farm" video of about 6 months ago that was selected by Google for their most recent "Google - Year in Search 2022" ad. I saw it in an ad that ran just before this latest video from Letsdig18.

[@Kanamit.]

The work you do is always top-notch.

[@bobharrison2002]

That little track loader has to be one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in your growing fleet! Have a great Christnes.

[@dajamesr]

As I watched this video, I was asking myself, why the heck is he just putting all that crap directly behind him??? Five minutes later, it was an "Ah-hah" moment when I realised that Chris has a bunch of equipment that I do not have at my disposal.... :-) always a pleasure watching you work, even if it is not immediatly evident why you are doing what you are doing. Experience goes a long way.

[@nickchannel5364]

Your critics make me smile sometimes. Every step you take is deliberate and thought out.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Seeing the CG (Chris Guins) oak tree in the background reassures the world all is good, and makes us smile. Happy holidays! 👏👍✨😍❤🎄🎁

[@kogerlaan]

A new road, taylor made !

[@Pegasus209]

It's always nice to see you squeeze in a little time for your own projects. After running equipment all week, and a lot of weekends, most people don't want to even see a piece of equipment on their time off. You have a vision, and are goal driven, which is why you're succeeding, and will continue to succeed. Kudos, Chris!

[@jamesbreault5762]

It all coming together nicely Chris,always good to work on your dream and make it happen.👍👍👍👍👍

Nice,lots of leaves on the transplanted oak tree looking good Merry Christmas to you all 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@richardsmith-io2is]

Hey Chris have you thought about maybe putting a couple of spots for the snowbirds to park a motorhome or RV for the winter

[@tomrogers9467]

Check the climate. It gets cold there. Need to travel further south a full day to get warm!

[@craigwavra3495]

Could watch this work all day long. Reminds me when I was younger watching roads being built. Enjoyed!!

[@tomrogers9467]

When I was a kid, I’d spend every day after school sitting on the spoil piles watching them dig the foundations for my parent’s generation’s subdivisions. All cable excavators, and still the occasional steam driven pile driver, too! That would be ‘59, ‘60 or so. Here I am at 70 doing the same thing. Just not sitting on dirt. I can afford a recliner now.

[@1952bigjohna]

I look at the house, sheds and oak tree and think WOW you've come a long way from when you lived in the trailer and worked full time with your uncle. Well done. I was wondering what was the crop you had beside the road and what do your parents think with how you have followed your dream?

[@greggb1416]

Beautiful work., on a beautiful day. Great video, Thank you sir.

[@medlinlandmaintenancellc]

Looking good brother

[@HootMaRoot]

What you call a sloppy mess is roughly how the ground is in the summer where I live in Scotland, but when we get through the 3 to 6 feet of topsoil it's all mostly clay like with lots of stone through it

[@TheBurnsStuff]

Right there with you on the battery deal. I usually don't care what it costs, if I need it running, it needs to be fixed.

[@terryrogers1025]

I am with you on the irritation it causes when a piece of equipment isn’t running right ( battery in skid steer), for me, its just take the time to get it fixed and be done with, saves time in the long run also, especially when you have limited time to get a project done, thanks for the ride along sir, going to look nice when your done.

[@dennismahonchak3228]

Chris, thanks for the view of the oak tree. It looks like it's doing good. Just think what it will look like in 50 years. I have a Ginko tree on our property that our son planted from a seed when he was 5. He's now 38.

[@rickstewart9716]

I'm constantly amazed at the jobs you do, the machines are good but the way you operate them is unreal like they are extensions of your fingers, so smooth.

[@rayevans2052]

Looks like the oak tree is doing well.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Down here in Florida they use shell for roads and driveways like that. It cool how things and materials are different in different places. Looking good.

[@tomrogers9467]

I’ve heard Florida Construction is a shell game, too!

[@larrylong6268]

Looks good!

[@briantilley3158]

By the look of the grass growing in that new meadow of yours, Mr Bealy Good made a mistake buying his own seed. The new farm is becoming a credit to your hard work.

[@heatherlane9270]

A long way from that first video on introducing the purchase of the farm - the opportunity to watch the evolution of the farm is a privilege. Love the plans that you have shared - it certainly is a beauty.

[@ryanhoward1013]

Perfectly said he's amazing

[@chrisbartrum3201]

Impressive. When you look back to that fine house, caravan life, working full time for Uncle John and nurturing Tim, it's amazing how far you've progressed in a relatively short space of time. Stuff of dreams for many, Chris; and I don't wholly understand your mission, but kudos to you and your channel.

[@ryanhoward1013]

Chris has had a dream for a long time of the farm and everyday its getting closer he has worked his ass off to get it the way it is so far and he has a long way to go BUT he will get there. His hard work and dedication to the farm, work and his dreams it will come true. Thanks for the videos Chris you are one hell of a man, be careful and God bless you

[@Delekham]

@@ryanhoward1013 IF and do mean "IF" I remember correctly! His goal is to have basically 6? BNB's, or something close to a BNB (Cottages). Now I am guessing that he is going to bring in Prefabricated Cottages. Since they will be coming in on a 18 wheeler (or more wheels). They need a good base to drive on! Kudos to Chris for making this road as STURDY as Possible!! :)

[@martingardener90]

@@Delekham I am wondering how Chris will manage these BNB's, My Daughter-in law has 6 Pods in Cumbria (England) and it takes nearly all her time and some paid help to run them - between laundry and cleaning.

[@n7565j]

It wasn't too awful long ago that crusher run was less than $10 a ton!!! I sure wish our 1 mile long drive was built like you are building yours, (back in 1989) but the land owner who was building it kept telling the driver, "go a little faster, a little faster"... We've had trouble with it ever since!!! Nice job Mr LD18!!! Merry Christmas to you & yours sir!!!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

This was fun. That's a solid little road you built there. Have to say when you brought BamBam to grab the dirt, the places where you scraped the dirt back, he looked like a prehistoric beast with his mouth open. I used a skid steer once and although I could make it go back & forth just fine, moving dirt was not as easy as you make it appear. Thank you for sharing this and sharing your skills.

[@harrykeel8557]

Sometimes you just gotta play in the mud!

[@donnaflanagan6612]

So glad you got some time to do more on your new farm project. Put a road in …… no problem. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@bubbawubba2307]

Ever thought about parking loader behind the mini and dumping into bucket instead of on the ground? Get bigger loads and keep from having to move dirt multiple times. And road not having as many ruts

[@letsdig18]

then id have to get out every time the bucket was full, vs one time to move 5-6 scoops. Not efficient

[@CK-yi6pc]

Merry Christmas Chris and to all….🎄🎄

[@jjMcCartan9686]

Progress is coming along nicely given the limitations you have for time considering you have another 2 pond builds coming up & working with uncle John.

Looking nice Chris , it should hold up whatever you need

[@williamfenner9915]

It looks you having a great time with doing some stuff for yourself. Sometimes you have to get it done also. Betty, and the 953 needs a little bit attention. I hope that you have a great Holiday Season,and I hope that you will have some well deserved time to relax.

Money saver. What I use on my farm and camp roads is washout most cement company’s will happily give it away if you have Dumptruck to haul it. I get mine from only one Co and I have to buy it for $3. 00 a ton. It’s well worth it because they have to move it into three different holding containment’s during the drying process and what you end up with is much better than any crushed cement out there. Spread it out about 6” thick and let a rain hit it and dry out. It bonds back together. Been using it for years now and it last longer than stone.
