    Chris...it needs to be said. People recognize your hand-eye skills with a machine and they are very good. I think your judgement and vision to see a solution are probably more important. Not everyone has that ability. I can tell you get a good sense of accomplishment when you see it all come together. Appreciate your videos and God Bless.

    Good that you didn't build up too much material around the base of the trees, can cause problems later on !
    Rich looking dirt, should be a boom on growing grass !
    Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

    I see you are gradually transitioning back to mud slowly. Dust, now moving mud, and next you will be back IN the mud!
    Nicely done.

    Don't understand why there's not more snakes where you're working as dry as it's been. I live on the edge of the woods in W. Alabama, been beating the copperheads away from the house for weeks now. They can smell the faucets. Been 100 for days, we need some rain!

  • @honkanen72
    @honkanen72 5 років тому

    Nothin is more irritating, that your job is been followed closely by owner or region enviroment inspector: first the excavator (Hitachi) had most of lubrication and hydraulicoil changed to biological. Then plan and walkaround the site with inspector (who almost destroyed ducknest by walking on it, when i took red streamer from machine to mark it. Had shout him to stop and back off from the nest). Then the job was only short dig in the creekchannel clearing it from silt and create more restingspots for fish. Duck came back to nesting.

    Is golf cart man the owner, and if yes, does he follow this channel? I'm thinking he was interested in watching the progress, as he was when the culvert went in. Looking forward to seeing the next stage of this job - will it really take two months to dry out?
