"Ya didn't know you were coming with Mike Rowe today, did'ya...." Chris, THAT was a "Kodak moment," especially when you followed it with... "Are you ready for lunch?" All you needed to find, after lifting the top of that septic tank - was a body inside! Was that your boy operating the Volvo for the first time? Like I always told my flight students when they couldn't fly the plane with the relaxed skill I demonstrated; you can't have 100 hours in your logbook until you've entered ten hours, ten times. GREAT video, Mon Ami....
The guest appearance was really good to see. It shows how Chris is Butter-Smooth. There obviously is the familiarity Chris has with his machine which is ever so pleasing to watch. And giving the young-guns a taste in a big-boy and helping them along the way is a testament to Chris' personality.
These younger generations needs more people like Chris who is willing to teach someone a trade that will opens the door to where they can go anywhere in the world to use what they have learned. There's more to life than wanting play professional sports or acting or even some type of rapper to where you can have it all one day and the next it's all gone.
Correct, in my eyes you are not a senior operator / driver until you are willing and able to show the rookies how things should be done and what the tricks and catches of the job are. There is nothing worse than an experienced yet arrogant guy who just picks holes in everyone else but never shows anyone a damn thing.
I fully agree. I'm 30 and have been operating equipment about 10 years now. I've self taught most of it but you don't really learn the right way to do things. The old hats at work that gave me the opportunity to "git on in there boy and run this thing a minute. Lemme show you how it works" are who I owe it all to. Channels like this are so beneficial too because seeing so many ways to do the same task helps tremendously. Trades should be taught more than emphasizing on college prep
I have no idea who that kid was operating your Volvo excavator. I like his style. When he picked the large slab with the bucket and thumb and split it, he realized immediately that things didn't go the way he anticipated. Upon a second try he aced it. Gathering the kid is attending a tech school. He has potential, with learning from a a great operator, Chris!
Fun to watch Aaron in the machine. Next time would like to see some ‘Chris style commentary’ out of him. Love what Aaron is doing and how well his team shines light on many in the construction world. Love the collaboration!
Wow dang you really do appreciate the operation Chris does on this machine when guest appearance was in charge didn’t look as smooth. Makes me realise how incredible Chris is with his operation skills
Pretty area - open fields and big trees. Hope the owners can make new and happy memories. Noticed the two trees at the front of the house were left - respectful demo Chris. Great job.
was wondering if they were going to put up a new house with the removal of the septic. and you said they are. thanks again for showing us another job Chris. you and John stay safe.
Aaron sure has got a lot better! He came out to a big mining job we were on in Cali for turner mining group and ran one of our 374’s. Definitely a great dude!!
As always Chris, just a beautiful job with tearing down the old farmhouse and clearing the trees and all the other debris. The lot looks great. Your special guest on the excavator did a nice job. But the cream of skill always rises to the top. Thank you for sharing with your friends out here in you tube land.
Give the kid a break. Any operator who jumps into the seat of a different machine will take a while to get smooth on the controls. Any experienced operator knows that.
Always double check your tank before removing. You don't want to find out in the moment that they lied to you about the septic tank being pumped before removal.
Ooh joy, a Chris Letsdig18 video I musta missed. That's pretty much impossible but those things happen occasionally. That young buck in Chris's seat looked like he couldn't even shave yet and has a long ways to go before he'll have Chris's touch on the controls. Makes ya appreciate how unbelievably talented Chris is at his profession.
awesome job chris, that looks like its licked clean too,the kid was having fun on your excavator,he,s learning fast when he,s been shown the ropes from you chris , nice one.i hope their new house wont be as bad as their old house, in their case i wouldnt put any basement underneath the house like the old one.nice job on the driveway too plus it didnt get windy durring the demo.nice video
Chris you make it look so easy but we can see it isn't. Can't believe you let a novice use your machine. If the person that poured the last wall you removed had done the entire foundation this house would be there until the end of time. Lot looks amazing.
The young man did well. Good on you, Chris, to mentor the next-generation! 👍 The comparison reveals the TIMING and FINESSE needed for the SMOOTH operation of an excavator. 🤯 Watching YOU makes it look EASY for us armchair operators....it AIN'T! 😉
They appear to be building a new house on the lot, hence the need to remove everything. Last thing you want is crap buried under a house that's just been demolished because of a dodgy foundation!
Some ijit actually did this in a subdivision nearby, and built a house ON the DUMP SITE! After two homeowners bought and sold the property within 2 years, because of basement floor leaks and cracked foundation, the property was condemned. But someone came along, bought it, and before he was there very long, i knocked on the door and asked if he knew about the foundation issues. He had not. So i filled him in, and he was able to get his money back. Then someone else came along, and i told them about it, and he spent a LOT of money, got the foundations fixed as well as he could, and is still living there 5 years later. The original developer had dug a hole(and it was a low spot for that 30 acres) and put all the tree stumps in it from building the rest of the lots. We watched him do it. This was the last lot,and he put a house on it!
I saw a 200 on a truck today so now I have an idea of how big these things are. there is such a difference in all the sizes from the 28 inch wide ones that fit through doors to that 8 1/2 yard bucked one he ran in that video at the Volvo place.
Chris makes the whole operation seem so simple and smooth with precise actions every move. Its only when you see the "young lion" at the "helm" that you realise just how skilled Chris is!! Well of course we all know that !!!!!!! lol !!!!!!!!!
It is really satisfying to watch someone handle machines with such precision and efficiency and that is why I keep watching your vids and shut off others. "Just another excavator video" doesn't fit the bill at all. Great stuff Chris!!!
That was buildwitt which is a media company focusing on the construction industry or as he calls it the dirt world. Aaron owns the company and If you have IG you can check more of it out there.
Hey Chris !! Aaron did learn well with running your machines !! What school did they come from ?? Anyhows,, another hits the dust with this project !! Have a good week & thanks again !!🤠😎😏👍👍
You dug that pipe out of the ground like you've done it before. Lol. That new track loader would've come in handy loading that concrete into that truck.
The video to show day 2 from house demolition. Concrete must to to break up and too the pipe. You to let a young man with the Volvo something worken, you but near with the Dozer. The Boy however is to fascinate to see how you work. The concrete at to cut is heavy must to be for transportation. The place is clean you have make a very careful job. 👍
Letting vehicles pass before extending the bucket to the road keeps from freaking out drivers, nice to see a courteous human being while doing their job. Thank you for setting the example.
@@Blazer02LS Yup, they insist on "scripts" and "tension points" that are phony as hell. Artificial drama is required in their world even if the viewers hate it.
Just sitting here thinking, come on chris where’s the video? Open TH-cam and boom perfect timing 🤣. Run equipment all day to watch someone else run equipment. It’s just a life style I guess.
Erik I'm the same way. My girlfriend says I'll be watching it and she'said my hands moves like when Chris is moving and digging I'm like digging with them like a video game she say work 10 he to come home and watch let'sdig 18 and dirt perfect and logger Wade lol

