It’s crazy that you’ve been on this job for one day and it looks considerably better , all the cuts are pulled so much sharper and everything just looks more uniform. Chris , I know the bad weather hits you in the wallet but maybe you can take a day or two off and share a order of tater rounds with Winston?
Go figure that you and John have to fix some else’s mess . But the owner has the right crew on the job now . When y’all are it will be a master piece of course .
That is a pretty good sized house, I would bet when the pond is done and full and finished off ( slicked up) that the house/ pond combination is going to make that an awesome piece of property. I think this one would worth a revisit in a year or so. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Such a beautiful pond you are making Chris!! It's just amazing watching you move such massive amounts of dirt and plucking trees from the ground like weeds!! Stay safe and hopefully get some much deserved rest!
These projects always seem to be difficult to work. You really never what the other contractor did or thought. Time to fill up the ponds you did this year!! Stay safe.
Bealygood does a post or short most everything day. Well drilling started today. The conduit for the island is in and Goeff has started to plant trees. It's worth following their channel as well.
Chris I’m praying for all y’all to be safe during the hurricane🙏🙏🙏 Nice pond project with a beautiful home to overlook it when it’s perfectly completed by the dream team!!
I know it's frustrating for you to clean up other peoples messes and I'm sure the owners are frustrated too, but knowing how great it will be when you get finished will be awesome for you and the owner.
Owners sometime direct their frustration with the original contractor at the guy doing the cleanup. I found it helpful to sort that out in plain language before starting work.
Chris it doesn't take you long to clean the area and make it look like a pond. Spruce up the wooded areas and prepare the pond for a hurricane. And it looks really nice. Way to go. Praying for just some rain no hurricane.
Yeah so far south like Sarasota Port Charlotte Fort Myers they got whacked north of their Tampa Bay north we got so far we haven't only gotten you know rain and Squall lines come through but in our power still on so far it's not like Irma we didn't have no 50 ft trees go flying by the air or power out for 3 weeks but I'd say we got pretty close to 8 inches of rain and we're supposed to get anywhere from 15 to 24 in this area well we're sending it North through you guys you can spend some time with IAN. We've also heard there's five to six feet of water in Fort Myers town yeah Tampa Bay was drained mud flats the water got all pushed out again like the that one other hurricane it's a real odd thing to see
Yeah our power went off about an hour ago and are Transformer blew up so hopefully it's not 3 weeks this time to get our power back on at least it's cool out it's not that not that hot but later on the day since that storm pulls out the humidity and the heat will come back that'll be fun I hear people in Fort Myers the water came up almost three stories high where Tampa Bay and up here at Hudson the water left the high and dry out as far as you can see 40 ft depth water it's down to Mud now later on when the storm passes over by East Coast to water will come back but that's an odd thing I'll tell you almost like a tidal wave type of thing where the water goes out and then comes back in
Another mess by a previous contractor. Word of advise… if you don’t know what your doing then get someone that does to help you or don’t do it at all. Costing the customers more money because of your lack of knowledge/skill guarantees your customer basis will diminish. Wonder if this same person built the minnow pond
You are so much like my dad was, you can take a blank canvas and turn it in to a work of art. My dad was a artist 🎨 he painted landscapes and portraits. Keep up the great work that you are doing.
Don't ya hate having to come in behind someone that does shitty work, and leaves it a mess !! But, You and Unk john will get it fixed back to what it supposed to be, and done right !! Yeah, FL. is getting pretty slammed right now, sure hope and pray that the people in the way of the hurricane got out of there !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening Man, And, On too the Next...
That home owner has to be shaking his head going why did we wait so long. One day and these guys cleaned up a mess and they will have it done in no time. Can you imagine the mud holes and mosquitoes they have put up with for how long now??? Great day guys.
Chris if they want it done right call the best that would be you. Chris you and John have changed the looks of that pond 100% in only half a day great job 👏 great videos
It amazes me how you start with a complete mess and before long you end up with a plan and it beginning to look like something great 👍content nicely filmed thank you
Hey Chris, I've been watching a long time now. I moved to 200 acres earlier this year and I'm having 160 cleared. I've got a lot of white oak stumps to get rid of now and land to clear as the loggers don't exactly leave "cleared" land. What size excavator would you recommend? 200 or 300 or as much as I can afford? The pine stumps won't be an issue. It's the Oak stumps that are going to be a challenge. I appreciate any knowledge you can convey.
