Between Chris and the property owners that pond property looks like city parkland. Shoreline appears to be immaculate and with the new depth maybe it'll support fish.
Super impressed with how quiet that excavator runs while operating. For as large as it is...I would expect it to be much louder! I can watch dirt moving videos all day and all night long. Something about it soothes my soul. Thanks for the vids and thanks for sharing.
I watched this while eating dinner. But I noticed that I would quit eating when he was pushing clay with the dozer around that spillway. And I was also holding my breath (alot) 🤣
Excavator recovery from the mud is the coolest video but this is my favorite so far . Well planned , well organized , running like clockwork with a high production pace constructing something big with a small crew . Nice .
For a guy working on one cylinder, you sure got a lot of work done today. You have a perfect combination of tools on this job. Each one is being used for its exact intended use. Very interesting to watch.
Not a single drop of water will make its way through that pond dam except through the overflow. The pond is looking great! It shouldn’t take it long to fill up once you’re done. I hope you feel better soon.
Looking great Chris, just like you described it from the start. Man, get some rest, you need to get better, you're not gonna get better if you neglect yourself. Thanks Chris
Lookin' good Chris. I hope you're feeling better soon. That pond damn will last forever the way you've built it up. Barney certainly was a huge help. Watching this is a nice way to finish off tonight's RU-vid viewing. I had to wait till after watching a couple of episodes of my Wife's favorite PBS show she had me cuddle up with her. Gotta keep the peace when you're married after all.
Man chris the old haul.truck.looks damn near new my friend. It dont even look like an old one anymore except for the design . If ot wasnt for that you wouldnt be able to tell its an old machine. 100% improved
Chris, if I remember correctly you had the same issue last year about this time, could it be seasonal allergies. But we admire your dedication to the owner and your viewers, giving us the best outcome you can offer. I am glad Todd was available to help you, would've been a long, slow day. Get better soon.
@theyetirulrs : I hear that them vinyl decals are a bit expensive for April Fool's Day pranking. But I guess you can shop around and get a better price, or just use paper decals if it's just for a prank.
@@bebo5558 : I'm pretty sure that the paper decal would look a bit odd placed over the vinyl decal. But, of course, a couple of rainstorms later the paper one would be gone anyway. Best Regards
My hats off to you Chris. Your sick and you still push on to get your project closer to being finished before the rain sets in. Take care and make yourself a Hot Totty when you get home. 👍👍😎🇺🇸
Professionally run projects speak for itself. Your project represents a well oiled machine! I've learned different procedures for running our equipment best tutorial ever!
That beautiful red clay… such a perfect building material to make this dam solid… and how lucky to find it close by… love the progression… fascinating as usual… keep up the good work Chris… but take your time to get healthy… we all need a little downtime to get back at 100 %
Barney looks awesome with the new decals, and the dam is looking amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product! Hope you get to feeling better soon!!!
LOL first time the roller came though i hadn't realised it was sped up, made me laugh. Dam is looking amazing, really nice to see your work and the progress
True dedication to the job Chris!!!!!!!! Many folks would just have turned over in bed and gone back to sleep with that nasty cold!! Perhaps that's one of the reasons that you are a successful and respected operator in your line of business !!!!!!! Keep up the good work - not much more to do now and at the end I bet it looks as if that dam had been there forever!!!!!!!! Cheers
I’ll tell you what Chris if a person didn’t know no better you would think that Barney just rolled off of the assembly line because whoever painted that truck done a superb job and when y’all put the decals on it I mean man it it looks like a brand new truck no dents in it or anything so I think you fool around and found you a damn good haul truck that will last you forever so anyway my friend another great video and I hope you get to feeling better so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming brother
Hope you feel better soon, Doctor Phil recommends, make your favorite soup with a shot of hot sauce added, a couch, blanket, a dog a remote and RU-vid.
