Chris, you got me into operating. I started operating last January, got my first job on a Ho last October been working like a mad man since. Thanks for everything you do, you’re an inspiration!
That run is a lot longer than the first half of this project. Going to be a real nice pond in a beautiful setting when you are done. Great work Chris. Thanks for sharing.
#615. Anything under the first 1K is an accomplishment these days with one of Chris's posts. I've made #1 twice so fat leaving other vids I was watching.
I found that interesting how your knowledge of the rock enabled you to use the thumb to break that seam of rock apart so you could use it for your own benefit
Brother, since I found your channel 1 1/2 years ago, I only had hope in ppl. But, with you , I have learned faith. It may not be in the LORD, buuut, IT IS IN A MAN THAT KNOWS HIS STUFF!!! Thank you. 🙏🙏😁
Ooh joy says Chris, more darn rock to chunk up and haul. Just when he thought that he'd never go thru that again. Luckily there was only one small are. I swea Chris in a machine the way he gets so much done in so little time it seems.
@@Manoffire260 clearly I knew what is was for. It's coming out of the ground where water will be. Some types of rock can be horrible for holding water. Why would I think it's for the dam, come on common sense especially when there not doing the dam or at least I believe he said that in the first video
@@jeffpalmer3560 this was much different than what he dug before, much bigger pieces and looked like a type of slate or something else that breaks semi easy. Basically a type of rock given enough time water can penetrate or even break the rock down further. That's great if it doesn't have any problems but it looked much different and quite a lot more.
I guess I'm a little weird I notice things out of the ordinary, but I must say all these other chaps are correct you are doing a hella job keep it going, I can hardly wait till the finish because your finishes are a culmination knowledge, wisdom and fine art. All your projects are masterpieces, I share the same commitment to quality in the window industry, kudos to you.
What a project, but coming together the way you said it would in the beginning. Just love the sound of that engine on the haul truck. :) Chris, I know it takes a lot of time to post these video's. Thank you for sharing them with us.
It’s crazy that you had to deal with all that mud one bucket at a time and now you are having to smash rocks at the other end. This site has it all! Looking forward to the finish.
That is going to be quite the home site when all is finished, hope you can give us a after complete tour of the entire compound. Something tells me five bucks a gallon gas is of little concern to this owner.🤑🤣
Hi from uk chris👋👍 hope alls well👍 and they say what a difference a day makes 24 little hours, makes all the difference without rainy showers. Got yi road and got your truck, on firm ground you wont get stuck. So dig it move it load it out, another pond in the making got fill it with carp and trout. Chris your magic at what you do, you make peoples visions come real and true👌💪 ps nice big rock you find as always 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Uh oh, starting to look like Rock Hill Animal Clinic. There is No mud in that temporary road fill. Quite some acreage to that place - looks like it would make a nice campground. Hope you can keep digging 'dry stuff' before spring rains or early tropical storm makes it muddy again.
Some of these people Chris works for around Raleigh, North Carolina have to be well heeled. These last two pond rehabs alone had to cost a pretty penny and now all of the work getting started at the Bealy farm.
Hi Chris Mark here just a txt too say that u are doing a fantastic job on that road to hall out the muck its a long drive from one side to the outside it looks like its going to b a fantastic pod when your finished
That rock reminded me of that new Veterinarian building site I think it was, the "Rock from Hell". You should do a revisit video on that so we all can see the progress. I would think they are close to completion by now.
If I was the owner I would trim all the woods from 10 feet and down along with weeds etc, would give it awesome look like on private golf courses and create nice areas for shady plants and sitting locations to look out over the water.
Who needs to order a load of Rock , when you can just make you own !! lolol... Always , always some kinda prep work to be done before you can ever do anything ya know it ?? lolol... But, that's going to make life much easier on ya, having made that road back there to where you can load . Man, coming back into the woods from the dumping site, you damn near are clipping the trees off with the truck !! lolol... Looks like it anyway, may not be that close ?? lolol... But, Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening , and , On too the Next...
don't mess with the 2 fitty it will break you up in little pieces if it has too ha ha, kind of an interesting whole in the ground up at the dump site ? made it easy for john , got alot done in 3 hrs
Watching these projects come and go, I really think I missed my calling. I ought to recertify on the forklift and find a remote scrapyard gig to coast to the grave. Just to get the hell out of this suburban traffic nightmare. I don't think I have it in me to keep at it another 20 years.
Now that looks like it's going to be a heck of a little compound. What are they building way back by the dump site. Only thing I saw was concrete flats poured. Garage?
So, I'm in school studying geology. I see you dig all the time and would love to be able to dig like you are able. Do you ever find anything like artifacts of mineral? Love the videos, I enjoy seeing what you are digging. Thanks
WOW, Chris, did we actually see some... DUST instead of GOO on this job?! What a milestone!! I'm finally seeing your overall planning for this job. I wondered, as I watched the video, why didn't you wait until now to start it and use a dozer. I think I answered my own question... if you'd Not done what you did earlier to remove the GOO, it wouldn't look like it does today. "Carry on, McDuff... I'm learning as you progress".................
Chris I was mowing the yard and got to thinking about Betty's oil production problem , and how guys were saying it was a vent issue on the tank . When you were first working on her down at Charlie's shop , didn't you do some work on the tanks ? Didn't Charlie weld in a pipe nipple and a cap ? I know it's been a while , but if you don't have to pull an engine or torque converter , and all it takes is a small hole drilled in a cap to vent things ..,. anyway back to the yard .
Looks like you found some NH soil (rock with a touch of dirt) my poor 140blc just burnt thru 1/3 of the brand new Volvo bucket teeth on 1 foundation hole!
Seems like it would be more efficient if you had both trucks hauling on that long haul. Time you loaded one next one would show up... nobody’s waiting.
Man what a job , every once in a while the building projects show in the background and everything looks like big bucks.
Chris, you got me into operating. I started operating last January, got my first job on a Ho last October been working like a mad man since. Thanks for everything you do, you’re an inspiration!

