Pond Is Now Doubled In Size

[@h418lfc]

Great job as always Chris. It's not about what the owner wants, it's all about what makes the fish happy 😊

[@hemi5365]

I've noticed most of the ponds seem to be shallow. My pond is 3/4 acres and 35 feet deep.

[@earlsmithson4749]

A lot of care and concern on every job he does. A real pleasure to watch and learn.

[@timh4886]

Exactly. Beyond the talent to understand how to expand a pond. His skills using the excavator was some real talent. The excavator was basically an extension of him. Enjoyed hearing his rational and explanations as he was maneuvering the machine to build out the pond.

[@fhuber7507]

I have about half of the digging done on my pond. Recent rains filled the pond early. My dam holds fine. I built the dam mostly based on what I learned watching these videos... And with the idea that I wanted it to be easy to mow and keep trees from growing on the dam.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris that’s one big pond! Thanks for sharing. Kevin

[@Todd.Roberts]

Can’t wait to see the pond finished

[@GARDENER42]

An acre pond full of fish & my own range would pretty much be nirvana for me. Add some deer in the woods, pheasants in the rough, ducks on the pond & a few rabbits & pigeons for off season & I'd never leave the place.

[@pamike4873]

Absolutely. I got just about 190 acres but we're on top of a ridge in the Appalachians in PA, and as such, the water table is about 100' below grade. The middle of the property is the high ground, and it slopes down in every direction. So no pond. But I get to see bears, deer, turkeys, and the like but I haven't seen a ringneck in over a decade, unfortunately. Too many coyotes. Even the red fox population has dwindled. Sucks.

[@richardvernick4280]

Chris. Thank You very much for the videos. I enjoy watching you work any of your job sights. Chris you and your equipment work so smoothly, plus the way you see the project needs set before you. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.

[@cyndikarp3368]

Pond looking very good to have a big pond for fishing here pretty soon.

[@denisoconnell7593]

11pm and just in from work. Wine open and and a new let’s dig video. 👌

[@DavidScobie]

Excellent little fishing pond

[@kittty2005]

I love your comments about soil condition.

[@randytravis3998]

its a great day its friday and we have a lets dig 18 video

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Thought those ponds are much deeper. 🤔 So, what's planned for the weekend? Any auction, barbecue, festival...?

[@EJGentleman]

Beautiful Pond work. You always make things so nice.

[@martymclamb5750]

Nice looking pond excellent work

[@MsRaidman]

Pond looks awesome and way bigger now. All that graded in , seeded in will make the pond look nice again.another Happy owner there chris😀.nice job man.

[@doritleis2773]

Hello Chris, the building plan and the make is your specialty. Have this Pont a water course or it's groundwater? And is the ground to the Pont loam the water stopped. The pierce to the old to the new part is perfect. Only your Volvo will have a bath. A beautiful weekend and love greetings from Vienna.

[@terryclement9811]

That’s a great process you have to do that Chris! Great digging soil without rocks, wish we had less rocks here in the mountains, but that also creates a whole another set of challenges at times.

[@timbhomeimprovement8104]

I very been on equipment most of my life but I all ways look forward to learn something new from a operater with your quality . Your really good .I enjoy watching ur videos good job Tim Anderson

[@havgdo4445]

Thanks for all your videos, we really enjoy them 😊

[@mickbaker2483]

Another great job Chris it's great to watch a artist at work.

[@steveadams99708]

That is a nice-looking pond!

[@desolatemetro]

This homeowner is awesome. Big shooting range, extra deep fishin' holes, 250 dumping dirt in the little Kubota...why not, eh? This guy seems like a lot of fun.

[@lloydholt6511]

Nice addition to the pond sir.

[@nelsonannett5427]

nice land and pond. congrats on 500 k. thank for the vids. cheers.

[@skagit58]

You sir are an inspiration. Thanks for another job well done! 👍👍🇺🇸

[@tomswindler64]

Great looking project,never disappoint.just keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@saliemi1]

I enjoy all your videos. What was really great is to see aerial views from the drone. Really cool. Can we get some time laps as well to see the progress. Thank you ...

[@kens.3729]

“Whatever you can do to Avoid the Mud is Worth your Time”. You Always have a Solid Plan. 👍

[@csnelling4]

Looking great Chris👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺

[@mischef18]

Great video bro and no rocks were hurt in this project. Safe travels

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Another fine job done but LETS DIG 18, it turned out awesome Chris. So I just wanted to say thank you Man for taking us along every day on your journey to work so anyway brother you and John and your family stay safe brother and keep the videos coming

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Nice job Chris pond looks awesome.

