    Chris doesn't take any short cuts to get this dam work done to perfection. So many places and times that he could just "cover it up" and never look back. But he takes care of every detail to do it up right. The customer and those in the future will have the best for sure.

    Hi Chris, want you to know that I so appreciate you hanging in there. There are 570K or of us out here that look forward to your videos daily. Especially when we are feeling crappy and take off work for the day :). Seriously, really do enjoy your content. Thanks, hope this didn't last you too long.

    You're awesome, Chris, considering how crappy you feel. That pond job is turning out picture perfect and will be a place of enjoyment for many years. Big thumbs up.

    Ever feel like a mud magnet? Chris you’ve sure had more than your share with these last couple of projects, whew!! I love how this one is finalizing…looks fantastic & no matter what the customer paid you gave them double with your excellent work ethic & fine attention to details!! May you be feeling much better tomorrow!

    I sure hope that you don't have what I've had since last Monday. It is finally starting to clear up and I'm starting to feel better. I still have a bit of chest congestion but it's almost gone. Great job on this project as with all of them. I look forward to your videos everyday. This has been one of my favorites to watch from the beginning. You should put a marker on the waters edge to see how much the pond rises each day. ie a yardstick or something. Just a suggestion. Good luck and get to feeling better.

    The owner of this property is very fortunate to have such an abundance of good dirt to utilize at his disposal. That's a lot of money saved in hauling it to this site alone.
    Awesome job Chris, you literally moved mountains on this project.

    That dam should be solid with a 15 ton truck with 25 tons of dirt driving back and forth across it and the roller for good measure. It's probably the hardest dirt on the property.

Just think how great you will feel when this project and the muddy hole project is finished. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan

    Once I heard you talking, I had a feeling you were going to tough it out all day. The dam is coming along very nicely! This is turning into one of my favorite jobs you've done. I'm curious as to what your plan is for the field you've been getting your fill dirt from. Slope it off, or level it? No matter, as the owner should be tickled pink with the finished product.

    I must admit you sound a tad better today than last time. Sometimes you just have to get up and get moving whether you feel like it or not and then the body gets going and overall you feel better for it. My remedy is lemonade, heated up with a couple of spoonfuls of honey per mug. If you are stuffed up or your throat is sore it does make a difference! The sunshine probably helped you too . . . looking good and then some!
