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?
Go figure that you and John have to fix some else’s mess . But the owner has the right crew on the job now . When y’all are it will be a master piece of course .
That is a pretty good sized house, I would bet when the pond is done and full and finished off ( slicked up) that the house/ pond combination is going to make that an awesome piece of property. I think this one would worth a revisit in a year or so. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Chris I’m praying for all y’all to be safe during the hurricane🙏🙏🙏 Nice pond project with a beautiful home to overlook it when it’s perfectly completed by the dream team!!
You are so much like my dad was, you can take a blank canvas and turn it in to a work of art. My dad was a artist 🎨 he painted landscapes and portraits. Keep up the great work that you are doing.
Chris it doesn't take you long to clean the area and make it look like a pond. Spruce up the wooded areas and prepare the pond for a hurricane. And it looks really nice. Way to go. Praying for just some rain no hurricane.
These projects always seem to be difficult to work. You really never what the other contractor did or thought. Time to fill up the ponds you did this year!! Stay safe.
That's gonna be a really nice pond for them to enjoy and fish once it's done a filled. The owner can walk out his backdoor go over and catch his dinner any old time he wants and swim with his kids other times. We've been getting his with feeder bands fron Ian since yesterday. Lots of wind, rain here just above the Florida Keys and some tornados up in Broward county. We'll make sure the Bealy Good pond gets lots of water to fill it up. Thanks Chris for the afternoon entertainment and good luck with the hurricane.
Already you & John have made a big difference to this site. That’s a lovely home that has been built & a pond will make it even better😊 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Such a beautiful pond you are making Chris!! It's just amazing watching you move such massive amounts of dirt and plucking trees from the ground like weeds!! Stay safe and hopefully get some much deserved rest!
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.
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.
Watching this while waiting for my power to go out tonight as Ian moves very slowly across Florida. Glad you are so busy, but pretty sure we could put you to work down here next week and for a long time! However, sounds like the storm is going to just come to you, make a mess and give you a lot of work without leaving home! Stay safe, and I'll just enjoy watching you work!
@@victorhorace8467 Thank you. It was a devastating storm, I just got lucky. Lots of people need help, please keep them in your prayers and start praying for those still in the path of Ian. He's a nasty one and he will have a chance to refuel before he hits land again.
It’s the tiny fine as hair roots that supply water and nutrients to the tree. These are mostly close to the surface. Smother them and the tree dies. The big deep roots are to anchor and support it.
Great video. All the rain is going to be filling up all kinds of ponds and stuff , goodness 😳 . Was bound to happen sooner or later. Enjoyed watching 😎 👍.
You are right, what a mess. Total confidence that with ur expertise, u will have it designed and perfectly functional. Luv the house and landscape to come. Loved the video. Praying for all in way of the hurricane. May God bless u and keep u safe!!!
It amazes me how you start with a complete mess and before long you end up with a plan and it beginning to look like something great 👍content nicely filmed thank you
Bealygood does a post or short most everything day. Well drilling started today. The conduit for the island is in and Goeff has started to plant trees. It's worth following their channel as well.
Piling up Dirt around the Trees that killed them - take them down ! Florida just got Pummeled with that Hurricane ! Starting to Fix someones Abandoned Project - well - You are the Man ! Hey - some Progress already - Major Work after the Hurricane ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
That home owner has to be shaking his head going why did we wait so long. One day and these guys cleaned up a mess and they will have it done in no time. Can you imagine the mud holes and mosquitoes they have put up with for how long now??? Great day guys.
The difference between a master craftsman and journeyman can be seen without saying a word. I was embarrassed for your client at the unsophisticated mess left there before you showed up. Fine work sir. Be safe when that awful storm rears it’s head.
Nice McMansion Many Happy Meals Chris 😂 You do know how to prioritize these jobs, nice hustle to get to it before those rains hit. Have to hand it to ya Chris!
I'm near Daytona Beach, Florida. They are saying that I could get a foot of rain in the next 24 hours. That would fill all the ponds you built this year!
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.
Hey Chris we’re here in Hampton South Carolina and we’re pretty sure hurricane Ian is gonna make a mess here. Too bad y’all couldn’t use the pending rain to fill that job y’all fixin up. Always enjoy your work. Be safe out there!
