Damn Chris, I watched your two acre pond build from about 8 years ago. You have come a long way with you video skills. I was watching Netflix when I noticed this was posted. I would rather watch your video than any other. Keep building ponds and keep making money. It is a win-win for all of your viewers.
There is so much I would like to say on the absolutely best of the best when it comes to doing projects that Chris does in such fine detail, that everyone else has already said it. So that just leaves me to say GREAT JOB CHRIS,,, love your work ethics!!! Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge on every level. 😀It looks like it's going slow and steady.😀 Slow just because of the sheer sizes involved. 🤔Impressive stuff Chris.🙂 Thanks for sharing this monster of a job with us. be well.😊
You made a lot of headway Chris, even being by yourself brother! Looking good my friend, thanks for sharing Chris! See you in the next video! Good job! 👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
Chris, a man with a plan. You set the bar for others Chris. It's great the way you explain your plan and show how it's done. I would have never known how pond dam's are built till several years ago, started watching you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents....
Your one of the few men that can have fun as you work,sliding down the hill with the skid steer while your moving dirt.this is a good size project,I’m sure will be very nice when your done.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Look, Chris - you've helped keep my mind off a bad election, a pandemic, and now a war. It's ok if you make some of your videos longer than 30 minutes.
Well I hear that the loggers are still there you can hear their cutter running in the background and you need to take us over there and show us the owners old D8 I’d like to see it but anyway Chris done a fine job there brother so you and John and yawls family stay safe and can’t wait to see old Barney out there hauling dirt. Lol.
Wow what a big job…..you know it takes a top notch operator to do this amount of work by himself and actually know what it is supposed to look like when completed…… LD18 all the way 👍
You had a beautiful day,sunshine and not to hot Perfect day indeed...hope Justin get there before your done...thanks for all your talking to us...as you progress on this huge pond job...yes l am listening....and keep watching....Let'sDig18...
Great work Chris, some sweet looking material your pushing off in the washout, haultruck is gonna work great on this pond, already waiting on the next video haha, you do awesome work, thanks for sharing 💪🇺🇸 look forward to seeing this pond dam come together 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Homogeneous was the word you were looking for! You were homogenizing the various clay types. Interesting descriptions for all the different variations on the clay mixes.
I’ve been meaning to ask but I keep forgetting, Chris what’s the … not really the craziest thing but the coolest thing you’ve found digging, I started watching your channel when you did a lot of in city pond cleaning. Thanks and I like the longer videos also
I tapped an 8” pit cast pipe that was the supply line to the pump house to the irrigation system of a golf course in the western piedmont, NC this week . They wanted to be able draw down the water to the lake before a Hurricane in order to keep the overspill from washing out and eroding the dam of a 15 acre lake . I thought it was a really good investment being that we are in the hurricane alley on the east coast of the US . We had a dam in eastern Wake co that washed out during a hurricane maybe 5 years ago ? Near Zebulon
It's a head scratcher if the pond master is baffled. Chris. I am sure it could be an editing nightmare, but please consider the possibility of a time lapse of the 10 acre pond fix. Maybe for later in the year as we know that this is your busy season coming up. This transformation is going to be huge!!! Not going to lie. I was disoriented for a few minutes because the landscape has changed so drastically... Thanks Chris for letting us ride along.
The fish will only have to get more friendly - it's called close quarters. Surprising what water camouflages! The transformation of the 'wash-out' as an indication of the final dam and roadway - WOW! Dirt work is fascinating - love it.
Skid steer earned her money today. Good camera angle for all the tracking.. You said it was a big hole and you weren't kidding. Show all the trash? etc from the overflow. How big was that overflow/drum.
Chris it looks like fun. I know it is a lot of hard repetitive work but it looks good and you can see your progress. I wish I could come help you with it.
The ponds bank is going to look a whole lot better based on what you did in this video. Like how you used the skid steers wheel tracks to compact the work area.
You do good work, its really nice to see a contractor who doesn't do half ass work and do it without someone looking over his shoulder, that dam is going to look super when you are finished. 👍👍
Chris, I'm watching your workflow and thinking it is not that simple when it comes to choosing the right machine to use. I was originally wondering why you were not using the dozer instead of the skidsteer to make those lifts, but the skidsteer is faster, and with a big scoop of damp dirt, the skidsteer is close enough to the dozer's weight to make a good job of tracking in those lifts. I hope Justin comes along with his roller. I love seeing him on your channel.
I just like to tell you I enjoy your videos. My son just retired form the Army after 22 years he also lives in the same state as you do. Again thank you for your video
I was not sure of what was the idea of this job, but now I can see it. I suppose the wall was built by people who did not know how to do it. Well, the expert will fix it !! Greetings from Australia
Problem solved; you have Betty, Barney and Fred. The red mini could be Wilma causes it's pretty fancy, the Volvo can Bam Bam, cause it goes bam bam on the ground and trees and the skidsteer can Pebbles cause you spread gravel. 😉 😀😃🙂🙃😊
We will most likely never be told!! He starts talking about the old indian bones he has stumbled across and some group will be protesting and wanting him to go back and dig it up again or some crap!! I bet junk is about all he has found though, maybe cool old junk but nothing crazy
I dug up a Bible 16’ deep in the side of a West Virginia mountain at 2am one time… the Bible was completely legible and is now on display at a local baptist association. No I’m not joking it was quite a find at 2 am
@@ke6gwf we were on a mission trip to rebuild a house in 3 days. We tore down an old house, dug into the mountain for a flat spot, dug and poured footers, then managed to frame it out completely. We found the Bible while cutting back into the mountain.
I understand what you mean Chris that the dirt is like concrete I have it here in Mississippi when it gets wet it's slick and when it's dry it's concrete but as usual looking great can't wait to see the finish product 👍
Coming a long Great Chris !! Hell, makes Me wish I was there helping ya out !! Man, that clay looks like it's damn near perfect, the way it's sticking to the Blade / Bucket , Bet it's hard as damn concrete after you got that little area packed in !! lololol... Yeah, after you got all the trees and mess out of there , it was a pretty good damn hole...lololl...I can see where it took a bit more than you thought !! But, Going to look Great Man !! already does in that little area you got done... Have a Great Evening Chris !! and, On too the Next !!
I’ll have to admit that I couldn’t envision that plan on this job…till the last minute of this video and then it became very clear!
I like the little skidsteer driving down the hill.