You will have plenty of time off after ian the hurricane drops a lot of rain on your area of north Carolina and the whole east coast from Florida to new Jersey region!! 🌦🌧⛈⛈🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧
That's gonna be a really nice pond for them to enjoy and fish once it's done a filled. The owner can walk out his backdoor go over and catch his dinner any old time he wants and swim with his kids other times. We've been getting his with feeder bands fron Ian since yesterday. Lots of wind, rain here just above the Florida Keys and some tornados up in Broward county. We'll make sure the Bealy Good pond gets lots of water to fill it up. Thanks Chris for the afternoon entertainment and good luck with the hurricane.
Great video. All the rain is going to be filling up all kinds of ponds and stuff , goodness 😳 . Was bound to happen sooner or later. Enjoyed watching 😎 👍.
Chris, I'm sure this job is going to look great as far as Ian it's going to be a Humdinger most of South Carolina is going to be wet 2 to 4 inches their calling for, anywhoo God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer
The difference between a master craftsman and journeyman can be seen without saying a word. I was embarrassed for your client at the unsophisticated mess left there before you showed up. Fine work sir. Be safe when that awful storm rears it’s head.
Where's John's 220 been? I have never seen you guys use the 250 this much! I know you said it needed pin work, just wondering if that led to something else.
When you ‘fix’ problems created by other ‘contractors’, how often are they jobs you had previously bid on but the customer chose to go with a lower bidder?
Watching this while waiting for my power to go out tonight as Ian moves very slowly across Florida. Glad you are so busy, but pretty sure we could put you to work down here next week and for a long time! However, sounds like the storm is going to just come to you, make a mess and give you a lot of work without leaving home! Stay safe, and I'll just enjoy watching you work!
@@victorhorace8467 Thank you. It was a devastating storm, I just got lucky. Lots of people need help, please keep them in your prayers and start praying for those still in the path of Ian. He's a nasty one and he will have a chance to refuel before he hits land again.
Question how would someone charge too fix someone else mistake on a pond like this one. charge them full price as a new pond or charge them only half the price since it’s halfway done?
As nice as a large pond of fresh water is WHY is so LITTLE put into the aesthetics . They always look anything but natural . Nothing but round or rectangular and usually void of any landscaping of trees (and irregular in shape) etc, Considering the base expense to JUST put in a hole with water WHY not spend 15-20% more and make it attractive/natural ??
I think that we need to keep in mind that residential landscaping is often done by the homeowner over time as a home improvement "hobby" and due to expense. I wouldn't know where to start on designing or figuring out where to plant what species of tree (how far from the shoreline) and more so what to do with the dam if grass wasn't acceptable (bush/shrub/ground cover). I do know that stuff down there is different and grows much faster than up here in Wisconsin (and then there's that damned Kudzu vine/weed that like to take over and kill everything) but imagine that it still takes years to look natural or "right". I agree on the initial shape of the ponds but "mimicking nature" is probably more expensive to construct (and maintain) due to the longer (linear feet, length) shoreline but yields a smaller (surface are) pond. Customer: "So it would cost me more and be smaller?😯🤔🙄"
You are right, what a mess. Total confidence that with ur expertise, u will have it designed and perfectly functional. Luv the house and landscape to come. Loved the video. Praying for all in way of the hurricane. May God bless u and keep u safe!!!
I'm near Daytona Beach, Florida. They are saying that I could get a foot of rain in the next 24 hours. That would fill all the ponds you built this year!
One day , perhaps in the winter when it is too wet to move dirt, it would be nice to see all the ponds you created in the last year or so in their finished state and full of water. Perhaps if you have recordings of the sites before work started it would be very interesting to see ' before and after'. Also to hear from you about soil/dirt qualities you require to make pond or lakes containment reasonably water tight and the grading of materials/dirt for berms, banks and pond/reservoir floors. Shortage of clay in some parts of the UK obliges farmers to use butyl sheeting to line artificial irrigation lakes in an area which may not have more that 12 ins of rain annually yet expects good yields from potatoes, sugar beet and some vegetables. Grain/cereal crops are seldom irrigated. Your drone sequences are marvellous for orientation of the larger sites.
It’s the tiny fine as hair roots that supply water and nutrients to the tree. These are mostly close to the surface. Smother them and the tree dies. The big deep roots are to anchor and support it.
It’s crazy that you’ve been on this job for one day and it looks considerably better , all the cuts are pulled so much sharper and everything just looks more uniform. Chris , I know the bad weather hits you in the wallet but maybe you can take a day or two off and share a order of tater rounds with Winston?
