We had the family sign business before vinyl and computers, everything was done by hand lettering and we did semi trailers by hand. We also did silk screening, spray paint and I have done spraying illuminated signs and awnings, sandblasting mirrors, etc. Back in the good old days.
There are carpenters and there are cabinet makers, there are cooks and there are chefs , gardeners and horticulturalists , you sir are an artist of your craft 🙏🏻
The haul truck really looks good, the stickers and the new grill gave it just the right amount of bling to set it off and make it finished looking with class. Thanks for the ride along.
Man, Barney looks good! He went from looking like a Tonka truck, to the serious piece of equipment that he really is. Looks like you hit a home run with this purchase, Chris.👏
OOOH, new tattoos for Barney! Looking pretty sharp with a new paint job, some new decals & a nasty looking logo on the snoot. Nice to see someone who looks after their toys.
Haul truck looks great. I would go the extra mile, paint the dashboard and add all new instruments decals. Make the inside look as good as the outside. UK
Never noticed how much the sidewalls on the haul truck move around when loaded until the undershot with gopro. Truck is looking good. Money well spent.
Between the mechanic giving Barney a full makeover, the paint job and these decals, it's hard to believe that it's the same rusty old thing that limped onto the farm a few months back. Looks like it'll make a solid addition to the equipment, if this job is anything to judge by :)
Damn, poetry in motion. What looked like such an impossible mission a half-dozen videos ago, is becoming a work of art. I like Mike, but Chris, I've got to admit... YOU'RE THE BEST!!
Hi from uk chris 👋👍 I must say sir Barney looks ravishing 👌😍 for a old man he scrubbed up really well👌 and I know its his role but when you tipped that concrete out I was gritting my teeth thinking oooogh nooo that paint in is load bucket😢 lol decals looks amazing and love the grill too👍 oh and great job on pond not long now then on to the next one eh👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Chris just by putting those decals on it made it look like a totally different truck and those boys knew what they were doing so now you only have a few more things to do to it and that is fixing the lights the back up alarm and last but not least the AC, and as you well know well let me put it to you like this, the company I work for for 15 years had two of those C models, and the operators was always complaining about the AC would not keep it cool in the cab on those hot summer days so I talk my boss man into getting a local guy that tented windows to come out and tent all of the windows in it and I’m here to tell you that you could not run the fan over medium all day in the middle of the summer and it would absolutely freeze you to death in it but anyway brother you got you a fine looking haul truck now so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming my friend
Very cool decals Chris. Nice restoration of your truck. LetsDig18 Rocks! I have been watching for years. Keep the quality content rolling. Connecticut Ron.
Chris, The haul truck looks great and it sounds healthy! I am so glad it and the D6 have worked out so well. I am also glad Betty is getting back to work. God Bless!
New decals and grill make it look like new. I'm surprised there's no "Barney" decal or a picture of Barney Rubble in the new decal package... Dirt Perfect should paint his haul truck olive drab like the 850J
I'm such a huge fan of the fact that you took the trouble and expense to put decals back on it. Obviously this is a functional vehicle built to work, but it makes a huge difference to the overall impression that it gives. It seems newer just by adding some decals. If/when you sell it I bet the decals will help draw buyers in, even if they don't realize it and even if the decals are beat up a bit.
I’m a die hard do-it-yourselfer. But sometimes it really is best to hire the Pros! The learning curve can sometimes be very expensive! I bet the guy sold you the truck would regret it when he sees how nice you buffed it up!
Quinn, you have such an endless supply of set up gear and yet you are left wanting at times, so frustrating. Despite the couple of minor indiscretions, your connecting rod turned out nicely. Thanks for the video.
@@BackFarms That makes perfect sense. Thanks. I was always the kid sitting on spoil piles at the first construction site I could “smell” a minute after school let out. Cable excavators, too! That would be late ‘50’s. Damn! I guess we don’t change, I’m still sitting watching diggers! Just not on the dirt!
