The land is your canvas you see a finished piece of land and paint it with your equipment. This owners my favorite that you work for in your jobs . He has faith in your work and always keeps you working on massive projects.
As a landowner and fisherman this hurts😢 The only thing this pond will have going for it is the spring. With minimal trees providing little to no shade algae and water temperatures will skyrocket in the summer, bank stabilization from rain and cattle is now nonexistent. This will be a cow toilet though and through only for the cattle to enjoy.
It's always nice to go to a less stressful fun job after completing a harsh project that was hard on your nerves and the equipment. Stay relaxed. Thanks for the video!
The Pond Master is back to reclaim and improve a pond needing care. Looks like you found a HUGE Yellow Jacket nest. Out by yourself, staying in the cab is smart. Improvement step #1.
Love seeing Chris back where he belongs, making a pond beautiful again !! That must have been a huge yellow jackets nest you dug into. Glad you were in the cab, they've unforgiving.
It's gotta feel good to work on a pond that was built before you were born, and knowing that when you get finished, it will be something that can be enjoyed again for many years to come. Just the little bit you cleared on time laps made it look great already, can't wait to see the finished product, but I'm sure it will be amazing as all your jobs are.
It’s easy to understand why this is some of your favorite kind of work. The results are fantastic. It’ll look so good after a day or two with the grading bucket…
I'm so glad to see Chris back doing what he said he likes doing the best. Rescuing an overgrown pond. That property owner definitely has to have some really deep pockets as much work as Chris has been doing for them. That pond is definitely going to be a really nice fishing pond when Chris gets done on it.
What a lovely pond that will become beautiful when your finishing touches are applied. Wowza on the bees. They definitely did not like the bucket and you were smart to keep the doors & windows closed! Love your work, Chris. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along on this next adventure.
LetsDig18 in his element - pond and pond repair, brush removing, balloons, bees, muskrats, excavator wash, clean and maintain on a beautiful sunny day in a peaceful setting. Not to mention good soil and pasture. Looking good.
when you do projects that you really enjoy doing (clearing up old ponds) the results usually show by looking extra special good. Enjoy your videos and glad you made it safe from the bees.
Well, Chris, I feel your back where you belong, remodelling an old pond, and no doubt by the time you finish it will be another master piece ,great to tag along with you.
It looked like Honey Bee's !! This time of the spring they will swarm and just land in a tree to rest, and I'd say, you grabbed where they was resting and you knocked the whole swarm off and it took them a little while to regroup and get on another tree... But, I agree, I really like the clearing too myself !! And you are good at it Chris !! You make it look too damn easy Man !! lololol... Great as always !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Vegetation grows about the same here in northeast Oklahoma. If it isn't covered by a building or bush hogged regularly it will be an imperturbable jungle in three or four years. Balloon, bees, brush and beavers, quite the alliterative day for you. Thanks for sharing your projects.
Please have that mole on your left forearm looked at. It may be nothing, and I hope it is, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I really enjoy watching your projects. Hope to see your cabins come up and your farm resort open soon.
Great video,that is gonna be a beautiful pond and surrounding areas,be great for pasture and cows would have a great watering hole.your customer has some great visions on all the property he owns,definitely keeping you busy,between Beasley and this customer.great job as always.just keep doing what you do best,making great videos.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Hello Chris, I really do like how you take care of your equipment. Most of the people don't understand how important it is to keep maintenance up. Unfortunately, I have a big problem here in West Africa with our people keeping up the machinery. Looking forward to seeing more from your content. Thanks for all day work you do and provide us with these great videos.
@@cathiwim you see, if they had no training in childhood takes a little bit longer to teach adults the right thing to do with the machinery we work every day at the job sites. It is not an easy task to be all over the place to check them out. We do have a system in place. If you take care of your machinery, you will have a small bonus every month. So we do hope that we can slowly change their thinking. Have a nice day. Thanks a lot for your comments.
Chris I'm glad you're back doing pond work and clearing, when I saw you climb into the belly of the crusher and come out covered in concrete dust, I knew the days of crushing were coming to an end.. love watching you work..
This part of the job is your habit Chris and my goodness you have made one heck of a difference in this one video alone this pond is going to look fantastic by the time you finish working on it, thanks for another great video.
Thank you Chris for a return to pond life video's. There is so much to watch in every episode, that the eye wanders around the screen in search of the next interesting point. As usual, a chorus of thanks from your viewers for the return to water features. From UK.
I’m glad to see you back clearing and in the dirt again, Chris! 👌🏻👍🏻 Beautiful piece of property! He needs to call a bee keeper and those guys will come and get the queen and move the hive!
Chris…. like many others I really enjoyed the concrete crushing adventure (was something different and new) but returning to what you and we love you doing is the pond stuff…. it’s calming, soothing, quieter, greener and out in ‘nature’. Thanks for the therapy!
Good to see you back at a pond clean-up. I imagine there are some good fish in it. It was probably a huge yellow jacket nest you hit. Thanks for the video
A wonderful little Pond, what to lie in a well kept Surroundings District with Meadow Land and Tree Group. Round this Pond, on the Inside from Dam the Shrub very good to grow. What is to pull out! You Work with great to know. Glad my of the next Videos, where is to see the new building from the Shore. 💪👌💪
I'm glad you're doing pond work. Its a lot more interesting to me than some of the other stuff you do. I always enjoy clean up or dredging existing ponds/lakes.
