Jobs like that make me itch! There is always some airline pilot or some other asshole on the HOA that don't understand why you cannot get back there with out bending a blade of grass and are never satisfied.
Have always admired how tidy your jobs look when you're done with them. A sign of true professionals who care about the work they do. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Chris.
It just always amazes you how the people you put in charge of taking care of our infrastructure can be so clueless about doing the job. You done a fine job with what your were allowed to do. But looks like they didn’t go as far as they should have. Great content 👍.
I don't understand how people think. A lot of the money goes towards prep work and finish work. Why in the hell would they just leave that mound of mud there. Another 20 trucks or so and the whole pound is dredged out for the most part. I'll never understand it I suppose
Allocated x dollars every 5 years or so for dredging which entails what the State requires to be removed to put the pond back in compliance. I agree it looks penny wise and pound foolish since the setup and cleanup is so extensive but they have a budget and thou shalt not go over budget. :) I agree that 20 more loads would have made it look beautiful but, rather the same as filling potholes and not replacing all the macadam - blacktop for the Southerners. NC is a poor State, in many ways.
@@Rickimusic this is a HOA. Has 0 to do with NC. You can clearly tell by the manicured lawns and the fountain. If they took the amount out it wouldn't be every 5-10 years, more like 10+ years. I was in this industry for 12 years. I'm sure Chris would agree. If you're there, just take care of it
I like watching you with the mini and smooth bucket peeling grass off of some of y’all’s jobs! And when you’re slicking up surfaces when you’re finishing up a job! You’re one smooth operator Chris! Great video brother!
If I was making the decisions on this basin I would have a small settling pond where the stream comes in and on a regular schedule I would have the sand removed from the catch basin. Up in Illinois where I grew up most lakes and catch basins operated that way. In the long run it saves money and time maintaining the level depth of a lake.
Your work is impeccable, the finest I have seen. I watch others and you are a true operator with great skill from years of work. Maybe someday I can figure out a way with my disability to still operate an excavator. I have hope always, even with my doubts. Thanks Chris for great videos.
Think a new edition to the letsdig18 equipment should be a loader. Figure you could use it on a lot of jobs . Get you a bucket, forks, and a grapel bucket and it would suit you very well
Videos just keep giving. I'll never see them all. To Chris's producer, I get a lot from these videos. Take for instance throwing out grass seed. I'd throw out seed in my backyard. Seed wouldn't take. So I put out straw and that worked on my 1/25 acre. Eaglegards... From Texas. My daughter lives in Fayetteville. Son-in-law is an Army Major.
Why wouldn't you invest in a medium sized dump truck instead of just using a 2 yard bucket on the skid steer seems like you could haul more each load and be much more efficient??? Great Videos though!!
Man I wish I worked for you!! I've not been able to work for someone where I live that actually has their shit together and has a backbone of a company like you. Or even know what the hell they ate doing!!
@Joe Robinsin People work harder when you appreciate them. A steak and a thank you can certainly go a long way. When you trust someone on equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars it's best to have them happy.
@Joe Robinsin, Lighten up Buttercup, Take a lesson from Grant Marshall and Dave Stinson for Christ's sake. A person doesn't need to own a business to know that if you show appreciation and respect towards a person, especially an employee, that they will work harder and treat you and your equipment much better. I bet your employees, if you have any, HATE your guts.
Joe Robinsin - Ya knowww, most people call me a miserable old bastard. I take some pride in that because deep down I can be way more miserable and am not. People trust me, staff as good as Tim like me, I have a good circle of friends. But, I’m a fair, miserable old bastard. If Tim was on my team, i would make sure he knew he was valuable, get him to leave his phone in the truck, but definitely reward him once in a while. That way he knows he is important to the team and keeps on going like he does. I’m still the miserable old bastard though! You,,,,,,, you make me look like the nice guy!!! Heck, you are off the charts grumpy and mean! My staff would never respect you and they would never work for you like they do for me, or Tim does for Chris. Ya gotta find some middle ground there ya mean old buzzard! Lighten up just a little there. You would be surprised how much better your staff will respond to you. Stay safe out there anyways, Eh!
It would probably have been easier if you had used the machines and methods you had chosen yourself? I guess Tim is pretty tired of running skid steer. I'm from Sweden and can't handle your grammar, sorry.
That mud moves around like jello or pudding. The HOA should have go for it you are the expert and not put any restrictions on how to do YOUR job. That mini is a great little machine it probably cut out 5 hours of hand labor. Excellent as usual Chris.
It's not your fault, but this site was crap! Only a part of it was dredged what should have been dredged. Lowering the water level further and working "dry" would have been better. If you then see how much was broken to drive off the overburden, it was simply not worth it.
Thanks to your videos, I started looking into Takeuchi and just recently bought a 2016 TL12 high flow! I love it! Would that big material handling bucket perform better if you welded teeth on it? I’m considering using your idea for that big bucket on a pond build I have in a few months.
The machine may be strong, but I am guessing if the bucket is twice the specifications it will ruin a whole lot of bearings, joints, transmission, etc a whole lot faster than if used according to manufacturer's specifications. That is the trade-off.
The bale accumulator that puts those 21 bales together is probably a Bale Baron. Can be towed behind the baler or independent towed around the field picking up bales.
Hello, found your channel a short time ago and really enjoy them. I have a question. i'm not an equipment operator though I love to see them work. Why do excavators always perch themselves up on a hill of soil/dirt. Bear in mind. I'm not an equipment operator.
so haveing a large bucket for that machine u said its a strong machine ,will it wear out any faster or its a small job wont hurt it too much?? you all ways make nice videos,ty.
I realize money is always the limiting factor but. When your there if the mud was removed it would be 10 times the water storage. Seams like pond owners are penny wise and dollar foolish.
Hi Chris I'm sure even with ride control that Tim is feeling it today. You always do amazing work and a better Finnish than expected I'm sure. Thanks for bringing us along!! 😀🇨🇦 Craig
What a horrible planning job for this lake or big pond. Nobody thought it wouldn’t have sediment someday and plan for easier clean out? Who wants to haul sand and mud that far? Good video!!
As nice as that machine runs and operates, That's a long day in that machine for Tim.. Good Job Gentlemen....Can't believe the opportunity to like this video is under a hundred likes. Congrats Chris, 250,000 coming up !!!
You are the most gifted operator I’ve ever seen...not just your skill manipulating the machines; it’s your logic and approach to the logistics of a project that are really amazing. Well done!
@@nobodysbusiness1204 I'm will aware of that. I was referring to an old pond Chris started filling a few months ago. Go back and you will see what I was talking about

