"Sound's like DP" love it... I would love to see this project working during a heavy storm.

[@danielcollier4401]

think a lot of us would like that

[@stevekline3383]

As do I.

[@ringstinga]

Very tidy work indeed Chris/John, Great to watch the complete project from start to Finnish ! And you were grinning from ear to ear when you said about the clanging bucket and Dirt Perfect 🤣😂🤣 Respect from Scotland.

[@IR-nq4qv]

I gotta say Chris, I've been watching you for a long time and never seen someone so much on the same page as your uncle John, you guys don't even have to speak and still know what needs to be done next, you work awesome together even without speaking or direction, , thought I should mention it and give credit where its due.

[@coldcaribbean]

Totally agree. I wish @letsdig18 would interview his uncle on a video.

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

1: Years of experience together 2: magic of editing....

[@General_Confusion]

For a few seconds there during the time-lapse, I'm sure i saw Chris with a shovel in his hand. He must have borrowed it from someone.

[@FishFind3000]

Must be a a long lost twin or an imposter. Blink twice if your under duress!

[@John13Edge]

Someone must of paint Volvo on the side of the shovel 😉

[@dalecherry4044]

He he's the biggest one in his hands all day long.

[@kennykenlein4716]

That was a stand in!

[@kevinmountford4541]

Was he leaning on it.?

[@jiggsborah7041]

I'm a mechanic... I just love that gentle touch... operators destroy machines. Good stuff..I like watching your videos

[@mib20000]

operators destroy machines because they dont own them. when you spend $100k plus you tend to take care of your machines

[@thejacobhill]

Operators who don't foot the repair bill I'm guessing..

[@george8873]

Dunno if you follow C&C Equipment on here, but they've been repairing a dozer where the operator was pulling logs at a 90 degree angle to the winch and ended up destroying the winch, causing 10s of thousands of dollars worth of damage. There was so much torque/pressure that it practically ripped the winch housing off the back of the dozer and made the drive shaft look like corkscrew pasta. Also messed up other stuff. It's a mess and was all because of operator error.

[@marcryvon]

@@george8873 Who's looking for a new job, propably. Hopefully ?

[@koldsteele]

Theres Operators and then theres Wreckmasters

[@TheHillbillyEngineer]

Nice Job Chris and John! Rock On!....I laughed so loud that I startled my wife when you were talking about the clankin' bucket and dirt perfect. :)

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris the finished job is beautiful, you and John work together like a well oiled machine! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@patgregory3413]

Hard work

[@williamgraham8809]

That was a low blow to Dirt Perfect, but he would expect nothing less!

[@harveylong5878]

chris has been hanging around DP and DieselCreek too much, their quirks are rubbing off on Chris. when Chris ends up sticker bombed , you know he's been around DP too long ;p

[@deernutOO]

Great to watch the precision work being done by Chris. Envious of your talent and line-up of great equipment.

[@jdsparky288]

“Sounds like Dirt Perfect over here, heh,heh,heh,heh” That cracked me up bud!

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Clinging and clanging……lol and DID DP catch that….lol…Chris just lite the match….lol..Best two Excavating Guys in NC and IN…..lol nice job Chris

[@dalandamcgee8752]

I would love to see this overflow in action, I can't imagine the volume with those four pipes. Do you think you could ever bring us back when there is a HEAVY DOWN POUR?

[@koldsteele]

That would be Sweet

[@rabidbigdog]

Was about the comment the same. I'd love to see the flow that causes the need for these four pipes.

[@cheskydivision]

A rainy day follow up like Shawn from Gates city foundation. That would be something to see.

[@craigwavra3495]

Enjoyed this series!! Always good to see the spillway get it’s rock!! Makes it look finished the way you lock it in. Agree, time to change out the pin on the bucket!

[@godsdozer]

Hey letsdig18, from a fellow dirt contractor its nice to see another contractor always giving their customers top notch work. I've been doing this since 1991 and not many make their jobs look like yours (and mine). Excellent work my friend your attention to detail is fabulous. For those who are not familiar with dirt work, not every customer wants this high quality work, so they choose the lowest bidder.............. we love those customers too, because we get to make more money fixing those errors at a later date.

[@davidmerryman5565]

You know you have to revisit this when it is flowing. I would like to see how much water is going through them

[@hphillips7425]

I will be glad when the bucket is fixed also. I don’t think you hear thunder it’s the bucket rattling and clanging Looks good 👍🏻

[@jackiesiebrass3321]

Super productive job...tell John we love him..hes such a hard worker like you...hope the owner loves that professional job...

[@Brian-wq6oi]

That is a sweet looking repair. Great work.

[@itzmikeomg2755]

You have a talent for making your work look really good.