My Irish doctor says drink whiskey till you pass out and when you wake up it will have driven the illness from your body, or the hangover will be so bad you won't even think about the illness.
It’s amazing how methodical Chris is when scooping dirt. If I hit the ‘advance 10 seconds’ button on RU-vid right when his scoop moves toward the truck, the next frame shown is him making another scoop. You can do this several times in a row and he’s just scooping over and over again. He is so efficient at moving dirt. It’s no wonder he gets the job done quickly.
You really are a master at time management. As a young man, I underestimated how much you can get done if you consistently take advantage of every little pocket of time you have. A great example is refueling your equipment at the end of the day and putting the truck bed up so you don't have to dump water when you return. It all adds up. Young people in any field could learn a lot by watching your professionalism.
Hi from uk chris👋👍 hope you are feeling better brother, nothing worse than being under the weather I just hope your feeling under the sunshine by now👍💪 pond dam just seems to of shot up this time round considering the work load involved doin great job as always and did I still say like last comment that barney looks 😍 ravishing sir 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon👍👋
That pond dam is looking great. I'm sorry you're feeling under the weather and yeah, I hope you feel better. You've done an awesome job as usual with this. Looking forward to the next installment.
Damn is looking good! Amazing how just moving dirt and cleaning up makes it look so nice! Hope your feeling better. That head cold stuff went through up about a month ago. Miserable!!!!
Praying u get to feeling better. You have an amazing work ethic, even when u are sick. Project is making amazing progress and looks magnificent, as usual!!! God's blessings and get some rest.
Just watching your videos and how you talk about the soil best for a pond dam, this dirt looks like some really good packing clay soil! I learn a lot from you my friend! As always thanks for sharing another great job Chris! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
MAN THAT TRUCK LOOKS GOOD. You sure have moved a ton of dirt and still a heck of a lot left, but job sure is looking good. man watching your videos sure does make this old disabled vet feel like a kid again. sure wish id had a chance to run some of that equipment. great work bud. take care of that head cold. its going around everywhere. can't wait to see the finished product on this one.
Rolling, rolling, rolling keep that truck a rolling. That's how it's done. Steady as she goes. I can understand about even when you don't feel good , you keep on going. I ain't never had a bank to send me a get well soon card.
That is a lot of red dirt that you have moved off that upper area. The repaired dam looks impressive and can not wait to see what it will look like when finished. Thank you and have a good day.
It’s really surprising what a difference having the decals on. I know I said the grill is awesome but having the decals really sharpens up the overall look. I saw dirt perfect bought a haul truck too.
I was just thinking that. Decals don’t do a damn thing for the performance of the machine, but just the look says ‘much newer”. Funny how our brains work!
Hey hey hey Chris. You doggone near dropped that dozer blade on my toe there. I'm keeping my eye on you while loading the truck. Don't want those new decals scratched. The dam is really looking good. As hard as you work, don't forget to take care of yourself and get well soon. Winston is probably ready to make you feel better.
That is looking so much better now Chris.🙂 Hope your head cold improves rapidly for you, can't be any fun having that while needing to concentrate.🤔 Thanks for sharing. 😉Get well soon.😊
I think you may have been trying to see how many of us would blink when you were moving that dirt on the second lift with the dozer! I admit I did, thinking you were going to hit the camera! Nice close-up shots of the action as always Super Scooper. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Working while sick just down right sucks ass. I do it too. I hate it but, it has to be done. Thankfully guys like us usually work alone so its not toooo bad, but still sucks ass. I hope you feel better soon!
I hope there's more than one overflow culvert, seems like there's enough water and surface area in that pond to overwhelm one if it rained enough in a short period.
Chris, mix you up a half pint of white liquor, 1/4 cup raw honey, juice from one lemon, and 2-3 teaspoons of fresh grated ginger. Drink about half a coffee cup at night time and you will be good as new in a day or two. If you drink two cups you will feel like $#?+ In the morning but you won't have a cold anymore....lol
