Comrade make sure when you get in and out of your valvo barge you drop anchor. She's a nice vessel don't want her floating away now. Haha! DRINK MORE VODKAS few more weeks till nicer weather.
You usually don't post vids when you are extra frustrated with the job. I'm glad you did as it is interesting to see how you get around these problems (or deal with by going through it). Hopefully you see that we are happy to watch your frustrating vids as well as we can see what you are dealing with, most would likely be even more pissed off than you (you seem calm even when annoyed).
When I watch your videos , I keep moving my I-pad around left , right , up and down to help get in position to grab the next log or stump ... Lol.... Just trying to help where I can . Keep up the good work !
Jobs like that are carter builders I always say. It's been a wet one for sure this year. Doesn't seem like the sun ever shines to dry things out here. I believe I have grown gills to breath. You almost need a boot wash attached to the outside of the machine so you don't drag in 25 pounds every time you get in.
Chris, count ur blessings brother. We’re clearing a 2 acre house lot with a 10 Ton machine a little further south of you and have the same problem... I’d love to have a large x to clear with. Tks for the video.
hey at least its flat ground. I worked on a big clearing job last year with one of our deere 2454 forester hoes. All the topsoil turned to shit like that but there was only a foot of it then solid rock on the side of a mountain Went for a few puckering rides. Had to build roads with the branches and then hog fuel once we got the grinder in there. Was actually a pretty fun job
At least you have mud you can deal with. If its thawed here my backhoe sinks to the axles and if its frozen enough to drive on I don't think I'd get get the trees down or be able to dig the ditches I need. Just SOL for the winter I think.
first thing I wouldn't build there even if 300yds of fill were brought in, and heads up we are getting snow all week and the East coast is gonna get hammered from what the weather wonks are talking, sending it your way, get your floaty tracks on.
Chainsaw chaps= get to keeps legs and cleaner plants after sawing. Either way it's a win win situation. Not preaching or soap box but dang. I really enjoy your vids, keep up the good work.
Hey Chris have ever listened to yourself on the video, dear lord practically every sentence was Mr. Chris complaining about the rain, the mud and the trees, you need two weeks in Florida not just one. lol ! Cheers Chris !
Hope they are saving the trees you took down for piling for the house. Damn..., that's why I rather just stay home when it's muddy like that. Spend more time and money cleaning messes up. But if it's a hourly job I will hang out long as the money is good 😊
I've got an inkling that it isn't gonna dry out so well this summer, what with not having those trees to soak it up. I mean jeez, you've been dredging dryer stuff than that out of lakes, lol!
Apparently house lots don't have to pass a "Perk Test" in your area like we have to here in Ct. Just cover the whole lot in mud mats and build on top of that LOL
That was some crazy mud. How can they build there? Can't believe there is that much water on a building site. How well will the septic system work in that mud? City sewer will solve that I guess.
Our crew just finished a month long assignment here in Michigan, was supposed to only be a week or so but it turned out to be a shitshow like your dealing with. 6 acres to clear but once we broke through the top 2" of frozen ground our equipment sank in 10" of black mud that quickly became deeper as we moved around.
I really envy your cycle times. I've been doing the same all day today, bought an old Hyundai 210 figuring it would be the same money to pay someone to clear our land but this way I get to play with an oversized shovel. This thing is worn out though, slow as molasses. Takes forever to do anything and it walks so dang slow.
I too am enjoying this video of clearing land near the lake but I would enjoy it a whole lot more if I didn't have to hear all the complaints. Too much rain, too much mud, no place to cut the wood etc. If conditions aren't good enough to work please don't! I would work in any conditions untill I felt it was not worth it anymore. Hope this wasn't too severe.
I know this is an older video but they have been trying to build on the property down from me for years and the foundation has sunk 3 different times. Makes no sense to keep trying.
Tim Hottinger This is an example of what is happening all along the south east. So many people are moving here that they are selling less than desirable land and building, building, building. Then when the storms come, they wonder why all the flooding.
hi digger dont know about not getting stuck in that mud watch you dont dissapeir...looks like mud iv never seen before id be damed if i wouuld build my house on that stuff...
I've enjoyed this lake dredging video.
Me too
Congratulations on the success of the new merchandise unit of your business.

