Plugging The Diversion Ditch To Fill The 10 Acre Pond!

[@deernutOO]

Chris doesn't take any short cuts to get this dam work done to perfection. So many places and times that he could just "cover it up" and never look back. But he takes care of every detail to do it up right. The customer and those in the future will have the best for sure.

[@samvoyles2096]

Hi Chris, want you to know that I so appreciate you hanging in there. There are 570K or of us out here that look forward to your videos daily. Especially when we are feeling crappy and take off work for the day :). Seriously, really do enjoy your content. Thanks, hope this didn't last you too long.

[@nelsonannett5427]

had to give you two thumbs up for working when your sick like that. she is shaping up nice. hang in there chris cheers.

[@donaldalexanderrichards4422]

Chris is the king of all ponds he works whenever he can even with a cold

[@jbonegw]

Get some rest before you end up in the hospital. 😬

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Ever feel like a mud magnet? Chris you’ve sure had more than your share with these last couple of projects, whew!! I love how this one is finalizing…looks fantastic & no matter what the customer paid you gave them double with your excellent work ethic & fine attention to details!! May you be feeling much better tomorrow!

[@gscompston3856]

This has been one of my favorite projects to watch. So fascinating to watch Chris control his excavator like a surgeon.

[@rwc2504]

Coming along real nice. Sucks to have to work sick but the owner never gets a break. Hang in there Chris

[@RJE6585]

That Sun is probably the best thing for you. Glad you started feeling better!!

[@oldcdawg1]

That dam should be solid with a 15 ton truck with 25 tons of dirt driving back and forth across it and the roller for good measure. It's probably the hardest dirt on the property.

[@donmiller358]

You're awesome, Chris, considering how crappy you feel. That pond job is turning out picture perfect and will be a place of enjoyment for many years. Big thumbs up.

[@IR-nq4qv]

The owner of this property is very fortunate to have such an abundance of good dirt to utilize at his disposal. That's a lot of money saved in hauling it to this site alone. Awesome job Chris, you literally moved mountains on this project.

[@Stratos53100]

No joke, i wouldnt want to know how many 5 figures it would have taken to ship that much

[@jamesdiehl8690]

With all of the mud you've taken out, the brush, trees and junk it's going to look nice! It's already looking so much better!

[@kylekinkade9211]

You have the G.O.A.T. of heavy equipment channels, by far. Plus I like your OCD! Heavy equipment and OCD = You can make a beautiful landscape!

[@AncientHermit]

Going to miss this one when it's done.:( Looks really neat. Hope you get better soon Chris. ;)

[@dennis2376]

You sound better after lunch. It is still awe inspiring to see how much soil you removed to fill in the dam. Thank you and have a good day.

[@robinredman5192]

Prayers are with you Chris. Praying you are on the road to recovery and feeling more like yourself very soon. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

[@robertgeorgewerner]

Chris, we "need" an LD18 T shirt saying something to the effect "... That will just make fish habitat!". Another great job. Take care of yourself. No one else is paid to do it.

[@scottburk4083]

I sure hope that you don't have what I've had since last Monday. It is finally starting to clear up and I'm starting to feel better. I still have a bit of chest congestion but it's almost gone. Great job on this project as with all of them. I look forward to your videos everyday. This has been one of my favorites to watch from the beginning. You should put a marker on the waters edge to see how much the pond rises each day. ie a yardstick or something. Just a suggestion. Good luck and get to feeling better.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I've been waiting for this. Can't wait to see how lovely the whole pond will look when you are done.

[@ashleywynn4923]

Being sick at work sux a$$ but you gotta do it. Been there done that. Worst time to be sick is in the middle of the summer when its 100+ with high humidity. Hope ya get to feelin better

[@Bealeguy1]

Wow, It's crazy how much you actually get done...Nice Job Chris, hope you get to feeling better.

[@brianschmitt5227]

Love it silly roller wanted to go for a swim in the pond, 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂

[@Todd.Roberts]

Yes it did with me on it lol

[@leonardparker1103]

You're a trooper Chris! The way you sounded I didn't think you would work as long as you did either. Get well soon buddy!

[@richardvernick4280]

Chris. Thank You very much for the videos of the 10 acer pond new spill way project. Still say you have one set of magic hands once you get in that 220 Volvo machian. Like to watch you work any project you have good common sense too. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.

[@JimmyDCarter]

Thanks for today's video. I do hope you are feeling better soon! Great work ethic!!!

[@csnelling4]

Thanks Chris, you certainly sounded you were on the mend by the afternoon, things are looking great on the pond dam 👏👏👏👌👍🍺🇬🇧

[@rodneywroten2994]

Pond is looking so good Chris. You have come a long way Sir

[@Threadsandjars]

See, you should've sent that Colorado rain back my way and stayed healthy!!! LOL. It's admirable that you just keep pushing through BUT when you aren't feeling well, running yourself into the ground doesn't help. I know, I know, you are just that way LOL. Just think how great you will feel when this project and the muddy hole project is finished. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

[@craigwavra3495]

Really like the way this is turning out. Impressive bit of work today. Almost only thing left is to dress it up!