Another big job very dry you will maker great nice watch for the rain
Bealy pond should be filling if they get 6" of rain.
W dyi
@@assassinlexx1993 Which will, I’m sure greatly benefit the downstream neighbours!
@@assassinlexx1993 They could have some that we got. Nearly 10" from the storm with more possible.
can't wait to see how fast the Bealy Good pond fills up
any body can dig a big hole but only few can build a pond. nice start. cheers.
Go figure that you and John have to fix some else’s mess . But the owner has the right crew on the job now . When y’all are it will be a master piece of course .
Old Bealy good Is probably at home licking his chops knowing the amount of water he’s got coming his way this weekend😂
Can't belive I haven't been able to watch anything for a week now but I had a big operation last week LETSDIG18 IS STILL THE BEST ON TH-cam
Sure mate, and you too buddy 🙂
I hope your recovery goes well and your pain free. Watching Chris is the fix-all you'll be just fine after watching him do his magic
@@ryanhoward1013 your 100% correct
Even'n, Chris, everyone. Looks like a pond filling storm is coming up your way Chris, after it gets done making a huge mess in Florida.
That is a pretty good sized house, I would bet when the pond is done and full and finished off ( slicked up) that the house/ pond combination is going to make that an awesome piece of property. I think this one would worth a revisit in a year or so. Thanks for the ride along sir.
Such a beautiful pond you are making Chris!! It's just amazing watching you move such massive amounts of dirt and plucking trees from the ground like weeds!! Stay safe and hopefully get some much deserved rest!
How about you film some of that stormy weather for us? If nothing else a time laps with a view of an open field?
You are the Pond King. Owner is lucky to be able to get you and John to fix this and complete the project. Thanks for sharing.
Seems the majority of calls i get to fix other contractors mess actually turn out to be owner wasn't paying their bill so contractor stopped work.
These projects always seem to be difficult to work. You really never what the other contractor did or thought. Time to fill up the ponds you did this year!! Stay safe.
If there's a screwed up pond in your area, you know they're going to find you.... for good reason. Up side of the storm? Bealy's pond will get filled
after the rain comes through try and show an update on the Beally good pond to show how much it filled.
@ bob odell ooooh good idea!!
could go to his channel and catch it for sure
Bealygood does a post or short most everything day. Well drilling started today. The conduit for the island is in and Goeff has started to plant trees. It's worth following their channel as well.
Chris I’m praying for all y’all to be safe during the hurricane🙏🙏🙏
Nice pond project with a beautiful home to overlook it when it’s perfectly completed by the dream team!!
That hurricane should be big help filling up the Bealy Good 5 acre pond!!!
Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧.
Have no fear, the pond master is here.
Holy gosh, what a MESS! 😵🤕 Let's rescue letsdig18!💣
Nice looking job so far sir . Maybe the first guy should have watched Letsdig18’s How to build a pond videos !!
I suspect the first guy did and thought it would be easy after watching Chris do it lol
I’m impressed how well you operate your equipment
Perfect time having lunch and to watch a nice video
..i just fixed it now it won't start...lol...good job, keep safe..
Its definitely raining down here in Florida Chris, the storm is moving slowly 👍 got plenty of coldbeer tho 😎
Stay safe
You should check out the Bealy Good pond after the hurricane, that would be cool to see.
No you should go to The Bealy Good TH-cam channel and he’ll show you.
The site looks 100% better since you've been on the job great video thanks Chris and John
Thanks Chris!! God speed with the storm.
I love to watch you doing those excellent jobs Chris, you make it looks so easy but know you work very hard😎
Someone elses mess is one of the best pond sites i've seen on your channel. This will be amazing. Nice and deep and no pond dam.
It just amazes me at what you two can get done in a single day! Thanks for sharing Chris!
His Uncle has already spent at least 1 day clearing all the vegetation out of it they day before .
He wasn’t talking about his uncle.
This rain should put some water in the Bealy Goid pond!!
They’ve got the right crew on the job now. Thanks for sharing
The Bealy Good pond is going to get a nice drink over the weekend!
Be safe. Hurricane coming. Just don’t stop videos. I watch daily.
I know it's frustrating for you to clean up other peoples messes and I'm sure the owners are frustrated too, but knowing how great it will be when you get finished will be awesome for you and the owner.
Owners sometime direct their frustration with the original contractor at the guy doing the cleanup. I found it helpful to sort that out in plain language before starting work.
Cheap labor isn’t skilled, and Skilled labor isn’t Cheap. Doing it over costs more than doing it right the first time!
Chris it doesn't take you long to clean the area and make it look like a pond. Spruce up the wooded areas and prepare the pond for a hurricane. And it looks really nice. Way to go. Praying for just some rain no hurricane.

