Minnow Pond Is Finished!

[@kens.3729]

I’m sure the Minnows will Love their New Pond with ALL the Beautiful Scenery around them. 👍

[@pamgouker6646]

Wow I bet as a young boy you spent hours in your sand box. Love it!

[@pnwRC.]

Them off road trucks sure are a blast to operate! I got to run one for the first time on Monday. It was a welcome relief from the daily grind of running up & down the freeway ALL day!

[@terryrogers1025]

Looks nice, finished, completed, and cared for.

[@jamesw95]

Nice work Chris, thanks for putting in the time to share it with us.

[@johnroberts8475]

The drone footage sure show's how much muck you cleaned from the pond Chris, should look nice once full and the grass has grown.

[@mac3801960]

" Looks alot better than what i started with " is a freaking understatment of your work !!! excellent job done again !!!

[@NathanVogt]

Pond looks great. The land owner will be happy to see how nice it looks.

[@leol1682]

Love the minnow pond videos .Thanks Chris .

[@jeffthomas6158]

This job is my favorite so far. Can’t wait to see what else you do to this property.

[@davidrobins4025]

It's always satisfying when a job is finished. Another great looking job.

[@derekinhawaii]

Letsdig18 to the rescue..... AGAIN.... Another job job right be the LETSDIG18 crew.. Well done everyone.

[@mojo6706]

Nice project! You do great work. And the way you warmed your chicken lunch, great idea!!

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have a great year.

[@andylarner3531]

I find it very relaxing watching you dig

[@thegoodearth7]

Been watching this one from the beginning. What a difference!!

[@mikeseguin6443]

Awesome job.Now that’s what the job should have looked like in the first place.👏🏼👏🏼👍🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@GARDENER42]

Looks great. Fantastic difference between the mess you "inherited" from the previous contractor & where you are now.

[@leroyaultmon2533]

Can’t wait to see the new thump on your Volvo & yes you did a great job Chris letdig18

[@iSTAYuGO]

Tim has a great teacher. Its great to see how things get done, thank you for your HQ video.

[@rickswanberg4995]

It is amazing how quiet the engine on the excavator is, I was not expecting to hear the slew motor whirring. Nice job.

[@stevecobb6001]

WOW what a great job. So want to see the final product when finished.

[@janwellington2982]

I'm liking this one a lot. What a fantastic space. That's a lot of loads taken out. Fantastic. Cornwall UK.

[@kirk467]

You are definitely a Pond Master, they always look great when you get finished! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GMBiorn]

Thank you, Chris for sharing; the drone footage served to provide an opportunity for each of us to eye the scope of the entire project. You are the best in providing excellent footage and an explanation of the work. Thanks again, look forward to seeing the continuing saga.

[@brockshields9336]

And now the real fun begins. The mess around the big pond that you showed us in your walking tour. Should keep you out of the bars for awhile. Nice tidy job. The minnows, turtles, and great blue herons, thank you.

[@kirk467]

Looks 100% better than when you got there the first day! Awesome job CHRIS!

[@lw7212]

Tim is always there when you need him Just talking about him and in no time the rock truck drives

[@Grumpy-Gdad]

Perfect length video! My day is made. Keep the camera 🎥 rolling

[@stevengullison5123]

Good evening you do awesome work

[@vids2002]

As always, it came out amazing. Great job and thanks for posting

[@lightningmacqueen4097]

Wow, boo, you are sooooo dang talented!!!

[@_iLLuSiv3_]

Nice job Chris, can't wait to see the finished site.

[@donbraden8533]

Now it looks like a pond nice job guys 😎👍👍

[@mr.brooks3748]

Man you are good at your job. I watched this whole project

[@chetthejet3896]

You guys do a great job and make it look easy while doing the job.

[@jbritt2549]

You've done a nice job. Looks great

[@michaelcarlson1528]

Great job on your videos! I have a request: Could you make a video on how you operate the backhoe, showing us the hand controls and the like, thank you!

