Fantastic message, please keep presenting them. God bless you
Thank you Stephen and glad you enjoyed the message!
God Bless
Your message is such a blessing, God Bless you
Thank you Stephen, I appreciate that!
Good work my brother I can tell God is blessing you 🙏
Thanks Todd and definitely blessed for sure.
God Bless…
What a tremendous amount of work to build that dam. That was an incredible amount of dirt to move. It will be interesting to see the pond filled with water. Always enjoy your message. You have a wonderful delivery and are always relevant. Keep diggin and preaching the Word Brother.
Thank you Jay, I appreciate the feedback on the message!
That was definitely a cool job to build the pond and move that much dirt. I’m hoping to do a video update on the ponds I have built or rebuilt. Would be interesting to see how they are doing…
Thanks and God Bless
I'll be ordering that drone controller mount. Thanks for that. Here's how I see it. You might have not known everything you do now after finishing that pond. But the end result is perfection. That's one project you can step back and be very proud of. Nice work brother.
Thanks Lindsey it was a great job to learn from and apply that to the next one. I just kept pushing dirt until it looked descent! 😀
You will definitely like that mount for the controller, it works great…
Always enjoy your message, I am not ashamed ! Keep spreading the good news.
Thanks, I appreciated that and God Bless…
Sam
Con grain the pond completion. It looks great. Love the scripture and your comments. Keep on.
Congratulations
Thank you Lynn!😀 Glad you are enjoying the message and I appreciate the encouragement…
God Bless,
Sam
Your work shows your greatness, your greatness shows the power of the Lord ,bless all , Amen
Thank you and I appreciate that! Definitely the power of the Lord for sure!
God Bless
Good work amigo. We pile the brush in pong when we are done to burn it. That potash makes for some good pond fertilizer. IMO it’s got to be over5 ac to beat least a small lake.
That’s interesting about burning in the pond. Didn’t know that about the potash being pond fertilizer.
Thanks…
God is good all the time!!! i do pray along with you blessing to rain down on you and your channel that it might advance his kingdom!!! Amen
Thank you Matt, I appreciate that…😀
Just dropping by. That's a lot of dirt moved! Have you figured out about how many yards of dirt you can move a day by yourself with the new equipment?
Right, wow that was a bunch of dirt! I haven’t done any figures on yards. After adding up all my hours I had around 16 days on this job. 2.5 days of that was clearing the land.
I've really enjoyed this series of pond build videos. But dang the messages at the end have been even better. You are an inspiration to me as a Christian man to go out and do better. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this project and making the videos. I appreciate what you said about the messages. It’s encouraging to know the Lord is using the message to help and encourage folks to live for Christ!
God Bless…
Sammy, Awesome out come 👏 Great Job 👍 Thanks for sharing and the message 👍
Thank you Jon!😀
Impressive work for one man show.
Thank you, Jerry! I definitely learned a lot on this one!
What a blessing. Thank you.
Thanks Kevin and glad you enjoyed it…
Sam
Pond looks like a smaller version of the pond Dirt Perfect just got done doing. Good job!
Thanks Jacob! I just watched the last video in Dirt Perfects pond job. Mine is definitely a similar pond on a smaller scale. They did a great job on that pond it looked great…
@@tristardiggin yeah they did
It looks better than pretty good, that is is a great job and a great message, thank you.
Thank you Mike!😀
You did a fine job .the owner should be very happy
Thank you Rick. Jack is very happy with how his pond turned out…
Sam
Enjoyed the pond build!.. hope to see more!
Thank you Gary! I hope to get a few more ponds to do as well…
Sam
Good old Tennessee red clay. Nice work and great message for how we should live our lives. There’s a lot of hate and negatives in our world today. What a blessing it is that we can hold on to and bear witness to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you Mike. I sure like digging in the clay instead of the rocks any day of the week!😀
Well said! There is a tremendous amount of hate and negativity in the world. Keep shining the light of Christ…
God Bless,
Sam
Hello Sam…I had a feeling this project would turn out SPOT ON , Awesome Work Brother.! If you were only 8 hrs off on the estimated time on this size project that is a success in my book 😃..Thank You for the Message , Always a Blessing. I appreciate You ! Take Care and Stay Safe 👍🏻
Thanks Evert! I am very pleased with how it turned out. I made a descent guess on how long it would take.😀
Glad you enjoyed the message…
Sam
Awesome pond build and another AWESOME message, thanks, brother!
