Tim was a Solid Employee and was very versatile with the different equipment and hard working.👍

[@robnorwood4419]

Good luck to Tim. Hope he finds everything he's looking for.

[@bboomer7th]

That chain wrap on the T-post was a thing of beauty. Solo operator. A little rhythm. No muss or fuss.

[@kb7722]

Best of luck to Tim. He seems like a good hard worker. I'm sure he'll do well.

[@winsurfer123]

I'm sure he left you guys in a lurch, but my old boss once told me "Never hold anyone back when they have an opportunity. Wish them well and get back to business".

[@lawrenceaderneck7165]

the new boss always promises more than they deliver , before you know it your just like all the rest of em good luck Tim

A look into the crystal ball shows a seat for Winston in the Excavator and a ladder for him to get in the cab !

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Would be nice if I lived close over your way. I’m retired and would help ya anytime you need me, for free. Once you get to a certain age, its not always about the money.

[@cookiehuman7745]

Stephen Keefer it’s not an age it just it’s enjoyable to do what you want to do

[@ajc7166]

@@cookiehuman7745 You got that right

[@jadofar]

It would be nice to see all of these ponds after they fill back up and the grass back to growing.

[@kevinfinney8849]

nice job on the "T" post pulling!

A Chain Reaction

[@marcryvon]

Had to have the wife see him doing that. " So..." she goes. Duh ! Women ! Impressive. Chris I mean. Not her...

[@jonasgoodman8588]

Why do it bey hand when you have a mini-x

[@MyThailandLife]

Never get off the equipment,... Never!!!!!!

[@GARDENER42]

Thanks for the update on Tim - you & he appeared to be reaching the point where one knew what the other needed without verbal interchange - always a good thing.

[@MarkCarpenterJr]

The machine doesn't make the man, the man makes the machine. Always impressed with your level os skill and knowledge, people assume all too often you just jump in and start slinging dirt.

[@formhubfar]

Thanks for clearing up the Timmy thing.

[@whateverittakes5580]

I bought a used tracked dump truck for my little farm.....it was only 30K with 950 hours. It hauls about 6-7 yards and is ridiculously handy. Keeps time off my skid steer and its way quicker in the long run.. To each his own....

[@larryboynton3853]

I am sad to see Timmy leave. I enjoyed him a lot. Wish for the best for Tim. He did leave for the right reason.

[@kens.3729]

This is the Project that Keeps on Giving us New Videos to Watch. 😬🍿 We really Appreciate it. 👍

[@cliffmorain7215]

Chris in all my years in heavy equipment I've never seen anybody pull fence stakes by them self before. You continue to amaze me with your skills. lol fun to watch.

[@RockBrigadeCommunityForum]

The amount of work you get done alone is pretty impressive and inspiring. Schools should bring you in to talk to their graduates. You are living proof of hard work and focus pays off long term. Thank You Chris

[@lucassanchez5560]

That mud road looked like a nightmare. I enjoyed seeing the completed project and walkthrough of it. Awesome work Chris!

[@HughzieTube]

2:32 'Wheres Timmy Answered! I bet people still keep asking for months to come!

[@ecafsinep]

Shoot, I'm still curious as to what ever happened to Cam

[@mastinfowler8225]

Thanks for the update on Timmy! 👍

[@timinsandiego6979]

I have to say... you do a damn good job. I'll never build a pond and won't use heavy equipment but I really love watching these videos.

[@dustnnoise2649]

Nice Job Chris! I appreciate you taking the time to explain the economics and thought process for those of us not in your field. Keep at it please!

[@brucelott3583]

Glad to hear Timmy left to better himself. Can't fault him for that. You'll find another good helper eventually. The trick with the chain was something to watch. Looked easy but I bet there aren't many who could do it. Job turned out great. It's nice not to leave it obvious you were there.

[@tigerspook1]

That is another very nice job done, can see why you are booked up well in advance Chris, a job very well done as always..

[@joebledsoe257]

Absolutely the coolest way I've ever seen for pulling those posts out.

[@Mephiston]

They really got their moneys worth with this job. You did a first class job, Chris. Nicely done.

[@dma216]

Thanks Chris for mentioning what happened to Tim. I don't read the comments because I usually watch your videos on my Roku. The comments are not available. I enjoy your videos.

[@pennyneal2456]

What a gorgeous area to live in. I bet it was bet that perfected the t-bar lasso. Quite the technique, Chris.

[@JSomerled]

Would be cool to see it again after it’s all grown back and green..Nice project..

[@fsj197811]

Nice trick using chain to remove the fence posts. And way to go on cleanup, well done!

[@ronaldmcallister6091]

That was the slickest I’ve seen for pulling up post. Well played sir well played

[@pc650]

Oh boy!!!...wondering where Tim has been (thought he went back home for vacation).....Good luck Tim!!!!

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

That mat does make a nice squeegee and leaves a nice finish , your experience shows . At least you have got a dry week to clean up .

