Installing The Overflow And Rock On The Abandon Quarry Dam

[@williamgraham8809]

It is amazing how well you and Mike work together. You both are figuring out on the fly how to solve the problems that you run into, and you have similar thought processes. Makes for a great team effort!

[@OregonBob1955]

Without a doubt, this Quarry Lake project, is in my top 3 all time LD18 videos. Tip of the hat to Chris, Mike, Robert and Aaron!

[@artm5294]

So now there really is “a road to nowhere” . 👍😊🇨🇦

[@williamhouk6880]

Looks like a good place to start an underground limestone mine entrance.

[@pjs5191]

So who is Robert, One of Chris’ friends?

[@JohnyLatelyCome]

One of my favorite collaborations when you two guys get together, nice to see how Mike loses his cockiness when working with Chris 😆

[@kayenicholls5473]

Good morning from Australia it’s Tuesday morning here and hope you’re having an awesome day

[@gerardocabrera3787]

I remember Mike and man behind the scenes hauling all those pips from that abandoned pipe making company. Like a hundred of them. Who said you don't recycle. Awesome job my friends. And that's a wrap.

[@pmiller7886]

Its been a treat watching you two work together, giving MBTS some notice as to the new management, been great viewing! I had no idea you were this funny as you have no workers to harass like Mike does. These guys give you the room to exercise your comedy skills Chris! 🤣

[@nandi123]

The pipe hook is a neat trick. First time I ever saw that. Another day and Chris would have the brush burned, the lake edges slicked up, and the whole area seeded. 🙂👍

[@raycollington4310]

This was a good collaboration with you and Mike. I think you're were just mates playing with big toys and having fun on this one. Very entertaining and a good demonstration of machine skills. Thank you Chris & Mike

[@ronniespikes9089]

And now I know who makes all Chris videos! Robert is a treasure too! Thanks and he is never seen or heard from. Such a valuable employee, or partner who knows, but he is good!!

[@randysmith9636]

Besides all the fine machinery operating going on, im just amazed at how well y'all can do everything with one hand. The life of a content creator. Edit to add. OK who else puckered up a bit when he had the boom pressing down on that clay pipe to level it?

[@deanrambler9006]

Yeah, I was puckered. I thought it was going to pop.

[@paulprigge1209]

So are disappointed now It did not break. Would have been great for a short!

[@frankarchuleta5427]

Bring us back to this project a year later to review the status.

[@russellmcelreath7918]

18, some of the best content displaying creative, courageous, competent use of equipment in a man v nature endeavor. Thanks for the share. Yourself, Dp, and Aaron could work on my project for sure!

[@aulasdedirecao]

It's been a delight witnessing the seamless collaboration between both of you in showcasing the latest advancements in agricultural machinery. Not only did this video shed light on MBTS's new management, but it also offered a truly enjoyable viewing experience! I never realized your sense of humor was so delightful; perhaps it's because you don't have any workers to tease, unlike Mike. Chris, these gentlemen truly provide you with the perfect canvas to unleash your comedy skills! Bravo

[@kylesmith8769]

That was a really interesting project. I couldn’t imagine how you would seal that dam. Interesting approach. I’m surprise you didn’t call Mike’s channel a few months less than perfect. You two are fun to watch together.

[@JasonRutan-rv3dj]

Hope all is well with you all I love watching both your channels I'm now rewatching your guy's older videos lol

[@dougmay8924]

Thank you for letting me/us ,To share your experiences 🙏 ❤️ ,,,,Praying you have GREAT Cooks!!! LOLOLOL, Stay HEALTHY MY FRIENDS ❤😅😊

[@roseannvolrath2271]

Good morning friends ❤😊🌹

[@gerardocabrera3787]

Good morning 🥀Rosa🥀

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Chris //Mike //Aaron & Robert !!!! Great to see ALL can preform well together to "" GET --R--DONE""" !!!! 🙂🙃😉😊 Looks amazing with ALL materials used on hand !! 🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍

[@donburg5125]

Those old school machines move alot more material than the newer crap now days. It's amazing how Chris can get on type of machine and he runs it like a pro

[@heatherlane9270]

A whole lot of fun and team work in the series - two experienced operators make it look simple. Although it looked sketchy at times, and it was, care and personal safety was kept aa the most important focus. Thank you all involved for this and LetsDig18 for a fantastic example of excavation.

