Good job of editing in serene, peaceful music at an appropriate volume during the drone sequence. The music matched the lake setting being shown.
This one's going to be interesting! That dam looks like it was getting ready to fail in multiple spots
There are only a few things in Life more Interesting and Enjoyable than Watching a 10-acre Pond Drain. 😬👍
The pond whisperer is back. Looks like a great project right up your alley.
The folks in the area are so lucky to have someone like Chris to call on when they need dirt work. Hope they appreciate him. I had a good friend and professional carpenter pass away from that God Damn cancer at 49! Still hurts! R.I.P. Dan, it was a blessing to know you.
I love the pond jobs videos. It would be cool if you could set up a separate static camera off to the side somehow, to record the whole process and be able to time lapse the whole job at the end of the series. Anyway, still love seeing the dirt dug and learning why.
That's not a bad idea. I wonder if you can get a game camera to do a time lapse with a picture every hour.
👍😀
@Fix_It_Again_Tony go pros can do time lapse. I agree though, it be awesome to see start to finish in a reasonable time.
An interesting thing about dams is that it doesn't matter how many acres of water there is - how strong a dam has to be is ONLY a matter of how deep the water is, at the dam. A half-acre pond that's 10 feet deep will need a dam that's twice as strong as a 10 acre pond that's 5 feet deep. That's because water pressure is what the dam has to hold back & water pressure is proportional to depth.
Mechanically yes, but I believe dam engineering standards change with water volume change because of the risk associated larger volumes of water. I'd love to hear someone else's input on this matter too.
You also need to take care about conditions leading to hydrostatic soil liquefaction
Yep,true.
If a failure happens a thin dam will fail quicker and thus let more water go in a shorter time but until that point it's all good
Thank you elder one
Water pressure is mainly on the bottom all the weight of the water is on the floor of that pond that's why dams are more sensible to fix. Easier to take pressure off.
Wow, that’s a very narrow, damaged dam holding back a massive amount of water. This will be fun to watch Chris fix this one.
Its a wonder it hasnt failed before, or at this point etc. Should be interesting
Never in my life did I think I would be excited to watch a random guy playing in the mud...
I have been watching for a while. I enjoy your voice and that south eastern drawl you have...
I think a lot of us would like to hear stories of the funny stuff you have run across...
Curious how many videos this job will take... Which is a drop in the bucket compared to the actual time it takes ... ☮️
This is like the third large pond/lake maintenance or construction video I've watched. I have no interest in heavy machinery, I haven't fished in years, and Lord knows I have things i should be doing.
I love them. They're soothing or something.
Really nice drone footage and music at the beginning. Thank you for sharing this video
Every time you build/dredge a pond and we all comment it needs to be bigger and deeper, this is the pond we want.
Happy to see you back, the vacation was very entertaining, some crazy stuff you guys found lol. This pond will be epic. Chris, you have really grown your business a lot since the linkbelt days.
Agreed!! The auction vids are always entertaining.
I Meet Chris at the Yoder & Frey auction this year, had a nice talk with him and he a very down to earth guy and enjoyed meeting him, and the auctions was great too !!!!
I'm from the Czech Republic and we have been building ponds for about 1000 years here. When I see some of the techniques you use in the US I'm just Laughlin g. You should come over to my pond and learn how to do it the right way 😂
I really do prefer this music on your drone video than the previous one.
Nothing like a letsdig18 new video on a snowy sleety day. Made my day!!!
Awesome, looks like your back in your element now Chris, gonna be a sweet project, look forward to seeing the series of videos from this pond job, thanks for sharing an sharing awesome content 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love watching your pond work! This dam definitely needed a Chris makeover!
Your explanation of what's needed & why makes the whole project much clearer, thanks.
It is a great deal of fun and a source of frustration to watch you take down those trees. You come up to a tree and in just a couple of minutes you have it down and out of the way, stump and all. Me.....I just spent 2 hours with my little 25hp tractor with backhoe trying to get an old oak stump out of my mothers flower garden. Right tool for the right job right? LOL I got it done but man, sometimes I sure wish I had that excavator. But then again, I likely wouldnt be able to get it into the yard LOL.
🤣🤣 "got good flow! Cleared up nicely... & look like the pond has gone down.... an inch!" Lmfao!!! Chirs you are just a gem to watch and so beyond entertaining ❤️
Beautiful piece of property. The owner did a good job clearing the dam and thinning his little patch of woods there.
The 10-acre pond is back! Yeah!
The way you operate your machine is a work of art. Finesse and accuracy is on point!
Have you ever had a problem of water flowing onto other property causing damage?
My guy put a life vest one! gotta love it.
Pond builds/rebuilds are some of the best content.
This is a weird niche algorithm spot that UA-cam keeps feeding me
It is an honour to watch the evolution of the letsdig18 fleet. A picturesque pond (drone views) will be a beauty when finished - lots of work.
I never tire of your work. Thank you, Sir.
Good to see you back in the Volvo Chris. Looks like a darn good project.
Beautiful property! When a pond is almost a lake! HUGE!
17:16 "Hopefully that's not a body" BAWHAHAHAHA
Well, here we go again.
Another fascinating pond job by Chris and his Uncle John.
I don't know why but I sure as dog stuffin's love watching Chris when he's in his zone working a pond build or rehab.
This one comes under Pond damn restoration widening.
That looks like a good amount of work . Can’t wait to see the end product
“I hope that’s not a body” … 🤣 Another fun project!
This is going to be an interesting job. I'm looking forward to seeing all your equipment there and you'll get to try out your new haul truck. It'll be an interesting series of videos on this pond 10 acres that's quite the bond. 👍👍😀🇨🇦🌳
Looks like some sweet dirt for a change!
I love these bigger builds 👍👍👍
Beautiful spread. Big job. The client did a great job clearing.
