Glad to hear that John got through his surgery OK! Tell him to enjoy his time off, because there will be plenty of work waiting for him when he recovers!
Great tip on the box. I’ve seen 1200 concrete septic tanks float out of the ground so you know those little boxes will. Glad to hear John is doing well.
That pipe truck was interesting bro so thanks for showing that. Nice tidy finish to the job at hand too. Oh yes here's to a speedy recovery for John also. Safe travels
Prayers for Uncle John's recovery! You probably miss him being around. Many thanks for the closed captions. I'm hard of hearing, even with hearing aides, from too many years in the factories as an electrician. The captions really help to understand you. Glad they are back. You are quite the operator, so smooth! My dad operated all his life, so I grew up a lot like you did. He taught me to run a hi-lift and backhoe before I was old enough to drive. Some of my best memories are the times I spent out on the job with him in the summer. Blessings on you Chris, you're amazing to watch and I've learned some things too. Never too old to learn, even at 67.
How is it that Chris can dig a perfectly straight ditch like drawing a line on a map but if I try to do something as simple as put in a post big enough for a child's tennis ball trainer, I find a 6" hunk of basalt right where I choose to drive the post? Every darn time.
Tell John we have him in our prayers, too young for such nonsense as operations. :( Nice job, I thought you would haul off excess dirt but you lost it. 👍😊
Best wishes for a complete recovery for John! At least that property owner doesn't need to worry as much as we do up here about road salt washing into the pond through that drain. Do something like that up _here_ and in a few years your pond will be fit for tuna, mackerel and mahi!
"I do not know until the future is passed" is always my answer to my family when they ask how complete assortment I must have in piles at home! Of course You never know! ;D
One man crew again, you’re always working hard my friend! Nobody can say any different! Looks great Chris, I’m always impressed by how you dig a grade almost by eye! Good job brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn Chris you are an artist with that excavator !!!! Really know what you are doing. Yeah I have a backhoe on a compact tractor and have dug a lot of ditches, but our soil is as much rack as dirt and I can really appreciate his talent. Chris is definetely more talented than Mr Dirt Perfect !!!!
I have a feeling that it's going to hold a bunch of water being a corrugated pipe. I would have gone with schedule 40 pvc piping because of the smooth walls will let the water flow without being restricted and the PVC won't clogg up
Dang! It must be nice to dig with so few rocks. Here in Nova Scotia you can't drive a tent peg without hitting a piece of granite the size of a pickup truck!
I enjoy your videos, when I was in college I worked summers for an excavation contractor . We did mostly schools and larger projects so I had the opportunity to work with many operators (I was a laborer) and you guys aren’t all created equal. Some guys you just didn’t feel safe with when in a ditch. I would definitely feel safe with you as you are buttery smooth now I know the machine and it’s age and maintenance play a role in the operators performance as well. Also your final grading skills are top notch. Keep up the good work.
That's good that John is doing well and I was counting the number of buckets of gravel 12 in total definitely better to have more then not enough and did I hear the bucket hit some rock awesome job Chris 👍
Is there anyone on the planet better at finessing the controls of an excavator than Chris? I can really appreciate it. It's like flying a helicopter, which I do. But I'm not as smooth to the touch with an excavator as Chris. My wife asked me after watching me running an excavator, "you sure you fly helicopters for a living?"
Glad to hear that John got through his surgery OK! Tell him to enjoy his time off, because there will be plenty of work waiting for him when he recovers!
Prayers and Godspeed on Uncle John's recovery....
Prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery, John.
Good Lord that pipe truck sounds like my bones and muscles in the morning when getting out of bed!
Please tell Uncle John we said prayers for a speedy recovery! Hugs and strength to you!
hope john has a speedy recovery,
very nice to see strawberry shortcake on the job
Sir, you are a true "artist of the dirt" my friend. The finished touch you apply using big equipment is simply amazing!!
I never knew how they carried pipe like that thanks for showing it.
Have you ever seen concrete pipe haulers? They’re impressive
@@jeff7764 No I haven't but you have me interested now lol
That pond is beautiful!! Loved the French drain !
That was a nice quick little job . I’m sure when you complete every job no one can feel that you have been there
Glad to hear John's doing well, make sure he doesn't rush back to work to early. Great video Chris. Take care.
That is a hell of a nice-looking place.
I hope for John's speedy recover. It would be strange not seeing those knees.😀
Right
Awesome work! Once that grass takes youd never know it was there!
The new Iron horse sure is pretty 😍

