Here's one for you. Around here if you clean a ditch or creek you can do anything you want with the dirt ,but if you clean a pond they consider it hazardous, got go to the dump.
We know what you mean about the weather change. Im in southeast texas and it was in the low 30's for two days and now its in the mid 50's today already. Happy new year chris and god bless
Hey Chris, if you ever get a chance I'm interested in how you make your mud mats. Pretty sure I know, but I've gotta make some for my mini soon. Thinking red or white oak and 3/4 all thread. Have my own mill and tree's so all thread would be only expense. It would make an interesting video!
I was just thinking Chris, that's some black sand there. Wonder if one were to pan some of that, if you might find some placer gold? I see NC has a lot of gold history! Happy New Year!
You guys are putting some miles on that skid steer. I guess it’s better that only half of them are loaded miles Most people try their best to not go up the creek
Oh did some asking 1 not feasible need a barge suction pump to start 2 manpower $$$$$$$$$$$$ 3 maintenance $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ pumps are expensive to upkeep 4 the second primadonna lol they are expensive legal fees and all lol
Happy New Year Chris,Tim,John !! Enjoyed watching all the work you guys have done this past year, Thank you Chris !! For sharing with us , and taking us along with you as you do your daily job. Have a Happy New Year in 2020 !! And can't wait to see what's to come ......Have a Great Evening !! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!
Notification at 12:01 New Years morning 2020, party temporarily suspended, let’s see what let’s dig 18 has uploaded Happy New Year from Bonnie Scotland 🏴🇬🇧
January of 2019, It popped up on a recommended video for me after the last dredge job with the steep bank and bicycles, skateboard and bat was pulled out
Man that is a LOT of sand. Must be a lot of watershed going into that pond. Holy cow is that someones house on top of the hill or a country club...........
Your pond jobs are not only entertaining but informative. Esp since i'm having a pons started within the next week or so. My questions...and advice on the water drain structure? And who makes your debris guards? Are they commercial made? thanks
Don't you think the community later will dump the sand back higher up in the creek to minimize erosion losses, Chris? :D Best to you all on a brand new 2020!
Happy New Year Chris thanks for all your videos. Check out this video of a vacuum truck, not a concrete pump, cleaning this pond. th-cam.com/video/4CeTqI8IagQT/w-d-xo.htmlhe only reason I suggest this it's for your own personal safety. If you have over 35% banking and slippery clay, you can put this system to work. Down here in South Florida a lot of the sand is not thick as yours was, but they use that power jet hose that the man is in the water with 2 induce the flow. You can park the truck 50 feet away from the shore and pump to a safer transfer site. You had me pull my hair out every time I saw you sliding down that bank. 1974 iroll the northwest cable backhoe down a 40-foot embankment. And I was carried out by the local fire department. Be safe play safe and keep moving that dirt.
Ill just be honest, I could have of had a entire dump truck loaded out with just the excavator and sent away in the time it took them to get a half a bucketfull
So I just had a pond dug and it's a disaster. I'm looking for something like the drainage system you fixed at the beginning. Is that something you would recommend or what would your thoughts be?
Hey I saw you in Greensboro yesterday with your truck and trailer right by my house. ! How long are you working in the area? Maybe I can meet up with you.
Did you ever own a loader dozer? Kinda like your skid steer on steroids. And no I’m not going to by you one. I have seen you doing a lot of bucket work for your dredging, wondered if a shovel dozer would work better.
This is how much sand has washed in since January!

Thank you for leaving the link other wise we wouldn't remember lol
Did we see you drive a dump truck???... Dam! Never a dull moment Chriss👍👍😀😀😀 like tgat one by the way!
Any update on the old irrigation pond you are using for clearing rubble & dross?
Think I've seen u do this one a few times and into the pond. Fore bay always looks so good once it's cleaned out !!
Bummer...no bicycles or scooters today... Happy New year 🎉
Here's one for you. Around here if you clean a ditch or creek you can do anything you want with the dirt ,but if you clean a pond they consider it hazardous, got go to the dump.