[@doug9418]

I like to watch freinds helping friends, especially these two. They are so much a crack up, but still so serious. 😅

[@pattucker612]

Looks great, but a scary project, keep up the good work! Nice to see you and DP working together

[@paulokeeffe4827]

Glad you are all good mates as it makes for good entertainment. All you need to do now is do a road runner and coyote trick and paint a tunnel entrance on the cliff face for when someone comes down the road and across the dam wall

[@shk2564]

I’m loving this series! I have a spring fed creek that I want to do this too but it’s a lot less of a hillside and height. All in all it’s less than half the job. A half day so you would probably take a day to do it! 😂 I would feel like I won the lottery if you could do it for me. I’m a broke a$$ disabled veteran and have been working on clearing the path by hand for years. I am hoping to rent a couple pieces of equipment to get it done someday if the economy ever improves. And if I don’t lose my farm before that happens. 😅❤

[@johnmitchell2094]

It's really great to see 2 professionals working together.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Once again, a whole video with a grin on my face. Watching you both do everything you can to leave your site better than you arrived, just warms my heart. You both showed here what real experts can do if left to their own resources. Thanks for this, Chris and yes, I'll be looking forward to Mike's eventual video.🤣

[@dixiebourne752]

My two favorite KZbinr together letsdig18 and dirt pert

[@bjl1226]

Don't you just love when Chris takes over, hahaha

[@robertlacour8338]

I am glad to see you got Jerry’s permission. Really good looking “beaver” dam!!!!

[@philwalters1848]

the new vista from the incline over the fishing hole to the quarry cliff, cinematic, the fisherman will adore it, sun on your back, new growth of trees, what's not to like.

[@maryloudamarino4079]

This whole mini series was fun to watch. You guys work well together. Great friendship there!

[@tvan47]

I'm so glad you guys are friends. You work well together.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hello Chris, this was a fun project to watch and around the 30:00 minute mark today, we got to see Mikes thoughtful and caring side as he took you to the equipment barn and fired up the 850B so as to make you comfortable, just as though you were home on your own D6, squeaky undercarriage and all.😂

[@albertvanlingen7590]

Sure hope we get to see the pond/lake again after it settled and water reached the overflow 🙏🏻

[@Steve-od2di]

I sense a new channel Lets Dig Perfectly.

[@NeilMaclachlan]

There was just a bank and water, then now a road and dam....very interesting seeing it all come together....stay safe

[@bradfreer2132]

Mike this was awesome to see Chris on your project, another great guy 👍

[@rssvss]

Fantastic looking job, that's well done!

[@hydraulic-hum]

really enjoyable videos, thanks Chris and Mike.. also big thanks to Robert for filming most of the action!

[@averagejoe1943]

I love watching you two working together! There’s always an awesome project, and the good nature picking is hilarious! Keep finding more excuses to work together! My favorite KZbin channels in one spot!

[@condeerogers5858]

I just watched Dirt Perfect's video from start to finish of this project. I am glad you know each other. That tells me a lot. I just started watching your videos too. You really know your stuff.

[@davidepool5884]

Y’all did a fantastic job on the dam, the road and borrow pit. It’s a good thing that everything had good breaks. It looks like the water level of the lake will be a little higher now. I wonder how long it will take the beavers to plug the pipe you put in. It doesn’t matter how deep the water is, beavers will always want to stop the flow and make it deeper.

[@snappingbear]

Yes, beavers literally can't stand the sound of running water. It triggers them to go into hyper work mode to plug the leak. They will try to plug the culvert you can bet on that.

[@Losttoanyreason]

I think the beavers will be too embarrassed about their failure to keep the pond to the height the land owner wanted to cause any trouble. 😁

[@johnmorse0602]

I'm glad we don't have Beavers in NZ. They seem like nothing more than a nuisance. most of the time.

[@hanswichmann5047]

On the RR I retired from there used to be a bounty on beaver pelts payable at the station as late as the '60's.. When they almost went extinct this was stopped. Now the RR uses up facing elbows to control the water levels & rebar mesh covers for the beavers..The Maint Of Way guys would just rake off the debris as needed..Everybody happy...

