Laying Out And Digging Test Holes For A Possible Lake Build

[@davidepool5884]

I’m glad that you’re getting your new haul truck fixed now. It was an expensive fix but necessary. That’s one of the problems with buying used equipment. It should be in good shape to go to work for a long time before you have another breakdown. The borrow pit area looks fantastic. I’m looking forward to the pond build, it’s going to be a fun project to watch.

[@charleswelch249]

That place reminds me of you and Geoff. Like the never-ending job that keeps on giving. I can't wait to see you back building a pond again. I hope you weren't hit hard with this weather this weekend.

[@Todd.Roberts]

Can’t wait to watch the build of the lake .

[@lionelgardiner4408]

I really enjoy watching you do the pond builds Chris. So I'm hoping the land owner wants that big beautiful lake

[@gardenman3]

it will make a super lake

[@johnbeam-d3v]

You know i'm excited. Love the pond builds. Hope he decides to make it one big lake. Thanks for the ride.

[@heatherlane9270]

So good to see your business thriving LetsDig18 - you deserve it for all your hard work and commitment to excellence especially pleasing the customers. Another pond expansion is proof of this. The fleet numbers increase are testament to this as well. Always a pleasure to watch thank you.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

I call your 350 The Father In Law Machine because he was missing a thumb too 😂 Wow! You got that pit flat as a pool table. Nice job

[@ryanhoward1013]

Hi Chris, I'm glad they're getting the haul truck fixed, and the same owner has a big job for you to do. That job will be a great job to do, which will help pay for the repairs on the truck. I'm glad he has deep pockets to have a beautiful pond and beautiful fields. He has the best of everything, including you, Chris. You are the best at building ponds and roads and everything you do. Thanks for sharing, Chris, and God bless you, and please be safe.

[@bbrcummins1984]

Whata great customer 👍 the man definitely has total faith in you.

[@paulcooper9135]

That pond/lake would be an amazing series to watch! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@ronaldheit196]

Awesome to hear there's another gimungous pond build coming up soon on Chris's Letsdig18 channel. Kind wish he'd have let us watch him dozing off the clay and dump pit. It definitely ended up looking like he hadn't even dug in that area.

[@dennis2376]

Wow I did not think that that mess would turn out so well. :) Did not remember the pond until you explained it. This pond project is going to be interesting. Wow you got a lot going on! What a beautiful day.Thank you and have a great week.

[@applianceman6194]

I love pond projects. Hopefully Fred is up to the task and no more surprises.

[@rockymatthews8643]

Oh boy, another pond. I love to watch you work on, or build a pond.

[@haroldhawkins9370]

Nice video Chris. If you get to build the pond the way you had it mapped out, that will be a huge project, hope you get to build it.

[@erneststewart9117]

I’ve been looking forewarn to you building another dam and large lake, I like seeing how you put it all together and do a very professional job.

[@tsparky236]

At least no bees this time, at least right now? Love the channel and thank you for bringing us along on your adventures sir!!

[@billwilliams9527]

Chris, you are freaking amazing. Job to job mapping it out in your mind. Your future is assured, of course you already know that. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelabowling7959]

Wow so happy to hear a new lake you have to go back and see bushcommando that lake is so beautiful can’t wait to see to see this one transform Yeah 🎉

[@billmoore1421]

Hope that reman transfer case gets the haul truck up & going for a long time! 🤞🤞

[@greggd3351]

Really appreciate seeing the rough sketch of the pond layout. It's tough for me to picture a project from just a verbal description.

[@GARDENER42]

That looks like it'll make a fantastic pond/lake.

[@huggy1712]

Hi Chris my wife and I are looking forward to the new pond build it’s going to be huge and fun to see you build it plus it’s a good thing Fred is getting fixed it’s going to be needed on this job.

[@johnroberts8475]

idk Chris from what I can see on my screen this one may go quicker than others you have built, can't wait to see you have fun. 👍

[@dirtfarmer7472]

This customer is going to be a good customer to have almost as good as Bealy Thank you Sir for this video

[@chuckwalton5471]

That pond project looks big enough to bring the D-7 outa storage make sure it holds up while it's still under C&C warnty.

[@DukeOfTwist]

2 Dozers, 2 Excavators, 2 Dump Trucks = time to call all your mates in. Could also involve some YT colab days, @DirtPefect, C&C Equipment, CottonTop, MrDigg, ScrappyIndustries, DieselCreek and love to see Charlie make an appearance.

[@jdh395]

Wow your transfer case even comes painted yellow .....that's pretty

[@5914DL]

Big ass lake project, big new excavator, big haul truck, I think the mystery is no more :)

[@donmiller8186]

Even'n, All. Always got a give ya a like every time I log on here, Mr Chris.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

That's gonna look so good. Having a larger haul truck will come in handy, and like the deep pond you made when you rented the Hyundai truck, having 2 will really move dirt. This looks exciting, Chris. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Oh boy, oh boy another pond build!! Let the 350 & Fred shine!! 👏👏👏💯💯👏👏👏

[@paigesuttles7093]

Love A Pond Build ❤

[@tomblanton4726]

I’m looking forward to the 350 and ginormous bucket working on a pond/lake. 🙏

[@nandi123]

The new lake looks like a good D7 project.

