This is exactly what i wanted to see . Often wondered how you set up for projects like this . Thanks for sharing this with us . To me its trees and land . To u Chris its a masterpiece ready to be relieved
@@jimgraham4700 Im from Ireland so i dont fully understand making ponds and the work involved. Its a credit to Chris and his team for showing us what they go threw everyday
I agree!. Sure would like to see more of this with each of his videos. My enjoyment of these videos is trying to figure out and follow what/how he is attempting to do the job and why. While sometimes it is very obvious, other times I wish he would consider showing a simple sketch/drawing. By the end of the project it is always clear. I also appreciate him explaining the logic/calculations, the state regulations/codes (25ft rule) and the "better" way to finish the job.
I really wish him and some of the other CZcamsrs gave ballpark price figures. I kinda under why they don’t, but it would be good information to most viewers. To know what something like this would cost them if there looking to have similar work done. Also could help small or new business learn how to bid and estimate jobs better, or how accurate there estimating process is.
This gonna be an amazing first for me at looking how you noodle the estimate. I can’t imagine what the Beally Good job was. Thanks for lifting the curtain to greatness!!
My goodness 😳 another big project to look forward to. This looks like a great opportunity for some awesome content. Let's hope the owner is willing to let you take on this project. Cool to see the how to process. 😎
The owner learned like us all. Not complicated says Chris, for him that is ! 😳 A lot of trees to get down, a lot of dirt to move around, looong pipes. I don't think the owner has any other choice. Not a DIY job for sure !
Thank you for walking us through this project overview! Very interesting to see and it was almost like walking right beside you (except cooler and no bugs). So thanks to your buddy too!
We've got 2 36" tiles under our drive for a small creek which only overflowed once in 34 years... But last year it overflowed twice!!! And you're right!!! Its VERY impressive what water can do!!!!!!! I spent a small fortune on gravel replacement and many hours on the tractor repairing it!! Good luck on the project Mr LD18 :-)
@@nattydreadlocks1973 five acres is pretty big. Most entire house lots are an acre or less. Lol Mow an acre with a push mower you'll change your mind. You don't work outside do you??
@@nattydreadlocks1973 Did you watch the Bealy Good pond build? Videos currently playing on Kris's channel and the Bealy Good channel. That pond will end up at about 5 acres.
@@travisdavis3974 Bricklayer. I push mow 3/4 acre lot. Water is measured in surface acre. It's not the same as land arereage. During summer when the water level goes down, your pond becomes considerably smaller. A small pond is twice as difficult to manage then a larger one due to water quality changes.
@@ArnieD17 It looks like its going to be a monster. Is it a surface water pond? If so, in the summer months it will shrink in size due to evaporation and the water quality will become more difficult to control. Factor in Canadan geese love shallow water and are prone to not migrate, a 5 surface acre pond might not be enough. I always advocate for 10 surface acres or more.
This is a great video Chris, appreciate you bringing us along for such a detailed walk-through. The tours of the sites before you work are always some of my favorite parts, great to see your vision for the job with you and see the zone first hand. Plus something about these old overgrown ponds-- reminds me of spots I loved riding my bike around and exploring as a 12 year old 👍
Chris -- I imagine that the various stats CZcams shares with you bare this out, and that you are well aware of it/them, but I thought I'd reinforce what "Ben M" stated above -- "The tours of the sites before you work are always some of my favorite parts, great to see your vision for the job with you and see the zone first hand." -- is one of the two main reasons for the growth and success of your almost 600,000 subscriber-strong CZcams venture. You've asked what "we" want to see here..... 😉 @letsdig18
This is going to be an awesome project, can't wait to see first day on it & completion, & thanks for the estimate tour, you got a good one on your hand's.👊💪
🇺🇸🇵🇪🇵🇷😎 I just love your channel, These behind the scenes is the reason I keep watching... I have never driven A excavator or a bulldozer,backhoes or offroad truck.. Now I have more of an appreciation appreciation for the people that do work on them!!♨️💗🚜
So wait, you have to actually think and know when, where and how when building ponds? You don't just sit in machines all day? Who-da thunk. That's for all the "all you do is sit in a machine all day" people. This is going to be an interesting project to see come together. Thanks for bringing us along for the things most don't get to see.
This is a project I'd definitely be looking forward to, though it's likely to be many months unless it becomes a priority job. Even small elevation drops for water can generate a good size hole.
When u get the job plez do a part 2 of how you decide which equipment n material u will need....I bet Mr. Donnie is loving you....tks for all you time n videos
I think all of us has been waiting for this day. And I know your a pond master but when you told how you were going to step it down on the back side of the dam it all came together for me. Would have to say I'm 60 years old and learned something new today from someone half my age. Goes to show you can always learn something as long as you are willing to listen. I also never new about the 25 foot of dam height. Thanks Chris.
