Been looking forward to this part. Thanks for sharing Chris. ETA Just finished watching & I wasn't disappointed - this has to be one of your best videos yet & fantastic to see how everything's shaping up.
I enjoyed every minute of this, kinda was disappointed when it stopped. This really is mesmerizing, and I am learning so much! What to do with this knowledge? I have no idea. But it's fun for me.
Chris is an amazing equipment operator. You can tell someone explained to him why you do things a specific way instead of being handed an extremely complicated shovel and told to dig a hole in the ground. It's like trying to drive a car by steering each tired.
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 I have a 5 year degree in Architecture and am familiar with the construction process from the ground up. I can draw the plans. But I have only read the Civil Engineering drawings for site prep - and even then they sometimes are Greek to me. That said, the heavy equipment is all a mystery, and now that I am retired, I can indulge in learning all kinds of things. Could I operate one of Chris's machines? No, not at all. I am very happy to just watch him, and I appreciate your validation that he is that good. It looked that way to me, but I had nothing to base my opinion on other than it looked smooth and his movements were obviously beyond the need to think about how to do anything - he just thinks about what he wants done, and his hands and feet reach out and do it.
Chris your a BUSY man....I want to wish you a Happy Fathers Day and have a Great Weekend.. I really enjoy watching your channel, the work you do, and the commentary while doing it... Awesome Camera Angles & Drone Shots... #LetsDig18
Enjoying your videos and work. Miss my days years ago operating equipment for the energy company I worked for 41 years. Advancement came along for me giving up what was my best loved job.
Back in the day I was working for the farmers and we farmed a 120 acre track of property that was nothing but knolls and my boss always had to cut drains with his backhoe! He had enough and hired an operator and his D12 cat, that sucker pushed right through those knolls and it looked like water rolling in front of the blade and he had a D4 just cleaning up behind him! Chris it was so cool watching the power of that D12 and the blade was freakin humongous! Cool stuff! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 If I remember right I think they had to haul the blade separately from the dozer! That blade was wide! It was something else! I know you know how huge they are!
Many years ago in Alabama my cousin was a dozer operator at a strip mine. He took me out there to see his machine. Holy crap, that monster was beyond huge. Don't remember the exact measurements but I know it was a Komatsu and the blade was over 10 high and 22-24 ft wide. Cannot tell you the model but, damn, it was massive.
Chris it must be nice to be able to see ahead of time what all needs to be done and what it will look like when built, that is an awesome talent. Looking good.
Sure liked how you explained where and how you are putting the pond, where the grade is , the age of the old water area etc. never heard how it’s done, easy for you as I can tell by your work
Information made simple to the general public. Makes it fun and informative. I like how you put your friends to work, makes me want to be your friend.lol. Like the arial shots from the drone, adds a neat perspective to what it takes to do your job. Thanks Chris for taking us all along.
Company I worked for a long time ago messed a pond dig up. Guy working for a subcontractor used a 470 Hitachi excavator and dug the pond. It was into the side of a big hill. The back side... he left an 80 foot verticals wall. 😂 yeah you read the right. Not only that... his wall was way off. I had to use a dozer and side slope push a ton of material back into the far corner. I’m telling you what... side sloping on that 2:1 slope on greasy clay with large rock mixed in... caused a pucker or two. 😂
I see the topsoil layer, pretty obvious now that you dug! I thought that’s what you were talking about, clay on top of the topsoil! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻I really enjoy these videos, I learn a lot from you about dirt and ponds!
Ever thought about adding on a waterfall, wet land or natural filtering for fish or perfectly clear water? You doing amazing work and I could picture you building something magnificent. Great work as always, love the free content
@@BealyGood your the owner correct? You should get in touch with Atlantis Water Gardend owner, he has a yyoutube channel if you wanna see his work and he also travels around the United states doing certain projects from time to time. He loves to collaborate with other people and I think they could do something special or jaw dropping. If the collaboration doesnt work you can at least get some ideas of what you want from his channel. Cant wait to watch the videos and see the final product if this all works out. Oh this builder along with the other great waterfall community built Shaq's waterfall/pond its crazy. Good luck, I recommend zoysia grass if your going to sod areas, low maintenance, slow vertical growth which means less mowing and it loves full sun or shade. I have a degree in Turf Maintenance and a lot of newer cultivars have just come out including innovation zoysia and some ultradwarf varieties if you ever want to build a putting green
A new day to the Homestead project. To start the Pont building is begin. The like to work succeed how every time. Thank you for this video is very good. Greeting to Vienna
Chris, here in Kitty Hawk I saw a root rake special made for a Volvo hoe. It was about 5' wide with 6 tines about 16-20 inches long. He had it fitted where the bucket attaches. It did a good job gathering up roots, stumps and branches, and with the thumb could carry the crap away.
