Severe Overflow Failure Compromises Pond Dam!

[@cadave4927]

It’s great to watch you and Uncle work together. True team work

[@mattwarner5071]

Thank goodness something decent to watch on KZbin

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

We love that = Another Day - another Golf Course - ha ! Taking out the Stumps and cut off Trees and starting to expose the Drain Pipe ! Great Project and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@pauldillinger2286]

I love watching you and Mr. John work together. Yall are a amzing team and know what the other one is doing and thinking on the job. Hats of to both of you guys.

[@TheBurnsStuff]

Dang, feel better Chris. Its fun watching you and big John work together. Hell, you have been doing it so long that you know what the other is doing without looking.

[@Mtlmshr]

Great teamwork! It’s as if you guys can read each other’s minds!

[@davemi00]

I wonder if they use a communication radio.

[@shitloveaduck]

@@davemi00 - they don’t, of haven’t so far. Chris has done so when he has a crew, tried anyways 😂😂. Radio troubles.

[@kenore4003]

They have worked together since Chris could barely see out of a piece of equiptment. I think John and his grandfather taught him so they are familiar wi y h each other on a deep level.

[@erikcourtney1834]

I think Chris taught John….. just sayin. Plus they been working together for years. After a while you learn how each person operates and can predict there next move or what is needed. Without a word spoken or eye contact.

[@Mtlmshr]

@@erikcourtney1834 you read my mind that is exactly what I had in it!

[@rondastump8930]

Uncle John and u work amazingly together! This project is coming along well! Luv the video. God's blessings and be safe!!!

[@brianhoward6896]

I told you, you were getting sick again. Get you some rest man!

[@garymessina1609]

Both the Minnie's were working hard but you both got the job opened up and ready for the repair great video thanks Chris

[@GoBlue79]

Mini's on parade! Unique & awesome! Take care Chris - feel better soon.

[@aubreychadwickwhite8230]

I like your big pond jobs! Your grandfather would be mighty proud of you. I want dedicated men under my command, wish we had a million like you. Take care and keep up the good work.

[@mattwisniewski4896]

Great to see you and John working together

[@Jack_Rabbit71]

Great teamwork on getting that stump out. Thanks Chris and John.

[@tombrey4611]

I play here many times a week for a couple of years now. I often play the hole and think how Chris would fix this pond. Now I know.

[@markransom08]

One of your best episodes Chris! The two excavators working together on the stump reminded me of a pair of lions tearing up a water buffalo 🫣. Hey! Take care of yourself! That cold isn't sounding any better 😨

[@gravelydon7072]

I thought I was over mine but it had other Ideas. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Gone on the 26. Back again on 1/4/2023. Temp is 1° lower than on Christmas Eve at 101°.🤕

[@pinwizz69]

Really nice to see a new series of Chris and his Uncle John on a pond job. I swear Vegas could run book on how many episodes it'll take to get it done and get more action than a major boxing fight. That's how popular they've become on Social media. Thanks Chris and Uncle John.

[@alpintourer]

Sound like a bad cold there.

[@stephengmeiner3264]

Funny to watch him empty a hole while you’re filling it! 😂 You guys work so well together

[@davidketterman961]

I like how they work together. It really shows you the power of team work.

[@davecoombs6060]

First time in years I have seen stumps not playing nice w/ you guy's, assuming John is in the second mini, you guys work like a well oiled machine together, no guessing on who's doing what, awesome job once again!👊💪

[@tedc.4956]

those particular stumps and fallen trees definitely would fall into Chris's "most aggrevatanist" classification

[@Nikola-wb7te]

Ці єкскаваторщики якісь недолугі і безтолкові

[@bbrcummins1984]

Watching Mr John and you work together are always great videos.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I bet there were several times you wished you had the 220 or 250 on this but your dogged determination and your skills & abilities did not let those stumps or logs win! You & John work together so very well, it's like watching a ballet. Thanks for the fun. You sounded much better in the 2nd half of the video. Please take care.

[@gthiii]

Who needs the 250 when the Yanmars are on the job! Tom

[@rodneywroten2994]

love seeing the little guys still get the job done.

[@markmaul4525]

Chris I loved watching you and John double team this job together. Looking forward for the videos in the working and completing of this job. The two of you do great work for the people and community that you work in. Your customers should be glad that the two of you work in them local that when they hire your companies that they are getting a great company to work with. May the two of you continue to prosper in the coming new year.

[@louGriggs1944]

Pretty slick the way you broke up that tree trunk. Thanks.

[@derrickpettit86]

Awesome work as always, them stumps were a buger to get out, but y'all got er done, gonna be a nice transformation on that overflow, thanks for sharing Chris 💪🇺🇲✊👌

[@DavidRed95]

Whoever built that cart path, did a good job packing it in there.

[@gravelydon7072]

And used some decent material. That clay will pack hard and prevent water from getting thru.

[@Toobula]

Well, that's the dam, right? It would be packed pretty hard.

[@minidiggin]

Whoever built the dam was responsible for that compaction :)

[@JohnyLatelyCome]

Sounds like Chris is starting the New year with a cold

[@georgesherman5345]

Excellent coordination between both operators. You work as one machine!!

[@glennspreeman1634]

that double stump just about kicked your butts!! I knew uou'd get it!