Thank you Mark! 😀
The message was great and powerful. The pond is every bit as good as the other guys have done. The owner should be glad for the good job you did.
Thank you Steve, I really appreciate that! Looking forward to the next pond job.
God Bless,
Sam
The pond looks amazing. Thanks for the message.
Thank you, I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed the message! 😀
Good message 👍🏼
Thanks Brooke! 😀
Yes Amen Glory to God🌺🍍🌴🇺🇸✝️🫶🏽🩸🔥
Thank you Margaret!😀
Nice Fleet 💪
Thanks Mike, I appreciate it! Hope you are stilling doing good and getting better every day!
Sam
Great message, Sam! Stay bold!
The pond is beautiful!
Thank you! 😀 I’m really pleased with how the pond turned out.
I'm glad I stayed for the message.
Hey Wade I’m glad you enjoyed the message!
God Bless,
Nice fleet of equipment. 👍🏻
Thanks James! 😀
Beautiful job
Thank you Sid! 😀
Every message i hear from makes my faith in the Lord stronger! They are always great to hear. Also you did a great job with that pond build. If its not too much trouble maybe you could make a video about moving the equipment to your next job i think that would be interesting
Found you 😂😂
Thanks and I enjoy hearing how the message is a blessing. I will look at maybe a video on moving equipment.
Thanks,
Sam
Awesome job and thanks for the message at the end!
Thank you Bryan, I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed the message…
God Bless,
Sam
@@tristardiggin You are very welcome and looking forward to more videos!
I saw that dirt perfect didnt make a spillway i wonder why
Thanks for another great video 👍
Thanks for the message 👍
-Bambi😂
Thanks and glad you liked the message! Sometimes folks want to be able to drive accross the dam. So a rip rap spill way would prevent that. They would rather have a pipe put in instead.
God Bless,
Sam
@@tristardiggin oh I see thanks
I watch several channels to learn and this is in my go to most times. I learn a lot from these videos including how to run a profitable business without employees.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks for the support and encouragement…
Sam
I’ll pray for ya and your channel. You are doing great things with this channel and and it’s only growing bigger and bigger from here. Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed the series in the pond build. Gonna need to see pics of it full of water. Thanks for a great vid Sam!
Thanks and I really appreciate you supporting the channel. I enjoyed making these videos and was a cool project.
I need to see water in it too! 🤔😀
Awesome Job & Message!!
Thank you Greg!😀
Sooooo enjoyed the content, God bless you brother with sharing the gospel with us
Thank you Rick. I appreciate that and for supporting the channel.😀
God Bless,
Sam
Great message, one of the best, straightforward and true, thanks! This video had the best content of all so far, easy to follow every step of the project, thanks again for your time and effort!!!
Thank you Brian I appreciate the feedback on the channel and videos. Glad you enjoyed the message too!
God Bless,
Sam
That is some great work. Great video and backing the dozer over the camera was a view.
Thank you James! I liked that camera view too. It turned out pretty good…
Sam
If possible could you go back and update us on the pond since you finished.
Colby, that is a good idea and I am planning an update video where I visit a few different jobs and see what they look like now. I’m also curious how some of the jobs look too…
Thanks,
Sam
Awesome! Love the videos but most important I appreciate your stance with Christ and sharing the gospel in your videos!
Hey Colby I appreciate that and glad you are enjoying the message…
God Bless
As always that was a great message Sam! I watch your channel because of your message.The pond turned out great and I'm sure you learned a lot on this job that is going to help you on other jobs. Keep up the great work. Be Safe and GOD BLESS!
