    I really hope you never tire of posting on UA-cam. Pretty amazing that you've been sharing for 13 years and still give fresh content even if it's bitching about mud and smoke in the same breath.

    Wow, Chris, it's just amazing , the change you've made in that pond is dramatic. It's even more impressive that all the trees and brush ended up in that pit and you can't even tell where it is. Your work is so much more superior to other contractors I have seen and you car so much for the finished product. Hats off to you!

    4- 10 hr days / 1 man and machine? WoW! A beautiful transition and no comparison between the before and after Chris. 👍👍That's a fair bit of work in a short off /on time span, mostly in bad wet weather. You call it having a touch of OCD, I call it a man utilizing a grading bucket like a cake spatula and achieving spectacular landscaping results. No doubt in my mind , you're the best / tidiest operator I've ever seen. The property owners must be more than happy with the results as money well spent.
    Congrats again on the Excavator recovery.., in one month, now enjoying a whopping 7.3 million views!

    When the wind is coming from behind as the air flow around the machine a low pressure area is formed in front of the machine between it and the fire. The smoke is sucked into the low pressure area.

    Your video's provide a welcome relief from regular TV programing. Watching your video's is something I look forward to each day. I can honestly say that since I started watching your video's and UA-cam in general, I probably spend less than an hour a week on regular TV and that time is to watch the local news if I think there is anything worth watching.... Thank you for so many hours of totally enjoyable watching. A large bowl of buttered popcorn and a coke and I am set for the evening.... Thanks again.

    In one of your future videos could you explain what that little monitor on the right in front of you does? I’m assuming it’s a tilt display or gauge cluster of some sort? I think it would be interesting to learn about the machinery and it’s operation.

      It is a multifunction display. You can select what it shows from a menu. His common display is engine gauges, water temp, oil pressure, oil temp fuel level and such. But you can see the cameras on the sides/rear, or use it to adjust various things like pressures and port flow as well.

    Another very entertaining vid by Chris.
    This one was a fairly long series.
    No doubt some of it really drove Chris to the very edge of his patience.
    Especially the smoke and mud.
    We all know how mud is his number one nemesis.
    That property definitely quadrupled in value just cleaning up the pond and surrounding area.
    It's gonna be a beautiful place to live for sure.
    The field off to the left looks like the perfect place to build a baseball field.

    That brush is how we made our bush haul roads.Made a 18 to 20 foot wide mat.Then make the ditch line and use that material to top the brush mat.So once it was dry then it was gravelled.Some times the swamps would be half way up the tracks.We world set logs in front of our progress to walk on and built the road base with turned over stumps and limbs and knock over big poplar trees or any small trees we could find. Sometimes we made really fast and sometimes it took a while to go across the swamp.So I know what you mean by hating mud.

      From the trees' funeral pyre
      Best check your warnings

The only way to get them is to pick them up by hand. You always leave the ground as clean as possible. When you’re finished the job site always looks neat and well graded even when you’re dealing with mud. Great job and video as always.