One of the most important things a young boy learns from his father, is to save ones top soils, again in the army especially infantry is using the top soils upon your trenching, as I settled in a volcanic region it's all pumice, any topsoil is especially valuable, of course watching Chris is always the basics,
You finally figured it out, 21:22 Yes, TS Claudette..!! It went over the west & north of us in the Tallahassee area, all we had was ☁️ clouds and wind 🌬
I know you've taken down a LOT of trees, but this is still a wonderful and scenic homesite that anyone could be envious of. You've really done it right!
I enjoy your videos, Chris. That they are also highly educational is an added bonus. Case in point; my nephew wants to build a big pond on his ranch in Arkansas. I've cogitated on it for months, and what I saw today answered a myriad of questions on HOW I should go about doing it. Thank you, my friend!
Excellent video bro it's good you can call in friends for help on these jobs and know they can operate the machines properly and with care. Nice to see the property owner have his cameo too. Safe travels
Hi Chris . You might be able to use that clay for the low spot down the back where you've got that low spot and to raise the road to the back a bit , that's you can't get rid of it on the pond and so you won't have a hi bank ...
For having operated a shovel myself,I really enjoy watching letsdig18 operate,he is very smooth with his bucket(no clinging),and he does'nt make unnessary moves,he thinks ahead,the guy is a pro.
It’s going to be really nice when you get the pond built it is really beautiful up there just from what scenery I’ve seen thanks Chris for all the videos
The shrewd decision (a standard for letsdig18) to split up the topsoil is simple, yet it is profound! What a difference this will make for Bealy Good in the coming years… Bravo Chris…
If you’ve got a lot of waste clay haul it down to the bottoms and use it for fill where you need to put in the culverts. Also for low spots in the road going down there. 👍🙋🏼
I really love your show I think you're very professional. No what you're doing very impressed I'm glad I found your videos I watch them and I'm not into construction or landscaping I enjoy it.
Having a Civil Engineering background is more than a plus, it's a necessity. Thanks for explaining the steps in analyzing the pond construction! Very helpful!!! 👍
@@BealyGood the struggle is definately real when you write those checks lol. Seriously though, you really do have a beautiful piece of land. It's going to be real nice when finished
That clay looks like the stuff you had on that pad you made a while back where the skid steer was leaving rubber marks in the clay because it was packed so hard! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The pond job is comming along real nice. Good To See John in the dozer doing work too.i think its gonna look real nice when everything is finished. The owner doing some camera work, good stuff guys😉.stay safe
Man Chris you made awesome progress in a short time that's some sweet looking material also, great work, the long video was sweet, watched every bit of it, look forward to the next video. 💪🇺🇲🇺🇲
Been looking for ya for a couple days now, I knew, you would have a good one , and this was a really good one Chris !! Know it's hard to get video while your so busy but, really enjoyed this one !! Ya looked like a cat hangin' on a curtain when you was one your 2nd, cut grading off , down that one side....lololol... Can't wait to see the rest of this job, it's gonna turn out Great !! Thanks for taking time Chris to share with us all !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next....
I had a guy level a barn pad and dig a pond 15 years ago. The field was heavy fescue and about 1” top soil with solid clay below that. He did the work while I was at work. The pond was smaller than I had hoped for, but what the heck, live with it. It filled up quickly, just a few weeks. After it filled about a month later, there was a horizontal line of water coming from the dam. I mentioned it to him, he said hmmm, that is the first time it has happened and it would stop soon. 7 years later the level was very low and it froze and killed all the fish. A fey years later, I had it filled in. The guy with the excavator cut the dam and said there is the cause of your leak. The guy did not remove the fescue grass and it was still there clear as day. It cost me way more to fill it than it did to dig it.
@@letsdig18 Didn't realize building a pond dam was such an involved science, Chris, with the different types of dirt, etc. Highly doubt others would be as thorough! Thought any old pile of dirt would hold the water if thick enough. You certainly are transforming this to a beautiful property! Thanks for the education. 😉
Alright! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The ( Pond Doctor) at work, Chris you always explain everything and you know your stuff brother! It’s going to be amazing! lol yeah I heard Mr. Bealy talking about his shoes! lol he’s a character! 🤣
@@SMSabriIsmail I finally went to sleep. It uploaded but UA-cam was taking forever to do the copyright checks. About to put it up. Thanks for waiting 😁
Up here in Michigan we have porous soil and unless you're lucky enough too find a vein of grey marl ,you have to put down a 3 to 5 mil liner, hence most of our ponds are small but deep or shallow with pond heaters to avoid freezing. If you're wealthy then a 2 or 3 acre liner is of no consequence.
I never thought I would see it in a video of yours, where you allowed someone to run your dozer and your excavator. I am impressed! I just thought that would never happen.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Chris uploading a hour and fifteen minute video.....do I have time to watch?? Hell yes I do!!👍👍
When Letsdig18 makes an upload, we MAKE time to watch.
LetsDig18 starring Chris in his first full length feature! I think he’ll be nominated for an Emmy!
Without doubt 👍
Tyyy
Been looking forward to this part.