Thank you Jim. I appreciate the encouragement and thankful the message is a blessing to you.
I did learn a lot and enjoyed the pond job for sure…
Awesome job Sam! That is a massive job for one man!
Definitely was a big one but really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Thanks,
Sam
Hello, first watching your Channel! Thank you for entertaining me . 64 year old retired! Put in my 48 years straight…. 👍🏻👀🎥🙃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥃🍺🍿
Thank you and welcome to the channel. Glad you are enjoying it and sounds like you have put in some work over the years…😀
Thanks,
Sam
Great finish Sam! It looks amazing! Great message as well :)
Thanks! It was a great project and I learned a lot as well.
God Bless…
Job well done Sam. We don’t know what we are capable of if we never take the opportunity to learn. So you having the courage to do something on a bigger scale than normal just prepares you for future jobs. Looks like your business name is growing and growing. Glad to hear. I’ll be in Kingston next weekend for a family event. Have a great Sunday
Thanks Tony I appreciate the encouragement. And that was well said! Have a great time with the family in Kingston…
Thank you as well. Plan on it. You’re welcome
Nice finish pond project. Can't wait to see the Nex project.
Thanks Charles. Should have some good ones coming up soon. Definitely looking forward to the next big pond project too…😀
Sam
I like it . Good work!! Thanks for sharing God's Word!! Are you related to Dirt perfect? God Bless!!
Thank you JB! Glad you are enjoying the message! Not related to Dirt Perfect…
God Bless
Really, really looks good Sam! The drone over flight put it in perspective. Incredible amount of dirt for one man to move. Your messages are great! We all need to draw closer to our Creator and Sustainer in these troubling times.
Thanks, I really enjoyed this project. A bit overwhelming at first but it came out great.
God Bless…
Great job Sam. Looks awesome.
Thank you Ron, I appreciate that…😀
The large pond turned out great!! Excellent job!
Thanks Dave! 😀
Great video and an awesome message. Keep em coming brother.
Thank you James, glad you enjoyed the video and message!
God Bless,
Sam
Awesome job! That pond turned out really sharp! Nice timing with the rain. Hopefully my pond I'm about to start turns out just as nice.
Thanks Andrew I appreciate that!
Hope yours turns out great too. Just keep pushing dirt until it looks good! 😀
Nice work
Hey thanks I appreciate that!
If you would use dozer to push dirt up dam it would be faster and help pack slope.
Definitely would use dozer more on the next one.
Thanks,
Sam
Looks great
Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that…
Sam
@@tristardiggin wonder if you could add a 2 foot or so duck tail to the hog. Looks like it dumps high enough and still has ground clearance, might give you one or two more buckets,just a thought, stay safe.
@@jeffterhune8573 Thanks Jeff…
I would say that could probably be done…
Absolutely the GOSPEL
I’m with you on that Manuel!
God Bless,
Sam
Nice DJI controller mount. I have one that uses the tripod mount screw and works well. Awesome project you have there. Good job. Aloha.
Thanks Gill. Nice to have something to secure the controller. It has hit the floor several times before the mount. 😀
@@tristardiggin it only happened once that it hit the floor for me and the Joystick broke and I needed to replace the whole controller. You got lucky. 🤙
Not good! 😳
Pond or Lake? Throw some salt in it and you might even get it classified as an Ocean.
Yup, just need some waves…
Thanks,
Sam
good job
Thanks Mark, I appreciate that…😀
Sam how what was the overall length and height of the dam? How many man days did it end up taking you?
Hey Chris, I’m not sure on the length, can’t remember how long it was. I think the actual height is in one of the videos but best I remember it’s around 12’. It took around 3 1/2 weeks to build it…
Thanks…
Are you lifting the blade on the dozer while you push it or is the dirt leveling out on its own? Either way it's a heck of a video and a lot of work done.
Hey thanks, I appreciate that. You generally cut dirt or push it to where you want it and then gradually lift the blade to level it where you want it…
Thanks,
Sam
My buddy has a d5k at work. The def injector failed and continued to just spray. Had to replace the injector and then do a 3 hour regen to clean it out. Cat only charged him like 2800 bucks i think.