I used to be an avid skier when I worked DEER VALLEY, BUT I HAVEN'T SKIED SINCE THE Salt Lake Olympics. With that being said I would love to join you crazy people this winter "Snowed in "
Oh yeah, nice house, now they will have a letsdig18 pond. Hope Ivan doesn't give you a lot of grief, man the wind is howling here FL and the rain coming down a lot.
Don't ya hate having to come in behind someone that does shitty work, and leaves it a mess !! But, You and Unk john will get it fixed back to what it supposed to be, and done right !! Yeah, FL. is getting pretty slammed right now, sure hope and pray that the people in the way of the hurricane got out of there !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening Man, And, On too the Next...
Chris if they want it done right call the best that would be you. Chris you and John have changed the looks of that pond 100% in only half a day great job 👏 great videos
Hey Chris, I've been watching a long time now. I moved to 200 acres earlier this year and I'm having 160 cleared. I've got a lot of white oak stumps to get rid of now and land to clear as the loggers don't exactly leave "cleared" land. What size excavator would you recommend? 200 or 300 or as much as I can afford? The pine stumps won't be an issue. It's the Oak stumps that are going to be a challenge. I appreciate any knowledge you can convey.
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.
This is a classic reason for looking for a contractor know what their history of doing jobs before accepting a bid. It is more than the least expensive bid to get a successful completion on the task at hand. Chris is an excellent example of getting a contractor who knows how to be successful.
I know it's frustrating for you to clean up other peoples messes and I'm sure the owners are frustrated too, but knowing how great it will be when you get finished will be awesome for you and the owner.
Owners sometime direct their frustration with the original contractor at the guy doing the cleanup. I found it helpful to sort that out in plain language before starting work.
can't wait to see how fast the Bealy Good pond fills up
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?
Another big job very dry you will maker great nice watch for the rain
Bealy pond should be filling if they get 6" of rain.
W dyi
@@assassinlexx1993 Which will, I’m sure greatly benefit the downstream neighbours!
@@assassinlexx1993 They could have some that we got. Nearly 10" from the storm with more possible.
any body can dig a big hole but only few can build a pond. nice start. cheers.
Go figure that you and John have to fix some else’s mess . But the owner has the right crew on the job now . When y’all are it will be a master piece of course .
You are the Pond King. Owner is lucky to be able to get you and John to fix this and complete the project. Thanks for sharing.
Someone elses mess is one of the best pond sites i've seen on your channel. This will be amazing. Nice and deep and no pond dam.
Even'n, Chris, everyone. Looks like a pond filling storm is coming up your way Chris, after it gets done making a huge mess in Florida.
Can't belive I haven't been able to watch anything for a week now but I had a big operation last week LETSDIG18 IS STILL THE BEST ON UA-cam
Sure mate, and you too buddy 🙂
I hope your recovery goes well and your pain free. Watching Chris is the fix-all you'll be just fine after watching him do his magic
@@ryanhoward1013 your 100% correct

It just amazes me at what you two can get done in a single day! Thanks for sharing Chris!
His Uncle has already spent at least 1 day clearing all the vegetation out of it they day before .
He wasn’t talking about his uncle.
Holy gosh, what a MESS! 😵🤕 Let's rescue letsdig18!💣

Such a beautiful pond you are making Chris!! It's just amazing watching you move such massive amounts of dirt and plucking trees from the ground like weeds!! Stay safe and hopefully get some much deserved rest!
It would be awesome to see what that much rain does for Bealy’s pond, bet it puts a few feet worth in it 😎👍
When all the rain comes in you can show us how all the ponds are filling up😊

Its definitely raining down here in Florida Chris, the storm is moving slowly 👍 got plenty of coldbeer tho 😎
Stay safe

Thank you.
Good news for me - I am on the East Coast of Florida, so just got wind and LOTS of rain. No power outage!
Good for you. I have a brother near Palm Bay, and he said the same thing. I feel bad for those people in Lee county. Good to hear you’re safe.
@@victorhorace8467
Thank you. It was a devastating storm, I just got lucky. Lots of people need help, please keep them in your prayers and start praying for those still in the path of Ian. He's a nasty one and he will have a chance to refuel before he hits land again.
