[@brockshields9336]

I really hope you never tire of posting on KZbin. Pretty amazing that you've been sharing for 13 years and still give fresh content even if it's bitching about mud and smoke in the same breath.

[@bobferranti5222]

Wow, Chris, it's just amazing , the change you've made in that pond is dramatic. It's even more impressive that all the trees and brush ended up in that pit and you can't even tell where it is. Your work is so much more superior to other contractors I have seen and you car so much for the finished product. Hats off to you!

[@donaldlindgren6817]

When the wind is coming from behind as the air flow around the machine a low pressure area is formed in front of the machine between it and the fire. The smoke is sucked into the low pressure area.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

This sounds accurate.

[@johnnyholland8765]

Couldn't have said it better myself...

[@yusefhasan7524]

I’ll 4th that.

[@assassinlexx1993]

You beat me to it and said it better. I never have good luck calling white rabbit .

[@james_jr]

Indeed

[@richwielechowski5191]

Owners are sure going to enjoy that pond. What a transformation you achieved.

[@toddbauer878]

During a time that's full of stress and anxiety, I always look forward to your videos to take my mind off the world and just watch your working therapy you do. No politics no opinions just good honest work and a great ethic. Thanks for all you do.

[@kenbarnes8958]

i can't get politics out o my mind especially since my vote doesn't count anymore

[@micahwatson8595]

I watch for the same therapeutic reasons. Love Chris's content.

Good words and ambition

4- 10 hr days / 1 man and machine? WoW! A beautiful transition and no comparison between the before and after Chris. 👍👍That's a fair bit of work in a short off /on time span, mostly in bad wet weather. You call it having a touch of OCD, I call it a man utilizing a grading bucket like a cake spatula and achieving spectacular landscaping results. No doubt in my mind , you're the best / tidiest operator I've ever seen. The property owners must be more than happy with the results as money well spent. Congrats again on the Excavator recovery.., in one month, now enjoying a whopping 7.3 million views!

[@bige9055]

That dirt next to the burn pit, you dug out day b4. Well it’s not mud any longer. Nicely done Chris on the whole job. The Pond looks a 1,000 times better. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@earlsmithson4749]

Chris, no question you are the Pond King. This is beautiful view for the homeowner and something he will enjoy for many years to come.

[@christopherdonald9001]

Loving the leaf blower to get that fire nice and hot!

[@ni_wink84]

The ponds are always my favorite because of how big of a difference you make, I always love seeing how much detail you put into all these projects

[@duaneayers6117]

If the people stay on top of the surrounding of this pond can always show its beauty. Great Work 👍🇺🇲

[@makingithappen5178]

Finally some nice weather. Even if it's wet, the sun does it a little nicer.

[@DJinOcalaFla]

Doesn't even look like the same pond; wow! Another great job, as always.

[@keloreilly7017]

You were so thoughtful when working around the pet grave. Thank you for that. It means a lot to me as a pet lover.

[@michaeld_68]

Another great job Chris l!!! 👏👏👍To bad it's looking like rain 🌧️ to start the week again 😢

[@waltermattson5566]

What a nice pond. It would be nice to hear what the customer thinks about it when they are around to talk about it.

[@donnamullins2089]

Great overview. Perfect teardrop shaped pond. I always enjoy the journey. Thanks

[@RaymondStarr007]

Beautiful job Chris when it’s seeded and the house is built it’s going to look absolutely amazing

[@kenguier8464]

Your video's provide a welcome relief from regular TV programing. Watching your video's is something I look forward to each day. I can honestly say that since I started watching your video's and KZbin in general, I probably spend less than an hour a week on regular TV and that time is to watch the local news if I think there is anything worth watching.... Thank you for so many hours of totally enjoyable watching. A large bowl of buttered popcorn and a coke and I am set for the evening.... Thanks again.

[@ogreatmaster8334]

Beats anything on TV by a long shot .... !!!!!! Pure Sunday evening viewing pleasure in my book.

[@greghoffstadt667]

Nice clean little teardrop pond. Looks fantastic 👌.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Nice job on the pond!!

[@davecrable1356]

Haven't you ever heard Chris, 'smoke follows beauty'! And we all know how sweet that Volvo is, especially when you have her all shined up 😂

[@MyTractorGuy]

That can't be true, smoke follows me all the time and I think I look like a chewed-up piece of bubble gum. LOL!

[@Skynet-1]

The homeowner has to be super happy with the outcome. Nice job Chris! 👍👍👍

[@jeffreyneihart1614]

Chris the "Picasso of Ponds" Another great Job!!!!

[@stephenkeefer3436]

By golly Chris that sure turned out nice. But then everything you work on does too. Tell us again how much you like that grading bucket! It’s a game changer !.