Badass!!!Diggin in the dirt!!!! Thanks Again 😊My Friend!!!
Back in the day I was working for the farmers and we farmed a 120 acre track of property that was nothing but knolls and my boss always had to cut drains with his backhoe! He had enough and hired an operator and his D12 cat, that sucker pushed right through those knolls and it looked like water rolling in front of the blade and he had a D4 just cleaning up behind him!

Cat never made a D12
Hour long videos are my favorite. The property is looking great
definitely moves a lot of dirt. You always working. Good to stay busy. See you next video.
Chris it must be nice to be able to see ahead of time what all needs to be done and what it will look like when built, that is an awesome talent. Looking good.
Lmk l
Pretty professional. Like His work. Like the way he's showing the right way to build a good pond.
The pond dig is the best part of it all , So sweet , love it !!!!
Sure liked how you explained where and how you are putting the pond, where the grade is , the age of the old water area etc. never heard how it’s done, easy for you as I can tell by your work
Nice drone shot think I could definitely watch for 10 hours doing pond work. Great video!

Ponds are my fav and i love your surrounding areas.
Thank you for giving us your thoughts on the best way to layout this pond; much appreciated!
Chris it looks great, with the drone view I can really understand what you were talking about that morning! Good days work brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awwww, disappointed, not a single boot in sight, looking fantastic, looking bealy good 😂 nice job Chris & friend 👍
I retrieved them, lol. I did consider leaving, haha

enjoyed this very much. glad too see the pond started. thanks Chris. gonna be nice when done.

This is a great watch and learn video on ponds. What to look for, what not to do as in don't dig too deep. Plus a whole lot more.

Looks Dam*good Young Man!
Great job Chris 🇺🇲 another job well done 🇺🇲 I really enjoyed this video 🇺🇲 From Florence Alabama 🇺🇲
Very interesting to watch a pond get built correctly. The thought process and the engineering amazing.

Good afternoon Chris !
'I'm gonna have to fire the guy who did the root raking" lol
Still can't believe you can drive a dozer at that slope on the side of the pond! My hiney was puckered, and I'm watching safe in my recliner.

Up here in Michigan we have porous soil and unless you're lucky enough too find a vein of grey marl ,you have to put down a 3 to 5 mil liner, hence most of our ponds are small but deep or shallow with pond heaters to avoid freezing. If you're wealthy then a 2 or 3 acre liner is of no consequence.
That's the way to build a flat bottom pond without any garbage in an old one with stumps and stuff to snag fishing lines.
