This whole series was like driving across America. The stumping was crossing Texas. How you mentally handled that MASSIVE undertaking I'll never know. Actually unbelievable. Sheesh. But.... Of course, right down to the last scoop of dirt and BAM!! Yet another perfect pond project completed. So we'll see what's on the agenda for LetsDig18 next! FANTASTIC, Chris!!! Fantastic!!!
Great finish to a fine job Pond Master. All of us who follow you know the hundreds of stumps you dug out and the thousands of excavator buckets of material dug to make this happen - most assuredly Mr. Geoff is pleased with what you have accomplished (with help from Todd, Robert, Geoff and others [AND your mechanic!!!] ). Honorable mention to V220, Wilma dozer, Barney haul truck, Kenny Komatsu dozer, Rodney Roller, Taki skidsteer and Uncle Jon`s skid steer to help finish.
@@Phil_86 agree with you on that he is a master at what he does from trees to the finished Dam just a pristine job credit to him and his work ethics for sure
I’m in the uk, and usually have a look to see what you’ve been on with just before I go to sleep. I’d not realised it’s been nearly 5 months in the making but all them drone shots have just brought it all back and made me a little sad it’s over! You really have created a little piece of paradise, when it’s full of water and fish and all the grass is grown it’s going to be 1 beautiful spot on a sunny day
The great thing about the videos Chris puts together is they show dirt work Is much more complicated than you could imagine looking from the outside in. I've been around new construction and development for most of my life yet I've learned a lot from watching this great catalog of videos.
I think I speak for all of us, when I say THANK YOU Chris & Geoff, for bringing us along on this project. It's been one heck of a ride. From a dream to reality. We can't wait to see it full of water.
What impresses me the most about this build is for the very most part one man did it all. I know Chris had help at times but this pond build was on him and him alone. Not just the excavation work but the entire build. Every tiny detail was on his shoulders. I'm not surprised there isn’t a drawing specifying the aspects of the pond build because Chris had it all in his head… no need for a drawing. It was a hell of a lot of work for one man to take on… and get it right. How many times did we see Chris start a video at sunrise and end it close to sunset? I’d say he earned a few days of vacation time. Well Done Christopher.
Thank you Chris for the great overview. And the RU-vid world got to see all of it! Such a wonderful documentation for the property also. Great job Chris and the Bealy family!🌳🌳
Wow Chris, my heart went out to you just stumping all that area,the breakdowns and burning all the brush piles. It was great to see Timmy giving you a hand. A wonderful long project and one I’m sure Mr Bealy is going to love for years to come. You truly are the Pond Master and I salute you sir.
Hi Chris you must be so proud of what of what you have achieved, I’ve watched every video you have put out on this pond, I’m British now retired living in Spain 🇪🇸 (10years) and every day I look forward to watching your next video (and DP,s) our country is in mourning at the loss of our Queen, very sad time . Thanks again for everything 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Quite the nice achievement you and Geoff and your crew have accomplished Chris. It was a treat to tune in and see your arm wrestling matches of stumps drought, rain/ mud and finally the heat and dust. Your compilation was great , although I think more BONFIRES we're in order.🤔🤔🤔 Thank you during all of the busy, hectic days for allowing us to ride along with the process. 👍👍👍 Can not wait to see it full and how he will stock it.
Yep was an awesome ride bro and all your toys got a play in this large sandpit. Thanks to Geoff for his contribution of pizza, camera shots and drone footage along the way. The help from your friends must have a mention also. Now what next. Safe travels to you all.
Credit to you Chris and the Bealy Family for letting us tag along with this Pond Build and look forward to seeing what Mr & Mrs Bealy do on the rest of there project . This Volg should be used as a What can be accomplished when you have the Correct Person on the Job. Look forward to the Bealy Sub (Drone :) Mr Bealy let it Rain :).
Another video of your exceptional knowledge in land management and pond construction, not to overlook your professionalism as a business owner. Great job, great videos, and my sincere thanks for letting me and all your fans watch it as it actually took place and then once again in a single video from start to finish. It is so nice to know that there are still contractors who are honest, trustworthy, and professionally competent, with notable work ethics, and who take personal pride in what they do.
What a brilliant result going to be many a fun time on that dam well done Chris & Jeff and all who put time in on this project , has been a fantastic to watch from here in Australia cheer's all.
That was a lot of work in a short amount of time considering the breakdowns and working with John part of each week. Looks great and I can’t wait to see the pond filled.
Although I watched every episode in this project, it was still enjoyable to see the “time lapse” recap of what I expect might be the biggest project Mr. Chris has undertaken to date!
Thank you for taking us along on what I call an epic pond build, this was definite series on what it takes to start from scratch thru to the finish. The effort you put into documenting this with all the issues from breakdowns, weather, extreme heat, and at times looking like a dust bowl from lack of rain, well, all I have say is, it was awesome young man. Best part for me was watching/ hearing the ole 6 kitty run, oh ya, the SMALL fires🙄.Thanks for the ride along sir, great series.