⬆️ the biggest problem is find those youngin's that are willing to do hands-on learning. Not just button pushers.🤦
Duane Ayers - You are spot on. Learning, and mastering a trade is invaluable. Those skills are globally marketable.
I fully agree. I'm 30 and have been operating equipment about 10 years now. I've self taught most of it but you don't really learn the right way to do things.

That's Aaron Witt from Buildwitt...he owns a multimillion dollar marketing company that specializes in the construction industry.
Fun to watch Aaron in the machine. Next time would like to see some ‘Chris style commentary’ out of him. Love what Aaron is doing and how well his team shines light on many in the construction world. Love the collaboration!
After the videos with the 220 and the 250 the 160 looks like a desk ornament!
Wow dang you really do appreciate the operation Chris does on this machine when guest appearance was in charge didn’t look as smooth. Makes me realise how incredible Chris is with his operation skills
I'll bet that 17 year-old Chris would have called this a Good Performance
The quest is one of those brute force operators ... Hasn't learned how to use the thumb correctly also.
Makes you realize just how good Chris is
I had and used a Class A license for 30 years. I am very small and feminine. Pushed the doors open in many fields of work.🐉
That's the difference that 15 years of experience makes, though.
Pretty area - open fields and big trees. Hope the owners can make new and happy memories. Noticed the two trees at the front of the house were left - respectful demo Chris. Great job.

We need an UPDATED photo of the former pond being filled in. I had forgotten about it until you said something.
I leave your videos on in front of my 6 month old while I'm doing house chores. Loves it
Aaron sure has got a lot better! He came out to a big mining job we were on in Cali for turner mining group and ran one of our 374’s. Definitely a great dude!!
Well it is nice to see Chris elevating other operators in his field in there TH-cam channel. Very cool. Wish them success!!!
That guys channel is BuildWitt you should check him out, he goes around to different sites around the country and checks them out
@@bradensmith2413 - Thanks for the info!!
Great job! Glad you saved the crepe myrtles. Ready for new memories.
Chris great job, the finished lot looks beautiful, they can build a nice house there! Thanks for sharing. Kevin

But the cream of skill always rises to the top. Thank you for sharing with your friends out here in you tube land.
I would love to have seen the expressions on Chris’s face while the guest was operating his Volvo.
Lmao. Same but not really I don’t think he was concerned you could tell by how he was talking super calm
You make it look so easy... then when the lid try's your experience shines
Teaching new operators means there will be someone to run excavators when Chris retires
Give the kid a break.
Any operator who jumps into the seat of a different machine will take a while to get smooth on the controls.
Any experienced operator knows that.
Wasn't perfect, wasn't the worst. As long as he knows that and is open to learning he'll get there overtime
Another great smash grab and clean up bro, for a moment there I thought you had a TV crew tagging along for the day. Safe travels up your way.
If you were trying to dig around and not break that slab, it would pop like glass! Great work!
The young man operating your equipment looked like a mini you. He'll get the hang of it. Time leads to perfection.
Aaron is a Kid and Chris is teaching him the ropes. The only way to get smooth is from Experience and have someone like Chris to show him the ropes.
Always double check your tank before removing. You don't want to find out in the moment that they lied to you about the septic tank being pumped before removal.
29:47 that slab of concrete made it look like you were back at the animal hospital.
Looks great Chris. Thanks for sharing.
You can see who is the rookie to Chris's abilities. That is what years of experience does to ones smoothness.

