    Watching you be more delicate with a 50,000lb machine than I can be with a 5lb shovel is fascinating. You are a joy to watch, Chris. Thanks for sharing.

      @@shaneharrison9609 It may be easy to learn what the controls do and how to use them, but it is not easy to have the finesse he has. I don't know how to use an excavator, but I sure can tell if someone is having a hard time. I have watched others on YT and IRL. People who are considered experts and they don't have the control he has.

    I have done a fair amount field service work, the work you guys did on the truck was righteous, you did a really decent job of getting it back into service, excellent job of weld repair and grinding on the spherical big bore it should last a good long while for you. Going to be an interesting repair project on this dam, thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

    Another great project to undertake. Pretty setting. 220 security from the bugs. Bearing all fixed - Barney good to go. Tree trimming is not a fools game - some trees have a 'mind' of their own so it's good that you are always aware of that LetsDig18.

    The part I don't understand is why do they use virgin plastic to make them tubes . That would be a great place to mix in recycled plastic even if they make it thicker or a blend of virgin and recycled could be beneficial . For the drain pipes .

    And even have a small chainsaw.

    That overflow pipe should have had a purpose built plunge basin with 300-600lb foundation riprap lined for a 100' distance. Otherwise erosion will be out of control forever. But I'm sure your repairs will alleviate all of the pond's overflow problems.
