In spite of the high water and mud, you shaped up that pond quite well. Awesome.. and a win. The proverbial "silk purse" the way I view your accomplishment. Nice work.
The main thing I like is how you do qualify work just like it was your own property and that’s every job you do, you always give your best and that’s obvious! YOU RE THE MAN! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 That’s why I watch and wait for every video to come out, I want to tell you that your time with these videos is well appreciated Chris and thanks! 👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
16:37 Starting at this cut I would not be surprised just from the sounds, you could tell me what I'm looking at. The subtle changes of the sound of the pump. Blindfolded, you can tell me the position of the stick and boom. how much load they have on them at the time. Dress grading isen't stressful on the machine at all. Slinging underbrush isn't as predictable via sounds but gentle grading has a sound of its own. Great Work, Chris.
Been awhile since we seen you need more than a bit of glass cleaner. The 220 is pretty clean for the amount of slop you moved and the wind got ya in the Yanmar, so I say you did pretty good. 🚿
When you were slapping that mud on the bank near the dock on your time lapse I would swear you were using your hands....smooth, repetitive, no hesitation.....and it looks perfect!!!! Such a great operator. Love the time lapse....but if you continue to do that you'll have to make even longer videos to make up the time!! Lol You spoil us with the long videos but that's just ONE of the things I like about your channel...and everyday posts too!
I think the Timelapse is awesome, see all the progress and never miss a thing! I appreciate that Chris, you always do an immaculate job brother! PERFECT Thanks for sharing with us! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
Chris that’s gonna look so much better when that mud dries out and grass grows over it. Another fine job my friend so after you get the overflow and you are off to your next job. I hope it’s the Beally good Farms pond, that’s gonna be some good videos coming from there but anyway brother you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming my friend
You could cut the bottom out of a plastic barrel cut a 4" hole and bolt on a toilet flange with a threaded adapter to fit your siphon T. That way you can just bale a few scoops with your excavator. It would be a lot lighter than dragging the pump over messing with the hoses and all that. Pretty quick and easy.
Just said it a couple videos back, Man The Grading Bucket on your Big machine has changed the whole game for ya Chris !! In my opinion... looking back a couple years back when you , was having to try and do it with your Uncles machines , without the "Big Grading Bucket' Is just Night and Day difference in what you can do, and get done with it now !! Time is the name of the game, and that Big Grading Bucket saves you a lot of time .... I figured you would have a really big mess today with all that funky weather that came threw your way, must have just missed ya ?? Did get a bunch of water though from the pond filling up...Got it coming together Nice Chris !! Great as always Man !! Get the Mini a bath !! lolololol... And the Big one for that matter..lololl... HAve a Great Evening, and On too the Next !!
I am impressed with your ability to dredge blind like you were doing. Thx for the tome lapse…it’s great for times when you don’t need to explain anything but we still get to see the heavy lifting that happens. Much better than just a ta-da :moment where all the work happened off camera.
Chris, did you play in mud puddles when you were a kid also? You are an artist and can see how things should look when most can't! The pond is looking great. Maybe we should call you 'Mud Perfect'!
I bet that Beaver was watching you in the mini and thinking I must get me one. Nice save with the turtle bro. The edge of the pond is slicking up nicely. Safe travels
A dirty machine is kinda like a working man’s hands…..If he goes home with a clean shirt, pants and dish pan looking hands, I’d say the guy may have worked harder avoiding the work….lol… The pond is looking awesome Chris.
I have about a 3 acre pond that's all swampy around the edge. Never really thought about "fixing it" like you did here. Genius buddy. It's going to take me a while to get around it with my giant Bobcat E35 but now I have a new project and will only cost me a little fuel. You're too far from central VA to get me out if I get stuck so it'll only be as far as I can comfortably reach from the bank!
I am a fisherman and I kept telling you to leave that big bushy hardwood tree in the pond as good fish habitat but you like things neat so out it is going to come.
Good added touch to the edge. Snapper will survive. Now you have 2 machines to power wash. Did you not have any video of sleet and freeze from 2 days ago?
Hey Chris👋🏼 Great job!! Good to see “strawberry 🍓shortcake “ out in the field 😁 I bet you beat all the kids at making “mud pies”!😊 Nice work on the time lapse. Really puts it into perspective of all the movements you make in a day! 👍🏼👍🏼
Given what you are up against it's pretty darn amazing Chris. I had misgivings about this one a week or so back, and it came up with the goods for sure. As I said at the time, you just can't fully trust it to behave. Well played Sir. Be well.😉
Great work getting the majority of that mud out of the top area before all that rain. Your experience paid off. Keep doing what you're doing. It's great to watch. 🙂👍
If the level is an issue: i know people who had barges with a wire crane. They had to dig out canals to get it deep enough. They used an iron beam they towed behind the vessel to get the ground even
around around 9;40 would be a good joke to show what happenes to the machine when it is un attended,(the timelasp) of the last area just after the dock..that looks like the machine goes crazy and does the rest of the work by its self, it looked funny
My goodness that looks amazing! U can even work with mud and make it look manicured. The pond looks wonderful, am sure the landowner is very pleased! God's blessings and stay safe!!! So enjoyed the video, thank u!!!
