Thanks for showing how you approach to properly break tree limbs off and the best way to stack them, certainly appreciate your advise on what works best for you. With that knowledge it save a lot of trial and error on our part.
I have a repair similar so it will interesting to see how you do yours. I am thinking of putting in a flash board riser and straight piping through the dike then putting riff raff on the discharge side. I think with the riser I can control the height I want to keep the pond. I might put rubber on the edge of the 2x6 boards to minimize leaks. Am, I wrong? Side note, it’s on our property so… the only one I have to worry about satisfying is my wife and I. I have never done this before so it will be interesting.
Can I ask one more question, one more brother, how do you go about deciding how to plan a site. Do you just go off of what you see once you get to the site/freestyle based on your experience? I'm sure customer will ask for specific things but unless that's there background... so with raw wooded hillside/mountain terrain does the topographic map play into the design?
Would you be able to give some advice on choosing someone with a similar skill set as yourself, I'm struggling to find competent excavators that aren't part of huge companies that don't want to build a driveway/make a house pad, on a 3 acres hillside
@@DigginLife21 I'm in connecticut, in the area where between where I live and where the job is there maybe 50 plus "tree service" companies and they all claim excavation as well. It only really means they can give a hole. If ppl used social media like you do here it'd be easy to choose.
A couple years ago you had a pond repair with a similar situation. That went good. My Grandfather always said,” Don’t fix it if it isn’t broke”! My advice is ….. wash, rinse, repeat. That should be easy for you and give us some great drone footage. You Da MAN!!! 👍👍👍
@@DigginLife21 best I can remember, that project had a couple unexpected wrinkles, but you got it sorted out. Lessons learned are lessons earned! Awesome job sir. You got this!👍
@@DigginLife21 I enjoy your videos, I’ve watched a lot of them over the years. I always try to like and comment to hopefully help the algorithm for you.
Looking good Todd!
Thanks Brian
Awesome job Todd I appreciate your videos
Anytime brother!!!
Blippi and goldfish, story of my life.

Yup, I need to use that advise and break them up more instead of using the saw…🤪
Well I hate for you to give up that chainsaw work…I know you love it 🤣

Glad to be of help as always
Build a short coffer dam between the drain and the carp. Leave them 1 to 2 feet of water - they’ll be fine.
You’re on the right track!!!

From your description I think you are in the right track
Todd,
I thought the audio with the open window was excellent. The limbs and roots breaking really added to the experience in my opinion.
Get input!!! Thanks Scott
My word..... I thought you flipped over for a split second

I do use topo maps a lot of the time to get a lay of the land but it’s usually walking the land that I make the biggest decisions
What Brand of safety glasses you wear in this vedio n love watch n you n my Lil man shaggy watches u to
Stihl. Thanks for watching👍👍👍
What would you do with a large volume of what I call, ‘forest luff’ and mulched pine?
That’s a great question. It would really depend on what options I had

Really the best way is to ask around and get someone that has had a good experience with someone to refer a company to you. Where are you located?
