I’m glad Volvo got to see this large project. It really shows off your talents and how well you take care of your equipment!

[@raycollington4310]

This mother of a job is dirt sculpture and very artistic. Amazing to see the new landscape appear out of nothing. Brilliant Chris, well done Sir

[@dennisward1361]

You have every right to be proud of your work . you couldn't even see 20 feet in front of you when you walked this project the first time but was able to envision a completed project . Awesome project . Stand tall Chris ,you deserve it .

[@drewdaskievige754]

Yeah for something as big as five acres. Plus depending on soil once ya start clearing if is possible. Can always scale back to smaller or just have to move more dirt. What money is made from the logging? Of course that money goes back into the project. What does the govt. give you (pay or write off) to have a pond?

Come a long way from those early days of walking through the bush. Will never forget the stumps! Good on Volvo - they are a lucky business and manufacturer to have LetsDig18 using their equipment. Goliath build nearly complete.

It’s great to see Volvo getting videos of you with their equipment. They should be giving you something in return for all the free advertising for them!

Anyone wishing to see the pond progress after Chris is done and leaves should follow Bealy Good here on KZbin. It's their pond. He does regular updates, including some stuff Chris doesn't show on this channel. Like behind the scenes stuff. Mr. Bealy Good plans on taking us through the pond's journey until it is completed and beyond.

I enjoy everything you do but I’m glad to see you back on the Bealy Good pond build today. You don’t like much being down to the final touches on this job. This is one pond that I definitely want to see after it’s filled up and he’s done with whatever he plans to do on the island.

Chris, I just watched Geoff’s recent video with the fish habitat planning & Volvo folks and noticed you having to walk long distances. Have you thought about putting a hitch on the 220 so you can tow a light weight UTV/ATV? Yeah, it might be a hassle to hitch & unhitch but it would save you time & walking bother in the long run…probably a dumb idea, but I thought I’d mention it.