I think Tim's new nick name should be WALL-E. Back and forth. Back and forth. And after that, back and forth. Then, back and forth some more.
Timing the video I see a 2:30 cycle time, I can't do that sober.
I can't recall seeing a beach finish troweled before.

HOAs, they never make sense.
Dream job:
Outdoors every day!
Changing scenery!
Decent money!
Hopefully nice fellow workers!
HEAVY EQUIPMENT!
We know Tim is glad it's over for the amount of times he had to beat down that goat trail. Cheers 🍺

Awesome work and love the camera angles!
Poor Timmy “” he’d be getting a little sea 🌊 sick 🤕 at the end of the day and star seeing the the rolling ground.😎😎😎😎😎😎👍👍
why did they only have you do half of it ?? looked like it needed a lot more dug out ...
I always wondered how the hell do you even price something like that..
I would guess some of these government jobs are T and M.
Chris did Tim get traveling allowances for all the journeys he made ? ha ha, another well done job and finish.👍👍🇬🇧
Your work is impeccable, the finest I have seen. I watch others and you are a true operator with great skill from years of work. Maybe someday I can figure out a way with my disability to still operate an excavator. I have hope always, even with my doubts. Thanks Chris for great videos.
dint you do this pond a couple of yrs ago ?

ya know I think he enjoys dredging out sandy ponds like this so he can play in a sand box.
Man I wish I worked for you!! I've not been able to work for someone where I live that actually has their shit together and has a backbone of a company like you. Or even know what the hell they ate doing!!
Run what u brung. Getting it done. That's all that matters. U need to buy tim lunch after all those trips. Like a steak
@Joe Robinsin People work harder when you appreciate them. A steak and a thank you can certainly go a long way. When you trust someone on equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars it's best to have them happy.
@Joe Robinsin If you can't be civil stay silent. Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Stay safe out there anyways, Eh!
Bubba, you really need a Bucket Loader. Skid Steer does pretty good but some of your vids. you've really needed one.
1 yard of concrete weighs in at 4000 lbs.
Are you up on top of the pile?
That's kinda freaky with that angle.
Unskippable double ads? wtf?
Download a ad blocker it's free and works great I've been using one since 2015 and never had any ads since.
Gotta pay for them new pickups. Lol.
David Harris there some very good people out there in the world but nobody deserves to be called bad names
You need to lift that bucket same time when you push it to the mud. So that downside of the bucket won't get stuck in mud
Looks like those conveyor belt units that you looked at would have been handy on this job.
You should do an equipment tour video including your trucks and pickups.
constant whine in audio.......... starting to watch less of his videos
Looks good! That does make for a long day tracking back and forth in the skid. Nice job with the grading bucket too. I need to get a tilt for mine 😏
Looks like Tim has become an integral part of your team. That’s good to see.
i know Tim's glade it;s over! You did a great job and Tim also
I'm looking at the dirt saying to myself.... SANDBAGS..... prefilled and pile....$$$$
It would probably have been easier if you had used
the machines and methods you had chosen yourself?
I guess Tim is pretty tired of running skid steer.
I'm from Sweden and can't handle your grammar, sorry.
Thanks love the video Chris on that pond .