The value has definitely doubled since you purchased the dumb truck Chris, 😊, but then again it's not surprising that either way all your plants are worth more, ☺.
Dam Chris ur rock placement made me think back when i used to lay Creek rock walls up in the basements of really nice homes for party pool rooms but yet you did it with a big bucket and a lot less sweat ..nice work
Truck looks great Chris. Man I've watched this channel for a long time and I have seen you operate everything known to man and I have yet to see a piece of equipment that you couldn't operate. And the amount of work that you do by yourself in most cases is just beyond imagination. I mean your super fast and so perfectly done. I wish everyone worked as hard as you and cared as much as you do. One thing I can say if you put your name on it, it is perfectly done.
It never fails to impress, just how committed you are Chris, to getting a job done. There you are, out there on your own, surrounded by equipment, just because you believe in " why put off til tomorrow, what you can do today" It's key, IMO, to the attitude of real Americans, and something that seems missing in the under 30's
That dam wall looks pretty solid.. I watched another guy on TH-cam built a nice pond... material didnt look like clay and lo and behold... it's leaking and now they want to add some gel..
Chris the grill on the haul truck looks great @SOT Metal works did a great job ,,, If I ever see that grill in the mirror I am putting my foot too the floor and getting the BEEP out of the way ,, LOL
Hey Chris !! Great job with the ""BARNEY"" Decals !!! Makes things look a whole lot better than just ""PLAIN JANE "" !!! Dam is coming along quite well & Hope the heavy rain doesn't do too much damage there !! Have a good week & Thanks Again !!! 👍👍
Keeping your equipment looking good is important stuff. Or it always has been to me. People do notice,I have been complimented many times through the years. It presents a professional image.
It's an absolute pleasure to watch your videos Letsdig18, to hear the pride and enjoyment you have in your fleet, your commitment to doing the best job possible and the explanations given to what you are doing. Thankyou.
What a huge difference the dump truck looks now since you bought it. I really love the way you upgrade equipment, it looks good and makes a statement about your business professionalism. Clients see the high standard of your equipment and that draws them to you.
It is amazing how much difference a decal makes. Plum pretty. And the grill everybody will know it is Chris. Finally on the down side of this job. Looks great.
The Logo and the New Lettering on the Haul Truck is to Point Class!!!! 👌Make the self on Your other Machines. By the Overflow and Pipe to put and Repair the Dam as well as possible Planning and Drawing up, allone to lay from the Rock, to Perfect, this go not better 👍
Your pride shows in your equipment and the jobs you do!
I agree, hard to find people with genuine pride and humility.🙏
Should have got A30D decals so he could have hauled more. Truck looks good!
Nah A25c+p :-)

Oh Barney is looking good. You have done such a great job with him Chris. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Add this video to the the 10 Acre Pond Project playlist! 🙂
Amazing how the decals improve the look of the truck
Makes the company look more professional and legit for a couple bucks which goes well with Chris because he is certainly a professional .
That’s some decal Chris, now it looks like your truck!! All the best, Graham 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Every scoop you take... every pipe you break.... I'll be watching you! Lol
Digger,haul truck,dozer. Sounds like heaven.
Barney has gone from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. Good job Chris!
Mr. D.P. may have bought a rock truck, but it will never ever look that good. OUTSTANDING 👌👌👌
Changing things up from a viewers point....Fantastic! Thank you Sir... 🙂

"Barney", and the 10 acre pond are looking good Chris!
Never noticed how much the sidewalls on the haul truck move around when loaded until the undershot with gopro. Truck is looking good. Money well spent.
Watching you add the lift around the overflow box with a dozer and how close you manage to get without bumping it takes real skill! Go Chris!
I was thinking the same thing .
just go slow
Between the mechanic giving Barney a full makeover, the paint job and these decals, it's hard to believe that it's the same rusty old thing that limped onto the farm a few months back.