[@brucekimpton4725]

It’s going to look amazing in spring when the grass grows and green is all around the pond

[@kittymorse7402]

You do beautiful work.

[@danne77sthlm]

That is going to look so good when all the grass has come up and its green!

[@Dan-ud8ob]

O.C.D.. obsessive Chris disorder..i have it and all of your subscribers have it.. remember ..you started this ..lol.. pond looks awesome ..well done !

[@ronaldheit196]

Another very entertaining vid by Chris. This one was a fairly long series. No doubt some of it really drove Chris to the very edge of his patience. Especially the smoke and mud. We all know how mud is his number one nemesis. That property definitely quadrupled in value just cleaning up the pond and surrounding area. It's gonna be a beautiful place to live for sure. The field off to the left looks like the perfect place to build a baseball field.

[@HH-xt3ns]

Chris, David & Melissa must be so pleased that they got Mr.O.C.D.Pondman to carry out another incredible job, one question for you, I have 24 ours in my day and no way could I fit in what you do.keep up the excellent work, many thanks for the hours of entertainment you give us all.

[@jboofer1]

You're a good operator. These vids are calming to watch.

[@stevedoty5841]

Another beautiful job from a junk pond to an usual pond for the new home. Drone flight awesome

[@brockshields9336]

Really nice teardrop shape to the pond. You didn't change the shape so much but gave it a greater definition.

[@hotvinc5]

Nice to see finish product in a longer video ! Appreciate it !

[@juniorraines1042]

Wow before and after pictures looks awesome Chris enjoyed watching

[@mikeseguin6443]

That brush is how we made our bush haul roads.Made a 18 to 20 foot wide mat.Then make the ditch line and use that material to top the brush mat.So once it was dry then it was gravelled.Some times the swamps would be half way up the tracks.We world set logs in front of our progress to walk on and built the road base with turned over stumps and limbs and knock over big poplar trees or any small trees we could find. Sometimes we made really fast and sometimes it took a while to go across the swamp.So I know what you mean by hating mud.

[@DennisDuboisLifeview]

It's hard to believe that this is the same pond Chris. Beautiful work as always.

[@haroldhawkins9370]

Chris, another pond job well done. Great work.

[@juliecar8430]

Would love to see update videos of your work. With the grass and clear water. That would be the icing on the MUD cake 💗😉

[@craigwavra3495]

Enjoyed this video! So cool to see the before and after shots. Really like how you dress the edges.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

You have mud like we have snow right now....and another epic Chrispond is in the books. Quality stuff.

[@vhostovich]

Chris, you worked your magic again!

[@christopherweldy]

I watch your videos every night until I fall asleep. It is so relaxing to me. I love your videos 😊😊

[@DadzorRules]

Beautiful job, Chris. I would love to see it once the grass comes in.

[@stevepettit5114]

Chris, Maybe you should repaint your LD18 emblem on your thumb!

[@iSTAYuGO]

Yeah lets see the wear and tear, then we can paint some lipstick on the lady ;)

[@deernutOO]

Very nice pond you are leaving there for your customer. Enjoy your commentary and thoughts as you move through the process of burning, landscaping, and making a fine makeover of this pond. Very enjoyable video to watch and listen to as you perform and entertain. tks

[@craighaver7679]

Another fine job completed by the pond master!!!!

You sure did a good job on that pond you never know it was the same pond when you started and when you finished and having a drone sure makes it look good good job. 👍👍😀🇨🇦

[@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton]

Quite incredible - fantastic work as always - really enjoy your videos :)

[@michaelannetts5714]

Really enjoyable series of 5.5 days work and to finish with before and after was the perfect ending, thanks from Mike in UK.

[@Outeniqua_Hiking]

Ponds are always my favourate work to watch. Well rounded off as always.

[@jenniferpablo1973]

Hi you make a very nice job of all the ponds that i have seen you do plus all the other stuff that you do well done the master 😀👍👍

[@Kanamit.]

*I really enjoy the drone footage at the end of the projects.*

[@gold-diggersanonymous1085]

@23:30 a quick refreshing shower!🤣 ...better than a grilled Volvo! Great video, great Job!! Well done Chris! 👍👍👍

[@floatrollorfly7872]

In one of your future videos could you explain what that little monitor on the right in front of you does? I’m assuming it’s a tilt display or gauge cluster of some sort? I think it would be interesting to learn about the machinery and it’s operation.

[@johnkmcgregor5209]

Check AJ Works he explains a bit.

[@Blazer02LS]

It is a multifunction display. You can select what it shows from a menu. His common display is engine gauges, water temp, oil pressure, oil temp fuel level and such. But you can see the cameras on the sides/rear, or use it to adjust various things like pressures and port flow as well.