Chris is doing a very professional job it was great to see his guest operate his machine. This is another awesome job. 😀❤🇨🇦
that was a good one. drinking and driveing lol. will make for a nice new home. cheers mate.
Good job Chris, top notch operator my friend. We are so fortunate that you share your work with us. Thank You sir!
REMOVE a driveway? That’s a new one. 👌🏼
Another one in the Books !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Weekend.... On too the Next !!
Ooh joy, a Chris Letsdig18 video I musta missed.

It’s amazing watching someone else operate before you realize just how good and smooth Chris really is. Big difference.
awesome job chris, that looks like its licked clean too,the kid was having fun on your excavator,he,s learning fast when he,s been shown the ropes from you chris , nice one.i hope their new house wont be as bad as their old house, in their case i wouldnt put any basement underneath the house like the old one.nice job on the driveway too plus it didnt get windy durring the demo.nice video
You do a great job with culverts Chris.!.
It was really Obvious how Smooth and Productive every Move that Chris makes. Time is Money.💰
Aaron must be either a new trainee or a relative don’t know to many operators that would let just anyone use there equipment but he did a good job
Aaron Witt, Buildwitt on TH-cam.
Chris you make it look so easy but we can see it isn't. Can't believe you let a novice use your machine. If the person that poured the last wall you removed had done the entire foundation
this house would be there until the end of time. Lot looks amazing.
I would pay to use your Volvo just to take down a house. It looks like so much fun. Thanks for taking us along with this one Chris.
Great job Chris as always if I lived closer I'd Love to work for you Have a great weekend
Fantastic work 👍👍👍
Awesome job. Take such extra care
Would love to see an update on the old pond you are filling in.
Good to see others having a go. Only way to learn.
The young man did well. Good on you, Chris, to mentor the next-generation! 👍
The comparison reveals the TIMING and FINESSE needed for the SMOOTH operation of an excavator. 🤯
Watching YOU makes it look EASY for us armchair operators....it AIN'T! 😉
That cellar hole seemed like a great place to dump brush, as well as all the bricks from the chimney.

Teach new people all the time glad to see someone else doin it to
It is really satisfying to watch someone handle machines with such precision and efficiency and that is why I keep watching your vids and shut off others.
"Just another excavator video" doesn't fit the bill at all.
Great stuff Chris!!!
"Shitter was full" Thanks for the video.
With you as a teacher, the kids gonna be just fine!
good demo video
Nice job!!
Love how nice you are to everyone
Great job. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰
Lol!! I like the flex scoop of dirt just before removing the septic. 😆
Chris, you know you’ve officially made it when @buildwitt comes around for a guest appearance.
I love ur work you are the best , from calif
I would love to do that after operating the old machinery
Another fine job sir

Think he's Not There Yet🤔
But with a little help from Chris, He'll Do Fine 😎👍
Great sharing
The master and the apprentice!😃😃😃
Hmm let’s see how much power the thumb has mid air on concrete?
Don’t demo the fence. You can get good money if taken down properly in these times. Who are the new guys and camera crew?
That was buildwitt which is a media company focusing on the construction industry or as he calls it the dirt world. Aaron owns the company and If you have IG you can check more of it out there.
“Hello boys, they call me the Pond Master, but today you can call me the “Honey Dipper” . “ Now careful, that’s VOLVO power you got ahold of.”

turtle rabbit boy ain't gonna get the knickname "smooth" anytime soon. Chris is elite
The guest operator really shows how talented you are with the excavator. It put it into... wait for it... Perspective.
The Tech School Close to where I live has an Operator class with job placement that is second to none, LINN STATE TECH
Your hand eye coordination makes the bucket an exact copy of your own hand and wrist. Ever thought about being a fighter pilot!
Give him the egg challenge in a couple of days?
Nice looks great 👍🏻🇺🇸

Discovery should give u ur own show.. never mine dirty jobs.. how about pond builds/rebuilds/dam repairs with Chris ......
Problem is that pretty much every time a network gets involved with a channel, they destroy it to the point it isn't worth watching.
So true Blazer02LS SO true.
@@Blazer02LS I certainly agree.. Chris is doing well where he is today.
@@Blazer02LS Yup, they insist on "scripts" and "tension points" that are phony as hell. Artificial drama is required in their world even if the viewers hate it.

Well that's one way for a young man to learn how to run things hands on hope he's gotten better since then great job though fellas love your videos
You should feel very priviledged, young man, Chris don't let just anyone play with his favorite toy.
Absolutely a great job that was a lot to do too bad we couldn't see the very end when you broke up that cement
Now that I saw that septic tank, I have a new theory for the true purpose of Egyptian sarcophagi...