Ha ha ha😂 he needs to set crawdad traps to pull in the morning.
Port out Starboard home
HEEEELO Comrade! Kak dela? Ya pastavil adin like na tvoi comment

Hopefully it’ll be nice & sunny when you go to Florida. Give you a break from the mud ☀️
Looks like a good place for 500 loads of dry sand
Oh the sweet dry grind of DRY SAND!
What you did there, i saw it
Privet hedge. Birds spread that crap like crazy. That's why you see it in all the fence rows. They eat the seeds and then poop them out later.
Dredging and pushing down trees. Hell of a job. Good work Chris!
Finally getting rain in SoCal & loving it! Muddy but we're in shop & office. (Gonna be real cleaned up, lol.)
Today--you were hilarious-worth every minute, John B from Californy
Almost thought you were up here in NWPA, but we've got snow on top of our mud...lol. It's just crazy weather everywhere this winter. Have fun Chris.
Hi Chris it's a good thing you are getting out of there. With a lot of rain coming this weekend
I've used that log trick many times to smooth the mud like frosting a cake
Chris we just did a house lot just like that down here in Georgia. Started it week after Thanksgiving, we just finished it today. FEEL YOUR PAIN !!!!
Jobs like that are carter builders I always say. It's been a wet one for sure this year. Doesn't seem like the sun ever shines to dry things out here. I believe I have grown gills to breath. You almost need a boot wash attached to the outside of the machine so you don't drag in 25 pounds every time you get in.
Wouldn’t you want a house right here?!!! Had me laughing out loud.
Chris, count ur blessings brother. We’re clearing a 2 acre house lot with a 10 Ton machine a little further south of you and have the same problem... I’d love to have a large x to clear with. Tks for the video.
I watch your videos in the bed most nights. The sound of your machine puts me to sleep
Couple of curtain drains will take care of that, no problem. Good video.

Ok you win! You’re having a worse day than me lol! It’s wet here but it’s not a swamp! Good luck with that
Another 8 to 12 inches of snow forecasted for the weekend . Looks like you could get some after it rains👍
Brian Webber that’s not good!
Could it be that the trees pulling up the water were what kept the area relatively dry?
It looks like you may need to leave and tell them you will be back, when it's dry enough to work.
I feel your pain was on a job a few weeks ago that was the same way, sloppy, half frozen, just a plain mess. Keep up the great videos!
the pain and mud is REAL . Keep afloat Chris the spring rains are not far away :D
If I were building a house around there I think I'd want to come see the lot after it rain a Fk ton to see how wet the lot is lol
Thought this was Bobby Goodson's channel for a minute
first thing I wouldn't build there even if 300yds of fill were brought in, and heads up we are getting snow all week and the East coast is gonna get hammered from what the weather wonks are talking, sending it your way, get your floaty tracks on.
Very frustrating job his one, I can tell from your reaction. Try and stay positive and relax mate keep up the good work. Bloody wet weather. Peace!
Look at it this way you could be a laborer on someone else's crew. I remember standing in mud over my knees to get some culvert moved. Fun times!!!
The worst part is when you have to clean the tracks before you move to the next job. Like trying to shovel peanut butter!
Thought there for a minute you were going to call for your mats. Can't wait to see them put in a septic tank and lines. Bet it will perk right out!
should have brought some of your wood pads to keep from slipping and sliding in the mud ? nice job cleaning it up though!
Chainsaw chaps= get to keeps legs and cleaner plants after sawing. Either way it's a win win situation. Not preaching or soap box but dang. I really enjoy your vids, keep up the good work.
Mud bogging excavator lol sounds like fun love to videos chris keep up the awsome work
Going to take a bunch of fill. Hope there is city sewer in this area.
If they're going to build a house there when the ground dries out what about when it gets wet again is the house going to slide away?
Hey Chris have ever listened to yourself on the video, dear lord practically every sentence was Mr. Chris complaining about the rain, the mud and the trees, you need two weeks in Florida not just one. lol ! Cheers Chris !
wish you lived near me. driveway needs to be done bad!!! You do great work!!!
House lot right straight out O hell! I feel for ya Chris. Thanks for the video.
Nice Job!
I think you need pontoons instead of tracks on that machine.
Mamma said there would be days like these. Tighten up Bro.
Great video Chris thanks for sharing have a great day that place is a mud pit
Ready for more snow again? Storm track for this weekend has it going right over NC.
Hope they are saving the trees you took down for piling for the house. Damn..., that's why I rather just stay home when it's muddy like that. Spend more time and money cleaning messes up. But if it's a hourly job I will hang out long as the money is good 😊
You take a lot of trees in your work, but do you ever help plant new ones? Only curious.
You got mud we getting the snow in Ohio. Like the snow removal videos, maybe you get snow this weekend! Lol. Will be out playing in it. Great videos.
Rick Pyles I b from Columbus and yes we have the white stuff also
OMG, what a mess! I feel bad for you Buddy.
Is there a spring or something under that muddy spot? .That looks more like quick sand than mud . when you light the fire it will dry out though....
I've got an inkling that it isn't gonna dry out so well this summer, what with not having those trees to soak it up. I mean jeez, you've been dredging dryer stuff than that out of lakes, lol!
Apparently house lots don't have to pass a "Perk Test" in your area like we have to here in Ct. Just cover the whole lot in mud mats and build on top of that LOL
I would NEVER build a house on that ground - I don't even know if turtle back would help
Yeah, when a stump hits the ground and it makes WAVES, it's a little bit wet ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Ken Gamble beach front property comrade
@@JasonWorksAlot
You bet amigo ! 😊
..Much more playing in the water Chris will have webbed feet..lol...good vid..
You should offer mud in your merchandise. Ten years ago someone was selling snow to the people in texass.
Chris, it looked like the Volvo was dunking a giant oreo cookie at almost 32 minutes...that is some nasty stuff for sure.
I mean look at this!!, LOL that`s wet!! Looks like my yard!
They're building a castle. You already have the moat! Look out for the Gators!
Will this be a slab or P&B basement? Or pontoons?
Can't wait to see the six month follow up. 😂
Your close to be doing it the Goodson way. Use the trees you fell as a road 😎 Good luck with the fight
That was some crazy mud. How can they build there? Can't believe there is that much water on a building site. How well will the septic system work in that mud? City sewer will solve that I guess.
20:34 Yaupon tree,, i could be wrong but thats what it looks like. its every where here in Texas

