    Good interview. Chris is a matter of fact guy, good natured with a wicked sense of humor.

    Omg, that was great to see again. Helps to remember where he came from doing side jobs while working for his uncle and the beginning of his fleet. He just finished up Brian's job on the dam rebuilds and seeing all that new machinery and what it takes to do a major job is amazing. That said he is one hard worker and does.not cut corners so anyone is lucky to get him on their job site. Then there is your channel and the amazing amount of transformation you have done to that property although it was not mentioned much in this interview. That trail through the woods to a clearing out back sure did get run over by the pond and house lots and so much more. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    I didn't watch this the first time round but this is one fantastic video's with Mr Bealy Good and Chris, I used to own my own truck year's ago possibly before Chris finished high school or started working and the story is exactly the same today as when I was pricing work with and tacking into consideration the diesel, road tax, insurance, liability insurance, goods in transit insurance, and that was all before I could feed my wife and 2 kid's then pay myself a wage most of these questions go all the way back in time and right up to date so I understand why Chris kept these thing's private, all that being said thank you Geoff and Chris for another fantastic video.

    I love this interview with Chris. If you interviewed him today. With all his new equipment and prices and 4x higher. I'd hate to have his expenses and upkeep. It's no wonder why Chris is working 6-7 days a week just to keep up. I'm sure people think he has time to kick his feet up and watch a game. But between working and the farm, Chris is lucky to have time to sleep. Great interview, Bealey Good.

    Your both spot on when talking about things that go into running a business.
    Running the equipment, using the tools, whatever it is you do is only a fraction of what it takes to running a successful business.
    You guys have learned a lot in your years. Just when you think you have it down, something else pops its ugly head up.
    I laugh when I hear someone saying "I've seen it all". Just confirms they haven't been in it long enough. I kept learning more about business till the day I retired! (And I'm still learning)😉

    Yeah people don't realize what stuff costs. I'm an owner operator truck driver and peoplesay I make so much money. Well I have to to pay for everything. A new truck 4 years ago was 155k. Oil changes are 500, just put 4k in tires on my truck last week and I'm on track to spend 65k in diesel this year. And thats not including buying a trailer then slowly rebuilding it. Owning your own business isn't cheap.

    love Bealy Good and letsdig18 plus dirt perfect. When great people like this do videos of their own work its good quality control and great advertisement.I think people will start looking for contractors who actually video their jobs to see how good they are and that its done right. If you have 2 good quotes and one videos and one doesn't, Im likely to go with the one that videos.
    I do love Chris's vids when he revisits places a year or two afterwards.

    That was a good interview. Mr.Bealy ask Chris when will he do an update on some of the projects he's done over the years, I want to see how they look with water in them. Thank you in advance.

    Chris is like me he never got out of the sand box only thing is sand box got bigger and equipment got bigger and Dad's not flipping the bill I just recently bought an excavator last month and for what it cost 25 years ago could have purchased 3 instead of 1 folks doesn't realize all the cost involved to actually do any job there's is just a slice of the pie even though I watched it before still a reminder why we do what we do I love going in behind others and fixing what they screwed up just to guarantee a job next time customer needs something

    I remember that interview and just like most people who after they reach fame they forgot who helped got them there. He was quite the smart-ass and very arrogant and he obviously forgot the very people who got him to were is is are the ones who don't really know his field of work. Chris is a hard worker but we all know he would not have gotten all his new equipment without the support of his viewers. I think Chris really owes some of those people an apology for being such a smartass when they honestly didn't know the answer to those questions. I bet if executive from Volvo asked him some of the same questions he wouldn't have given the same smart-ass answers.

    Chris must now be charging accordingly since now he can afford new machines eg. 220, 350 😂
