I usually have coffee in the morning to get started, but I guess an electric fence would work to each there own 😂👍👍

It was 57 years ago I walked into an electric fence & I knew that it was there. I was being lazy didn’t want to open the gate !!! The next time I opened the gate !!!

Good to see you building your dream, one feature at a time.👍 I always like being along for the ride when you work on your place, because it's neat to hear the owner's vision at the same time as the work is getting done.🤔 Going to be fun this one.😀🤞 Be well.😉

[@GlobalistJuice]

Chris' ambition is so strong, it makes my ambition comparable to his afternoon nap (edit: but who am I kidding, Chris clearly doesn't take "naps" haha!) Go get 'em buddy! 👍

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love watching you work on your place. That's a sweet place for a pond. And keeping the perimeter fence up will keep visitors from inappropriate visitations. Nice seeing David working with you on this. I know it will be hit & miss, but I hope you will make this into a series. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.

[@sueoreiro703]

I am always amazed with your ability to look at land and “ see” how to lay it out to get a beautiful end result. It is a gift you obviously have embraced and used well!

[@gailrowland1672]

Farm updates & creating ponds are my favorite videos…got both here❤️

[@JonDisnard]

If you say it's going to be the dream point, then I reckon it's true. But that's saying something, especially after watching some of the biggest jobs on this channel. For example, The Beally pond site was pretty incredible, and the was a large repair job on a pond that was already nice, and straight familiar once repaired. It's hard to imagine topping what you've already done.

its not going to be huge by any means but its going to be a nice pond for the area its going in

I've absolutely no doubt that this pond will be Chris's crowning achievement pond. He's building it for himself so there's absolutely no doubt that he's going to be putting his heart and soul into it. Especially since he's going to have renters seeing and using it. A realshowpiece of his Ranchero Letsdig18.

[@Lenny65]

Yes I agree that new property is really looking sharp and when he says top 10 ponds ever you will see a well manicured pond 2 cabins and who knows what else built nice asf. Just like his existing property. And to top it off he only does the work in his spare time after his day job !! Thumbs up Let's dig.

[@talibirkmanis5727]

Another great video , I am really looking forward to seeing your own dream pond constructed ,( also Im sure all of your followers will be watching this pond build with added interest ), judging on your capabilities and work prowess it should be fantastic . Even though your property looks great now , I think will be spectacular when you finish what you have planned !

[@reedburke7762]

I prefer the excavator for clearing rather than the dozer; it seems much more surgical and cleaner to me. Can't wait to see the start of the pond excavation, looking forward to the outcome! Thanks, Chris, keep up the videos!

[@p1zd3c]

It's always a joy to see your work. It is even more so to see you doing your work for yourself and chasing those dreams. There's a tone to your voice that's unmistakable excitement. Even with your incredible work that you do for other people, this is my favorite stuff to watch. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

[@medlinlandmaintenancellc]

Gonna like to see the progress on the is project! Gonna look GOOD when you get done with it! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@markpace779]

Excited to be coming to a close on catching up to date with your posts. I have surely enjoyed following you on your journey over the years. Hard working people are in short supply these days so it's been a treat to watch your day to day work life. Thank you for giving a crap and taking pride in what you do, you are truly one of a kind and I cant wait to see what the future has in store for you and your channel.

[@stacywilliams6837]

I love to watch you work on your own property! I am excited to watch your pond project!

[@AllstarVentures]

Feel your pain on pulling stumps with the mini. Had a few to pull this week that someone had already cut the tree. 12-14” on the stump had 8’ tap roots 😢. Only I didn’t have the 220 for back up. Had to muscle through. Capable, just not efficient. Can’t wait to see the pond come together. Nice place ! 👍🏼

[@michaelmullins1290]

I suppose it will be one of the nicest ponds you've done. It is gonna be your pond. Perfection has no limit for yourself. And that's cool.

Hi Chris I have watched your videos for quite a while and I'm extremely impressed. Your economy of motion in removing trees is unrivaled. I watch you daily and love your channel.

Great to have the vision for a great pond, and have it be your pond, and have the tools and talent to create your pond. Doesn't get any better than that. Look forward to seeing it all come together as you find the time.

Merry Christmas Chris to you n your family, and to everyone else out there in the internet/KZbin world, Happy New Year. From Australia 🇦🇺 🎉

[@terryrogers1025]

First thing I will say is that little Yanmar has got some sickem to it, especially with the AMI, LD18 bucket and thumb, blade appears to be pretty handy also. Next thing is, with some landscaping background myself, is anytime you can add sweeping long curves to any scape, like your talking on your pond, makes it oh some much more appealing to the eye and makes the scenery/setting seem so much more calming/relaxing around the area. If it comes half as good as you’re talking, its going to be sweet. Thanks for the ride along sir.

I once saw an excavator hit that wire, and it turned around and stormed off into the woods, yelping all the way, never to be seen again. There's something about the drone of the excavator that puts you into the zone of sheer enjoyment. Its funny seeing this little guy working on little tree stumps. If at first you don't succeed, try try try try try try try…a few lines later…and try again. God I love working the land.