Nice looking job so far sir . Maybe the first guy should have watched Letsdig18’s How to build a pond videos !!
I suspect the first guy did and thought it would be easy after watching Chris do it lol
Got to have a plan. You see it before you start and know how to accomplish it!
Look at that transformation from a mess to a work of art!
It’s the tiny fine as hair roots that supply water and nutrients to the tree. These are mostly close to the surface. Smother them and the tree dies. The big deep roots are to anchor and support it.
Stay safe with the Hurricane Ian Chris. Great work on the pond there so far; let's hope the storm doesn't wash away your efforts.
Great video. All the rain is going to be filling up all kinds of ponds and stuff , goodness 😳 . Was bound to happen sooner or later. Enjoyed watching 😎 👍.
You are right, what a mess. Total confidence that with ur expertise, u will have it designed and perfectly functional. Luv the house and landscape to come. Loved the video. Praying for all in way of the hurricane. May God bless u and keep u safe!!!
I’m impressed how well you operate your equipment
It amazes me how you start with a complete mess and before long you end up with a plan and it beginning to look like something great 👍content nicely filmed thank you
That hurricane should be big help filling up the Bealy Good 5 acre pond!!!
after the rain comes through try and show an update on the Beally good pond to show how much it filled.
@ bob odell ooooh good idea!!
could go to his channel and catch it for sure
Bealygood does a post or short most everything day. Well drilling started today. The conduit for the island is in and Goeff has started to plant trees. It's worth following their channel as well.
I love to watch you doing those excellent jobs Chris, you make it looks so easy but know you work very hard😎
Piling up Dirt around the Trees that killed them - take them down ! Florida just got Pummeled with that Hurricane ! Starting to Fix someones Abandoned Project - well - You are the Man ! Hey - some Progress already - Major Work after the Hurricane ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
If there's a screwed up pond in your area, you know they're going to find you.... for good reason. Up side of the storm? Bealy's pond will get filled
GrandPa Guins must be proud you fellas can do the jobs like he wanted them done and the customers are satisfied.
Amazing how fast you guys can transform a piece of land, going look nice 💯💯💯
You should check out the Bealy Good pond after the hurricane, that would be cool to see.
No you should go to The Bealy Good UA-cam channel and he’ll show you.
Although it was someone elses mess the "repair" looked like a piece of cake ! Good job done !!!
That home owner has to be shaking his head going why did we wait so long. One day and these guys cleaned up a mess and they will have it done in no time. Can you imagine the mud holes and mosquitoes they have put up with for how long now??? Great day guys.
The difference between a master craftsman and journeyman can be seen without saying a word. I was embarrassed for your client at the unsophisticated mess left there before you showed up. Fine work sir. Be safe when that awful storm rears it’s head.
Yep a nice new pond should be interesting. You guys go in and clean up after everybody that screws up job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🌳🌲🌧️
You gotta love the irony of the “code enforced” silt fence, to prevent any soil from running off into - - - a great hole full of -- silt!
We used to make an ice chest and a few buddies and drive around. Give us updates on ponds u built. Great video 👍 👍
They’ve got the right crew on the job now. Thanks for sharing
How about you film some of that stormy weather for us? If nothing else a time laps with a view of an open field?
Looking good. Nice day of work. Keep up the fabulous attention to detail.
If you do get a large amount of rain, I think a follow up visit/video to the most recent pond workings would be well received.
Stay safe and sound to you and yours brother Chris. Catch ya on the flip side of this storm. From Currituck county, NC.
The Bealy Good pond is going to get a nice drink over the weekend!
Well, at least they got the right man for the job just some time on the pond and it starting to look awesome.
..i just fixed it now it won't start...lol...good job, keep safe..
Old Bealy good Is probably at home licking his chops knowing the amount of water he’s got coming his way this weekend😂
The site looks 100% better since you've been on the job great video thanks Chris and John
So sorry what's happening with the Hurricane ! Stay safe 🙏🙏🙏
Fair play a lot of trades won't touch something someone else messed up.
Thankfully no hurricane but looks like we are in for a good drenching on Saturday here in NZ. Anyway enjoyed this video guys. Safe travels bro
Nice McMansion
Many Happy Meals Chris 😂
You do know how to prioritize these jobs, nice hustle to get to it before those rains hit. Have to hand it to ya Chris!
