    What I love about your work is that you don't really have a 'good enough'. You want your projects to look like how you would want them done for you and I think that's one reason why you have so many repeat customers. You are fair, honest, practical. Thank you for sharing with us, Chris.

    I admire your ability to go from one machine to another and be proficient with what ever machine you get into, I know it comes from years of operating different machines, but the thing I think puts you over the top is your love of what you are doing. Your drive finished out nicely and thank you for the update sir.

    It always amazes me when I watch you work. Putting in a long driveway is much more than just putting gravel in. You have to engineer the right depth and also make provision for rainwater run off. There's a hell lot more than just diggin' and spreading gravel. Nice Job.

    Seeing your skid steer reminds me that I didn't thank you for the offer of your old tracks . Thank you for the offer. If you have friends in your area looking to unload some rubber tracks, (any kind) it would really be worth the gas and time to make the trip. Thanks again. Love your videos. Got my sons, hubby and grandson watching now.😊

    Thanks Chris for the music you played during the time lapse part.
    I like that particular song.
    Much better than most time lapse music out there others use.
    Mr. Duck Mafia victim Geoff Bealy Good has some really good music he uses as well.
    Must have been your influance.
    I also for some weird reason like listening to the mini running.
    Definitely a nice ditch you dug.

    I like the hole balloon deal. Just seeing you dig the ditch shows how professional you are. Looks so good and you get it done fast. The drive way as well. Chris i watch a lot of you tube doing what you do but they are not as good as you. Not even close. Man ive seen the way some people run there machines and it takes them a week to do what you do in a couple of days and there finish job looks like crap. Your jobs always looks from start to finish so planned out and so well executed. Amazing jobs my friend. you amazing work on any job abd the attention to detail is why you are the you tube genius. Im so dumb i had to google how to spell genius.

      Chris does create playlists of videos for his recent big jobs. He didn't do it for this *"9 acre clearing"* though. There's about 20 videos for this project. I could make a playlist for that if you like. The first was *"Starting The First Job With The New Machine"* that Chris posted back on 1 Nov 2022. ua-cam.com/video/glJMUPJioAQ/v-deo.html .