Looks like it'll make a solid addition to the equipment, if this job is anything to judge by :)
Your articulated hauler looks great with the new paint and decals, sitting next to the excavator is cool.
Damn, poetry in motion. What looked like such an impossible mission a half-dozen videos ago, is becoming a work of art. I like Mike, but Chris, I've got to admit... YOU'RE THE BEST!!
You definitely made the Right Decision to have this Decal Professionally Installed Perfectly. 👍
Hi from uk chris 👋👍 I must say sir Barney looks ravishing 👌😍 for a old man he scrubbed up really well👌 and I know its his role but when you tipped that concrete out I was gritting my teeth thinking oooogh nooo that paint in is load bucket😢 lol decals looks amazing and love the grill too👍 oh and great job on pond not long now then on to the next one eh👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Now, some chrome mag wheels, gangster whites, chrome side pipes, a chrome hood scoop and wheelie bar! You'll be ready to hit the strip! 😀😃
What's even better was that you had them come out on a job to do it. It really looks great. Something to be very proud of.
Chris just by putting those decals on it made it look like a totally different truck and those boys knew what they were doing so now you only have a few more things to do to it and that is fixing the lights the back up alarm and last but not least the AC, and as you well know well let me put it to you like this, the company I work for for 15 years had two of those C models, and the operators was always complaining about the AC would not keep it cool in the cab on those hot summer days so I talk my boss man into getting a local guy that tented windows to come out and tent all of the windows in it and I’m here to tell you that you could not run the fan over medium all day in the middle of the summer and it would absolutely freeze you to death in it but anyway brother you got you a fine looking haul truck now so you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming my friend
Hi all, thanks again Chris for all the videos 🇬🇧👍👍👍🍺
Your hauling truck looks almost brand new with the new bling on it. I’d take that over a brand new very expensive hauler any day.
Chris, I'm so happy for you! Your a damn good man. Everything seems to really come together for you and it couldn't happen to a better person.
WOW, WOW, WOW...Barney looks GREAT. Love the LD18 grille cover.
Very cool decals Chris. Nice restoration of your truck. LetsDig18 Rocks! I have been watching for years. Keep the quality content rolling. Connecticut Ron.
Can't believe the difference the decals make. Trucks looking sharp . Top content as always mate 👍
Chris, The haul truck looks great and it sounds healthy! I am so glad it and the D6 have worked out so well. I am also glad Betty is getting back to work. God Bless!
Chris, looking good. I also believe in keeping the iron clean and decals on them. The hands also show more respect to it.
Evening all
New decals and grill make it look like new. I'm surprised there's no "Barney" decal or a picture of Barney Rubble in the new decal package...
Dirt Perfect should paint his haul truck olive drab like the 850J
Ol Barney looks brand new! Looks great.
That worked out awesome having that concrete waste to use there! Precision fit, Chris style!
Barney looks so good now I think you need to call him Mr. Barney 😊👍

Send a picture of the Haul Truck to DP and say eat your heart out.
SOT metalworks did a great job on the grill. Decals look great. The guy said it would go faster now! Maybe DP needs decals on his.
I’m a die hard do-it-yourselfer. But sometimes it really is best to hire the Pros! The learning curve can sometimes be very expensive! I bet the guy sold you the truck would regret it when he sees how nice you buffed it up!
I sent him a picture lol
Don't blame ya Chris, the haul truck is looking sharp, good job on Barney.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Quinn, you have such an endless supply of set up gear and yet you are left wanting at times, so frustrating. Despite the couple of minor indiscretions, your connecting rod turned out nicely. Thanks for the video.
Those decals really gave the haul truck back its character. Amazing what finishing touches will do for the appearance of things.
POOR BARNEY, HE'S GOING BLUSH, LOOKING GREAT .
Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Now I'm happy with your dumper.
I would say the wrap gives it an identity. Character is what it gets when you scratch it up some.