Chris looks like another great pond job! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Absolutely amazing how much equipment you’ve acquired since this project.
Chris they sure have the number one man for for that big job have seen you do some very big ponds.
LET'S GET DIGGIN' !! This is going to be EPIC!
Glad to see you back to work. God Bless
Man that's a pretty place. I know when ur done it'll be 100% right. I absolutely love ur videos. Been watching u since the beginning. I swear if I was closer I'd drive there an help u on weekends!!!!!!!. Best of luck to you sir
This is going to be another Let’s Dig projects with Dirt being moved, Timber’s, and big fires. Woo woo here we go. 😁😁😁👍
Nice to have you back .
Oh boy, a big job here !
PS: So funny, At 23:48, when you started the dozer, the sub-titles showed " Thank you." 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful piece of property
Nice aerial shot, that pond is huge and looks like a couple areas are eroding out pretty significantly. Looking forward the series on this one for sure. Thanks for the ride along.
Good Love wen you Recontruction on new old Pond .
love watching these big projects!
Great video,hope you enjoyed your time off,glad to see you back playing in dirt mud,water.back in your element.just keep doing what your doing and get er done.👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
This is going to be good! That’s one heck of a big pond!
This is a cool project!
Welcome back from vacation. From the videos it sure looked like you, DP and Clint had a lot of fun. This new job looks exciting. I'll be looking forward to the videos as you release them. Thanks for the entertainment Chris.
This is going to be an awesome series❗ I really enjoy when you fix big ponds , but fully enjoy watching you build the big ponds from scratch. 🙂
Hope you had a great vacation
That's a big pond. Can't wait to see you finish it!
White oak prices are up! Excited for another pond project!
Nice to see a Troll free page Chris :-)
The trollers might be involved in a war at the moment
Interested in watching how this goes. Never realized all that went into a pind
Just got here to hear what’s Gotta be done. WOW but you’re the man to do it. Will be interesting to see more videos on this project.
Been waiting for this job! Chris, any plans to get your own compactor? Can't wait to see the "new" dozer in action. Old school equipment is just plain fun to see working.
Pond Doctor is back at it and it's going to be a big one. Take care stay safe and God bless.
chris great job. i was bugging dirt perfect to get his vids up to date
This is going to be a great project and series, great job sir
I know, it’s painful to watch dry ground and open water when it’s two feet of snow, 18” of ice on the lake out front and minus 10 outside! Central Ontario Muskoka Lakes. The Malibu of Canada.
I enjoy you and the 220 at work!
I enjoyed you and Clinton and his dad and Mike,miss tator,know he’s been busy!
Looks like a piece of haven 👍 nice property .
Would enjoy seeing the progress and start to finish on this one. Would make a nice mini series!
I am excited to watch this projects progress.
That's going to take a minute to drain LOL Can't wait to see more of this project :)
Look like this will be a lot of damn work and very interesting I am thinking. Seems like a lot of overflow pipes which make for a lot of work.
Stay safe working on that narrow dam.
Looking forward to this project.
This is is going to be a great project Chris.👍🇬🇧🍺
Looking forward to watching this project bro it looks a great viewing one as more equipment is needed. Safe travels.
Yes!!! Pond builds (or rebuilds) are best builds.
Dawns here ☀️
It’s going to be a good project to watch.
Thanks Chris great content
This is going to fun to watch, Chris!! Also looking forward to seeing you on the D6, even though that's not until another project!
The boat man !!!
I’m 69, f, ?retired? residential builder
Damn, enjoy ur videos
TY
That’s a pretty big pond. Looking forward to this one, should be good. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
I love the pond re-dos!
Love the aerial views and music. Nice pond. What no "Timber"? I was waiting!
Nice my Friend, watching from Canada. Full support her my friend
I had to open a lake valve just like that once and the homeowner refused to let me go out alone like you did.
Of course we both ended up in the lake when she capsized the boat - and it was COLD! 🥶
Sounds like a good team effort!
@@po4RP20361 - I zigged when she zagged - I think we were on different teams!
@@Manoffire260 Lol, thats been known to happen!
😁
This is your job? You have way too much fun!! 😃
Looking like a great start to new job.
Love your work sir!
Captain Chris sailing the high seas!
"hopefully that's not a body" hahahaha
Man that’s a lot faster than my little backhoe attachment for my John Deere!
"It`s just a mess",,,that`s why they called the Pond Master. We heard the track squeek, did Mr.Donnie let the mud try out during transport? Yes - you do love your tree snapping 220. Would have been nice if you had called last week - could have met you & Mike in Lake City along I-75 or somewhere in Jax on I-95.
Dang I love that “little” D39 …. But that D61 Mike fired up at the auction, sounded GOOD-ERER!!😜
Looking forward to this job!!
this is going to be a good rebuild
Hell you could put a boat and couple jet skis and have a damn good time in there. That's what I'm talking about. Thought my little 3 1/2 acre pond was big.
When I see a good operator that makes
Every move of his bucket count it reminds you of a person's hand reaching
Out an doing the work
As a dear friend of mine said you have to be slow enough to make moves
Count an fast enough to where at end of shift you have made a big difference in you're work
And most of don't get so fast you don't
Get anything down but a mess
Where they have to hire someone to come an fix you're mess because that sure will keep you on soup line
But the best part is enjoy you're work
So others will too
An always to be working for next job
You have a VIIRTUE many don't possess these days, Chris!...PATIENCE! 😉
This will be an awesome project. 👍
Chris, can't wait to see work in progress, good job on starting, greetings from Alaska
Use that concrete around the outlet of the pipe that’s a beautiful pond good luck thanks for the video!!!
I kinda miss the old videos of ya filming on the truck and transporting equipment! 😁😁