Yup, I’ve had 2 DEF failures and thankfully both times it was under warranty.
Looks good Sam! I imagine you are feeling better as you get closer to finish.
Love the shot from the tracks on the dozer!
Thank you Brian. This was a big job for me and it felt good to finish it. I agree, I like the shot from the dozer tracks too…
Hahahah at 38mins I was thinking OH NO NOT AGAIN 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate your efforts for great content and especially like your messages from the bible god bless
Yup, gotcha on that one! 🤣😀
Thanks and God Bless
Wow!! Nearly 11k subs. Way to go Sam!
Thanks Remington, I appreciate it. Looks like you are closing in on the magic number. Won’t be long now! 😀
@@tristardiggin man I been working all day and coming home doing a deck job. Doesn’t fit my channel but it’s making money. Wish I had some stuff I could use for content. My starter burned up on my Deere while it’s in the air. I may do a vid on that. Need to get it up and going quick.
Yup just fix it up and throw it on the channel…
New to the Channel, you have a pretty good thing going here looks like it's taking off like wildfire. Very cool leveling system on your cat. Haven't seen that on DP or ld18. You got one up on them
Thank you Robert and welcome to the channel. Trimble Earthworks was a great addition to the dozer. I’m really enjoying how the grade control works and more efficient.
Sam
Sam that would of been a little much for the 308 lol ,but not impossible. How long have you been working for yourself? At what point did you know it was time to quit your regular job and go for it. Appreciate your advice and videos
Mike that is right! It would have been a really big job for the 308. Was glad to have the 313 for the pond job.
I’ve been self employed doing excavation work for 4 years this past July. I was farming full time and excavating part time before that. I knew it was time to go full time in excavation when we sold the farm and I was officially unemployed. 😀
Was a great transition though and really enjoy dirt work…
Thanks,
Sam
What was an estimate price point for this size project??
There are a lot of variables in bigger jobs that could swing the price a good bit either way. But you could consider a descent size pond to be between 15k and 30k.
Awesome pond good work.
Thank you Jeff, I appreciate that!
Sam
Not half bad .
Thanks 😀
Amen brother keep it up
Thanks, I appreciate that! 😀
Looks like you're starting to get some larger projects & hope you didn't under-bid too much to get it
That 50⁰ bulldozing looks proper butt clenching & I am sure it feels even worse actually sitting inside the cab doing it worrying it's going to tip.
50⁰ must be borderline on the limits of how steep the dozer can handle?
Looks like really good though & I think you really enjoyed that project.
Thanks and definitely starting to get bigger jobs. Didn’t miss it by much, probably around 10 or so hours.
It was steep for sure. But the dozer would start to slide when it gets to steep. But in some situations it could turn over.
Thanks,
Sam
I love watching pond builds but not one channel I watch do a pond build and then show us when it is finished and full with water not one channel does it
Thanks John I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed the video. I’m planning to do an update video of this pond job and several other jobs.
Thanks,
Sam
@@tristardiggin man that would be great love you're videos bro..
You’re doing great Sam. Looks good and congrats on growing your channel. Look forward to watching your videos every week. Keep it up brother.
Thank you Michael! I certainly appreciate you supporting the channel and helping it grow… 😀
You may want to look into boss fuel trailers their half the price of the thunder creek trailers using a 100 gal tank isn't enough for your fleet
Haven’t heard of that trailer. I will look at that.
Thanks,
Sam
@@tristardiggin I was looking at the thunder creek and seen them on Stan the dirtmonkey channel and their half the price
Do you remember what they were priced at?
@@tristardiggin Still quoting mine but around 20k 600 gal with def and gas generator with toolboxes
@@rodneystewart8958 ok thanks
Hey, I was curious how hard is it to get parts for your jcb truck?
I looked around on the internet some and so far haven’t found a good source. There is a JCB dealer in Chattanooga but I haven’t tried ordering parts from them yet.
Looks great Sam!