[@hentycatsanctuary2951]

A spillway fit for hoover dam job looks amazing well done great video,s , thanks for sharing them to us cold guys in Australia, i got the fire on and you all running around in shorts damm

[@thomasmalone9929]

Chris it saddens me to you ,that you lost a viewer this week. My dad turned 90 on June 10th he passed on the 14th. When I would visit him I pull up your latest videos. He was inspired by your many talents. He said he would really love to run that cable machine again. He was like you with equipment he just thought it done.

[@farmerbill6855]

Thomas, I'm sorry for your loss. It's a tough time I know.

[@dennis2376]

Sorry for your loss.

[@letsdig18]

Sorry for your loss Thomas

[@catherinefoster2517]

Sorry for your loss Thomas

[@jraydelatorre]

That was hilarious sounds like dirt perfect

[@anthonycutler2105]

It's almost like a guy's making art with heavy equipment, damn does that end result look good!

[@barryhansen6854]

Are you ever worried about the contractors coming in behind you trenching cable ruining all your beautiful work, would seem a shame if they did? Great job as always Chris.

[@letsdig18]

The homeowner will keep them straight

[@Chris-wh2gy]

@@letsdig18 chris you have a troll that cloned your channel its under letsdig180

[@anthonypalumbo7883]

As always Great Job I would really like to see this in action just the magnitude of water coming out would be a site to see. And dirt perfect doesn't cling clang it squeals. LOL

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Wow what a Hugh difference! Looks fantastic Chris, you and John do an awesome job. Doesn't look like the same place

[@glennwolfe1663]

Chris, the spillway looks awesome👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing this project😺🤗🐺

[@danielr1615]

This job was a work of art. Skill and knowledge go a long way.

[@randybourdon2791]

Impressive job, congrats to you and John!

[@coldcaribbean]

Love the videos, and for some reason, I love the sound of that riprap pouring out of the bucket!

[@IR-nq4qv]

25:17 "God I'll be happy when that wobbly-assed bucket gets fixed...clinging and clanging..., sounds like Dirt Perfect over here...[chuckle] DP: Paint and maintenance don't make money...

[@harveylong5878]

well to be fair, DP did have the wider track pads put on the 850J, and he did paint the tile plow

[@IR-nq4qv]

@@harveylong5878Its fair to say the tile plow was fabbed from raw metal, he had no choice but to paint it. the wider tracks were added because he needed the traction for the plow, look at bubba dump, Lt.Dan still not completed and the rest of his equipment, all rode hard and don't bother to clean any of it, if it still works "Run it" is DP's motto. DP's videos are months old so that goes to show how much initiative he has. To be more fair...Chris is just as busy and he still finds the time to clean and service all his equipment, plus put out new videos 6 out of 7 days a week.

[@george8873]

Cracked me up when you mentioned Dirt Perfect and noisy buckets, lol. Anyway, the job turned out great.

[@wilburroth5150]

You two guys work very well together. As always, nice work!!

[@grumpyg9350]

So organized. Beautiful work!👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@michaelbraga9620]

Have a nice weekend maestro! A true master on the sticks!!

[@gregmattes8053]

25:25 we will have to wait 8 weeks to hear his response… 😅

[@harveylong5878]

or on DP's FB or Instagram sooner. now we just need Mr.worksalot to stir the pot some more lol

[@kittty2005]

Yeah, speaking of rain D.P. is about a month behind you on uploads and his latest is using his new tile plow in a rainstorm plowin' through mud and rocks, the 850J looks sad it's a dirty piggy.LOL

[@mannymercado716]

klinkadeekliink, sounds like DIRT PERFEECT IN HERE LMFAO!!!

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

nice plug about Mike.. lol but you don't have super cool dozer plow. lol

[@Vickie-Bligh]

You make it look easy when it's anything but! Nicely done and yeah if all 4 discharge fully, what a sight that would be!

[@jwdickinson643]

I hope dem fishes have enough instinct to stay away from the inlets otherwise their life is gonna get pretty rocky.

[@DMAN10]

Excellent job as usual Chris! Shots fired with the DP comment! 😂😂😂

[@TheWolfster001]

LMBO.. Your not Talking about Mr. Dirt Perfect are ya??? LOL.. Loved the project.. Thank you for sharing...

[@kennykenlein4716]

Chris i know what a perfectionist you are-not a bad thing-but isn’t that wobbly ole bucket driving you crazy?

[@CEG3RD]

Another interesting project with a nice looking finish!

[@JerichoRally]

Lol the bucket might sound like DP, but at least your window ain't shattered... mirror busted...oil leaking ( ok, so your 220 just had a leak but that's different)... and filthy dirty.