Nothing like a 250 Volvo and a big bucket loading trucks. I love running mine but I only have a 1.5 yd bucket but it still loads fast.
Another mess by a previous contractor. Word of advise… if you don’t know what your doing then get someone that does to help you or don’t do it at all. Costing the customers more money because of your lack of knowledge/skill guarantees your customer basis will diminish.
Wonder if this same person built the minnow pond
With a lot of rain, maybe the 5 acre pond will be filled.
You are so much like my dad was, you can take a blank canvas and turn it in to a work of art. My dad was a artist 🎨 he painted landscapes and portraits. Keep up the great work that you are doing.

Nothing can make a mess of a property faster than an incompetent operator on heavy equipment! I’ve seen lots of properties ruined from that!

with that hurricane you mentioned, I bet ya the Bealy Good pond is gonna start fillin’ in a hurry!
It won't help this job but at least the Bealy Good pond will get some water.
Looks like y’all be able to save another pond build,amazing how much you transformed it so far in such short time.kudos.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Can't believe how dry it is there!

Will we get to see a big fire during the hurricane!😀

Hi, is that a new camera you using when you start with the dozer? Just looked different from earlier videos
That's gonna be a really nice pond for them to enjoy and fish once it's done a filled.

GrandPa Guins must be proud you fellas can do the jobs like he wanted them done and the customers are satisfied.
Gee that looks like our local sodic soils. Would be setting of alarm bells here if I dug in to that for a dam.
Fair play a lot of trades won't touch something someone else messed up.
Is a mess always someone else mess ? I always enjoy watching your videos. Stay healthy and prosper !
Great video. All the rain is going to be filling up all kinds of ponds and stuff , goodness 😳 . Was bound to happen sooner or later. Enjoyed watching 😎 👍.

What a mess I'm sure once you're done it will look peachy 🍑 😊 😉
It would be awesome to see what that much rain does for Bealy’s pond, bet it puts a few feet worth in it 😎👍
Greetings Chris. Your haul truck and John's haul truck can move along of dirt. Just 1 extra person needed.
I am in Florida and the storm is just passing now, There is a lot of wind but not a lot of rain. You all will probably get four to six inches.

I like house. Lots of windows in the back. Wonder what the front looks like? Hmmmm…..
I hate to see people make a mess and leave. I also hate to pay for it. Reputable people are around, you just gotta find them.

The five acre pond might get filled quicker than anticipated. Hope you guys don't get any damage.
Bealy Good pond might enjoy 6 inches of rain I reckon
I still say a man , a machine , and the great outdoors is a good remedy for the sads.
That looks like some of dirt perfects pond digging before you got started 😆
Did the dumptruck already pay for itself? I see it in almost every video 😂😂😂
This is John's truck and probably paid for away back in time. :)

How do you & John feel about the tailgate on the truck overall - negative or positive?
My opinion is unimportant but my idea is that it’s better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it
no balloons on this project?
Yep a nice new pond should be interesting. You guys go in and clean up after everybody that screws up job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🌳🌲🌧️
Were ever you ride the storm out will you take video? Will keep you in our prayers for you and the people of that part of the country.
Can’t wait to see the hurricane try to fill up bealy pond
Thankfully no hurricane but looks like we are in for a good drenching on Saturday here in NZ. Anyway enjoyed this video guys. Safe travels bro
That place was one hell of a mess. I feel sorry for the property owners.

Sometimes others think they know what they are doing end end up in a huge mess - prime example. Will be lovely for owners when all done.
It’s the tiny fine as hair roots that supply water and nutrients to the tree. These are mostly close to the surface. Smother them and the tree dies. The big deep roots are to anchor and support it.
Looks good Chris 👍👍👍👍👍👍,lots to go.