[@kanenmoffett9539]

Can't wait for the lake build Chris

[@rockman531]

Must be nice to have a perpetual customer! You might get done in 2 or 3 years...maybe?? Everything is looking wonderful!! Thumbs up! Safety first! You can be the first to build an 8 foot snowman! Jim

[@alive6517]

Hope they want the big lake, either way. going to be fun to watch.

[@charlessmyth]

[0:42] Nice finish on the replacement box. Maybe give the truck a good work out on the proposed pond job to be sure the truck's now good-to-go.

[@robertboissey2758]

Like to see you build a pond with your D6 and D7 and your loader. That would be awesome.

[@nigelhales874]

Staying with same farm I remember you clearing the pond a year ago there about chris .. + Fred the Volvo dump truck Will be working hard extra drivers maybe best regards with this I will definitely be watching has all ways bud thanks 👍

[@leolarocque-v5v]

Hop that Pond work for you and the truck works Great .

[@toddincabo]

👍 20k OOOOUUUCH ! Better send Robert out on inspection duty next purchase.

[@Machines-TV]

nicely project thank you for sharing

[@peterouellette3874]

Good thinking on the hose deal, nice, Chris

[@keithdunlap2701]

Dammit Man !! 20 G's.. Ya make it, and it goes back out faster than it's coming in sometimes !! lolol... Man, That will be one hell of a Lake there !! Like you said, but, it will be Beautiful back in there... We just got about 7 in of Snow here Yesterday in Western Ky., and a damn Ice Strom before that one !! I don't blame ya, i'd rather get those hoses fixed now too !! lolol...Great as Always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !! Hope they got "Fred" up and running good for ya !!

[@daviddavis6855]

I think you made the right move or decision!

[@terryrogers1025]

Dig lake! Hope it works out, means Fred’s going to get a work out, get a little of that invested cash back, or at least pay for the transport to/ from job site anyway, the 350 and Fred, should be a good series I would think, thanks for the update, enjoy watching.

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Snow is beautiful but messy. Be safe

[@kayenicholls5473]

Good morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day we have rain here in Tasmania and thunderstorms ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

350 and two trucks gonna be bailing dirt like crazy

[@davidkozuch6095]

Wow 😮 that's a lot of money 💰 but it's worth to fix the haul truck 😊 and hello from Hamburg NY

[@donnamullins2089]

Need your sunglasses on this frozen morning. Oh goody a pond build. Can't wait. Bummer more hoses you can't live without them. Do you ever get to sleep-in on snowy mornings Chris? I guess not. Someone has to make all the payments on this equipment. Are you filming snow removal? Thanks for the video.

[@robertboissey2758]

Pond build I’m excited

[@markpashia7067]

Hey Chris, can you build the new section a bit deeper and then open it up to drain the old pond completely? If so you could then just push the mud around in the bottom of the old pond to quickly dredge it. Thinking push the mud to the current dam and use the 350 to bail it over to the backside of the dam to let it sit and dry out. Minimal hauling. That was kind of a swampy area behind the dam anyway. Just a thought.

[@steveminton8329]

Hopefully the pond/lake will happen 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@roseannvolrath2271]

Good morning Chris😊❤

[@glennspreeman1634]

That would be an awesome project!! Should help pay off the haul truck repair, maybe Barney and Fred could be a team?

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

Yaba-Daba-Dough! Fred's back in the game. I've noticed your builds have gone from the word pond to lake as they get bigger & deeper. The customer is going to make Geoff jealous by taking up all your time.

[@doritleis2773]

The Test for a Lake building. This Areal is very good Appropriate for a great Lake building. Then You must not great Dsm to build if You thr Lake make in the Low laying the Earth Test have very good Result make. It's to hope that You the Order for this Lake to get. Thanks for this Video

[@ronperry7313]

Chris has a damn good attitude about spending $20k+ on his new used truck. Sure he ain't happy about it.

[@krising25]

Drop in the bucket when a new one is half a mil

[@daltonfreant2000]

You should do a hauling video with the f450 showing your routine on hauling the dozer and stuff

[@kengriffith4968]

We have not been above freezing for over a month, heat wave today got up to 30 degrees.

[@ronaldharmon9891]

This will but FRED to the test come on FRED don't let Chris🤠 down🙌

[@GARDENER42]

I just looked on Google Earth & that pond dam looks like it'll be closer to 700' by the time you're done.

[@bernardsteffen2788]

LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 30-35 ACRES and could be 40feet deep. The Island might disappear. You may need some good laborers.