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

Hey Chris, the before and after from the drone is spectacular! You get a great picture of the amount of work that went into the project. This is a great way to end the videos.

[@stevemartinez6757]

Man I would love to have your services for a week on my property. The quality of work that you do shows.

[@markbrown6236]

Great looking pond, and my favorite drone after music.

[@ElectronicMechanic50]

Love the before and after shots!

[@davidepool5884]

I don’t care how good a person is at clearing ground, they will never get every little stick. Even a ruckus rake will leave sticks and rocks behind. The only way to get them is to pick them up by hand. You always leave the ground as clean as possible. When you’re finished the job site always looks neat and well graded even when you’re dealing with mud. Great job and video as always.

[@callisto8232]

Incredible work...especially for one man in such a short time frame.

[@jasont5635]

Chris the blend master and with that AMI grading bucket priceless

[@emyrjones829]

I have been watching you for a long time I really enjoy watching you transform the pond and everything else you do , you are an expert at what you do, and I have noticed Tim is not with you does he still work for you,🇬🇧👍

[@TL64329]

Very nice work. Makes the pond look bigger.

[@MrSickmickey]

The respect you showed that small creatures grave site says worlds about your character.May God bless and keep you Chris.

[@FishFind3000]

What part of the video was that?

[@DriveShaftDrew]

absolutely beautiful great job well done thumbs up shared

[@markarmstrong2592]

That is some difference in 6 days great job as normal so much pride in your work no wonder you keep so busy. Chris any chance of a video when the house is built to see it all finished now that would be awesome can't wait for the next job

[@charlesmattingly8500]

I never realized ponds were such a big deal. I've sure learned different watching your videos. Good job young man,very entertaining for an old guy like myself.

[@kneedeepinit]

The Paisley Pond. You sure do nice work

[@tangothecat237]

It would be fantastic is you could come back in a couple of years and see the house finished and the pond grown in.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Chris another great job man I really like the before and after video of the pond and I also just wanted to thank you man for taking us along every day on your journey at work, I watch your videos every morning around 4:30 AM while I’m having my coffee and it just gets my day started but anyway brother you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man

[@george8873]

Looks like you make the ponds bigger when you clean them up but all you're doing is yanking the junk off the edge of the pond's water so they can be maintained easier. Turned out great like every other pond you've done.

[@Urbicide]

Nice job. I hope that the owners appreciate your level of craftsmanship!

[@michaelpage9883]

That’s a vast improvement for the pond. Great job!

[@williamgraham8809]

I think you slid over the ocd border a long time ago! That's why you always have work, and always deliver a beautiful project!

Great video, great job. Love watching, Thanks for sharing.

[@johnscott2849]

Around here all the snow we got last week starting to melt. Everything will be a muddy mess for 2 months if we only get a little rain. We get monsoons it could be longer. That wet spot you were driving threw that's the way it will be everywhere around here.

Chris, another great job! Thanks for the great channel.

[@tedc3895]

Grass seeder dragging old bed springs behind it. When she dries up .twice. Put lots of wheat in the grass seed. And mow it just before the wheat goes to seed. Or rye. Which ever is cheapest. I always had good luck rolling it after it's freshly seeded. Get the seed in good contact with the ground.

[@Mike7478F]

Love when it all ends up smooth and uniform looking. A work of art bud. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@stevenphare5455]

Another beautiful pond and building site! Loved the narrative and explanations this time. You did more than usual it seemed.👍

You turned a good piece of property into a great piece! Nice work here, I'd love to build a home on that lot now.

[@robnewell6123]

Another beautiful pond and house lot - and job well done. Amazing how that soaking wet, muddy nasty brush will burn after the hot spot gets cooking.

[@jbonegw]

It was nice to see the original pond developer did a good job.

[@craigroedema5018]

Great operator. Good pond builder.

[@KG-yn9qi]

Your machine makes a wind block, as the wind blows around you , it makes a low pressure area right in front of you. So the hot air will move in towards you! Same thing happens when sit at a camp fire, smoke blows away, then you sit down then blows right at you.

[@marcryvon]

With this man's attention to details, Chris here is an Artiste with a 65,000 lbs palette ! 🤣🤣 Anothervery nice job Chris ! BUT it may be time for a few days break. First saying "I hate muud !" Then getting angry for the smoke. " I hate that !" 😡 That's not you, man. Yep, time for a break with friends and beers !

The area as a whole looks much better for sure. Gonna be a great view from the porch. The very best thing about this job is. The excavator is going home almost like it showed up. Still glad the fire didn't get to bad.