Can you believe... in 2 hours there is almost 10,000 views..!! 😱😳🤭👍✅
It wouldn’t have been so bad of a job if you could have had the trucks come to you instead of hauling it to them.
You sure made that Mess look much better by the END...!! 🤭🤓👍✅
I personally love this channel on here and Chris and Justin who work there tails off each day of there work duty
That looks like sand...that's a LOT of sand boxes...or nice trim for a pond somewhere
wow your final grading looks better than an professional cake decorators iced cake does
Could you have Guilty Mini ramp or platform for him to dump and into the trucks there along the curve??
Another fantastic job done. Could have used the mats to build up for the skid steer to empty into the tippers given him a bit more height 👍
Sound quality not great Chris at some points when in the cab, want to hear your words of wisdom!!
Looks like a nice job to me Chris and Tim, I remind you have done earlyer work on this place......🤔👌👍⚠️
Killer video as usual!! I think a good fire should be in the works any big ones coming up?
Poor Timmy!!HA! HA! Nice finish with the mini!!! Yes!!!!!! Storage video!!!!!!!!
Chris thanks for another great video, You are a true professional that is areal fine job....
As nice as that machine runs and operates, That's a long day in that machine for Tim.. Good Job Gentlemen....Can't believe the opportunity to like this video is under a hundred likes. Congrats Chris, 250,000 coming up !!!
Everything looks better than when you started and that's what makes for a good job
Nice country down there
I wonder if he bids a price for the job or is it by the hour.
I think he said by the yard.
Another satisfied customer.
Thanks for the video.
This must be before y’all got the straw shooter, that thing is so cool!
I still can't hear you (audibly or clearly) tho the engine noise is intoxicating
Amazing camera angles
With the camera on the skid steer, all I kept thinking was a roller coaster ride sitting in jello...... lol
sweet job chris congrads on your new f 250s !!!
In the wild the daddy machine feeds the baby machine. 😂😂
You are the most gifted operator I’ve ever seen...not just your skill manipulating the machines; it’s your logic and approach to the logistics of a project that are really amazing. Well done!
What did Tim get a new truck also? I thought I saw two white trucks in the background, last time I remember he had a black Super Duty.
You need a 6-8' smooth ditch bucket ..lol Great work !
You put more miles than hours on the skid steer on this project. lol.
You do great work.. that looks 100 percent better
Have y’all thought about getting a mid size loader for work like this?
Do u ever use a long I-beam with the thumb to top dress
Good long stem wheat straw used for erosion control.
guess it was a money issue but they should have let yo keep going another 50 feet it seems. Good job none the less, major improvement...
Seen enough of your videos to know it was definitely gonna work out. Looked great.
Another great video, thanks Chris!
Your the best
Great as always Chris !! Now , Lets see those Bad Ass Trucks you got with the New Tires and all...lololol... Have a Great Evening !!
nice like you was never there.on to the next job!! lol
How many yards came out of there?
You making the pond bigger?
How long do the mats last on average??
were you able to save or sell that sand?
Nice team work 👌💪thats some nice material!
Nice job guys. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Looks great Chris good video
Is Tim related to you?
Look up Bale Baron if you want to see the machine that makes hay bundles. Good job.
Camera on the skid steer you could really see the jiggle and wiggle of the mud. Probably smelt like poo thought.
The seed and straw tidies it up right dandy bro
What ever happened to that pond you where gonna fill in? Is it still getting loads dumpped there or did you walk away from that job?
Christopher Toti I’m pretty sure that is all sediment from the bottom of the pond
@@nobodysbusiness1204 I'm will aware of that. I was referring to an old pond Chris started filling a few months ago. Go back and you will see what I was talking about
Why do I feel like I've seen this project before?
We've seen a few very similar
Met zand spelen 🏗🏗🏗