Watched beginning to end Chris, I couldn't visualize the scope, really until now at the end...from the 1st clearing and building the smaller pond to this point is an amazing accomplishment - with you doing so much single handed. I hope we come back for a look as it fills. Another outstanding job, thanks for bringing us along!
I have watched this project from start to finish and you did a great job. The efficiency in the way you went about it was genius to maximize your time and fuel. Great Job.
As always turned out amazingly. Have to imagine that was north of 100k? So much work! And the drone shots of your fleet parked waiting for the next adventure was awesome!!!
Chris, would it be possible to give us an update video on your childhood oak tree this Fall (transplanted 4 years ago)? Congrats on finishing this huge project. As always, completed perfectly. I'm sure the clients, Bealy Good and Mrs. Bealy Good, are excited about how nice their pond turned-out. 👍👏👊💪❤✨✨
As usual you have done a fantastic job with the 5 archer pond. We have enjoyed watching you and Geoff have fun with each other as the work went on. Well done Chris…
Wow 4-1/2 months it just seems longer than that! I guess it simply comes down to your work ethic and the drive to get it done! There a very few individuals that can even begin to match what you do! I honestly believe that ANY OTHER company or person would have taken at minimum a year or more to get this pond / lake done in the time frame that you have! Congratulations on a great project Chris you deserve any and all accolades you should get for this build. Well done sir!
Heck, this build was a thousand times better than any improvement series network television calls "reality programming"! The additional video provided by Mr Bealy really gave it that necessary extra perspective to the daily activity for the audience to have a more detailed understanding of how it all came together, all in all very entertaining. Great job Chris and crew and Mr. Bealy Good!
Seems such a long time since the first video on the Bealy Farm, the walk through the trees for the first pond. Time, imagination, hard work and of course money has created what will be a magical place. Thanks for taking us along.
This has been quite a transformation from what it started out as. It has been a very interesting trip following your work throughout this process. As I remember, you also built the little pond some time back. I am just amazed at how clean the area cleaned up after all the trees and brush were removed. Now it will be interesting to see in the future how the site evolves as the pond fills and the grass starts growing. Thanks for many great videos from here. Congratulations to you on a great job and to Mr. & Mrs. Bealy Good for a great vision.
Hi Chris Mark and baby Logan great vido on the pond and u did a fantastic job on that Logan was over the moon whit it and keep up the great work and videos
Chris you have made a work of art watched every episode and.enjoyed every minute. You can tell you formed a vision and new where all the pieces needed to be done Well done Mr Pond Magician!!
Hi Chris, big fan here from KC. I truly have enjoyed this series, you've created a beautiful pond. Can't wait to see it fill up. Seems like you and Jeff have actually become good friends. Hopefully that's a long lasting friendship. All the best!
This is the first big project I've followed from beginning to end; I'm quite sad it is over however I'll be keeping on checking out Geoff's channel for ongoing updates (and of course, avidly watching all of yours). Brilliant result - thanks for sharing it with us all :)
I really liked the end video with you and Geoff sitting and talking under the trees about all the logistics. You should do that more at the beginning and end of the projects!!!
Cant wait until it is Full - Fish introduced and the Grass is Growing ! What a Huge Project it was and it Turned out to be even Better ! The Owner is very Pleased and so will be the Fish ! Again from us in Australia ****CONGRATS**** to You and Your Team ! Many Cheers from us - Job well done and Brilliant Overview !!!!
Every day I come from work to watch the immense amount of work that you, your equipment and your crew get accomplished. Congratulations on this project. Excited to see it fill with water!
I’ve watched every video of you & Mr Bealygood from the start, during and now the end. Congratulations on a splendid project. I do hope we get a monthly update as the pond fills and the grass grows. 🇬🇧
I've got a couple 'wow's'. How many Days editing to bring this to us? WOW! 5 months of cutting, stumping, digging, dumping and preening. WOW! Aside from the pond area itself, the rest looks like you hand combed the place. WOW! Great job greatly enjoyed. And you farm too! Next?
Amazing journey since April till September. Huge respect for your work Chris. You manage and get on with everything. Kuul calm and collected. Mr Bealy is happy as Larry! Now for that rain!!
Just want to say it was a great series. I've been with you on this since day one. When you get the driveway into the property and then you dug the first pond. I was with you on that one and all the way through on this one. Great videos. A lot of work. Thank you very much. I hope you follow up when it's got water in it so we can see the finished product. What else can you say? 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔥🌲🌳🌧️
Amazing finished project!! I've watched you every morning and enjoyed every minute. You are a true artist when it comes to designing and completing a great pond. Your attention to detail is what I like most about you and your work ethic. I know you really enjoyed working for and with the owner, The Bealy Family, which made the project even better. 5 months of pure enjoyment for me and all of the subscribers!!! Keep up the great work Chris and look forward to more great videos.