[@steveperry2314]

Chris, hope you feel better soon! Your cut looks so close to grade all the way across….pretty impressive without gps or laser. Take care! Looking good!

[@WSmith2024]

This job has been a very enjoyable series to watch; excellent work. Hope you feel better soon.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Chris, 'Justin, I've got good news and bad news'. Justin, 'Hit me with the good news. A-ha-aha-aha'. Chris, 'Your roller had a good wash today'...

[@Todd.Roberts]

I’m glad he didn’t have to call Justin to tell him that either . It scared me bad

[@davidjohnston330]

This has been one of the best projects to watch you do. The scope of work and sheer size is AWESOME 😎😎

[@Skorpychan]

You're at least starting to sound like yourself again now. Also, I love how your solo work is turning into a proper little business in it's own right, with lots of machines running around and a small crew.

[@staceyhazelett2397]

Wow the drive even when sick! I especially enjoyed the dump truck at the end😀

[@keithk8698]

I hope you feel better soon and stay safe Chris. The pond is looking good as always.

[@MsRaidman]

awesome video chris,hope you get well soon, chris never rests even if he is sick,keeps on working like theres no tommorrow,they way it should be.nice finish to the pond man.nice work chris

[@marksaunders2500]

[@juancornetto8243]

Justin's roller almost became "Fish habitat" 🙃

[@chadgodfrey4364]

Well I knew this is gonna be a great project it’s shaped up really nicely Chris has done a fabulous job.

[@martymorse2]

Excellent video today. Thanks Chris for letting us watch you and your helpers work. This is a big job for you and your Uncle.

[@sharonmiller6436]

This is Chris' job.

[@martymorse2]

@@sharonmiller6436 Thank you for letting me know. Never know which is which.

[@tomadelsberger6101]

Great job on the damn it's coming along rather nicely 👌 Hang in there we'll say a prayer that you can get to feeling better soon 🙏

[@theoriginalbuggins]

Take a day to get better, for heaven's sake. You'll get more work done when you're well, and we'll all still be here!

[@Sparkey]

This, Chris.

[@stevengullison5123]

Good evening Chris, hope you start feeling better. You are better working your sickness off if you can. It always worked for me. Nice looking work on the pond. Thank you for taking the time to video

[@joebledsoe257]

Hey get better buddy. I finally got something to stick. Feeling much better today. Dam looks great.

[@terryrogers1025]

That is looking sweet young man. You work on getting healthy again, best to you, thanks for the ride along again.

[@DJ2CM]

Hi Chris, I really do hope this cold gets better soon. But this does show why your such an awesome operator and businessman. Just get you there and into the zone and off you go. 👍💪 Stay safe and Happy! 🇨🇦 Craig

[@ronaldgaska4480]

This project has kept you busy. Feel better Chris. Weather is turning nicer. Blessings

[@chosen1one930]

A ton of rain is headed our way. Hope your start feeling better. Great work

[@OriginalBoringSpaceCadet]

I don’t know what I like best about this video - the hard work and accomplishments of the crew OR that gorgeous blue sky. 😉

[@sharonmiller6436]

All of the above! 🙂

[@Pegasus209]

Once I heard you talking, I had a feeling you were going to tough it out all day. The dam is coming along very nicely! This is turning into one of my favorite jobs you've done. I'm curious as to what your plan is for the field you've been getting your fill dirt from. Slope it off, or level it? No matter, as the owner should be tickled pink with the finished product.

[@davidrice4172]

Best Video's ever on repairing a pound dame form start to finish You are the best

[@paullumley8291]

Great job Chris you sounded better at the end of the day too 👍

[@darrenlane9072]

Get well soon chris, you got to do what you got to do!👍👍👍

[@crandonborth]

Seems like a job for Betty the bigger track loader... skid steer is probably the right call tho.

[@waynecummins9713]

Great video as usual, hope you fill better soon 👍 🇬🇧

[@bobbydawson7706]

Sorry you feel bad. Hope you get better soon. Awesome recovery 👌

[@pete359r5]

The haul truck is really earning it keep don't know how you made it this long without it right 😂 really looking good chris you may want to get some meds before it really gets you down i was that way this winter thought I would tuff it out on my own well 3 months later it went away great video as always stay safe chris

[@snappingbear]

With the pond so low, the. owner missed a perfect opportunity to build a quality dock as well as spread gravel for bluegill spawning beds and add more structure for fish.

[@Bobsutubes]

Excellent piece of work. Very interesting project...

[@andrewmiller2868]

Well done Chris, you're a real trooper 👍👍👍.