Hey Chris.. I don't think people quite understand how overwhelming a project like this can be to a homeowner... Yes it cost a lot of money to have you come do this!! However.... Being able to come by one day and see how much progress you've made.... And then each and every time you're there it's exponentially better!! I'm sure there's hundreds of clients that would agree. It takes time but... There's very few people that could do what you do as well as you do it!!
Chris, Is it common for the mini Yanmar hydraulic pump to grunt/vibrate when using the boom or bucket? Sure sounds like it’s straining an awful lot even when it’s empty. BTW, Nice job on the pond repair, looking good! How’s ole Betty’s progress coming along (yea I know, so many hours to in a day).
Hello Chris. I‘ve been watching your videos for a long time, I‘m enthusiastic about your skills with the maschines. Althougt I have never sat in an excavator in my live, it is very interesting vor me. You‘ve been filming a lot of ponts lately, your favorite subject, as I‘ve read from you. This work seems to suit you too because the bank is exactly the same no matter what the original level was, wow. I notice the water is still very cloudy, is this normal or will it clear up over time? I know that the water from a pont is never clear, but here in the video, the water looks strange in the others too, not enough inflow? Best regards Bernhard Translate Google. In Deutsch😇 Hallo Christian. Seit langem schaue ich deine Video, bin Begeistert von deinem Können mit den Maschinen. Obschon ich noch nie in meinem Leben in einem Bagger gesessen bin, es ist für mich sehr interessant. In der letzten Zeit filmst Du viele Weiher, deine lieblings Arbeit, wie Du schreibst. Diese Arbeit scheint Dir auch besonders zu liegen, den das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, Top. Mir fällt das extrem trübe Wasser auf, wird das mit der Zeit klar? Oder Zuwenig Zulauf? Grüße
Well Chris you did a great job as usual and the machine is made to work with so I don’t believe a little mud will hurt and you will get it cleaned up in due time plus I’m sure that won’t be the last time it gets muddy right lol 😂
Awesome work Chris, man that stuff along the wood line is some goopy stuff, for what you had to work with, it turned out really nice, be easy as can be to mow during the summer time now, thanks for sharing awesome content Chris, 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
In the time-lapse I can see you getting pulled towards the pond. probably not a good feeling. I thought I would see snow on the ground but guess you missed it
You cruel person you - poor little snapper turtle! Hope the weather holds out to finish installing the overflow. No doubt about you -- you know your business. That's a slick job.
Little Strawberry Shortcake is definitely going to be in need of a bath. Especially when the wind gets all that mud dried on it. Great work and videos as always Chris!! Keep up the great work Boss
"... the only good thing about this is..." I was laughing my ass off waiting on that answer. You know its bad when you hear the multiple... "Oh Boys" I guess if it was easy a lot of people could do what Chris does.
Shows how much difference there will be to the pond - especially towards the head where all the swampy mess was. Saw the branches sticking out the water & thought "Chris' OCD won't let that tree stay" & next thing, you're dragging it out. 😄
My only guess is that he or she is using it as a safe haven for feeder fish to breed while they turn the rest of the pond into a bass/sport fish pond... dock would probably provide shade in summer. Protection from birds. Shallow, hot water being a no go for sport fish. Maybe..

The pond is looking great! The owner should be very pleased when you are done.
Looks like there is no end to the calm in that pond. I appreciate your sharing with us. Stay safe! C
Really looks good! It's amazing what a little definition to the pond banks does!
Hoped you and your uncle have a blessful year together my friend..
That was sooo cool. The clouds and trees and wind looked surreal.
In spite of the high water and mud, you shaped up that pond quite well. Awesome.. and a win.
The proverbial "silk purse" the way I view your accomplishment. Nice work.
Looking great that pond Chris.Well done Mr pond man lol 👍🏻
Gorgeous work Chris. Frozen slop headed this way Friday. Stay warm.
The time laps was the best part keep it up! Loving the channel from Texas
What a beautiful pond Chris awesome job 🏴
Very good music for when you sped things up just before the 9 minute mark.
Amazing what a little time and care does to the new design. Liking it. Love the time lapse!! It has its place.