Not gonna lie. Can’t wait till after the storm and hopefully see a full pond from the five acre pond build!!
With that much rain coming, the 5 acre pond you finished might get good water.
I'm near Daytona Beach, Florida. They are saying that I could get a foot of rain in the next 24 hours. That would fill all the ponds you built this year!
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.
Stay safe and stay out of the flooded areas
Perfect time having lunch and to watch a nice video
This rain should put some water in the Bealy Goid pond!!
Greetings Chris. Your haul truck and John's haul truck can move along of dirt. Just 1 extra person needed.
Hey Chris we’re here in Hampton South Carolina and we’re pretty sure hurricane Ian is gonna make a mess here. Too bad y’all couldn’t use the pending rain to fill that job y’all fixin up. Always enjoy your work. Be safe out there!
There is an art to building a pond/lake, you should always seek out professionals like Letsdig18.
Is a mess always someone else mess ? I always enjoy watching your videos. Stay healthy and prosper !
Never gets old watching that excavator yank trees out of the ground like weeds!
Pond is shaping up pretty quick nice job Chris & john 👍👍😎
Mr Beely-Good should be thrilled with the rain over the weekend.
Can't believe how dry it is there!
with that hurricane you mentioned, I bet ya the Bealy Good pond is gonna start fillin’ in a hurry!
I used to be an avid skier when I worked DEER VALLEY, BUT I HAVEN'T SKIED SINCE THE Salt Lake Olympics. With that being said I would love to join you crazy people this winter "Snowed in "
The rain is coming. Heart goes out to everyone in Florida
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.
That looks like some of dirt perfects pond digging before you got started 😆
Oh yeah, nice house, now they will have a letsdig18 pond. Hope Ivan doesn't give you a lot of grief, man the wind is howling here FL and the rain coming down a lot.
The house looks more like a barracks to me. I thought you where talk about the Soviets for a minute. 🙄 Have a good day. :)
Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧.
Have no fear, the pond master is here.
Don't ya hate having to come in behind someone that does shitty work, and leaves it a mess !! But, You and Unk john will get it fixed back to what it supposed to be, and done right !! Yeah, FL. is getting pretty slammed right now, sure hope and pray that the people in the way of the hurricane got out of there !! Great as always Chris !!

Nothing can make a mess of a property faster than an incompetent operator on heavy equipment! I’ve seen lots of properties ruined from that!
Chris if they want it done right call the best that would be you. Chris you and John have changed the looks of that pond 100% in only half a day great job 👏 great videos
With a lot of rain, maybe the 5 acre pond will be filled.

I am Chris's manager, he can offer advice at $4.99 a letter and he does like to talk so if your poor.., youtube it.
What a mess I'm sure once you're done it will look peachy 🍑 😊 😉
Ian sez; "Let every pond overflow!"
Stay safe!
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.
Seems the majority of calls i get to fix other contractors mess actually turn out to be owner wasn't paying their bill so contractor stopped work.
Gee that looks like our local sodic soils. Would be setting of alarm bells here if I dug in to that for a dam.
This is a classic reason for looking for a contractor know what their history of doing jobs before accepting a bid. It is more than the least expensive bid to get a successful completion on the task at hand. Chris is an excellent example of getting a contractor who knows how to be successful.
At least they got the right guys to fix it.
I still say a man , a machine , and the great outdoors is a good remedy for the sads.
Nothing like a 250 Volvo and a big bucket loading trucks. I love running mine but I only have a 1.5 yd bucket but it still loads fast.
I know it's frustrating for you to clean up other peoples messes and I'm sure the owners are frustrated too, but knowing how great it will be when you get finished will be awesome for you and the owner.
Owners sometime direct their frustration with the original contractor at the guy doing the cleanup. I found it helpful to sort that out in plain language before starting work.
Cheap labor isn’t skilled, and Skilled labor isn’t Cheap. Doing it over costs more than doing it right the first time!
Gee all the rain could help fill up some of your ponds you’ve build. Just not to much.🌧🌧
It won't help this job but at least the Bealy Good pond will get some water.