[@fleminj2pa]

I watch both of your channels so it was doubly enjoyable watching you work together. It would be interesting to watch you guys collaborate on a really big project.

[@zburdette1223]

What an awesome job by everyone that had a hand in this project. 😊

[@johnmitchell2094]

I'm glad he fixed the brakes on the loader recently! :))

[@tommyhardin8720]

Love to see you and Mike work together on a project good team. God Bless.

[@mischef18]

A collaboration of 2 Utoob guys doing what they do best, entertain us with the help of others. Real tidy finish to the project too. Safe travels to everyone. Ken.

[@rayspear3062]

I enjoy watching both channels. Thanks for taking us along.

[@henrydisbrowe6704]

I enjoy watching you play with the equipment and DP as he best

[@onryboy2264]

That's it Cris @letsdig18, show Mike @dirttperfect how to break up a tree. Have a wonderful day and please be safe.

[@kevinblevins2612]

Need to give us a shot of it next summer after it greens back up Great job!

[@henkweurding3339]

I watch ld18 videos everyday, but these three were the most relaxing, interesting and entertaining videos he posted this year. Problem solving, all kinds of equipment and a beautiful scenery and last not least DP and Arren. Top! Next time him visiting you like he did before but with Arren.

[@brian7327]

Glad to see you working well with your brother so he could teach you some more things even if they wasn't politically correct 😂😂😂😂 MBHTS is definitely an asset to him

[@pjs5191]

Funny seeing DP’s new machines on Chris’ channel before DP’s lol. Nice to see the new Hyundai CTL in the dirt. Project is coming together and looking good guys.

[@kevinmurray7135]

Nicely done you guys have a good trip home Chris and Mike always a treat watching you and having Chris help on his trip up North was cool 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

[@chafedbm]

Nothing against LD, but Mike runs that 210 smoother. I have no doubt that's because its Mike's machine. Both of these guys are pros, enjoy their work, and have fun doing it. Great collab!

[@markpashia7067]

I knew something weird was coming when I saw Mike and Aaron rowing a leaky old boat away from the drag line down stream without showing where they were going, but I did not expect something like this. Nice work guys. Heck the beavers might start hiring you guys to do the work for them and let them sit back and supervise you. But then they do have to work those teeth down or they get into trouble so I guess not.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I totally forgot that.😁

[@dougmay8924]

Soooo Cool to be there with you guys &working together on different projects!!! Like watching ,,,Gordie Howe,,,&Ted Lindsay 😂 Detroit Wing hockey 🏒 Soooo Smooth,,,Love you guys 😅😅😅❤

[@keithbrettell2058]

[@Brian-tm4xt]

I was introduced to your channel through your good friend Mike. And I can honestly say you guys are a bunch of good operators The job came out really nice for what it was the only thing I would have changed was that clay piping yall laid out but I heard you and Mike both mention it's a budget job so ya made do with what you had and there's not a damn thing wrong with that.. y'all gentlemen stay safe out there can't wait to see what's next keep them coming and awesome content 👍🏻✌🏻🇺🇲

Turned out purdy! First time I think I ever heard someone complain about the beavers not doing their job properly, LOL. Building the road scared the batootees out of me😱. The dam was the easy part. 👍

[@AppliedOCD]

Great video, Chris! I love watching your content on my lunch break every day!

Very cool project.

[@ianmurray9201]

That turned out great,I'll check Mike's video in a couple of months 🤣

[@scottfortune9016]

Completely different kind of environment for you Chris, with the mountains, etc and you just adapted and created yet another masterpiece.

[@AllstarVentures]

We had a “C” hook at the steel mill when I worked there. Moved a many of thousands of coils with that thing. Don’t miss it ! Excellent idea for Mike’s clay pipe though 👍🏼

[@Meister775]

Being a machine operator has to be the most fun thing anyone can do ❤

[@RumMonkeyable]

This entire project has been AWESOME! Thanks for posting! 👍👏✨❤😍 P.S. I was born about an hour north of here (now in the beautiful Texas Hill Country). Limestone is used to side everything in southern Indiana....including sheds and dog houses! 😜😂😁Interesting fact, the Biltmore (in Asheville, NC) was built with Indiana Limestone. George Vanderbilt built a railway to haul the limestone blocks from Indiana to North Carolina. Holy Had-Lots-of-Money, Batman!
