[@leolarocque-v5v]

Love your work Chris , Your make work of art Wow love this Job .

[@doritleis2773]

The Dam from the 9 Acre Pond! You make the Dressing Perfect and then seeding You Grass. What You make a Straw Mat to the Cover. A Perfect Work.! What to missing is Water. However a very good work. The Video with the Explanation best Quality. 💪👌

[@Todd.Roberts]

That’s a first class job . Like always very professional job .

[@glennspreeman1634]

You've put together a truly impressive line of equipment, not to mention the dually, fuel trailer and now the goose-neck trailer! From the '350' on down, a line that compliments each need for all types of projects. You can truly feel a sense of pride but it still all hinges on your inate talents of machine operation, dedication to quality work and obvious good business sense.

[@markgardiner5150]

Another great project completed! Your gramps would be proud!

[@Baileeeeey]

Love seeing this project (and most projects) nearing the end and seeing the finishing touches to make everything beautiful

[@nigelhales874]

Late evening Saturday UK time it certainly looks dandy now Chris a big finish to this big little & large pond site thanks for a brilliant finish

[@davidepool5884]

This has been a very entertaining project to watch. I’m looking forward to what you have planned next. It always amazes me that you can take a pile of dirt full of wood scraps and by the time you’re done putting your final touches on it all that junk disappears. I know that Brian is extremely pleased with the final product.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris awesome project and great result! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@davidearl1973]

Looking great! Couldn't have done it without your trusty Kobelco 👍

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

WOW what a great job,you and Brian make a great team

[@ronaldharmon9891]

Incredible project I've been watching on both channels Chris and Brian what a journey.🙌

[@petehenson3755]

As Dizzy Dean used to say "It ain't braggin' if you can do it!" This thought came to me when you mentioned the guy said you can't move the hay with an excavator! LOL!

[@JamesGroves-b1z]

Great job everything looks fantastic

[@IR-nq4qv]

My assumptions were wrong. I thought this was going to be a patch job and then move on. Remembering back what it all looked like when test holes were dug, no comparison, same as looking at two different planets. This was a big undertaking. Just in case you forgot, I had my laser set up, it's all looks good from here in Northeastern Canada.. Great job Chris.

[@stang9660]

I would love to see it when it's full. Good job!!!

[@rockymatthews8643]

Looks really good, Chris. A lot better now than when you first started.

[@tomswindler64]

Turned out nice little project,you put a lot of time and work into this one.turned out beautiful.Brian I’m sure is quite happy.now he can carry on with his dream.overall was that not long of a project for what you achieved.just keep on doing what you do best.now on to the next adventure.great job,great video.be safe.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@GoBlue79]

Seed & Straw. Translation: SEE Y'ALL !!

[@steveminton8329]

Yep, on to the next project 😂

[@victorlawver6957]

In it to Win it, great work Chris

[@jasoncampbell5518]

Looking good.

[@eskimo8348]

Maaaann, hope you have another big pond project lined up, this was fun to watch

[@RKHarm24]

As My Grandfather would say, Forty Eleven Times.

[@markpashia7067]

Another LetDig18 transformation from problems to beautiful end. And another we can follow through Brian's channel to see it fill and the grass to pop and green up. Much like Bealy's project I now have another channel to follow so even more time on the Tube. Great job on this one Chris. Somehow I get the feeling we all will be back for more work in the future. Not repairs, but new areas of expansion and fixing other problems for Brian. Time will tell. Brian has his work cut out for him spreading a lot of dredged top soil and doing beaver control. I wonder if he moved down to that other lower pond for now? They really hate giving up and moving though. Very territorial.

[@mattsutherland120]

Happy Sunday morning from down here. Last weekend in October. starting to warm up here and cool down there 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

[@brucemoore2163]

For not having to clear a woods, make 100s of yards of road or dig a pond, this was a big big job. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@terryrogers1025]

That is looking great, always enjoy the slick up process and looking forward to the finish final look at the project, it sure is a far better look right now than the eye sore you started with. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

[@scrappy7571]

Very Nice!!!!

[@michaelmartt8899]

I hope to see it when it is all done and full of water

[@johnm840]

A nice long project, looks super Nice.

[@ranger2316]

Man... this project took some imagination. I remember what an overgrown mess it was when you started! Beautiful work!

[@everydayshid]

Wish you where one of my best friends... the ones you call family... I'd love to learn these skills... GBU BROTHER, Keep the good stuff coming

[@victorlawver6957]

LetsDig18 has 688k best friends 😅

[@philipfleming3546]

Looks fabulous

[@DacDac-w7r]

Nice the wind was blowing the right way.

[@anthonyjackson3907]

" I said watch ..." Hay guy red face .