Made it 1st, heck yeah. Great job sir truly appreciate your work an the time yo take to allow us all to follow along. Have a great day

made it first to comment on your comment...
You guys really need to get a life
😆
@@mula2626 Yeah! I find these "being first" comment so darn stupid that I troll them a bit...
I found that interesting how your knowledge of the rock enabled you to use the thumb to break that seam of rock apart so you could use it for your own benefit
Should be a lot easier loading this mud out than the previous time. Glad to see the moisture is holding off. Enjoyed!!
👍🙂 that was a refreshing drive though the woods.
THANK YOU!

Like the efficiency, little extra time spent prepping for the haul saves oh so much more in the long run. Thanks for the ride along.
A job with a scenic drive from one side to the other 😊
That will be a nice-looking pond when you're done and it's filled, Chris!
Ooh joy says Chris, more darn rock to chunk up and haul.
Just when he thought that he'd never go thru that again.
Luckily there was only one small are.
I swea Chris in a machine the way he gets so much done in so little time it seems.
Good thinking - working smarter not harder. Mud pile drying out - amazing change from 'goop'. Lovely to see Spring has well and truly arrived.
Load it up haul it out. Life goes on. Nice job Chris.
I enjoy watching you clear trees . Everything looks so nice when you get done. God bless and be safe.
Chris when you finish that pond it will have million-dollar view, take care my friend stay safe and God bless.
Once again another small project that is starting to take shape. Great job young man
just gettin' ready to play in the mud...lol...good one, keep safe...
Nice one Cris, Good work there. Road building is interesting BUT i could sense that you were "aching" to get back into that mud, lol. Stay safe.
I hope that rock won't become a problem with holding water, love these big jobs.
The rock is for a haul road to get the mud out. It’s not part of a dam structure.
@@Manoffire260 clearly I knew what is was for. It's coming out of the ground where water will be. Some types of rock can be horrible for holding water. Why would I think it's for the dam, come on common sense especially when there not doing the dam or at least I believe he said that in the first video
@@chosen1one930 The “rocky clay” area (as Chris called it) was already holding water no reported issues.
@@jeffpalmer3560 this was much different than what he dug before, much bigger pieces and looked like a type of slate or something else that breaks semi easy. Basically a type of rock given enough time water can penetrate or even break the rock down further. That's great if it doesn't have any problems but it looked much different and quite a lot more.
Really enjoyed that. Some good old trucking. Thank you.
Looking forward to seeing the pond cleaned up 👍👍👍👍

Chris, I know it takes a lot of time to post these video's. Thank you for sharing them with us.
I love that haul truck sound too! Just certain trucks have that sound.☺️
Nice little drive though the forest
Nice work as always Chris. Also Logger Wade would be proud of the hall road
It’s crazy that you had to deal with all that mud one bucket at a time and now you are having to smash rocks at the other end. This site has it all! Looking forward to the finish.
Love your channel very informative and fun to watch , keep up the great work ,stay safe .
That is going to be quite the home site when all is finished, hope you can give us a after complete tour of the entire compound. Something tells me five bucks a gallon gas is of little concern to this owner.🤑🤣
I don't think it's a single owner but kind of community HOA lot. But still a major make over of the pond. Impressive.
Don't you just love the sounds of the dump truck, and how much the whole operation is coming about, weather is perfect the mud is drying out, 💪👀👍.
That's going to be nice when you finish thanks for the video I like keeping up with your projects

Holy shades of the Vet hospital Batman. Is that rock easier then the vet hospital? What a beautiful day. Thank you and have a great day.

