Love watching brush piles get hot! At 1:36 in the video the 'puddle you're referencing' is technically called a "plunge basin". Basins can be any size as required by the pressure and size of the pipe needed for drainage.

@steveschritz18237 ай бұрын
I don’t know why but siphons are just so satisfying. Used to have to rent a pump every few months to pump down this one pond, but I cut a siphon into the sod, set up a suction hand-pump and valve, worked like a charm.
@tomrogers94677 ай бұрын
We didn’t see Chris assembling the siphon: I’m assuming there is a check valve (foot valve) on the pond end of the pipe to hold the water in during filling?
@steveschritz18237 ай бұрын
Yup check valve in the pond and a hand valve on the downhill side. Fill it up, seal it, and open the downhill valve. Beautiful in its simplicity. My setup was only a 1.5 inch pipe so I could get away with a priming vacuum hand pump to pull enough water up and over the pond dam to start the flow. When the water was low enough it would break suction and automatically stop.

@matthewstencel82987 ай бұрын
To answer the question about Justin, Chris said Justin was the first KZbin friend Chris ever made. Justin runs his own excavation company and is working with Mr BealyGood (here on KZbin and one of Chris’s clients) on some new home sites for development. Chris has mentioned in the past they have both been so busy they just can’t find time to get together. He also talked about doing a bridge project with Justin and the 330. For the question about John, Chris said he got so busy he needed to go full time on his own. I think John is still running his company as well, and Chris may help if John has something really big going on, but they are now 2 separate companies.

Oh yes!! Love the burn vids!!Happy New Year early, in case i get busy! You know, living in NC gives you distinct advantages, weather wise. Other than the occasional swipe from a hurricane, you dont get much really bad weather. No huge snows(deepest one I lived thru, was 1972/73- we got 8 inches in Greensboro and were out of school for a week! Ice storms could be tricky though- i think there was one in 2009 that took out a HUGE tower near Raleigh. So most of the year you can work, in one manner or another.

Chris, I love your videos. A few years ago, an old tree fell across my daughter and her husband’s house, so they decided to demolish it and build a nicer and larger one. The brand new excavator arrived with an independent operator and he let me and my son-in-law operate it! I got perhaps 30 min at the controls and had a blast! Of course, I had to think through each movement, unlike you, who controls your equipment like you’re conducting an orchestra!

Two questions please. I know the thumb that Chris has on his 220 has a specific name but I cannot remember what its called. and 2. How many hours on a used Volvo 220 would you consider to be too many to consider buying? or would you not buy a used EC2020EL but instead buy new? I know with new there is warranty etc.... but there is also a massive price difference.