[@brianelliot2719]

I thought that overflow was like a chimney for a while - would it ever reach the right level and yes it did. Beautiful blue sky and sunshine day. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Man you are doing such a great job Chris. When you’re a business owner it’s usually difficult to take sick leave. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@kens.3729]

At least you had two (2) Others working with you. Work isn’t Fun when you’re under the weather. 🙏👍

[@artfuldodger9430]

Hope you feel better soon Chris, it's difficult to work when you are under the weather. See you next time!!

[@Ironhorse41]

Awesome work as always - life of the self employed eh... working when your sick ;) got to be done though sometimes ;) cheers from New Zealand

[@randycharest4507]

I TOTALLY yagreeee with you iron horse

[@floydstrong3035]

Chris I really enjoy watching all of your videos I can’t help myself it’s something I used to do when I was a younger boy thank you for all you do

[@scottinniger5128]

You do such a great job on what ever your doing, my hats off to you

[@donaldwright6613]

Jeez Chris, I felt ill hearing you start work this morning. But good on ya mate for hanging in there. Wow... you accomplished a lot. The ponds looking better every day. You deserve a wee break once you get this done, and gather your strength. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@robertrockwell7581]

looks good Chris. the second wind after lunch might mean your getting over the worst part and on the way too feeling better. take care and stay safe.

[@nancyannirvin4507]

You sounded better at the end than the beginning of the video. I am new to your channel and spent the last month watching all the videos from the last year and beyond, Just caught up to real time. You make great videos and explain things well.

[@wwjoesr]

The fast motion was fun to watch. I wasn’t expecting it :)

[@DMAN10]

Way to hang in there Chris! It’s gonna look slick when she’s all done.

[@darrtoo5767]

Chris, this has been an awesome effort to get this work done over these last few days on-site. Your work ethic is 2nd to none. We all know that the man-flu is one of the worst we can catch! Cheers mate 👍🏻🇦🇺😎

[@K7DFA]

The project is still looking really good. Get better ASAP Chris.

[@donnamullins2089]

Ok Chris, let's face it. Time for Doc in the Box. We need you well. Equipment rescue first thing. Wow what did you have for lunch? Working up a storm. Looking good. That dirt is packed. Take care and get some rest.

[@thomasyerbey337]

Looks great Chris 🇺🇲 another job well done 🇺🇲 hope you are feeling better soon

[@grpcchurchnortonva.8024]

Prayers for you 🙏 hope you feel better soon. Awesome work as usual!

[@steveblack1753]

That is nice looking dirt you are loading up Chris, nice change instead of that mud !

[@wb8ujb]

Sure looks good to me too, nice work my friend. Hoping you feel better soon. Me along with many more look forward to your video's. You do great work and produce equally good video's. Thank You!

[@jefferymitchell9574]

Seeing the endpoint can really give you that second wind. This is really coming together. BTW I think that roller is looking a little naked without decals.

[@kenore4003]

That's his friend Justin's roller. Doesn't mean it doesn't need stickered up.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Well Chris you’ve got the cat by the tail now, another day or two and you ought to have that baby finished and then on to the next project I guess you’ll be going to the stumping job and get it knocked out. But anyway my friend you and John stay safe and keep the videos coming brother

[@thomastaylor298]

Glad you are feeling a little better. The pond damn is looking great. Your customer should know he raised the value of his property by a bunch. Lot more than what he paid you. Too bad you can't get rewarded, after all it was you vision and expertise and hard work that made it such a show place.

[@manifold1476]

damn pond dam

[@dammitmrtomb]

Glad you're feeling better. The hall truck sure looks good, Hope it gives you many years of use.

[@manifold1476]

haul truck

[@paulhammond7489]

Seeing the way that vibro-roller / compactor has performed on the clay for this project, I can foresee one of those being added to Chris's wish list at a future auction if he can find one in good condition. It'll fit in well with the other recent additions to his ever expanding fleet of equipment :)

[@davehoffman9767]

Great Job Chris,, I just went through what your going through a couple of days ago and it's tough. Your a trooper Love your work ethics to no end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thepolkster46]

Sounds like you are getting better by the day , thanks !

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris another great video! You work your but off no matter how you feel! You’re one tough guy! Get well soon! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@deronlogterman2951]

I'm hoping that Dr. Winston and his buddies are taking care of you at home with lots of love.

[@barrykulmom]

Doesn’t surprise me that you kept working. Accomplished a lot today.

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

A very well coordinated effort today sir. The ten acre pond is coming out incredible. Well done. Be well soon.

[@annmarielyons73]

I can't wait to see the pond filled with water.👍👍's up.

[@robertconreux8079]

[@ItiscalledaMANDATE]

Good stuff. I am really enjoying this project.

[@gruntqueen]

You sound miserable; I can't believe you stuck it out. I admire your dedication to doing the job right. This project is looking great.

[@larryferguson3387]

After you finish the diversion ditch take time off to get well, your health is most important.

[@russcollins4306]

Hope your feeling better soon, it's awful to feel that bad at work. Make for a long day, thanks for sharing.

[@johnelliott6738]

You have a terrific work ethic but health first... Really enjoyed this pond dam build!