[@tomswindler64]

Nice work,nice fix nice video as always.great progress 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Oh boy! Another big dam series 😎👍🏻

[@johnhenryNC]

That landowner you've done all of this work for bound to have plenty of money.

[@user-kf8qc7cx4n]

Chris needs a laser range finder. Then he could definitely state the size of his work. 😊

[@robertneilitz4926]

i hope you make a video of installing the reman transfer case in the, new to you, haul truck

[@dd6892]

20:27 I think its time that you need to get your own hose making system with all the machines you have

[@dennis2376]

He is not interested in the mechanical side of things. Something he has mentioned, many times, in the past. :)

[@stevenbale8636]

Morning bug nice to it see it fixed

[@rhacker3058]

Hey Chris, There's Something Going On, I've Been #1 Twice This Week!! When You Go Into Designing A Pond, Do You Have A Preconceived Picture In Your Mind, Or Does It All Depend On The Terrain?? I've Been Watching You For A Long Time And Every One Of The NEW Ponds You Describe, I Can't See Until The End!! LOL Sir You Are A Visionary!!! Later Brother And Peace-Out!!

[@kneedeepinit]

I think the cameras do not do a good job of showing elevation. My guess is that if you were there in person, the pond area would be fairly obvious

[@bosshogg3548]

Great job 👍🏻 that’s exciting not really 😂 love how you tried to say orangish 😂 okay we’re going to be alright Love how you said heck yeah and how I wonder if maybe his mini will pick that up love how the words said menu instead of mini lol 😂love the wrench on the back backhoe bucket and how you peeled off a pice of the hose on the backhoe part

[@jamesallen712]

Ouch expense on 'Fred.' WOW for the new pond idea. Will we see a return of the 500?

[@BryonBarros-zu2bk]

Don’t forget the prevailing winds. That has bit me in the but before. lol.

[@tomzerbyjr9783]

Nice paycheck if you can combine those two legs together

[@oldnstillworkin5709]

That land owner must have some awfully deep pockets.

[@GIANTDIGGER]

I’m glad to see this video

[@badmonkey3669]

Well if I lived close to you I could have rebuilt that gear box for you but Iowa is a bit of a stretch away

[@dylan8285]

That be an interesting shaped pond 😂 like some sort of insect or animal looking thing from the air

[@Canadian_Living_in_Mexico]

During the past years that I have been watching your channel, I have never seen a drawing or plan or sketch on the back of an envelope for the plan of one of your ponds. How do you do it?

[@billloutzenheiser5397]

Wow is this guy related to Bealy Good ?? Sort of reminds me of the dam you built with the older 220, and hired dump trucks

[@redeyetrucker520]

This is a perfect opportunity for you to call Dirt Perfect and MBTS in for backup! 😂😂😂

[@dennis2376]

No, nothing would get done. :)

[@chrissmith513]

Bet you the truck is fixed 😊😊😊

[@bobearl7859]

If you did that fine you know the next thing that's coming is to build a road back to it

[@harrykeel8557]

Beginning to wonder if you will ever go to another job in a different location!

[@jackman6256]

Well now you're doing another thing you seam to enjoy Pond digging

[@bernardsteffen2788]

Do you think you may need "Dirt Perfect" in the surrounding acreage and do his magic??

[@robertvirtue]

I think the owner better pray you hit oil digging the new lake, to pay for all this work your doing , Chris. LOL

[@edsheffield9718]

My,guess was ten thousand more than you had to pay.Good luck with FRED.

[@r1mein54]

Just consider you increased Fred`s value by $20K. It must be in the 20s up there at night - today Saturday it only got up to 45 here in N.Fl. The Pond Master wants to give up roadwork for a while. The 350 and Fred will cut a week or more off this dam build.

[@DukeOfTwist]

2 Dozers, 2 Excavators, 2 Dump Trucks = time to call all your workes in. Could also involve some YT colab days, DirtPefect, C&C Equipment, CottonTop, MrDigg, ScrappyIndustries, DieselCreek and love to see Charlie make an appearance.

[@dwaynepuckett16]

20 Grand YABBA-DABBA-DOO LET'S DIG.

[@gdotone1]

so we can get the 550E again and with 2 trucks, we will be done in no time.

[@jackman6256]

Well now you will have 2 trucks Plus all the equipment you need to do the job make things go better An don't forget you're micro mini lolo

[@randywilson6869]

I know Chris don’t read this but if he does you can stick two nails in a drill and stick your yellow strap in them and wind it up fast and neat

[@jonnooney7102]

Obviously money is not a problem for this guy ! You will be busy on that pond for a spell ! Is this the Gold Rock property ?

[@Assassinlexx]

With dozers, excavators off road trucks . A few good operators that lake could done in record time. Of course red clay and money helps 😂

[@tstartrekdude]

You know you do good work when old job becomes new job becomes new job becomes new job becomes new job lol.