Little Strawberry Shortcake dug a beautiful straight ditch. Thanks for the good news on John's recovery.
Speedy recovery and best wishes and prayers for Big John.
Thank you for explaining as you go. It's great to learn.
Sending prayers for John's full recovery and strength!

Enjoyed the vid, nicely done. Gave me a few ideas, on a smaller scale of course. Thanks
Looks good! Glad everything went good with Jon!
Some folks play golf, visit beer bars, or other stuff; Chris digs trenches for fun. That's a true fun zone. Heal quick John!
Glad John is recovering, prayers.
That angle blade on the Mini is slicker than frog spit. Great job!
Good work Chris, amazing how effective that sock pipe is, works well, thanks for sharing.
Speedy recovery and get well soon uncle John Great job as always Chris Thanks for sharing 👍
Hope John gets to feeling better.... thoughts and prayers for him.
I like how they put grass on the step to get into the cab of the Semi!!
Good job, Chris. Prayers for Jon's full recovery.
Get well soon John. Chris, you really do a clean job. Thanks for sharing.
HI CHRIS, WHEN THE RAIN FALLS, CAN YOU COME BACK OUTSIDE AND SHOW US THAT DRAIN WORKING, WATCHING FROM BARBADOS, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
Yep, I was going to ask the same thing. :)
Great job on this project! Wishing Uncle John a speedy recovery!
Happy that John is okay. Prayers for a quick and full recovery. God bless.
An amazing touch and a great result.
My prayers are with john, just had heart repairs tue. Hope you feel great, you and chris are a great team
Don't let Big John rush back too soon after surgery, Old timers are buggers for ''I'm fine'' attitudes when really they just need to rest for a bit.
What, you know me ?? 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the great vids. I have learned so much from watching you work the different jobs. Keep up the excellent content.

You obviously haven't watched his Vet Hospital videos!
@@spamlessaccount That is for sure. That was a nightmare of a long job. I swear the ground was breeding rock.
Guess your unlucky
Watch Chris on the animal hospital job there you will see plenty of rock .
That’s a good sign of skill
Strawberry Shortcake rides again!
Call her by her proper name: Сєвєродоне́цьк, and say it caringly and tenderly.
Tell John we have him in our prayers, too young for such nonsense as operations. :(
Nice job, I thought you would haul off excess dirt but you lost it. 👍😊
Ha, we was Sure Chris was going to have to haul off some dirt too, especially when he filled the trench wit rock. 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤭
@@annafraley5388 Skill. 👍😊
Good job Chris as always! Glad John is doing good! We will be praying for him!
The drain you have perfectly make to every time. For uncle John a speedy recovery. The video verry good, thanks the night is saving. 🇦🇹

@@ekfalcons09 corragated is used ALL the time in field drainage and it works....!!!!! He knows what he is doing !!!
@@ekfalcons09 that pipe is corrugated on the outside smooth as PVC inside
Glad to hear that John is doing ok will keep him in our prayers, Nice little job Chris turned out awesome.
Dang! It must be nice to dig with so few rocks. Here in Nova Scotia you can't drive a tent peg without hitting a piece of granite the size of a pickup truck!
Your channel has taught me so much thank you for taking the time to make these
Heal completely and quickly, John. I could say the trench excavation was not very straight, but I would be LYING!! Superb job, Chris.
Glad to hear John is doing well. As always enjoyed the video. Nice quick little project.
That is some really excellent advice on that floating catch basin. Thanks man.
Another beautiful grading job!
