That is a sweet start to the slicking up the finish dam and pond, that rock really gives it a really nice finish look plus being functional, I like it, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
Yeah, That does really look good with the "Rock" on the face of the dam like that, I think !! And saves a lot of time in keeping the weeds, and grass down off of it. Got it really looking nice Chris !! Great as Always, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next...
I'd be doing the rock the same way. Chris, that's the best way to do it, place looks a world of difference since u started that project, awesome work, an thanks for sharing 🇺🇲✊👍🤙💪
It's looking really good. Won't be long to be all wrapped up and on your way to your next one. Yep, she's sure looking good. Turtle's already have moved in. Nothing wrong with that. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐢🐢
Looks like another piece of magic turning a pig's ear into a silk purse. So gratifying to see the finish after all the work you have put into the project. Brian must be happy
The Rock Ribbon on the Dam Flank, in the Height from the to Explanation Water level, a first Class Idea. Make a good limitation that the Water not can dig off the Shore by Wind. Chris You the Pond Master! 👌
Chris I know your uncle and parents are proud of how far you've come since you started and I also know it is a good feeling to have the equipment to do any job you set your mind to do!!! Happy digging!!!!!
If your trucking friend had a side dumping trailer ,the rock could be layed out on the matting ,as you are doing with excavator ! There will always be pond jobs that you need to lay rock out on the edge's! Even a fertilizer spreader trailer ,converted to spread rocks or stones , tow that behind the Komatsu ?
@20:15 "the young excavator caters to its ill mother trying to help nurture the mother excavator by helping feed it the nutrients it needs to get better as the mother excavator did for its offspring"
Thinking one of those off road tracked dump things with the bed that spins would work but you still have to finish with the mini thanks for the video 😊
Using your 350 and spreading it the way you did and coming in behind it with the other excavator smoothing it out was the way to go. It saved you a lot of trips and time. The pond is looking better every day. He must have a pretty big spring feeding that pond because it’s starting to collect a lot of water. He shouldn’t have a problem keeping it full. I don’t think that spillway will ever see water running over it with that big overflow pipe even in a hurricane.
If it is not in a flood zone and it is less than 25' tall then around here you can do pretty much anything you want on your own property here in Kansas. Some of the drier states out west claim ownership to all surface water and you are not allowed to collect your own water.
loving this, but just a thought, if you syarted at the furthest point, your trips would be getting shorter as you went along. i know same time either way. but phsycalogically , better.
What a difference you made by just laying out the rock on the dam,whole project just another impressive piece that is well done.just keep on doing your thing.be safe.almost there.kudos to you sir.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Laying fabric would take the place of a good work-out and installing rock on such a long dam face is time consuming but worth it in the end. All looking good. Brush Commando is also providing another perspective of your work too which is great.
Heard you saying your gonna be done this week bet your happy!!! Me myself I can't wait until you move on to the next project more videos to come!!! Happy digging!!!!
You know someone going to say, you need a wheel loader, still tear up the damn. Or a side dump, then your in and out of the equipment. Your right, just no good way. Looking good.
Your mini has done a lot of work for you in the past. But when you filled up the 350 bucket with your ditching bucket. It really shows how big your 350 is. I think this pond is as nice as Geoff's pond now. Time to start moving equipment again to the next job.
A good welder could fabricate a conveyor attachment for the dumptruck, with a hopper to dump into. This conveyorbelt could place the stone sideways, where you need it. Small gas or diesel engine with a hydraulic pump for the conveyor would do the trick to hook it to whatever dumptruck is available.
10 scoops to fill that monster size 350 bucket. That pond is filling quickly. The neighbors that lost their pond will soon have the new and improved pond
Now I understand where those turning front dump hoppers are good for. I also once saw a front end loader that dumped to the side for a highway building contractor.
Hi,I have been watching your channel for some time now in the UK,I would be interested to see the " huge " pond you did a while ago where you made a very large "hourseshoe" pond dam and an island in the center(very deep)is it full yet,could you give us an update please?