Impressive skills to say the least
Oh that's self gradeing soil it's a joy to work
going back and watching some of your videos before i was a subscriber
Looks like the house lot needs to be dredged
I lost count how many times you said mud. I'm enjoying your videos
Perfect place to put a house.
Hopefully it will be a little dryer in 2019
2018 you either worked in the mud or worked in your shop
Be safe👍
looks like that lot needs a rim ditch to keep it dry. Bet they paid big money for that mud hole.
Be a bugger if they ask you back to dig out a basement, although could be dryer deep down.
A bad spot to build, but a big chunk of money will fix it
I really envy your cycle times. I've been doing the same all day today, bought an old Hyundai 210 figuring it would be the same money to pay someone to clear our land but this way I get to play with an oversized shovel. This thing is worn out though, slow as molasses. Takes forever to do anything and it walks so dang slow.
I hope ya'll ain't too allergic to poison ivy. Good job on the lot, I hope they put in some french drains and go overboard on waterproofing.
I felt your pain- but your comments kept making me giggle.
I too am enjoying this video of clearing land near the lake but I would enjoy it a whole lot more if I didn't have to hear all the complaints. Too much rain, too much mud, no place to cut the wood etc. If conditions aren't good enough to work please don't! I would work in any conditions untill I felt it was not worth it anymore.

Bobby Goodson would be proud of you!
Damn dude what a freaking mess, I would be screaming by 10 am.
Tell you the truth - I'm really looking forward to this job being over as much as you are. ;-D
That mud looks like the shit my house must’ve been built on lol it’s always wet in my basement and the sump pump never stops runnin
It makes a good fence till it takes over, i cut a acre with a 110 chainsaw and a cord lol!
Yeah that sloppy crap is going to need some serious drainage work done unless you want a swamp house.
I think I’lld pull the drain plug and go to Florida this week and let it drain
The official rain fall for Asheville was 77 inches for 2018
Did you find out what the problem is with the skid steer.
never seen a house lot that you should have brought your mats with you to work on.
You want to live in Dumfries Scotland it never stops raining. Most jobs or a muddy mess
They need to build that house on stilts like I see at the beach.
I know this is an older video but they have been trying to build on the property down from me for years and the foundation has sunk 3 different times. Makes no sense to keep trying.
Who would build a house in that swamp ?
Looks like future problems of settling to me.

This is an example of what is happening all along the south east. So many people are moving here that they are selling less than desirable land and building, building, building. Then when the storms come, they wonder why all the flooding.
enjoyed this debris mud-flow cleanup video
I wonder what folks do in the Pacific Northwest, does it get this wet?
Left a BIG like for ya Chris!
hi digger dont know about not getting stuck in that mud watch you dont dissapeir...looks like mud iv never seen before id be damed if i wouuld build my house on that stuff...
Better be parking a house boat on this lot! I can see a serious mold issue on this one. Good luck getting finish in this soup bowl!!