[@grahamallen3941]

Another fantastic job done again Chris. You must be sick of the sight of all that mud. It must be a royal pain in the butt when you get restricted to where and how you can get rid of all that mud.!! Pity you could not get a long reach in there to get that mud out . Take care, be safe Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

[@Ironhorse41]

Great video, you taught me a new trick with the snig chain and pulling warratahs nice one thank you. Statement of the week - "Smear it around and wish it the best" - love that comment. Love your work as always cheers from NZ

[@justinmills8084]

I like it when a person takes that much pride in their work.

[@tomswindler64]

As always great job.if I lived there I know that I would enjoy that area even more so since you cleaned and rebuilt it.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@lidsman2221]

Turned out super nice. When I saw that hey blower all I could think about was how much I would be sneezing if I was around that. I probably would end up in the hospital. Haha. Thanks for the video.

[@crkproductions5000]

Man watching you wrap a chain around a spike using nothing but the bucket was poetry in motion. Wow.

[@stevecobb6001]

WOW 'T' post removing was amazing. What a great job. So would like to see this project when it has grown back in. Cheers form the UK!

[@anjaandmichael]

That chain trick pulling post....awesome tip!

[@dennis2376]

Wow your skill and knowledge of your machines amazes me! I never knew how much work was involved with a job like this, thank you for sharing and recording.

[@cirithduath7526]

I do love that the audio is good enough that you can here the Valves moving in the Hydraulic Assemblies. ASMR dirtwork.

[@charlesgall8052]

That silt fence "post pulling" was amazing !!!

[@tomhanks8662]

Who ever hired timmy well atleast he was trained by one of the best and will have a little advantage out of his experiance vs most....Off to the next one.....

[@marcryvon]

Can't have a better road model than Chris ! No other way of doing things but the RiGHT way ! Thanks Chris !

[@lerkzor]

Finishing a job is a satisfying feeling. Just finished one today myself, 'one more for the books' as they say. I do construction - exterior finishes on homes - and it's just me and the boss, so I understand the situation Tim found himself in. I wish him good fortune - and for you also, I am always delighted to see another video from you. Oh, and that trick with wrapping the chain around the T-posts : very nice, I would have never thought to even try that. Your experience is showing!

[@JoeBribem]

I don't watch every video you produce, so even if I did read ALL of the comments I wouldn't have seen what happened to Timmy. Beautiful job on this mud hole, it was a pleasure to watch all of the episodes.

[@thomasrichardson7865]

Timmy will make you proud. When you get the feedback on how good of a worker he is. You pulling them steaks up was like a elephant pulling up grass to eat.

[@mslorry3420]

Another big job done. Satisfying to stand back and just admire your work. Thanks for chatting with us I had no idea the little track dump is so expensive to purchase or even rent. Have a great evening!

[@rogertallentire2961]

Another job expertly completed. Well done Chris.✔

[@george8873]

Looks like it'll be impossible to get the area looking good again on these types of jobs while you're doing the jobs, but you always make it look great when you're done. That's a sign of a true craftsman who takes pride in his work. Well done Chris. Btw... using that chain to pull out the posts was brilliant.

[@seasleddoo1097]

Your skills are at a whole different level, amazing !

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

I figured something happened because your vids had a worrying tone. I wish Tim well,and I hope you have a great time with your new puppy. HES SO CUTE. BTY taking the poles out with the chain was amazing. YOUR THE BEST.👍🙏from fl.its hot as blaze's here.

[@richardsabean5781]

Man that takes pride in his work,, great job!

[@panamint]

Pulling those post was the slickest part of that job lol

[@robertforrest7956]

Really enjoy watching you Sling mud, dirt, soil or whatever....and WOW! You've been on KZbin for over 11 Years! 🤗 Back then you barely looked old enough to drive..😆. Watching you do some of the things you do with your equipment amazes me!! 😄.

[@MyTractorGuy]

Looked like you were drifting coming around that corner! Smooth moves on the chain pulling the fencing. You just saved my old Marine knees a lot of climbing in and out of the cab! 👍

[@larrymccready6778]

Mad skills on the mini removing the post.

[@dexhummer1]

Wow...just had to show them skillz off..lol. Now the letdig18 chain rope challenge is on. Awesome Chris. It has been a wet year in the state.

[@johncampbell6382]

Brilliant job Chris looks great 👍

[@jrand2631]

Nice job cleaning all that mud out, and restoring the place. 👍👍👍

[@Todd.Roberts]

Just throw me under the bus lol . Now last week as you was digging it out it was a sloppy mess and every bump it hit I had mud falling out of the bucket . That what you was taking out was a whole lot dryer lol

[@mykalmcb]

Thanks for letting us know about Tim. Best thing is now enough people know the story and we can answer the question for you.

[@dennisleadbetter7721]

That silt fence was certainly put to the test!

