    Never in my life would I have ever expected that I’d get such enjoyment watching someone i don’t even really know putting in ponds, dredging ponds, roads, house lots, and the countless other things we watch u do in your day to day 7 days a week, down to filing in a borrow pit and making it looks like it was never there !!! You’re the reason I watch UA-cam and still, by far, may favorite channel !!! Just wanted to say how much I/ we appreciate you Chris !! Thank you!! 😁

      I agree. I get into each episode. I have dodged flying mud. Even watch for snakes and I'm no where near.
      For me It's like being the guy in the cab though. 😊😊👍👍 Excellent channel.
      I just wish there was a playlist so I can go back and watch each one from start to finish a little easier.
      I have watch allot of them multiple times.
      CHRIS. Thank you for making these videos.

    I guess I don't understand. I know it's faster to dig a pit and haul out with a truck, but then here you are scraping and burning diesel to fill the pit. Wouldn't it be as efficient, if not more, to scrape the top layer off of a larger area, then remove a smaller cut and spread the scrapings back out at the end?