My dad dug into a nest with the Bucyrus Erie 88B yrs ago. He said he dug into a bumble bee nest, but I wonder if it was yellow jackets that were just good sized. That shovel front didn't have the best sealing cab. That is what I hate when mowing. I'm always on alert about bee nests in trees or ground.
I saw the bees, and that was probably the biggest swarm I have seen to date, thank goodness you have a closed cab, that could’ve been interesting. Nice to see a pond clearing vid again, it’s like old home week, thanks for the video, enjoyed watching bees and all.
After that long torturpus concrete demo series I'm pretty sure Chris is seriously happy to move on to a pond rescue job. Of course it's fun for us subs to get to watch the master pond wisperer doung his magic on it. Gonna be an enjoyable series of course.
I'm glad you like this type of work Chris. It's my favourite, that and dredging ponds. I have to say, I never warmed to the concrete smashing job. I'm in UK by the way.
The pond whisperer hard at work making a beautiful piece of art. Looking good Chris. Honey bees would be up in the trees nesting. Ground hornets are in tunnels and more active early with the warmth in their tunnels keeping them active. Not sure what you got there but good luck with them. Either way you are upsetting their home so they will defend it. Fibrous and stringy with massive roots makes me think some kind of willow but not an expert. All willows love wet areas.
Boy those bees were pissed at your bucket.... better the buck than the operator I'm sure (gotten into a nest once.. Glad that was over 40 years ago). Working on the pond probably feels a bit like a vacation for you. We know how you feel about ponds.
Chris, the respect you have for all your equipment is unbelievable, I agree early oil changes are much better than long term oil changes, look after the equipment, and it looks after you. The other thing that amazes me was the fact you noticed the pond overflow pipe was installed backwards. You take so much pride in your work is what makes you the professional operator planner that you are. Keep up the great work always love and watch you videos. Thanks for the exiting content as always.
I like to get into area where there is a mess and I can transform it into a pleasing place. I get a great sense of satisfaction when the job is finished and the customer is happy with the results. I expect you get that same satisfaction for a job well done. What a great way to make a living doing what you love doing.
Thanks for sharing Chris, take care and see you in the next video. Louisiana sending prayers and positive energy for you and yours! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻
I don’t know about anyone else but it’s exciting for me to see you back on a clearing job after weeks of crushing concrete. Your clearing videos are my favorites.
I’ve been watching your channel for about 5 yrs. Pond clean ups redo’s is my favorite. That’s what got me watching is you wading out in pond on mats digging. I’m so into watching this kind of content my daughter at Christmas bought me a RC remote excavator love it!! Lol. As alway you teach and show us the proper ways to use the equipment and techniques.
Hey Chris, Beautiful pond area! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Is there a bee keeper in your area that could relocate the hive? If you're going to enlarge the pond - these bees are going to be in the way. Something to thunk about! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim
My friend and I that used to help with his grading business were clearing a lot on Lake Hartwell and we “found”about 15 yellow jackets nest on about an acre lot. He made a beekeepers outfit out of a pair of coveralls and duck tape. Got the lot cleared and only got stung about 3 times from the first nest.
That was a very satisfying video. You are making a good job clearing the brush. I enjoy the pond job as much as anything but enjoy all your work, except perhaps knocking down big trees. Keep up the good work Chris. Perhaps the bees atacked the excavator becase they thought a big wasp was threatening their nest. It is the right colour 😉
Great video's, at about 20:15 in the video if you look at the tops of the trees there seems to be a hive in the tree your about the clear and then you hit the tree and it falls, could be where your bee's came from. you are one of my favorite content creator's I follow. keep up the good work!
@@jaykay3080 ok there it is, 22:18 i see that now the OP said @ 20:15 so i wasnt seeing that. Looks like maybe a squirrel nest but who knows. Its also in the middle of the dam and the bees werent noticed until the end of it. Either way, good eye on seeing that fall!
[32:39] That cleaned up remarkably handily [8:20] For those with an island in their pond, that's what a good pond island looks like when it isn't maintained :-)
Luv this video! Scenery is beautiful and serene. Beautiful old pond will shine again when u r finished! Be careful of bees, nothing to mess with! God's blessings and be safe.
Hi Chris, it's so nice to see getting back to the way you started. I also love the clearing and pond work that you have now. With all those bee's your lucky you didn't get stung those bastards can get in anywhere. That is going to be a beautiful spot on the farm. Thanks for sharing Chris and have a good night and God bless you and bee 🐝 safe
I like the over the shoulder cam view. On my channel I started off with a chest view and found the over the shoulder view to be much better on my. Great work!
This is a lovely project to clear and open up the area to reveal the true natural landscape. Please try to setup your camera for time lapse as you progress and then give us a rundown. Your time lapse is nice to watch.
Looks so fantastic after you have just cleared the trees. Once you grade the edges this will be a very nice pond. Will you try and clear the island or let the owner deal with that?
