    Another job well done! I’ve come to expect nothing less when you finish a project. If I hadn’t seen it when you started this project I wouldn’t know there used to be a massive ditch between the house and pond. When you leave a job it’s like you were doing it for yourself. A lot of people wouldn’t take the extra time that you do to make the finished projects look so good.

      I do to but he stays so damn busy it's hard for him to get back to show jobs later. I wish he would go back and show all the jobs that's he's done after a year or so of being complete so we could see what they look like now. He does occasionally if he has a minute to stop if he's passing by one. Also most of his jobs are so far out and spread over such a big are he doesn't go out in the area where they are very often if at all. He's just so busy working 7 days a week 10 to 14 hours a day. Really wish I could still work like that but I broke myself up making someone else rich before I could get out on my own. Now I have to be satisfied watching Chris's videos to see the work I loved doing.

    I always like the before and after on the “ slickenem” up phase of the project, the fruits of the labor you might say. When you were peeling dirt with the dozer on the fine adjustment part of the vid, you could tell the ground was well compacted by how the dirt was rolling over and out in front of the blade, just coming off in sheets, thanks for the update and the ride along sir.

  • @deanhanchett379
    @deanhanchett379 Před rokem +1

    Holy cow, I thought I heard you want to say that the 250 wasn’t very smooth compared to the 220. You would never know that from the way you spread that sand. Looked really smooth. Great job

    John's equipment is taking a beating on this job... Chris breaks the dozer blade and John's skid steer sounds like its ready to throw track... 🤣🤣
    I hope the seed and straw goes down quick or the ground will need another touch up if it rains hard.
    John keeps after his dump truck... it still looks like new.
    The two of you do real nice work.

    In Utah we can’t build ponds because water is owned by governmental agency’s to regulate the flow.