The main thing I like is how you do qualify work just like it was your own property and that’s every job you do, you always give your best and that’s obvious! YOU RE THE MAN! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 That’s why I watch and wait for every video to come out, I want to tell you that your time with these videos is well appreciated Chris and thanks! 👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
Whoa, they must have gotten a heap of rain. Looks good though. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰
Wow! Chris you did an amazing job on this pond. What a transformation.
The time lapse portions really gives us the opportunity to see the magic you do with your machines. Excellent channel.

It's amazing how you can make a silk purse from a "sloppy" pig's ear!
Been awhile since we seen you need more than a bit of glass cleaner. The 220 is pretty clean for the amount of slop you moved and the wind got ya in the Yanmar, so I say you did pretty good. 🚿
Yeah that turtle was probably pissed 😆
Construction is so like farming .weather dependent. When you see a window just got to go for it .
Great as always 👍👍
Good job 👏👏
There he goes making the best of a bad situation, looks great.
Great video, love watching.
Great work, great content, love the time lapse. Thanks Chris
Nice job Chris. It has become apparent that between the weather and your other job, you aren't going to get too many Sundays off.
When you were slapping that mud on the bank near the dock on your time lapse I would swear you were using your hands....smooth, repetitive, no hesitation.....and it looks perfect!!!!

Good looking job sir! Slick and clean..👍
Chris has done another customer right by talking him into just a little bit more work that absolutely finishes the deal.
That mini is a great little machine
Chris, did you play in mud puddles when you were a kid also? You are an artist and can see how things should look when most can't! The pond is looking great. Maybe we should call you 'Mud Perfect'!
Hey Chris love the time laps keep an doing them
Yes!
While I laugh at that spelling, it's actually time lapse ;)
@@ke6gwf well done boy.
I bet that Beaver was watching you in the mini and thinking I must get me one. Nice save with the turtle bro. The edge of the pond is slicking up nicely. Safe travels
Things are coming together really enjoy the time lapses another masterpiece almost done keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching
A dirty machine is kinda like a working man’s hands…..If he goes home with a clean shirt, pants and dish pan looking hands, I’d say the guy may have worked harder avoiding the work….lol… The pond is looking awesome Chris.
You are truly a magician ! Congrats !
Well, that's your profession: handle with dirt AND water. Fix it! 😉
Great time lapse, nice touch.
I have about a 3 acre pond that's all swampy around the edge. Never really thought about "fixing it" like you did here. Genius buddy. It's going to take me a while to get around it with my giant Bobcat E35 but now I have a new project and will only cost me a little fuel.

This man does good work and he takes pride in what he does that's why his work looks so good great job keep up the good work
It looks great.
Question.
When you strip away all of that mud and such,, would it be possible to cause a leak in the pond?
I am a fisherman and I kept telling you to leave that big bushy hardwood tree in the pond as good fish habitat but you like things neat so out it is going to come.
That dam snapper was wondering wth just happened!
Much love from New York ❤️
Ahhhh, thanks for the turtle ❤️, He will get comfy soon enough and forget the Letsdig slumber awakening!
Good added touch to the edge. Snapper will survive. Now you have 2 machines to power wash. Did you not have any video of sleet and freeze from 2 days ago?
Hey Chris👋🏼 Great job!! Good to see “strawberry 🍓shortcake “ out in the field 😁 I bet you beat all the kids at making “mud pies”!😊 Nice work on the time lapse. Really puts it into perspective of all the movements you make in a day! 👍🏼👍🏼
Chris you could revolutionize concrete finishing with that mini 😅
Given what you are up against it's pretty darn amazing Chris. I had misgivings about this one a week or so back, and it came up with the goods for sure. As I said at the time, you just can't fully trust it to behave. Well played Sir. Be well.😉
Great work getting the majority of that mud out of the top area before all that rain. Your experience paid off. Keep doing what you're doing. It's great to watch. 🙂👍
Good one Chris 👍😎
If the level is an issue: i know people who had barges with a wire crane. They had to dig out canals to get it deep enough. They used an iron beam they towed behind the vessel to get the ground even
Chris, we received a lot of snow up here north of Asheville!
Heheh... going between the big excavator then switching to the mini... is probably like using tweezers :D
Be interesting to see the cleanup process after such a muddy job.
Hey Chris can you do a video in summer of this pond to see how it looks later?
It still looks good.
around around 9;40 would be a good joke to show what happenes to the machine when it is un attended,(the timelasp) of the last area just after the dock..that looks like the machine goes crazy and does the rest of the work by its self, it looked funny
My goodness that looks amazing! U can even work with mud and make it look manicured. The pond looks wonderful, am sure the landowner is very pleased! God's blessings and stay safe!!! So enjoyed the video, thank u!!!