[@ronaldgaska4480]

Nice mini minnow pond. Once again nice work.

[@johnnyholland8765]

If you make the rest of the job look that good (and I am sure it will) the owner will get what he should have gotten the first time around. Good quality work...........

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Most impressive you always exceed in making things extra special

[@tuffywarner586]

Love his videos, he's a very good equipment operator. Reminds me when I was a kid, I would watch heavy equipment for hours.

[@woodcutter6235]

Looks good. You did some Excellent grading

[@farmerbob4554]

Good work Chris. Ya made the minners happy!

[@BuddyCastille]

Man... that looks amazing!.. when you first showed that minnow pond it was a complete disaster to say the least.. you really do good work.. another awesome job.. thanks for sharing.

[@TL64329]

Nice video. Very enjoyable to watch. Love the drone view.

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

Pride in your work, that’s what I like to see. 👍

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Well, that sure looks a heck of a lot better than the mess you inherited! The owners must be pleased!

[@ianrtilley]

Great job, well done , Ian from England

[@colrad0710]

Looks great as usual! What a nice piece of property.

[@gardenman3]

That would make wonderful soil for somebody's garden.

[@scruffy6151]

Minnor pond is looking good well done Chris.

[@derrickpettit3489]

Looks good Chris, alot of mud, the bigger mess is about to start with big pond, hopefully all those gum trees are not in mud, time will tell, thanks for sharing.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Another great video Chris, you and Tim y’all can damn sure get it done so y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming brother

[@shammi8133]

I like the way your pond looks like it could have naturally happened then you fly over the other side and well ya

[@richardgrimm3777]

L

[@leroysmith5074]

hell 0f alot better looking vary nice the fish will love ther new home good job off to the next one

[@SingleStacked]

Nice! Would be cool to come back in a year and see it.

[@Todd.Roberts]

That looks 100% better than when you first got started

[@evilbrat5376]

Just stating the obvious - looks gooooodd! As usual Chris a great job done.

[@themorganator]

Love the drone shots at the end Chris! what a beautiful location!

[@GitDwn]

Addicted to your content! Something satisfying about watching you dig. I think on the parts of the video where it’s just digging and you’re not commentating you should time lapse it and just stop to commentate or when something changes

[@NPCPUnitedSolar]

A thing of beauty compared to where you started. Very clean.

[@burbunator]

Your content is great man. Can tell you’re putting a lot of workin into it. My favorite video EVER is years and years ago when you were running a long reach that was backwards and it was making you cuss. Literally laughed out loud.

[@gayle4804]

Is a professional thru in thru it through congratulations on another accomplishment

[@johnertel2957]

Nice job! Like the way your dumped less material in the center of the draw and more on the outer edges of it. Grading it out will more efficient while keeping the existing contours of the field. It’s easy to see the knowledge and experience you have in this line of work. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.

[@jenkins2162]

That minnow pond will turn into a thriving ecosystem that will include every species of fish in the larger pond.

[@billwilliams9527]

Chris you are good, fantastic/awesome job, assume you are booked up since you are so freaking good at what you do.

[@RagsdaleCreek]

Another awesome job! God bless Stay safe

[@mentalsid3701]

You do a FINE job mate!!!!!!

[@imchris5000]

man in a few years that will be some top grade dirt

[@davidpontius7031]

Would you mind explaining to me why that dirt would be better than any other dirt? Other than how it is in fairly neat rows, I don't know why that dirt would be more desirable than anything one could dig out of the ground elsewhere.

[@imchris5000]

@@davidpontius7031 its all black topsoil

[@Cp3_james]

@@davidpontius7031 At my old house the clay wasn't even 100mm (4 inches) from the surface level. The material in the piles he's made is a mix of silt and top soil/leaf mulch so would have a lot of neutrance in it

[@rajbeekie7124]

@@davidpontius7031 The silt in ponds tend to be topsoil that is washed into rivers and ponds. Topsoil is generally your richest soil. This is why the deltas cased by flooding is rich for crops.

