    It’s crazy that you’ve been on this job for one day and it looks considerably better , all the cuts are pulled so much sharper and everything just looks more uniform. Chris , I know the bad weather hits you in the wallet but maybe you can take a day or two off and share a order of tater rounds with Winston?

    Lots of wind, rain here just above the Florida Keys and some tornados up in Broward county.

    Chris, I have lived on the Southeast Coast in the paths of hurricanes my whole life. As such, I have come to understand that like all of nature, Hurricanes do both good and bad, depending on the circumstances. (i.e.) The Ian Hurricane has devastated the center of Florida from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Ocean, which is the bad of nature. But, for others, the rain from Ian which will be a Tropical Storm as it travels near your neck of the woods, will be a blessing for people like you and Beasly. You will get the needed rain to wet the forest so that you can burn the piles of debris and your Home Farm and those at the Horse Farm while Beasly will get the water he needs to fill his huge 5-acre pond. That is the Good of the storm. But you will also get the Bad as well, on projects that you are currently working on becoming a muddy mess which either prevents you from working or will make your life miserable while you try to work. Just a thought from a fan of many years.

  • @tomcarr1358
    @tomcarr1358 Před rokem +1

    One day , perhaps in the winter when it is too wet to move dirt, it would be nice to see all the ponds you created in the last year or so in their finished state and full of water. Perhaps if you have recordings of the sites before work started it would be very interesting to see ' before and after'. Also to hear from you about soil/dirt qualities you require to make pond or lakes containment reasonably water tight and the grading of materials/dirt for berms, banks and pond/reservoir floors. Shortage of clay in some parts of the UK obliges farmers to use butyl sheeting to line artificial irrigation lakes in an area which may not have more that 12 ins of rain annually yet expects good yields from potatoes, sugar beet and some vegetables. Grain/cereal crops are seldom irrigated. Your drone sequences are marvellous for orientation of the larger sites.

    As nice as a large pond of fresh water is WHY is so LITTLE put into the aesthetics .
    They always look anything but natural . Nothing but round or rectangular and usually void of any landscaping of trees (and irregular in shape) etc,
    Considering the base expense to JUST put in a hole with water WHY not spend 15-20% more and make it attractive/natural ??

    • @lt1nut
      @lt1nut Před rokem

      I think that we need to keep in mind that residential landscaping is often done by the homeowner over time as a home improvement "hobby" and due to expense. I wouldn't know where to start on designing or figuring out where to plant what species of tree (how far from the shoreline) and more so what to do with the dam if grass wasn't acceptable (bush/shrub/ground cover). I do know that stuff down there is different and grows much faster than up here in Wisconsin (and then there's that damned Kudzu vine/weed that like to take over and kill everything) but imagine that it still takes years to look natural or "right".
      I agree on the initial shape of the ponds but "mimicking nature" is probably more expensive to construct (and maintain) due to the longer (linear feet, length) shoreline but yields a smaller (surface are) pond.
      Customer: "So it would cost me more and be smaller?😯🤔🙄"

      Yeah our power went off about an hour ago and are Transformer blew up so hopefully it's not 3 weeks this time to get our power back on at least it's cool out it's not that not that hot but later on the day since that storm pulls out the humidity and the heat will come back that'll be fun I hear people in Fort Myers the water came up almost three stories high where Tampa Bay and up here at Hudson the water left the high and dry out as far as you can see 40 ft depth water it's down to Mud now later on when the storm passes over by East Coast to water will come back but that's an odd thing I'll tell you almost like a tidal wave type of thing where the water goes out and then comes back in

    Here in the upstate of SC we've been downgraded to the 4 - 6 inch predicted rainfall range. Hope it doesn't get too bad for ya'll, but you'll probably have lots of work after the storm. Good luck and stay safe.

    Sometimes others think they know what they are doing end end up in a huge mess - prime example. Will be lovely for owners when all done.

    Fair play a lot of trades won't touch something someone else messed up.

    You need to show the 5 acre pond after the hurricane so we can see how much it filled. I bet it's at least half full if not more. Also show your area to see the aftermath. Stay Safe, Good Luck.