90 degrees dries that crud right out
Hey Chris.. I don't think people quite understand how overwhelming a project like this can be to a homeowner... Yes it cost a lot of money to have you come do this!! However.... Being able to come by one day and see how much progress you've made.... And then each and every time you're there it's exponentially better!! I'm sure there's hundreds of clients that would agree. It takes time but... There's very few people that could do what you do as well as you do it!!
They say "you can't polish a turd" but you did an excellent job of it. Nice job.
One more day and the project will be done. Your handy work and attention to detail start the shine!
Nice house, expensive pond work being done and they leave that BUSTED ASS AWFUL dock?
The time lapse really gave a picture of the amount the machine slid toward the pond, while digging. A great video as always.
Chris,
Is it common for the mini Yanmar hydraulic pump to grunt/vibrate when using the boom or bucket? Sure sounds like it’s straining an awful lot even when it’s empty. BTW, Nice job on the pond repair, looking good! How’s ole Betty’s progress coming along (yea I know, so many hours to in a day).
Amazing transformation pond looks good!!! Would like to see how you jumped the the pipe to get over there on the mini

Hallo Christian.
Seit langem schaue ich deine Video, bin Begeistert von deinem Können mit den Maschinen.
Obschon ich noch nie in meinem Leben in einem Bagger gesessen bin, es ist für mich sehr interessant.
In der letzten Zeit filmst Du viele Weiher, deine lieblings Arbeit, wie Du schreibst.
Diese Arbeit scheint Dir auch besonders zu liegen, den das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, Top.
Mir fällt das extrem trübe Wasser auf, wird das mit der Zeit klar?
Oder Zuwenig Zulauf?

looking good
I would love to see how you (jumped) that PVC pipe! Thanks Chris!!
Well Chris you did a great job as usual and the machine is made to work with so I don’t believe a little mud will hurt and you will get it cleaned up in due time plus I’m sure that won’t be the last time it gets muddy right lol 😂
Awesome work Chris, man that stuff along the wood line is some goopy stuff, for what you had to work with, it turned out really nice, be easy as can be to mow during the summer time now, thanks for sharing awesome content Chris, 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Those time lapse segments exponentially increase the quality and entertainment value of your videos, Chris. Keep doing that!
Chris, amazing job considering you had to pull mud right out of the pond. Looks as good as the previous day working right on the bank. Good work sir.
In the time-lapse I can see you getting pulled towards the pond. probably not a good feeling. I thought I would see snow on the ground but guess you missed it
HELD my BREATH....the whole time the Yanmar worked that NARROW bank! 😳
Your MINI could have gotten a lot MUDDIER , Chris! 😉
Nice save on the 🐢 too. 👍
You cruel person you - poor little snapper turtle! Hope the weather holds out to finish installing the overflow. No doubt about you -- you know your business. That's a slick job.
"It is what it is I'll make it work". That's Chris's motto. Mad and dazed turtle. Yanmar did a good job.
That’s when you need a long reach excavator
Little Strawberry Shortcake is definitely going to be in need of a bath. Especially when the wind gets all that mud dried on it. Great work and videos as always Chris!! Keep up the great work Boss
"... the only good thing about this is..." I was laughing my ass off waiting on that answer.
You know its bad when you hear the multiple... "Oh Boys"
I guess if it was easy a lot of people could do what Chris does.
Looking good
Looking really nice now Chris extra mud and water sure did dampen ur day but u got her done nice job 😎👍👍
Chris have You ever Come back to Job next Day & Find can’t get to Excavator
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲 another great job well done 🇺🇲
The mud master work hard loks great
Your skills with heavy equipment is a pleasure to watch!
That shoreline looks great Chris, you always know your stuff brother “Pond Master “, nobody does it better!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
What do you think about mounting your go pro on your grade pole and then fasten it to the machine your running bet it would make some great footage
You got rain, we got snow! If it's that slick, will we get to see some excavator drifting? 😉
Shows how much difference there will be to the pond - especially towards the head where all the swampy mess was.
Saw the branches sticking out the water & thought "Chris' OCD won't let that tree stay" & next thing, you're dragging it out. 😄
Still trying to figure out why they want it so shallow around the dock end. You probably already explained it but I can’t remember. 😆
My only guess is that he or she is using it as a safe haven for feeder fish to breed while they turn the rest of the pond into a bass/sport fish pond... dock would probably provide shade in summer. Protection from birds. Shallow, hot water being a no go for sport fish. Maybe..
$ determines depth.
You should have put your dry weather request in a few days earlier! 😀😃🙂🙃
Nice job 👍