That dang "Wind"!! LOL
We know what you mean about the weather change. Im in southeast texas and it was in the low 30's for two days and now its in the mid 50's today already. Happy new year chris and god bless
Equipment for the new year...concrete pump for all the dredging jobs...lol. happy new year
Awesome little video for the end of 2019 bro. At least in this case the sands of time keep your bank cash flow healthy.
Hope you have a VERY Happy, Healthy, PROSPEROUS New Year!
That darn wind! LOL
Jeez! The pond looks like the meteor from "Creep Show" hit it! "Meteor shit!"
When Chris was younger, his folks said go out and play in the sandbox. And now he's a You tube sand box king. 🤴🤴🤴🤴

Good job !!!
I was just thinking Chris, that's some black sand there. Wonder if one were to pan some of that, if you might find some placer gold? I see NC has a lot of gold history! Happy New Year!
You fixed the leak, and a new dredging job , 2020 must be a good year Chris and all subs 👍👌⚠️
Ha ha, Chris really needed new mud mats for Christmas and nobody came through!
Happy new year of France Chris !!
A guid New Year to you and yours. From Scotland.
Wonder if you open that up would it help more
Happy New Year. Where do you dump all of the dirt you dig out of these ponds?
Happiest New year wishes to you. Love the videos.
Those mats done had a run in the mill or two
How could it fill in so fast? Where does it come from?
Just gotta wait for it to rain and fill back up now
Happy new year Chris from the 🇬🇧👍🏻
Happy new year tim
Happy New year.
Happy years team letsdig18
You guys are putting some miles on that skid steer. I guess it’s better that only half of them are loaded miles
Most people try their best to not go up the creek
❤❤❤
Oh did some asking
1 not feasible need a barge suction pump to start
2 manpower $$$$$$$$$$$$
3 maintenance $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ pumps are expensive to upkeep
4 the second primadonna lol they are expensive legal fees and all lol
The name of this channel should be let's dig a pond lol
Look at all that scum and algae that is one nasty pond.
I think all the cow manure caused that. Any algae in there will be fertilised by it causing it to bloom. 🇬🇧
First
What Chris isn’t telling us or the pond owners is that the sand he removes gets dumped a few miles upstream😉😁
Happy New Year!
Job security.
Said this in an earlier video. He didn't deny it...
You should name this sediment trap “Job Security Cove”
it really is
@@letsdig18 like in towing industry, there are "money pits". This could fit in that description.
On top of great videos, I think the troll comments of you need a dragline will be relaced with you need a mud pump in 2020.
Loved your videos in 2019 can't wait to see your videos in 2020
Just watched the original videos a couple of days ago. Awesome work. Thank you Chris for the great content. Happy New Year 2020
I really love the videos from this dredge job site. Perfect sand and perfect conditions for scooping it out. Have a happy new year Chris.
Chris, you make some darn good videos! I’ve been hooked sense back in the Daewoo days.
Happy New Year everyone. 👍 🇬🇧
Right back at ya Big Ben !!!
@@augustreil .. Happy Moo Year. Lol. 🐮
What Chris isn't saying is he is building himself some beach somewhere. Lol God bless
Just wondering , do you have to get permits to work in the creeks . Around here it takes a act of Congress to get even close to a waterway
not one this because im pretty much doing maintenance on a stormwater pond
Happy New Year Chris,Tim,John !! Enjoyed watching all the work you guys have done this past year, Thank you Chris !! For sharing with us , and taking us along with you as you do your daily job. Have a Happy New Year in 2020 !! And can't wait to see what's to come ......Have a Great Evening !! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!

Happy New Year from Bonnie Scotland 🏴🇬🇧
I actually remember this place from earlier. That's a real achievement for me!
Happy New Year to you!
And thanks!
Happy new year Chris .it's been great following you this year ! Can't wait to see what 2020 brings 😀 Have a great one!!! 🇨🇦 Craig
January of 2019, It popped up on a recommended video for me after the last dredge job with the steep bank and bicycles, skateboard and bat was pulled out
RK Harm24 we should refer to the bike/skateboard job as the “mud pump dredge” job
Man that is a LOT of sand. Must be a lot of watershed going into that pond. Holy cow is that someones house on top of the hill or a country club...........