[@Skorpychan]

@@davidpontius7031 Thick, black dirt full of organic matter, and with nitrogen not yet stripped out by crops. It's also going to be nice and deep in that little valley there, so there's plenty of drainage. The bits of wood still in it will also bring plenty of worms, and the soil is already aerated by being scooped around a bunch before being dumped, and it's completely un-compacted so there's plenty of gaps for roots. Come back in a month, and those strips will be covered in grass and weeds.

[@raywilson800]

Even out in that water that deep now your tracks sound like they are on solid ground so l guess all that mud was because of the last guys mess. Unbelevable! Some people have more nerve than a burglar. Really great job! KEEP diggin😎

[@michaelmullins1290]

Material moving machine. That road got a workout for sure. Almost 7 rows of mud. Plenty to spread out one day.

[@johnelliott6738]

Nice job, Chris!

[@kirk467]

That’s a hell of a lot of mud that came out of there! lol

[@HughzieTube]

The base of that road isn't up to much! I bet the owner will end up grading it out regularly in the winter months if its used frequently.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Looks good 👍

[@kenjett2434]

Beautiful work

[@mischef18]

Sure a big difference to what you started with bro, that mud you moved should be very fertile for growing. Stay safe

[@csnelling4]

Great job Chris👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧

[@pjs5191]

Nice work Chris. Sucks you don’t get to do the fun boulder work around the riser pipe. At least to me the boulder work would be fun, of course I’m a landscaper and enjoy the excavating and boulder stuff both. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Nice video as always!

[@donaldaustin8679]

As always great job Chris

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

save the stumps for fish habitat, they love it... you did a pretty good job turning a swamp into a pond... and it look like they needed all that mud out in the field to give them more arable land.

[@michealmartin8565]

Looks good chris

[@johnthomson9558]

The owner must be over the moon with the progress you made in such a short time

[@ArizVern]

It's surprising how efficient you are moving large quantity of material.

[@gnatlywings9088]

You must not have seen his video's on the BIG pond he did a while back. :) This is small potatoes, although the second part of this project looks pretty hefty.

[@MrSciara024]

Well ya, it’s his job.

[@gman8260]

Great job considering what the previous "pond builder" left you with when you started. Surprised the owner didn't get the contractor who was going to do the wing wall in there to get that knocked out when you were on other jobs.

[@walterscharff8003]

previous guy was a lever puller not on operator

[@stefanaxelsson513]

It looks great Chris

[@cartmanjmq]

You make it look easy

[@mickenoss]

I find it funny that these big butch vehicles have little horns that go peep! =)

[@paulcraig169]

Used to heat our meals the same way in the Army.Once in a while someone would forget to put relieve hole in can goods,messy.

[@williamschenectady2882]

I'm jealous. You dig all day and I didn't see a rock. Here we can't dig a scoop without finding a New England "potato"!

[@12jeeplover]

That is a good bit of dirt/mud that came from that little pond.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I do hope the old contractors are watching this. They are more likely holed up in a saloon bar somewhere, with their excavators tied up at the hitching rail outside. Sooner or later the swing doors are going to open, and Chris will mosey into the bar. The piano will stop playing, and all heads will turn towards the door. If they are lucky, Chris won't have Charlie and his automatic with him, and Chris will just tell them to get out of town. When they make toward the hitching rail and their excavators, Chris will tell them that ain't gonna happen, and tell them to 'get walking'.

[@landoncravens9520]

I'd like to compare fuel efficiency when you're operatingto when someone else is operating. Your movement is so fluid and calculated

[@thomasyerbey337]

Another great video Chris 🇺🇲

[@darh772]

Looks good now Chris!

[@artyart31]

What a difference 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Nice done. Will see what's next? Cheers!

[@anytractorman]

Nice job Chris!

[@kenthest4849]

Love this project! :) And digging that silt looks nice whens its this semi dry. Any excavator operator that has a favourite material to dig? this must be on the top 5 materials I imagine .