Chris you are surely a true earth artist. What an amassing project you have created among many others. You attention to detail in your projects and equipment such a pleasure to watch weather itis clearing a house lots, cleaning old ponds or building a 5 acer one you take pride in the work you do and it shows in the end results. Thank you for sharing your work and creations with us.
I'm sooooo impressed by your vision and skill. I've loved 'almost' every minute of this project. Stumping and burning wore me down a bit. 🤣🤣 Congratulations on a job done well. 👍
At first, I was a little sad to see all that forest disappear. But as I look at it, there's still plenty of forest, and now there's a big pond forming. Should be great for all the critters, and there's going to be fish in it too. It's gonna be a really nice place to go for most of the year with family, especially kids and/or grandkids.
This was such a great project. Can't believe how much work it took and how much everything has changed! I love the white oaks you left near the head section...nice trees with space between them is awesome. Putting a house way in the back would be super, super, super cool. Can't imagine what this must have cost but credit to the owner for having the finances to make this incredible project happen, and also the commitment to the maintenance it's going to require.
Have followed almost from day one. So impressive to see all the work that was put in. From a wild forest to a beautiful landscape is not only a work of art but one that will last a lifetime. Enjoyed watching these videos.
What an amazing project! I'm sure you are quite proud of how this turned out (as you should be)! Thanks for taking the time to video/share this with everyone. You and Geoff are quite the comedic duo! PS My mom got me a LetsDig18 tee shirt for my 46th birthday on Labor Day! She was freaking out about shipping and said you responded right away ....your response made her day 🙂
That was freaking awesome. Thanks for this review of what you accomplished, Chris, thanks for the drone video you supplied, Geoff, and thanks to all the guys who helped make this whole thing happen. What a monumental project and thanks for bringing us all along. It's been fun.
I don't comment a lot, but I've been subscribed for some time now. I enjoy watching your vids and this was a monumental project. You and your crew did a beautiful job with planning, design and execution. Looking forward to seeing updates as the pond comes to life.
Thank you Chris for sharing your work projects with us viewer's. This pond build series has been great to watch as are all of your videos! You articulate them well and are a master of your craft sir.
This seems the kind of job that would be well outside the scope of your size of business. I'm blown away by your skill and professionalism shown in achieving this masterpiece. Well done Chris
Hell of a Job Chris !! Really cool to just sit and watch, from just a trail to ride on , to each phase of the clearing. To all the "Stumping" which I'm sure at times , just about drove ya, Bat shit crazy !! lmao.... And all the stacking, and burning, ect. Man , It really turned out nice !! You can be proud of this one man, a LOT went into this one, not counting all the brake downs on the machines, plus down time but, when you got going, you all "Your Help" too !! All you guys really kicked ass , and got it done !! Really enjoyed watching this one, as I do all your videos !! May be you can catch your breath now with this one done...lololol... And can't wait for a few months down the road when it is all filled up and grassed in, going to look awesome out across there !! Congrats !! And Have a Great Evening !! And as always, On too the Next !!
Congratulations on completing the job, it looks fantastic, I would never have imagined that was going to look like that. I love the interesting shape of the pond. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding...& Congrats.... Anyone who doubts the ability & workmanship needs to review this 'series..... The Fish should be happy in all of that, my grandfather would have loved to have something like that in the backyard.
what's been months for you and the guys has been mere few hour's for us viewers and it has turned out really nice especially the two building sites, can't wait to see this one full of water and fish swimming. Well done. 👌
Just an amazing transformation you’ve done here. So much work, time, machinery, knowledge, skill. Can’t wait to see video of this lake filled and look forward to watching Bealys videos on that progress.
This project was amazing to say the least. I followed you everyday. I couldn't wait to see what you were doing day to day. The stump removal was boring to you, but interesting to most of us. I knew you how were feeling by the tone of your voice and how you were running the excavator. You are a fantastic operator. Your motions are fluid and precise. Your explanations helped me understand what, why and how you were going to make it work. I applaud you for your perfection. It turned out great! Can't wait to see it full of water. Good Job Chris and all the people you had working with you!!!
Massive project, executed to perfection - what a beautiful pond site this will be when filled with water. Must be one of your biggest projects to date.
Thanks you for allowing your viewers to "tag" along with you on this build. It's amazing and can't wait to see it full (and full of fish). Hope Mr. Bealy Good allows us to "fishing" with him. Great Job.
Thanks for a brilliant series Chris, I’m not quite sure what I’m gonna do each morning.. nothing to watch now… What is next for the pond Master? Absolute respect to you Chris.