Thanks for the "behind the scenes" video, Chris. A lot of people may not realize what goes into planning and pricing a job site before the first scoop of dirt can take place. This video, though quite brief, should help.
Thanks Chris. It looks to me like there is so much more planning to do when you are repairing a large pond dam. So many steps backwards before you can go forward. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Cheers
The making of a mini Niagara Falls! I'm a new sub and I really appreciate the step-by-step. A lot of the channels do not take the time to show perspective... the camera doesn't lie but it doesn't tell the whole story. Thanks!
WOW, this will be a huge undertaking if you get the job. Really no way to do it in phases once you start you will need to follow it through. Will be beautiful when it is finished. Good luck!
Love this video! If possible can you do more like this. I love understanding your whole process and seeing it from the beginning is next level with the work that you perform. Keep up with the great videos and work!
Trees on dams is always a very bad thing for exactly the reasons you state. Cost my fishing club here in the £30,000 ignoring that when we had 70mph winds & 6" of rain in 24 hours. ETA Thoroughly interesting informative & entertaining video. Ta much.
Thanks Chris for the interesting pre-bid walk through. Nice change of pace, and I sure hope you win the bid so we can see the solutions you plan for fixing it. It definitely needs your professional TLC. 😎👍
Very nice presentation of all that goes on that we never see from your jobs. Thanks. It would be nice to see your figures after you get all your estimates.
No-one in a professional line of work is going to discuss their margins, mark up, hourly rate etc on an open platform. It becomes a race to the bottom when others think they will underbid their competitors. Jealous folk begin criticising how much others are making. There is a reason folk don't publish prices and it is the same reason folk keep their families out of vid's...too many creeps and cuckoos waiting to pounce.
Wow...a big repair and design and trees going away...big job..but will be watching as always of the beautiful transformation that you do...stay safe guys...
Very cool video, so interesting to see how you go about doing a quote. That’s a really big hole to repair, & a lot of trees to remove in a tight spot. Hope the owner goes ahead with it, I would love to watch this series🍿🥤Take care Chris & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
This was a great video. I always wondered what and how you go about figuring out what to do on old lake and pond repairs. This was a great watch. Thanks!!
I hope it works out and that you get the project. It will be a nice project to fit in behind the Bealygood job would be nice to see each of these projects a year after completion.
Yuppers, that's why Chris is so respected in his area. A. He's extremely knowledgable about his field. B. He isn't gonna BS his customer. C. The customer can watch his previous vids to see other ponds he's repaired and feel confident it'll be done right thanks to CZcams. Another nice Chris Letsdig18 episode after being at the VA all day. Tomorrow I'll be home waiting for another episode.
Thank you for the walkthrough and telling us how you actually estimate your work looks like another great big job and I know it will all come out A1 when you are finished😁😁
Wow 10 acre pond. I love behind the scenes it shows whatever goes in to calculating everything it's amazing it is what it is thanks Chris for the behind the scenes look. keep up the good work.
Very informative , thank you sir !! A lot of work ahead but the property owner has the BEST man on the job !! Can’t wait to see the finished project !!
Very very cool to see this Chris. Thanks for making this behind the scenes repairing a pond dam. BTW This looks like an enormous job. Looking forward to it. 👊🏻😊

There's footage of them walking the Bealy woods laying out the initial pond.
Hope the customer/client accepts your bid. This will be an interesting fix.
If he does not his only choice is to drain the pond.

Awesome seeing the hydro guy again, he’s a good character to have around
I hope you get the job. Thank you for the tutorial on how to figure out height of the dam.
Everything is fixable if you have the right equipment and skill set.
This is going to be a cool project !!
This is going to be an awesome project, can't wait to see first day on it & completion, & thanks for the estimate tour, you got a good one on your hand's.👊💪
Damn, I hope you get this job, Chris. This will be fascinating to watch. Thanks for showing part of the estimating.

Well, hell yeah that’s what I always thought as well… hahaha…! “Not”…
Design is key to anything before you start work on doing anything. I know I am designer but not of ponds.
This is a project I'd definitely be looking forward to, though it's likely to be many months unless it becomes a priority job. Even small elevation drops for water can generate a good size hole.
I hope you get this job, That should be awesome to see get finished.

Client-“I need you to fix my dam”

More for repairs than regular installation especially with all the roots which are like mini highways after they rot out

I can already tell this project will be some good videos! Especially clearing out the trees and taking out the old pipe