Thanks, I appreciate it…😀
Hopefully u can come back and get a video when its got water.
I definitely will get some pics as it fills up. It’s gonna take a lot of water for sure…
Looks great Sam slicked up very well by the end!!!! How much freeboard is this going to have (sorry if I missed it in the videos)? Hope after a whole lot more rain than we have been getting you can do a follow up after it fills up.
Yup, I hope to get back out there and get picks when it’s full. It has 2’ of freeboard.
Thanks…
Well done !
Great work :)
Greetings from Germany ✌️
Thanks I appreciate it! That’s cool that you found the channel in Germany! 😀
@@tristardigginyeah :)
8:32 I did a little research and you don't need to worry about getting warts form frogs 👀☺️😂
@Sir_Mike Now that’s funny! 😀
@@tristardigginI was scared for a second because we have a lot of frogs around the farm I'm working on😂😂😂
Damn you got me with this 😂😂😱
@Sir_Mike 😂😂😂
Are you going to put a over flow pipe in the da
The property owner only wanted the spillway for now…
Looking good! I have a small excavation business myself and just curious if you priced this job based off of cubic yards of dirt moved or by the amount of time you projected to have in the job? Ex: daily rate per machine?
I generally always bid the jobs Time and Materials. I estimated this job to take around 120 hours and it took around 128 give or take a few hours. Also included 2.5 day’s clearing the land.
I appreciate the reply! I bid by the job as well. Within a few hours on a 100+ hr project is pretty close to perfect.
I was concerned it was going to take a lot more than that about half way through. But things picked up pretty quick.
Thanks
Sam, how big is the pond? An acre or 2 ? I have a lot of dirt to move if I want a 2 acre pond/ hole in the ground…oh boy
Yup, a 2 acre pond will be a bunch of dirt! Didn’t get an exact measurement but probably around 1 acre. I guess I should measure it when I go back for equipment.
Thanks,
Sam
@@tristardiggin turned out nice ! What a blessing to run into Mike and have him come help and share his knowledge
Thanks Joey, Mike was a great help that day for sure…
I’m sure you don’t want to discuss the cost of this pond but do you have an idea of the hours you spent building it?
I had around 128 hours in this pond. Including about 2.5 days clearing the land.
whats the water source for that pond
Water shed from the fields above the pond…
Thanks,
Sam
What size shirt do you wear. I will send you one of mine
Thanks Bill! 😀
XL will work…
Awesome video
Thank you Larry! 😀
Where you been?
Whew! This video about got the best of me. Took forever to edit this one. 😀
whats the double beep i keep hearing on your dozer
That is the seat belt alarm. It goes of periodically.
Thanks,
Sam
1st, the job turned out really nice. I know it had to seem like the more dirt you moved, the more you needed to move. That was a big job, but you came through with flying colors. Well done.
2nd, I noticed you operate in excavator mode, will the computer pull grade if you change it to backhoe mode?
3rd, great message. Sometimes, I find myself getting caught up in daily activities and failing to live the sanctified life. I just ask for forgiveness and try to do better the next day. Keep up the good work brother.
Thank you I appreciate that.
It was a big job for me but I just kept pushing dirt and it came together.
That is a good question about switching patterns. I’m guessing it will but not 100% on that. I do know I’m terrible at backhoe controls. 😀
I also struggle at living the way I should every day. But the fact that we recognize it and strive to work on that means we desire to live that way. If that made sense! 🤔
God Bless
Test question: Lake sized pond! 😂
That’s a good one! 🤔😂😀
I am new to your ch. very nice
Thank you Chris and welcome to the channel.
Sam
😊😊😊😊
That was my expression when I got it finished! 😀
Whats that beeping on the dozer?
Guessing it’s the back up alarm or maybe the drone controller. Could be the Trimble system too. At what time in the video did you hear it.
If I could do one job for the rest of my life, it would be dirt work.
Yes Wade I can go with you on that one! 😀👍
The answer to your question is simple, it's a pond a lake has running water, a pond has standing water.