[@stevedoty5841]

Amazing, was just thinking if you left some of that little dam for habitat. You I’ll leave some. LOL

[@josianrodriguez1249]

SALUDOS CHRIS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. G.B.Y.A. THE POND CAME OUT BEATIFUL.

[@ericroybal7029]

I'm in awe of his skills. Another amazing job! way to go Chris!!!!!

[@backpages1]

Amazing. A HEOp who considers future appearance and functionality under different circumstances and conditions, with customers requests in mind. Amazing. (A fun watch, thanks for posting!)

[@michaelg6686]

That looks more like a custom Pond with Different levels. Now everybody will want one.

[@greghoffstadt667]

Nice work as always Chris. On to the next!! Nice socks.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Awesome job. The coffer dams worked well. Will you do a part 3, re smoothing the new banks & creating the shooting range? Cheers & take care from Australia 🤓👍🏼🐨🦘

[@richardmercer8915]

Great job!!!! Keep on digging!

[@hpelisr]

That looks like easy digging there, No rocks.

[@Jack2000xxx]

Yeah i’d pay to dig with that ground instrad of getting paid!

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Its second best only to digging in sand!

[@michaelpage9883]

That’s a nice looking pond now.

[@kirk467]

You operate that machine like it’s nothing Chris, awesome job brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You are definitely “The Man”! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I would be scared of getting the machine bogged in there and you just dive off in it with ease! That’s why I watch you Chris, you’re an awesome operator! The best I’ve seen really ever! So educational too my friend! I hope Winston is doing well and I finally got the money and ordered two shirts and just waiting for closer to winter to see if you get some big size hoodies! Thanks for sharing my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@johnbeck9997]

After the touch up, it looks great. I just can't get over though with what it cost how much extra would it have been to do drain it and do the middle or raise that dam a little. He has lots of money in it.

[@KRN762]

Shooting range and a fishing pond.....my idea of heaven.

[@grahamdunton3283]

You are becoming quite an artist, with those pools Chris. What, water Lilies would survive in that regional climate, they are ideal, for fish to breed under?

[@r1mein54]

The CG Excavating Team makes another fine pond for North Carolina.

[@jimlong527]

I see you got a hair cut there Mr Chris. Summer is in full swing.

[@jc8303]

he cut his hair with the skid steer

[@paulriversred738]

c haha yes he's that good with it for sure lol

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Nice Haircut Chris 👍😎 P.S the Back Tire, on the Hall Truck is Low on the Drivers Side

[@williamfindspeople4341]

What are your ponds used for? In Pennsylvania we use them for fire water on the farms.

[@OldDunollieman]

Paddling pools.

[@williamd6967]

Fish

[@kirk467]

Did you originally dig this pond? It looks great and I like the size! Another awesome video Pond Doctor! Thanks for sharing Chris! Stay safe my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@suejackson1731]

That worked out great another job done good.

[@leol1682]

Love this video man and love the little pond .

[@derrickpettit3489]

Looks awesome Chris an congratulations on 500k, Rollin. Thanks for sharing awesome content all the time 💪🇺🇲

[@augustreil]

I can understand wanting a bigger pond/lake, but I would I would rather have a little smaller pond and have it really deep, so it can hold Trout. Just an opinion. Great video Chris.

[@marcryvon]

That's I tought on many of his ponds. Fish go up and down on ridges to feed and reproduce in the colder, shaded bottoms. On a flat, shallow bottom, thus warm water, only catfish 🤮 and sun fish will survive. Any fisherman know that !

[@donniebrown2896]

And crawfish when the catfish are not active

[@augustreil]

@@donniebrown2896, I went to a crawfish boil/party(?) Wow, it was good. Took a lot of time to eat but still awesome !

[@donniebrown2896]

@@augustreil most every catfish "farmer" also raises crawfish (crawdads, mudbugs) as a dual crop. When one is dormant the other is active. We have relatives in Baton Rouge. They cook in a turkey fryer, crawfish,red potatoes, corn on the cob, whole onions and in each batch a full 5 lbs of ground red cayenne. So good but better be close to a creek in the morning lol

[@augustreil]

@@donniebrown2896, You nailed it ! That's pretty much how and what the crawfish boil I went too had ! And yes, a nice cool creek the next day would be a huge bonus ! Lol, too funny.

[@southernhomesteadtransformatio]

Glad you had a firm base.....in mine I would sink out of site if I drove in.....

