I love how Chris's "little camp fires" end up thirty feet tall. And there is always one Karen who makes that silly call. Always seems to have his permits in order and FD just asks him to keep it sane and laughs at the Karen with him. Picasso of dirt. Such a pretty picture of clay and amazing progress in a day. Thanks for the show Chris.

[@stevencorley2352]

"Probably getting a little ambitious now" he says and reaches for another grapple full. Lol I've forgotten how many Burn piles we have watched you burn in the last couple of years but one thing is crystal clear. Chris loves burning stuff. Great to see your machine at work again.

[@timz7171]

Really enjoy your video's. I was an operator for 38 years in Local #150 in Illinois and Indiana, now retired. Did a bit of everything, but mostly big sewer and water projects in the city. Like the way you take care of your machines. Wish everyone was like that.

[@mikeyb5581]

You can hear the happiness in your voice. Glad to see you both back in action. Are things with Uncle John still going well? Still praying for him.

[@stug9304]

Just a viewer from uk, great content., ( but please tell us what the repair was and what they needed to change.) We all love an operator with nimble fingers.

Oh the concerned neighbors!!! Happy to see the 220 running again, love that humming sound the old girl makes! Purrs like a kitten 🐱

Chris must have flew in Warren of "Western Truck & Tractor repair" 😆 😆 😆

[@doug487]

I've been watching your videos for several months now. I've always noticed you accomplish more alone in a day than a 4 or 5 man crew does working for the State. 😀

[@rustysteel8714]

Two minutes in... that's a HAPPY man! Don't melt the TINT on the windows, Chris! Much satisfaction in such a PRODUCTIVE day! 😉

[@randycarpenter2914]

Love the sound of a machine running. Back to work now.

[@stevecorcoran9869]

Your repairs seem to follow the formula my grand-dad taught me years ago. When estimating any project, he always told me to consider these three elements: It can be done fast. It can be done well. It can be done cheaply - pick 2 of the 3 because there is no way to accomplish all 3 on the same project.

[@anthonycash4609]

Your grandad sounds like a man with very good wisdom and advice. That's one I've got to remember.

[@davidmays5231]

I've seen you do alot of things Chris but to have a bucket of dirt with a big stick in it and you dump the dirt on the dirt pile and in the same motion make the stick land at the fire was a awesome thing to see. The little things is what you are a master at.

[@minordelta31]

I'm starting to think that Chris might be a "pyro", especially after he says " a few more scoops then I'm backing away" and then a few seconds later he moves to the other side and continues to add mre and more lol, These videos are easily becoming the highlight of my day!

[@paulkelly2882]

Oh man, what a relief to see it fixed, finally it’s back on the road, love watching the Volvo in action

[@doritleis2773]

Hurra, the sound of the 220 Volvo is again not to take. The fire burning perfectly! And the Form to the pond is perceived. Yor worked is to the best quality how always. The video best quality, thank you for this. 🇦🇹👌👌

[@tschannel8653]

I use the hum from the excavator to calm me down so I can sleep, I’ like all of your content but I am so glad she is up and going. Thank you for what you do.

[@victorwilson4138]

Probably didn't want to pay what Volvo wanted to fix it, called in a cheaper guy. Dealerships play games.

[@paulriversred738]

@@victorwilson4138 he said he got it done for half price lol I dont blame him either that's stuff's expensive.. but as much as he advertises for Volvo they should always hv his back but apparently they dont

[@scottfortune9016]

When you're down from working as much as you are used to, the smaller jobs you had seem like a vacation. Glad your machines are fixed.

[@dsdragoon]

I'm glad you have the 220 running again, but let's not forget the mini. Yea! The dirt sculptor is back at this work of art!

[@edgundlach2811]

You do a nice job. It's enjoyable to listen to you talk, because of your knowledge, and experience. You don't just make a hole in the ground, but actually make fish habitats with the natural resources on the job. Sincerely Ed

[@shitloveaduck]

Pretty amazing what a guy can get done with the right sized equipment and a 12 hour day!! The client will go out there tonight and say “Holy shit!!” After tomorrow, the client will be truly amazed!! Probably can’t type what they will say,,,,,,, heh heh. Hopefully the dam goes well and you will be almost there!! New overflow, final once over and you will have created a very nice pond!! Again,,,,,,,. Haha.certainly rejuvenated an old attempt at a pond anyway! Looking forward to the next video on this project!! Thanks Chris!

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Wow, what a great, day’s work. Definitely looking like a pond now. Glad you got the 220 back up & running. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰

[@robkeeler4981]

Hey Criss been watching you now for quite a while I enjoy watching your videos especially those that you do around pond building and pond repairs it’s amazing to see what you have an idea in your head how you make it happen keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more of your videos may the good Lord keep a hand on your shoulder

[@keithdunlap2701]

Oh Hell !!! She's Alive Again....... Man, I know your tickled to death to be back up and running , and getting back on track !! And got a lot knocked out already , Awesome Chris ! Can't wait to see ya get this one finished on up !! Have a Great Evening , On too the Next....

[@basecom70]

Glad you cleared up the dealership issue. It sounded to me like there was a falling out. Glad you got your machine fixed. It's nice to see you back in the saddle again.