Can’t wait for the haul truck to be on site. Enjoyed the video and progress.
It's always a good feeling to see a project take shape.
Now thats a days work. Thats going to be an awesome pond, or lake according to who you ask.
He's a great chef when it comes to pond dams
I watched the whole thing and it seemed like two minutes I really enjoyed it thanks Chris
Look, Chris - you've helped keep my mind off a bad election, a pandemic, and now a war. It's ok if you make some of your videos longer than 30 minutes.
What you said!!!
Absolutely !
I like when he makes his videos about a hour long. Lol
@@makingithappen5178 are you familiar with the Sanity4sweden channel?
Absolutely!!
I've been waiting for an update on this massive pond! Yay!
Engineering mind 101. Cuts,fills lifts tops. Marvellously done. This is a huge table top wall. Thanks for sharing Chris.
Wow, lots of progress for one man.
Dug out over 50'x15" deep, replaced in compacted layers. Hope there's a big steak on the grill for dinner tonight!
That skidsteer is a great asset to you guys fairplay 😊
Please do us a video update on what's being done to the off-road truck.
Thanks
Great video 👍👍 Keep them coming. I like seeing your projects. Working with family takes its toll. I do it too.
Well I hear that the loggers are still there you can hear their cutter running in the background and you need to take us over there and show us the owners old D8 I’d like to see it but anyway Chris done a fine job there brother so you and John and yawls family stay safe and can’t wait to see old Barney out there hauling dirt.

Glad we get to follow these because I can't envision your objective the way you can going into these. Was really happy you got back to this one!
Be good seeing the haul truck on this job helping the team bro. Just getting that bit done has made a big difference already. Safe travels
Another amazing job Chris.
Yep, the water is sure dropped. It'll make it easier to work. Looking good. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦💧
Good video man I have a tl12 and operate it have been learning more and more I appreciate the way you narrate the work your doing throughout the video
Looks great so far!!! Can’t wait to see the haul truck having some fun in the clay
👍😎

I figure the dozer was sitting up there watching the skid steer and thinking, "Hold my beer."
The skidstear works great on the washout faster probably less fuel than the dozer which is is more of a dresser dozer anyway.
Too bad DP isn't there! He may not be much help, but he could video you working! Lol 😆 😆 😆
You have made so much progress and it looks great!
Excellent work. Stay safe.
When you have the haul truck there you could play the song "Dump Truck for Children". Damn is really starting to take shape! 👍👍👍
omg THAT JOBS GONNA TAKE ALOT of dirt.. can't wait to see the finished product
Homogeneous was the word you were looking for! You were homogenizing the various clay types. Interesting descriptions for all the different variations on the clay mixes.
Actually that would be "making a homogeneous mixture of clay"

The camera didn’t show the depth of the hole till you had the skid steer in it!! It looks really good after you made those lifts. 👍👍
Chris amazing job your talent is beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
That is going to be one awesome pond dam when you get finished.
This was one of the deeper and better built ponds I seen and now with your new drain setup it will be around for a long time.
Looks decent. Maybe when full it's 10-12 feet max
Man your doing very good job Love this pond work .
Chris that 50 foot looks great well done .I knew this was going to be average project. Keep up the great content thanks

Real nice work
Looks a whole lot better already
Looking good, Mr. Carter!!

Some people take snow runs on a sled-Chris takes dirt runs with a skid steer!
I can say that just that little bit down is awesome, see you on the next one Chris.
Problem solved; you have Betty, Barney and Fred. The red mini could be Wilma causes it's pretty fancy, the Volvo can Bam Bam, cause it goes bam bam on the ground and trees and the skidsteer can Pebbles cause you spread gravel. 😉 😀😃🙂🙃😊