[@rogertallentire2961]

Nice work.

[@connorscuriosity3520]

hey mr. chris! i love the sound of those excavator tracks rhythmically churning! reminds me of a car on the interstate wheels going clack clack clack. great episode for sure! stay safe!

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Nice job! Looks great

[@doug6131]

"pretty much the muddy spot is everything I dug"...excellent finishing line

[@gardenman3]

I was wondering if a new overflow was going in.

[@safffff1000]

Having fun playing in the sand box

[@thomasyerbey337]

Looks great Chris 🇺🇲

[@keithdunlap2701]

Yes Sir !! Turned out really Nice Chris !! Gave to Old Man's catfish a little more room there .....lololol..... Always like those in an out jobs, making a little quick change an move on real quick !! Without giving up any quality !! Great as always Man, Have a Great Weekend !! Seems like this week went quick ?? lolol...guess it was the Holiday.....On too the Next....

[@DjClarky78]

I love the flooding when you take out the dams. Could you take more footage of flooding in the future? Longer shots or maybe using the drone? Regardless, another great vid - keep em coming!

[@GlobalistJuice]

You "say" you don't like mud ... you know you love it! 👌

[@CCscott]

Can’t truck driver John not feel when you’re loading the first scoop or is the horn toot totally necessary?

[@BealyGood]

The horn toot is so he stops moving the truck. He didn’t beep in the video and the truck kept moving so then he beeped.

[@TheBleghfather]

I was thinking the same thing. Many places we load don't use horns or they don't work, that first hit is just something you learn to feel.

[@faniefaze]

Should have used that last ridge to make an island for the birds.

[@kat2641]

I was thinking gee it's not deep enough the fish will freeze out and then I remembered you're not in Michigan 😂🤣 we shoot for minimum of 12 ft deep and usually punch an area down to 17 ft below finish pond height...but where you're at you can probably get by with six to eight feet guessing... But it's going to really really look different with an aerial shot of before and after....an them fish?? They make exclent dirt levelers ;-)

[@daviddesimone342]

THE FISH WHISPERER !!! THEY ASK , CHRIS GIVES THEM FISH SANCTUARY LOL

[@snarkymcsnarkles3493]

not really, the ponds he makes are too shallow to be good fish ponds

[@louannad1]

Great Job

[@DougT25427]

Cuttin pretty close to the coffer dams... 😁

[@bryanlloyd1099]

Nice job!!

[@willishiland6069]

Great Video and thanks for sharing! Stay Safe!

[@sethwells5266]

Get the pond dug bigger and a future pew range, that man is going to have a nice summer. Wonder what the honey do list looks like lol

[@MrTodd51]

I don't know what a fishing pond consists of in Florida but you make them to neat and clean for a fish pond up in Ohio. We like some varying depth and have some fish attractants like rock piles, old stumps and the occasional tree fell into the rim of the pond. That looks more like a stock pond than a fishing hole but what do I know. Don't take this as a comment on your skill just a mention of how you all do ponds down there.

[@erniemccall123]

Another great video

[@jimsvideos7201]

You need to put a sample of the excavator's horn on your phone, and the next time you're out with your uncle driving play it and see if he reflexively hits the brakes.

[@Mtlmshr]

On something like this would it go a bit quicker if you had another truck there?

[@rossnolan2883]

Nice 👍

[@stevekissel605]

Great vlog 👍👍

[@bosshogg6030]

great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻

[@matthewsharp6597]

Hey Chris, can you answer a question for me and many viewers? Why is it I am not really interested in heavy machinery or dirt work but I am addicted to your videos? I like, comment and have notifications turned on for my young son and I to watch every video. Every excavator we see around here we say, "There is Chris"....

[@frank64409]

What is the deepest pond you have dug?

[@sethtighe1]

Looks really nice

[@nebraskadirtmoving6108]

A company we work with did a huge dam job. They only have scrapers so when they need big excavators and off road trucks they hire us. After the scrapers I would go in with the 390 and dig habitat for the fish all over the place the gps on the hoe really paid for its self on that job. One of the haul truck drivers set pins on his phone where they were at and he goes out there and catches fish all day nonstop. The people that fish their all the time think he’s this great fisherman and I dug so many of them no one catches on because he just goes all over the lake because he knows exactly where each one is at.

[@onetoeinthegrave6506]

great video like always could watch you dig and burn all night long Chris many thanks mate

[@bobjoncas2814]

...looks great, keep safe..