[@michaelsmith2723]

That was a great series of videos, Chris. Both of you did great work on the filming of this project. Thank You!

[@nigelhales874]

Well nearly Chris I bet Brian happy

[@Planeiron]

Most people don't know that you play Jhinga with your excavator...Great Vid 👍👍👍👍

[@bosshogg3548]

Great job 👍🏻 love how the beginning is part of yesterday’s video <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> love the vine moving back and forth I thought you were going to show moving the dump truck love how you moved the dirt over the seeds

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@Sean-i4r]

Wow

[@roseannvolrath2271]

[@sbellock5]

Tailgate is a pain in the butt for cleaning the bed.

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

[@keithdunlap2701]

[@BensHalloween]

Earthmoving day, eh?!

[@charlesab]

This has been a nice project to watch, looks great.

[@nealprice6262]

THAT'S A NICE PLACE FOR A HOUSE

[@papatomsthoughts]

Can not wait for next project. I hope it is the one where you were creating better drainage and opening up roads a couple of months back.😊😊😊😊

[@Tnpops]

The end is near

[@victorlawver6957]

They under estimated your talents with the Excavator.

[@johnofferman5814]

😮 are you thinking of putting a thumb on the 350

[@firefly2472]

That will look great in a months time.

[@charlessmyth]

Yet again, now that it can be seen as intended, you can see what was intended :-)

[@bobbyb322]

Here

[@chosen1one930]

If anyone goes to this trouble with seeding and strawing you should also throw down fertilizer and soil amendment which helps more with micro and macronutrients since this soil will be lacking in that.

[@yowser8780]

IMHO: Partner up with a manufacturer and develop an excavator roller for grass seed. Should be pretty easy to perfect with your equipment/expertise at grass seeding.

[@SovaKlr]

I've never seen bales of bales before... or maybe I just didn't realize what I was looking at when I saw them.

[@paullewis6612]

Chris, Should’a told him you can pick up an egg without breaking it 😂😂. He wouldn’t have believed you.

[@robertgeorgewerner]

Have you thought about making an attachment for the excavator that could make the ridges that catch the grass seed when you toss it out on slopes? I think you could still get the compaction benefit from some sort of a roller that you could go up and down the slope with and yet it might be faster to use the excavator because of course your tracks could be perpendicular to the slope.

[@applianceman6194]

How about mounting the camera on the outlet of the straw blower. Awesome footage Chris

[@kymw7833]

Hey Chris another nice pond job,i was wondering when you were blading the back edge of the pond it looked quiet a sharp angle how do you know if its to much angle asin (rolling the dozer) i asked dirt perfect he said its built into the seat ,do you agree😅😅 IT ALWAYS LOOKS DANGEROUSLY STEEP HERE AT HOME Kym AdelAIDE

[@markpashia7067]

And now Brian prays for rain to come gently. Once the green grass grows he will want downpours to fill the lake faster. Hope he gets the soft and gentle to establish the grass and get erosion control in place.

[@mikehunt3222]

When you said you had a long way to go all I could think of was that Jerry Reed song for Smokey and the Bandit, “East Bound and Down”. I got a long way to go and a short time to get there. 😂

[@josephcarino5829]

That guy never saw you pick up a beer bottle with an excavator

[@markintexas9258]

Hey Chris, that mole on your left arm seems to have changed color over time, you might want to get it checked out.

[@kayenicholls5473]

111 good Sunday morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day we have a fine day in Tasmania ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chosen1one930]

Think you may buy a bigger dump truck eventually?

[@heidibal255]

Thank you 👍

[@chrisbarr1359]

Just wondering, do you ever put in rural dry fire hydrants?

[@plschwartzx]

How soon til you start missing that big truck?

[@MichaelHolloway]

and on the seventh day he rested

[@MichaelHolloway]

Nope, one more day. Looking spectacular!

[@FinnMarisasa]

Questo video è così divertente che persino il mio bollitore si è ribollito dalle risate🌺

[@BenSymington]

[@Ronbergshoeff-m8i]

No1 ❤😂

[@Sean-i4r]

Instead of tracking in the whole backside of the dam, why don't you just seed it Hay mulch it,and then roll it? rolling It drives it down into the top soil and gives the seed something to hold on to and my opinion. You wasted a lot of time, money and effort. Tracking it in just for the grass seed. When clearly all you have to do is roll it after it's mulched with hay

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Looked like straw to me. Just saying cus if you don’t know the difference between hay or straw then you don’t know much at all.

[@mattmanyam]

Tracking makes horizontal lines to prevent water erosion.

[@michaelmartt8899]

Don't think you can roll on the side of a hill

[@Treeman1177]

​@@donaldtriumph1682your name tells me you don't know much so that's that's

[@jeremysmith6905]

You know nothing about erosion and preventing it.
