    Good job of editing in serene, peaceful music at an appropriate volume during the drone sequence. The music matched the lake setting being shown.

    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.

    • @Fix_It_Again_Tony
      @Fix_It_Again_Tony 2 роки тому +2

      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.

    @bobengelhardt856 2 роки тому +59

    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.

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus 2 роки тому +6

      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.

    • @foivosapostolos1211

      You also need to take care about conditions leading to hydrostatic soil liquefaction

    • @ronchappel4812
      @ronchappel4812 2 роки тому

      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

    • @generalfresh4421
      @generalfresh4421 2 роки тому

      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.

  • @tcsdoc
    @tcsdoc 2 роки тому +37

    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.

    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 ... ☮️

    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.

    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
