What a transition on this property from the installation of the sewer line for the old farm house, to harvest of timber and clearing the land,building the small pond and then the big pond, grading slopes and transitions on grades for proper drainage ,building roads, digging basement, silt pond etc. Great work!!@
Contractor, resource manager, machine operator, project manager, outside resource manager, machine maintenance tech. And Chris wheres all those hats very well. Another very productive day. Simply amazing.
I went waaaaay back to your early uploads this morning, brought a smile to my face... the first video I remember ever seeing was the 'beaver dam busting' one from a LONG time ago.
Been watching for over 10 years. Would love to see you and John sit down and talk about all the projects y’all have done in the past. And the future for John and yourself both.
VERY COOL & INNOVATIVE gracing the viewers with the Timelapse of the pond filling up!!….your skills (videography) just keep getting better & better!!!😎✌🏾👍🏾
I am constantly amazed with your skill. I wish the contractors in my area had 5% of your skill. Fog, not steam. (Steam would have killed all of Bealy’s fish.) You had it correct in yesterday’s video.
Magnificent work, just a fun video to watch. I've said this before, but Chris I began watching in March 2020 and I'm addicted to your channel. At that time, I went back and watched every video you made, and now looking forward to the new daily posting. I don't start my day without first watching your videos. Even on vacation, I'll watch on my IPad with headphones. There are different types of channels I follow, but yours is number one and the first I watch. I've learned so much. It's a fun, educational and wholesome relaxing channel. Thanks again.
It's a privilege to watch LetsDig18 transform the Bealy Good Farm - the planning in even this day's work takes experience and skill. Looking good for sure.
You've turned that place into an oasis. Imagine waking up to that view every day. You are an artist, sir. I have enjoyed watching you transform the Bealy place for the last 2 years. Thanks for sharing with us and bringing us along for the journey.
Hey Chris, Lots of work at the Bealy-Good Chicken Estate site. It looks like the "Turkey Estate" sites have potential to be even bigger. This sediment pond is a great idea that turns that whole area into a usable and pretty spot. Now that you have spent some time on the 330, apart from the obvious differences in bucket, stick, and boom size, what differences did you notice between operating it and the 220? (from an operator's point of view). Cheers, EJ
Timely Tip: Clean your windows each morning before your begin filming. Not just use the wipers. You can see out but we can't from the GoPro view. At 7:55 things cleared up a bit but maybe it was just a better sun angle.
Oh Yeah, Turned out really nice so far Chris !! That should solve that little wet area that was there, plus it looks a whole lot better this way , I think !! Sounds like you have a lot of upcoming jobs with all the machines getting moved out to other places, Well. hope you enjoy your Holiday weekend !! Going right now to get the chicken of the "Pit Boss' !! been smokin' some leg quarters all afternoon for dinner, gonna grub and hit the Fat chair for the evening !! lololol... Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening yourself, And, On too the Next !!
The "new" Hundy is a very capable machine. Be interesting to hear Mike's thoughts next time he visits :). Looking forward to the upcoming big jobs and the future Bealy developments., Thank you for bringing us along on your excellent work Chris
Its great to watch the machine loading the dirt.....another great video....Also good to see you operating different machines, now thats an experienced operator...Stay safe Chris
I always enjoy your videos.😅 The same as dirt perfect , but different. On the ponds in that area is there a lot of clay to seal the the bottom of the pond. I've had ponds or I worked in the past, and had to use Bentonite to get them to hold water. Cat litter, works great for holding moisture.. Thanks for the great videos
The new rare branch from 5 Acre Pond a very good Idea! The make the Pond Skyline Naturalness. The Drain as Passage is that wath Mr Bealy for his Inspect Drive must have. You have always Ingenious Idea and can the by the Work to Change. The Video 👍👌
You don’t disappoint…nice work and another beautiful mud hole…how long before you can stock it with mosquitoes?…bealy good should buy those new ones with the malaria already on them…lol!
When you got that pipe, finally, rolled into the ditch and it started floating away so fast, I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how you were going to handle the situation. But you sure did, in record time, you old (young?) smarty. lol God bless.
What fun with the contrast with the two machines, one hogging out and the other doing precise and detailed work. The more you run the big one, the smoother you have become with that, so finer detail might be there also. Sort of low resolution and high resolution versions really. Thanks for the neat video. It's going to look great as it matures, already looks like it has been there a while. Sounds like some really busy and no doubt interesting times to come. Be well.😉
Awesome day for the Bealy Good project and Chris i think you should relax for the weekend from what you said you are going to be very busy nice job on everything and you run the 330 XL very smooth ain’t no machine that you can’t run with ease 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
From being covered in trees to what you have now is sure one big transformation bro and still plenty more to do for Mr bealy good too. Safe travels. Ken..
You sure can see how much faster the big excavator can move dirt..like you said, time is money! Chris I’d love to know how far out you’re booked for work..when you go down the list of jobs it sounds like several months?
Love your videos.I watch you and Dirt Perfect. Both the same, But so different. I used to dig alot of ponds in Texas. Some had very little clay content. i would use Bentonite (Cat Litter)...The pond your working at, is that clay in the soil ? It looks shiny, where the track go across.. Great work
I watch another channel that has a 6019B or a 385C. They load the trucks in 2 passes. I don't know what it is about watching these machines carve out a new landscape but it is amazing. Same with you except the story is much nicer & We get to see the results. Thanks for the videos my friend. I would really like to come up & watch in person.That would be a hoot.
I was watching few moments ago nice watching again with the water 💧 going into new pond lamscaping come on a treat certainly no your levels Chris its blended in like iceing a cake great 👍 watching 👀 Chris
Thank you Chris because inquiring minds 'Do' need to know how many Heaping Helping Hyundai buckets-0-dirt it takes to fill the Volvo dump truck!, thank you also for the man6 different camera angles, I really do enjoy your work ethic, it is very cathartic to watch!
I'm sure glad your grandfather took you along to work with him when he were young I wish we could tell him the joy you have brought all of us with your videos
the Hyundai definitely works better with the soil you are working now. that bucket size matches that soil type for economic use. for use in transferring piles the Hyundai could probably manage a larger bucket. figuring out how to use tools is a stage one must go through when introducing a new tool. not sure if there are settings that can be changed to give better brake out force without loss of boom speed.
I sit in an office chair to watch your video's and when you have the camera set up inside the cab, I find myself spinning the chair in sink with the camera. Each time the machine swings, so do I.
Nice! But as what your digging looks more like a river opening than another dam I amazed old Mr. Belly Good hasn't got you setting up for a draw bridge so he drive his boat up in there. Actually it does look like a good fishing that little finger.