[@helenhelps9619]

Good luck to Tim. 👍 👍

[@drmautz]

Another quality project done. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

[@timlarcombe9096]

Somehow you manage to turn an unglamorous mud digging job into a precision work of art. Hypnotic viewing and very impressive. Not sure where your skills are as a machine operator as I have no others to base it on however for my part i would have to Mark you 10 out of 10, great job.

[@daviddesimone342]

Lovin my letsdig18 shits , thanks chris , your know your business better than anyone , keep the course

[@buckburton7318]

Good luck to Timmy, at some point in life a lot of us have a decision to make, it's either stay where it's comfortable or go where there's a better oportunity. Timmy had the best teacher in the business, I suspect he'll do well.

[@rookiefarmer702]

Hey Chris found your channel about a year ago and have had fun going through your videos. I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of a Tee Gee Grade Maker (Viking) we used them when I used to build golf courses here in Ontario Canada for cart paths and blending the greens mix. They work great for just about any material you need smoothed out. I thought you could use it for when you do the walking paths, we found it quicker than the mini. Keep up the great videos!!!

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

You're a one-man show with all the equipment other than your dump truck driver but God that was a hell of a job and it was a good one.👍👍😀🔥

[@Paul_n_Texas]

The heart beat of a business owner is the check book. It tells you what's going in and what's going out and how much is left over. The heart beat is much more reliable than the fans in the stands saying spend more money we need better players when you are already winning every game.

[@weswestmoreland4270]

I would have never thought you could pull t-posts like that. Show off. 👍👍

[@leonblittle226]

That should be a new LD18 shirt "where is timmy?" edition

[@Rickimusic]

lol

[@stephensmith3181]

Well Chris you have done a brilliant job there considering all that mud you have dreged out must have been a few tons very impressed with the clean up

[@johnnyholland8765]

I thought you were showing off when you plucked those posts out of that pond but the chain and post trick just puts you up a notch. Never fails the wins starts blowing when your trying to spread straw...

[@claytoneddy1502]

You've had a bunch of comments on this already Chris, but I'm gonna do it to. That one man tee post removal was beautiful man, love your new little buddy Winston, so does granddaughter & grandson thanks for sharing.

[@derrickpettit3489]

That rotator is awesome on your mini excavator Chris, just pulled that stuff right off that silt fence, good series of videos from this job, good work Chris

[@jeffcotton526]

We know that both John and you wish all the best for Tim! He gained valuable experience while he worked for your company.

[@charliee7142]

how bout a Timmy guest appearance now and then. we will love that ! we miss that old boy.

[@boogieman3165]

Pretty good trick with the chain pulling the rods out of the ground.

[@TodayzTomSawyer]

Genius way to pull up those poles!

[@charlesmiller5078]

Have you done a video on how you got started in this field of work, maybe some pictures of your first equipment purchases. Your very knowledgeable, you must of been doing this for awhile, and you like what you do.

[@VenomCultist500]

Looks awesome as always.. despite all the rain it looks like the bank off to the left at 13:40 is really dry! Must be great drainage!👌👍

[@agipesr]

You never cease to amaze me, I liked how pulled the post out with the mini!

[@timinsandiego6979]

Hahahaha... and pulling out those metal stakes. Seriously... quick and smart and fun to see

[@ohboy2118]

Neat party trick pulling the stakes with a chain 👍

[@ianmyles100]

Just when I thought I'd fathomed the full range of Chris' skills -- chain/posts: outrageous . . .

[@gregorybondi5220]

I know I wont get to do it myself, but I really did like the chain post pull. That just looked cool, and I cant believe you didnt get hung up letting them loose. Really nice skills...

[@mrdog8095]

Chain loopin the fence posts was great. Smooth as silk... nice job.

[@thomasstewart9368]

Like that post pulling trick. Most likely been done for years but I've not seen it done. Learned something today 👍

[@mikenixon9164]

You due nice work! Pretty cute with that chain pulling posts.

[@vaughnhill3437]

That wide bucket on that mini is a helluva tool for cleaning/dressing up the jobs after your on your way out.

[@waltermattson5566]

The job looks great.

[@arkansas1336]

Excellent results!

[@edmcwv]

Chris, That's pretty slick trick pulling metal post with a chain and bucket. I’ll have to try that next time I need to put some posts.

[@KyleMorpheus]

Tim was an awesome employee. Best of luck in his future!

[@alansmith4734]

I went to a Mud Race in Texas once! The trucks zoom by, you wait a few seconds while the mud falls down, then it splats on you! =O

[@barbarasmith8635]

That's always been my dream job to run a trackhoe I used to run One tearing down houses and loading trucks but the guy was a cheap ass and only wanted to pay 7.50 an hour and I had half hour training but didn't do to bad loading trucks that day but have to say you do some great work Best I ever seen

[@evilbrat5376]

Sorry bout Timmy. . . guess he had to do what he had to do though. The pond dredging area looks darn good after what you went through to get it dredged. Now on to bigger and better jobs. . . .

[@justbe4481]

Timmy is he working on that Hwy 26 widening from Hendersonville to Asheville North Carolina..!
