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!
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.
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 👍
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.
Good To hear that John Made it safety through the surgery. Get well soon John.nice Video.now the cows will have some water too.they be Happy To get a Drink of fresh water plus the pond will fill Up too.very Kool man .
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 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.
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! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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!
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
Was just back up in your neck of the woods Chris....... Lived in Raleigh for 18 years....... now in Brunswick County..... I kinda miss it up there!!!!!
Sending prayers to "Uncle John" !! Get Well, Hope to see you back at it soon......Great work Chris !! Nice and Neat , and well done , as always !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next...
Feel for ya Big John , hope all goes well. My out patient surgery w/4 was recovery ( 3rd Hernia Repair ) on July 2nd. turned into 2 more ER visits for 5 days each, and Losing 3" of my small Intestine in a 2nd Emergency Surgery. , 4wks. Turned into adding 6 more on top of that for recovery. Highly restricted at first, leaving me only a few things that I can do. Sleep Pee Or have a BM, has long as I don't apply more the 10lbs of force doing it. Lol
just love watching you at work used to do this years ago and watching you makes a man wont to dig again but those days are over for me so watching a master of so meany machines is a pleasure keep the videos coming as i enjoy your work one thing i must ask is where die the name LETS DIG 18 COME FROM AS I DON'T SEE ANY REFERENCE TO IT JUST CURIOUS IS ALL CHEERS MATE
Prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery, John.
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!

Good work Chris, amazing how effective that sock pipe is, works well, thanks for sharing.
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!
An amazing touch and a great result.
Wish we had Sandy soil like that. Gumbo sticks to every buck down here. Pretty work.
Great episode. Enjoyed it! Thanks
Please pass on best wishes for a speedy & full recovery to John from here on the other side of the Pond.
Good lookin job Chris those french drains work good
Your channel has taught me so much thank you for taking the time to make these
I hope for John's speedy recover. It would be strange not seeing those knees.😀
Right
Prayers to John speedy recovery 😁
Great work! I have learned a lot by watching your videos. If you ever need a hand I'm right down the road near Pinehurst NC.
👍 always nice to learn how to do something. 🇺🇸 God is good.
hope John has a speedy recovery have a great day Chris
You guys have some nice topsoil down there. Unlike NY we have 20 stone to 1 dirt
That is some really excellent advice on that floating catch basin. Thanks man.
Chris, hope John is doing well, great job thanks for sharing! Kevin

@@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
I love the way the side of the big green truck that brought the pipe folds down. Neato!
What a machine that Yanmar is. That angle blade looks pretty sweet
Great job and hope to see Uncle John back soon!!
Easy job well suited for Strawbs. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰
great job buddy and great video as always buddy praying for uncle john 😎👊🏻👍🏻🙏🏻 that’s a cool pipe truck
Get well John!!
Was just back up in your neck of the woods Chris....... Lived in Raleigh for 18 years....... now in Brunswick County..... I kinda miss it up there!!!!!
Georgia? Brunswick County Virginia is not far from where Chris is. Maybe an hour and a half. Used to live there.
Brunswick County NC.... Near Wilmington NC.
Some folks play golf, visit beer bars, or other stuff; Chris digs trenches for fun. That's a true fun zone. Heal quick John!
John won't be worried. Everything is in the safest of hands. We wish him a speedy recovery.
God bless u and the family, most important thing there is buddy.
Wishing Big John a speedy recovery from the Dorthy family !
Sending prayers to "Uncle John" !! Get Well, Hope to see you back at it soon......Great work Chris !! Nice and Neat , and well done , as always !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next...

Well, a wonderful truck unloading the Ultra Rib Pipes. And again a perfect gutter with French Drain etc. That Mini is really handy for such*
I like how they put grass on the step to get into the cab of the Semi!!
Please do wish John all the best for his recovery. Like seeing the old fella sneaking round in the background wondering who he is. :)
Please give John my best wishes and a speedy recovery .
John GWS. Chris keep on trucking. Excellent job as always.
Great job Chris!!!
Praying for a speedy recovery
just love watching you at work used to do this years ago and watching you makes a man wont to dig again but those days are over for me so watching a master of so meany machines is a pleasure keep the videos coming as i enjoy your work
one thing i must ask is where die the name LETS DIG 18 COME FROM AS I DON'T SEE ANY REFERENCE TO IT JUST CURIOUS IS ALL CHEERS MATE
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 ?? 🤣🤣🤣
Be well, John!
Nice job Chris 👍😎🇬🇧
Prayers for Big John!
Y'all have great equipment