Looking sharp mr Chris the nose cone looks amazing stellar job on whom built that with your logo on it, the decal guys did awesome also
I’m curious as to the significance of the “18”. I get the “Let’s Dig” part, lol.
@@BackFarms That makes perfect sense. Thanks.
I was always the kid sitting on spoil piles at the first construction site I could “smell” a minute after school let out. Cable excavators, too! That would be late ‘50’s. Damn! I guess we don’t change, I’m still sitting watching diggers! Just not on the dirt!
SOT Metalworks did a great job on the grill Chris, looks the part now.
The value has definitely doubled since you purchased the dumb truck Chris, 😊, but then again it's not surprising that either way all your plants are worth more, ☺.
Haul trucks now a going to town rig. Lookin sharp with new grill, paint and decals.
Pride in your work and pride in your equipment gets the big jobs.
Dam Chris ur rock placement made me think back when i used to lay Creek rock walls up in the basements of really nice homes for party pool rooms but yet you did it with a big bucket and a lot less sweat ..nice work
All Dressed up & ready to go! Congrat's!👊💪
I really like the torch action by the fuel inlet....Those guys are awesome!!!
The dozer need a new stainless steel grill with your logo to match the truck! I think that would look great!
Barney cleaned up and looking sharp.
The decals make the truck look amazing along with the paint job. The pad looks awesome Chris nice work.
Barney is looking great 👍

Even if Chris doesn't know how to, he'll figure it out real quick anyway

NICE! Really like your logo on the front. I know you have it on other equipment as well. For some reason it looks tougher on the front of that truck.
looking smart new paint job adds new life into her
It's always a good feeling when you know you have something that's mechanically sound.
Ol Barney looking sharp ! 🕶
Barney looks great with the new decals!
Chris the grill on the haul truck looks great @SOT Metal works did a great job ,,, If I ever see that grill in the mirror I am putting my foot too the floor and getting the BEEP out of the way ,, LOL
A man's got to know his limitations!!!! Truck looks good
Hey Chris !! Great job with the ""BARNEY"" Decals !!! Makes things look a whole lot better than just ""PLAIN JANE "" !!! Dam is coming along quite well & Hope the heavy rain doesn't do too much damage there !! Have a good week & Thanks Again !!! 👍👍

OH YA !!!!!!! Betty is next !!!!!! Very sweet !
It's an absolute pleasure to watch your videos Letsdig18, to hear the pride and enjoyment you have in your fleet, your commitment to doing the best job possible and the explanations given to what you are doing. Thankyou.
That was good use of the concrete after a good rain it's going look like the slabs was made for it !
you really take care of your equipment. I really like the finish on this one :-)
Absolutely brilliant Chris congratulations
Looks bloody amazing. Maybe Volvo might like to use it as an advert
LOOKING GREAT 👍 I AM SURE PREVIOUS OWNERS WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE EVEN BEFORE DECALS
Maybe you should send them a photo of how it looks now. Would love to see their faces! 🙂
The compaction on that dam is impressive.
Seems like some pros 🤙i respect how you make sure all your equipment looks good. Even though your stuff isnt always new it sure looks like it is 🙌
The haul truck looks freakin sweet, love the new grill.
Stickers! Like a big-ass tonka toy. Awesome. You’ll have more toys than you can use soon. Keep on keeping on! 👍🏻
Chris, I see Junior came through with your custom grill! It will be six months before we see Dirt Perfect’s. Tom
Looks 'factory fresh', got to love the 'logo' grill
Installers worked very clean did a great job installing
Chris knows that you not only need to BE good, but you also need to LOOK good! 😎
Wow that truck his awsome and the grill too .👍👍👍
What a huge difference the dump truck looks now since you bought it. I really love the way you upgrade equipment, it looks good and makes a statement about your business professionalism. Clients see the high standard of your equipment and that draws them to you.
It is amazing how much difference a decal makes. Plum pretty. And the grill everybody will know it is Chris. Finally on the down side of this job. Looks great.