[@kittty2005]

@25:25 That's the funniest thing you've said in a while, made me chuckle, I just said a couple minutes ago the bucket was sounding like the 120's, but we know it's a budgetary item, when you can you will get it fixed.

[@rondastump8930]

Loved this video, thankful to get to watch all!!! Big project with many different facets. Looks amazing and impressive! Thank u so much for video, so interesting to watch and follow. God's blessings and take care of yourself!!!

[@polytaz]

Hi Mr Letsdig18, I am sure Mr DP will like the mention 🤫🤫 Have you still not changed them bucket pins yet ??? 🤣🤣

[@dwb73]

I've learned to be skeptical of my own reservations when I look at some of your engineering plans. That 30" 4 culvert system so close to the surface looks very wash-out-able. But, in the end, your jobs seem to always seem to turn out flawless and work perfectly!

[@mikeweagle5523]

Chris, I love the respect and confidence John has in you. He walks around in the area you are working with the machine seemingly oblivious. He has complete confidence in your ability! Nice job. your client should be pleased.

[@leol1682]

Love this job you ave done Chris and John .

[@jamesconner8275]

Chris handles that bucket as skillfully as a surgeon's scalpel.

[@bongobill2000]

Been there done that ! Absolutely know what your feeling with that bucket !! P.S. 👍 on the DP !!

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Ha!! “ All that clinging n clanging….” - and that’s how the feud started..😂 Job looks so nice it needs some purty wild flowers growing.

[@heatherlane9270]

Looks great - lots of different elements to this project - should last for many years. Dirt Perfect bucket rattle - funny comparison.

[@williamd6967]

LMAO dirt perfects bucket ant in that good of shape.

[@MrJiblack]

That compactor wheel always reminds me of a garden tiller my dad used to have for some reason lol

[@matthewcloud112]

Great video Chris if that job is close to home it would be great to see it working in a flood condition 👍 😀

[@Stubby0266]

Nice work ! Need to return to this site when the spillway is in action. Be neat to see.

[@TinyHouseHomestead]

ONUD! BAMMED DP! 😱😁🙃🤪🤣👍✌

[@garyschweighardt7725]

After the DP bucket comment you had a grin on your face for about five minutes!

[@thomasbrown9047]

Love the videos and as always keep up the great work!!

[@georgebryant2940]

For two jobs in a row you feature your uncle in your video, great to see y’all working together. I know you have said in some of your Dirt Perfect interviews that y’all work in tandem on jobs and now we see that in these last couple jobs. Nice to see.

[@JCrook1028]

Yea this is a job of John's company. Other jobs are Chris on his own company.

[@donnamullins2089]

Impressive as usual. Thanks for the Dirt Perfect chuckles that was funny. Now get that bucket fixed. Have a great weekend.

You got that thunderstorm cus dp heard ya make that comment about the wobbly bucket 😂👍

[@3632304]

Chris, that is an awesome job you done on that spillway. Hope the compliments don’t make your head swell too much but every video I watch that you share are done so damn good. Clean and tidy. I love how you role brother

[@billwilliams9527]

You did a fantastic job designed by those 'cereal box engineers'. I do say, that overflow would drain the Panama Canal. You reckon DP is watching? :-)

[@ja5onl6]

Allot of what you do impresses me but I'm still in awe every time I watch you grade out a driveway on a skidsteer. I can't get 10' on a skidsteer flat. Maybe you need to do a how-to series!

[@MayaPosch]

Still feels like the engineer on this design went for a 300% tolerance margin, maybe in case all but one of the pipes get clogged, but no such thing as overkill with spillways, right? Final result looks absolutely stunning, would love to know how it performs and holds up long term. Maybe a revisit opportunity in a year or so? :)

[@jeremys959]

Now I want to see this spillway in action

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That turned out really good. Nice job! They'll be happy. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

I'm sorry but Dirt Perfect doesn't fo finesse! 😉

[@patcrow_gawker5494]

Designed to move lots of water. I sure wouldn't want to be downstream when the spillway is flowing. Thanks for the lessons, professor. You're a master of your craft.

[@Tntdruid]

Now the phone company going to dig up the road?

[@RobertKohut]

Too funny.. "sound like Dirt Perfect here"... 🙂

[@bullittdog4352]

I was literally thinking how damn sloppy the pins/bushings were on the 220 and Chris voiced his displeasure with that wobbly ass bucket. This sure seems like a lot of overflow for that pond but I’m guessing it will be the last time anybody needs to worry about it.

[@markshietze4783]

Lol I'm gonna wager Dirt Perfect is Proud of his wobbly-azz bucket 😛🤪😜

Thats a LOT of water drainage in those big pipes, would love to see all those pipes flowing about 1/2 full