[@InservioLetum]

Yet again, you make multi-tonne machinery look like watchmaker's forceps. At this point, I honestly wouldn't be surprised to hear you once tied someone's shoes with that machine. Your colleague is considerably less precise, but the seamless teamwork you two pull off without having to verbally coordinate cooperative maneuvres, is just this side of psychic. Absolutely astonishing, wildly impressive, and fascinating to watch! I really wish someone would make a computergame out of this, because you really make this look like a LOT of fun, Chris!

[@craigwavra3495]

Those mini’s sure do their share of work!! You could use a bigger hammer but they really shine in this situation. Gotta love the emergency projects.

[@rrutel]

It’s always amazing to see what these machines are capable of at the hands of a highly skilled operator!

[@toms1499]

Good to see the old open rops mini is still in the fleet and being put to work.

[@julieenslow5915]

Chris. You sound sicker than the pond. Just saying, with love and concern.

[@davemi00]

Definitely bad sinus drainage !!

[@glynngrauer3962]

He sounded like this in last video but not this bad he needs to give himself a well earned rest

[@aarongrabowski3775]

[@thatdave86]

I've yet to hear the sound of a sick pond lol,but hearing Chris sick ,that's well documented from past videos ,the doctor KZbin watchers keep advising him to take care

[@teapot_]

The bank seems very well compacted. Is it one you done? It's three days you've had your cold. Hopefully, it will clear up soon.

[@mischef18]

Sure made for great viewing guys and thanks for taking us along bro. Safe travels

[@thomasbrown9047]

That’s some well packed clay! Love the videos and as always keep up the great work!,

[@maryriser7836]

Sounds like you got Christmas crud. It looks like two dinosaurs building a nest. I like your videos because there's not a bunch of chatter and grinning faces. It makes me feel like I'm in the operator's seat. The gentle hum of the machine, the bump and thump of the work being done by the bucket. It's focused and good dig therapy.

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Very exciting. Y’all do such high quality work.

[@joelwatts2792]

I love watching u and John working together

[@kenmazer9481]

Great team work getting those trees and stumps removed

These repairs are always entertaining.

[@terryrogers1025]

Those Yanmars are pretty impressive little machines, just perfect for the situation you were in as far as I could tell, couple things I am not quite understanding on your process but I will wait, I am betting they will be explained away in the next vid. Thanks for the ride along sir.

[@francesstratton695]

Sounds like you picked up the New Years crude, sending prayers and well wishes for your healing!!👍👍✝️♥️🇺🇸

[@philipfleming3546]

Nice job, lots of obstacles to contend with. Look forward to seeing tomorrow's video.

[@dsdragoon]

It was fun see you two tag teaming those logs and stumps.

[@taa-dow6713]

Hopefully they used a wood chipper to process them and not waste them. Think of all the mulch they could sell😎😜

[@tomrogers9467]

Chris, much as we all love your videos and look forward to a new one pretty well every evening, you gotta take care of yourself. Take a couple of days off once in a while. Sleep in. Have a big breakfast. Relax for the day! Work to live, don’t live to work!

[@careyhauck7806]

This is probably a dumb question…. Would it be possible to provide an inside the cab overhead camera showing how you’re using the joystick controls? Possibly use 25% or less of the available screen to show the overhead camera angle while synced with the excavation work cameras? Thanks, Carey

[@2badger2]

I'm surprised that the golf maintenance crew let all of those trees grow so close to the pipe outlet, the roots were going everywhere.

[@timothystevenhoward]

get well soon chris. you are a hard worker, get some rest!

[@jimdavies7592]

You haven't sounded so great the last couple of videos. I hope you feel better soon. I'm amazed how well you and John work together. I know you have your business up and running but I hope you don't stop working for John.

[@stonewallpi1]

I like you double dipping with the mini excavators... very effective! Too small of a space to get a big beast in there. I guess. :) That pond overflow was an absolute sh*t show! I can't believe they let it get that bad... especially a golf course. Get feeling better buddy and looking forward to setting the box!

[@bobbydawson7706]

That's what you call team work! Awesome job 👏 👍

How appropriate Chris, for the first tasks for the new year is this particular plan, plus a cold to boot.

[@beercan31]

WOW… not only can Chris get dirt to burn, He can also get water to run up hill. Look at the video where he talks about a hidden irrigation line (3:14) look at the rotten discharge pipe and see the water heading back towards the pond. Gotta love this guy

[@DconBlueZ]

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

Hi Chris you have probably amswered this before. But when you are working on your projects does John have others to help or is he on his own?

[@sharonmiller6436]

Usually it's just the two of them.

[@sharonmiller6436]

Sorry, read your question again and got a different feel for it . . you meant "when Chris is not working with John is John on his own?" I have a feeling he works alone those days but I may be way out in left field on that. 🙂

Digging all those stumps kept you in time with that wisdom tooth. Double stump always the trouble. You two worked good together.

If you ever come to the Adirondacks let me know. Maybe we can meet up for lunch and can show you the camp I am building on a creek. Lots of filling in leveling off and digging.

[@jpdunamislodge]

I keep waiting for that thumb to break off on the Yanmar. Why’s that irrigation main so deep? I thought that you guys were in central flat ground NC. Ground dose not freeze there? Middle of the pond dam doesn’t seem like a good place it for it either. Well it’s on the edge of the cart path but seems a little deep to me. Looks like the valve control wires got thrown in the ditch under the pipe too.