[@jasontilton2025]

Chris is like get this small camp fire going oh it's getting a little warm over here I could tell you that you were excited to get the 220 back and hope uncle doing better

[@wendymorrison5619]

Hmm, listen to that brush sizzle and fizz. Reminding me of the annual burn of prunings, stumps, scrap wood etc that Dad always had down the field. Trickiest part was stopping the curious cows from getting too close.

[@tedc3895]

It's still hard to believe it was coincidence when the dozer also quit.

[@jakemoeller7850]

Feeling under the weather today and relaxing while watching/enjoying your videos. Thank you for the uploads! 👍🏻🙂👍🏻

[@dylan8285]

When Chris says Probably getting a little ambitious now and I should stop stacking it on and let it catch up does anyone else cheer him on Like Nah keeper going, keep stacking it on their your good. lol cause I sure do

[@gunslingersatx6741]

I thought the same thing and then fire department shows up

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Well thats trip one from Karen. She's ticked about the turtle still.

[@carlmclelland7624]

Gotta love your... "Little fires!" In California or NW Nevada, those would make the 6 o'clock news... 80,000 acre fire......................... Glad you've got your 'Toy' running again.

Good to hear! You got a lot of work done in the mean while.

[@gethinjones1348]

So glad to see and hear them both purring away!, looking forward to see you knocking this project and others out of the park now! 👍🏻

[@williamdyer8839]

Glad to see the smile back on your face.There’s nothing worse than waiting for a piece of equipment to get fixed.

[@Bass2010]

You must definitely sound relieved now you’re feeling little better now that all your equipment back up and running so hope you have more better days ahead 👍👍👍👍👍

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

Darn good to see and hear the 220 back on the job. She is quite the workhorse. Happy for you Chris.

[@AusJackal]

Good to see and hear...

[@henryzabel1746]

Chris , I enjoy your videos and can not imagine how many hours you put in editing and putting out videos . Myself and would imagine many others would enjoy revisits of ponds you have done maybe a year later . Maybe just a drone overview so we can see how your vision turned out . I imagine you have a lot of free time being as you never put in over 16 hours a day running equipment and then 5 hours editing . Then you must waste the other three hours sleeping . Thanks for all your effort to show you at your craft .

[@stephencarlson1160]

Nothing better than watch great Chris bonfire on a cool New England nite. Beats the one im sitting at drinkin beer.. Think burn so much better when dry. Great vid Chris

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

Pond...... Looks more like a hydro storage lake! Man, it's going to be deep. Another excellent job. Chris, I always look forward to your videos. Respect from New Zealand

congrats on the machine Chris. I know it was bothering you. and the pond is taking shape with that brush gone. looks nice.

[@djsplace6843]

Today I saw a conveyor belt move a bunch of dirt up a 100' hill. The skid steer coulnt keep up loading it. I thought about you when i saw it. Love your channel..

Hurrah, the Volvo is back. :) Happy days and to celebrate a nice fire! There is always someone who phones fire department on you. :)

[@bobbietower7185]

I thought you were gonna burst with excitement!! Have to say I was happy too..Your video's the past weeks were good but you seemed out of your groove!! ...with everything going on and Uncle John being out of commission for a bit I'm sure it was very stressful!! Nice of you to "clear" Volvo for any wrong-doing and set things straight with us. great video...really enjoyed this one!

[@johnnyholland8765]

Chris... Have you done a video where your Uncle John tells how he got into the construction business? Would love to hear his story and hope he is continuing on the mend. Glad your 220 is fixed.

[@bobbietower7185]

I'd be interested in that video!! I don't think Uncle John is the KZbin kind of person though....

[@sandybarnes887]

His grandfather started the company. When he retired his uncle took over. Chris did 'a day in the life' type interview a few years ago where he mentions it.

Love when the bucket kinda spits smoke when retrieved from the pile. A #220 dragon 👍🏻

Were in the same boat Chris when it comes to burning some people have way too much time on there hands. I’ve been in a few arguments with people when I’ve been burning i pretty much tell’m to go get a life. Good to see the 220 back in action. I had one of the 135 go down 2 days ago with pretty much the same thing as urs did

[@jasonmckee5030]

Chris, I like to burn when my brush is dry like that but that's a hell of a way to have to get it dry. That gumbo dirt there is about like the grey and red gumbo we have here in North Alabama. It will definitely hold water. And is rough to dig out of my tracks. Good video, I enjoyed it. 👍

Glad it's fixed. Missed it. Well, missed you behind the controls. I'm 75 and absolutely amazed the way you handle it.

[@ricklane8554]

Haha, love the fire burning brush :) See you're happy again with the cool Volvo... that's your thing :)

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

Nice to see it's running again. I think they never ever inspected that machine and it was sold because of the very problem you experienced. The turbo pipe was probably already split and broken when you got it hense why it was whistling when it arrived. Nice machine but I think the previous owner ran plain water instead of DEF in it. The dealer missed the hydraulic fluid missing which means they most likely never inspected it. Shame it broke outside of the Volvo warranty but great to see it running again. Have you considered buying one of those diagnostic tools?

[@Microphone73]

Congratulations on getting it fixed. Can be so stressful when something impacts your business so much!