Nice job👍 see ya in 20💪20
Happy new year everyone, well at least from Germany at the moment!!!!🎆🎇🎉
I think you need some new mats soon 😉
Remember this job well you had one hell of a sand mountain 😂 happy new year to you and the crew 😎👍👍
Man you do a lot of ponds but you sure good at it enjoyed watching have a great new year Chris
Your pond jobs are not only entertaining but informative. Esp since i'm having a pons started within the next week or so. My questions...and advice on the water drain structure? And who makes your debris guards? Are they commercial made? thanks
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 💗
Mrs. Elite Earthworks Hi! 😁
D C Hi! 😁
Don't you think the community later will dump the sand back higher up in the creek to minimize erosion losses, Chris? :D Best to you all on a brand new 2020!

Ill just be honest, I could have of had a entire dump truck loaded out with just the excavator and sent away in the time it took them to get a half a bucketfull
Yeah I just I know you push that dirt but I just get nervous seeing you slide that machine down the bank LOL keep going dude
please get some new mats Chris. :) new mats.... new mats... new mats....
time a mat building video
Have you considered a trash pump to vacuum the channel and sluice the sediment on the ground like you're doing with the excavator?
Have a Happy and health New Year to you and your family
So I just had a pond dug and it's a disaster. I'm looking for something like the drainage system you fixed at the beginning. Is that something you would recommend or what would your thoughts be?
Next time you clear some trees just remember your handy mud pads, they're getting old so you need to mill new ones.
Keep them coming
Happy New Year Chris!!! I'd love to have some of your chilly mornings. It was 3°F this morning with a high of 20°F today here in Jpaydirt country.
Wonder its “ SWAMP CREATURE “ in pond with nasty green web !
Top quality for top people HAPPY NEW YEAR CHRIS!!
I remember this one. Happy New Year to the Let’s Dig Crew. Thanks for the videos
“The wind did that”
TERRIBLE whine from the hydraulic pump
We used to use bentonite for drilling Lube with horizontal directional drilling it's awesome stuff
So... Chris... Are you up a creek without a paddle ??😂😂
Does the old saying up the creek without a paddle mean anything lol
What is the most most interesting critter you've dredged up with all your pond deepening?
hydraulic cement is beautiful. used it on my basement wall. it expands when it dries!
Well whatever creek is supplying all that sand wont be long before its a damn river
Happy New Year Chriss and crew. Happy New Year to all the followers here too!
This was that quicksand job that you did just under a year ago right?
Chris, do you guys make your own mud matts or do you buy them. If you make your own, that would be a good video
I buy them
Thanks for the reply, happy New year
@Letsdig18 - What size mats do you use for the 160??
When you are outside talking I can hear you fine and as soon as you get inside the machine I cannot hardly hear you at all
Just to let you know that if you do a lot of pond job you can put a hole on the bottom of the bucket and it will drain the water
yeah but I move enough wet concrete where it would pour out and make a mess
letsdig18 Flex seal!
With the right bid. This job is for your retirement. Every year.
Find any bicycles?
Hey I saw you in Greensboro yesterday with your truck and trailer right by my house.
! How long are you working in the area? Maybe I can meet up with you.
Finished up there yesterday
Dang. Maybe one day lol. I’ve been watching your vids for years. Always great content!
Happy New Year Chris keep up the good work.
happy new year,and hope in 2020 see more videos of you
Thanx for us pond poachers lol the fishies love yo too
Did you ever own a loader dozer? Kinda like your skid steer on steroids. And no I’m not going to by you one. I have seen you doing a lot of bucket work for your dredging, wondered if a shovel dozer would work better.
I think his grandpa used to own a 953 or 955 many many years ago he operated.
Do a supercut of just siphons please.
You might want to keep the front window closed
How are you holding the sticks?
Loves the videos Happy New Year.
You keep making it look easy. Happy New Year
At the first look I thought it had silted in quick.
I think it would be interesting to see the mats being built.
What do u do with all the sand u take out do u store it or take it away