Always something interesting. Like all I have seen
Love the sound of that A30D!
Some of these people Chris works for around Raleigh, North Carolina have to be well heeled.
These last two pond rehabs alone had to cost a pretty penny and now all of the work getting started at the Bealy farm.
It's what rich folk do with their money. They give it to folks like Chris for work.
We need a job like this ! A little escape from the concrete jungle would be nice haha
Great video 👍 👍
Shur has dried up , love that big bucket
That is perfect road material 👌 top content as always mate 👍
Hi Chris Mark here just a txt too say that u are doing a fantastic job on that road to hall out the muck its a long drive from one side to the outside it looks like its going to b a fantastic pod when your finished
Love the video Chris .
That was a good bit of work for 3-1/2 hours!
Excellent job it’s the temporary road, should make things easier loading the truck. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰

Ready to roll know.Cant wait to see it progress
Quite the drive through the woods. Looked nice though.

This is the one pond project I'd love to see once it'd finished and filled up
Cool Vid Chris! can't wait to see how this one turns out!
All of your vids just show how it's done professionally.... period
Brings back such happy memories for you of the animal hospital site breaking all the rocks I'm sure 🤣 lol
Joking aside though thanks for giving me something nice to watch on my lunch break
Holy mountains of mud! That's a long drive to dump now! Hopefully it won't slow you down to much??!! Take Care, Jim
That haul road looks like it will hold up bro so should be one thing less to worry about with this project. Safe travels
First time I have seen that rock in your area Chris, ironically a great find as everything was just mud and more mud,
Whole Lotta building going on I see!
don't mess with the 2 fitty it will break you up in little pieces if it has too ha ha, kind of an interesting whole in the ground up at the dump site ? made it easy for john , got alot done in 3 hrs
Let’s go with the diggin’
You could write a Book on Time Management because you’re obviously a Pro at Juggling your Time. 👍
Hey, you found a rock! 😀😃 Or two, three,... 😀😃
Brought back memories of the animal hospital.
Good job Chris 👍🏻
Breaking big rocks into little rocks, nice work inmate Chris. :)
These rocks are a lot different than the Vet Clinic you worked on months back.
Watching these projects come and go, I really think I missed my calling. I ought to recertify on the forklift and find a remote scrapyard gig to coast to the grave. Just to get the hell out of this suburban traffic nightmare. I don't think I have it in me to keep at it another 20 years.
Me too. Sounds like a good plan.👵
Pretty long trip through those woods.
Now that looks like it's going to be a heck of a little compound. What are they building way back by the dump site. Only thing I saw was concrete flats poured. Garage?
So, I'm in school studying geology. I see you dig all the time and would love to be able to dig like you are able. Do you ever find anything like artifacts of mineral? Love the videos, I enjoy seeing what you are digging. Thanks

I didn’t realize how far you had to haul out the mud!
That's quite the trip, I was expecting it would be closer almost next to the house.
I'm enjoying the 250...nice big buckets.
It looks like the old swamp has dried up a little bit
I need to come down and work with you for a few days Chris. Love the content
250: "Vein of rock? No problem. By the power of Volvo... I AM THE POWER!" (step aside He-Man)
5:00 Chris finally finds solid rock.. rips it up on princle 😝
The 250 sure eats the material. The 220 does to with Chris at the controls. Looking good for sure.
One of my friends used to rright a column for a local magazine titled "Two stones for each dirt".
Looking forward to more of this😁👌🏻🦌
Are you going to have to take the 250 up to the dump yard and transfer some of that stuff back to make more room?
Well Chris you've got "Betty, Barney and now Bedrock" Congrats!
Always thinking 💯💯
Chris I was mowing the yard and got to thinking about Betty's oil production problem , and how guys were saying it was a vent issue on the tank . When you were first working on her down at Charlie's shop , didn't you do some work on the tanks ? Didn't Charlie weld in a pipe nipple and a cap ? I know it's been a while , but if you don't have to pull an engine or torque converter , and all it takes is a small hole drilled in a cap to vent things ..,. anyway back to the yard .
Was that in the fuel tank so it could be drained from time to time?
@@sharonmiller6436 it could have been , like I said I had been mowing the yard , so I might be suffering from shaken brain cells .
Might need some new teeth after this job ... glad you do your own dental work 🤣🤣🤣
It's still wet, but it's gotten a little drier, hasn't it?
Yay mud! 😀😃🙂🙃
Wow, they haven't even finished building the house yet, and they already have a canoe ready to go on the pond!
really amazing 😮
Looks like you found some NH soil (rock with a touch of dirt) my poor 140blc just burnt thru 1/3 of the brand new Volvo bucket teeth on 1 foundation hole!
Damn I wish I had some in rocks and clay at my prep property
I think that I may know the answer but do you prefer the dry soil or the muddy soil when you are doing a job like this.
Top Video 👍
Seems like it would be more efficient if you had both trucks hauling on that long haul. Time you loaded one next one would show up... nobody’s waiting.
With the way they're building up the land by the house, I hope they pay attention to drainage. Sorry couldn't finish this till late
The extra oomph of the 250 helps with that rock
Wow dont see you dig rock very often...make it look easy!
