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 🙏🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.👏
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
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
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.
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!!
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!
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.
Very cool decals Chris. Nice restoration of your truck. LetsDig18 Rocks! I have been watching for years. Keep the quality content rolling. Connecticut Ron.
@@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
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.
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
Barney looks amazing. Good purchase and will serve u well. Huge pond project shaping up beautifully. The landowners, I'm sure, are so pleased. God's blessings and stay safe.
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.
Ahh, the decals have arrived. Now its complete but, woah! The grill!! I can tell you are extremely happy with the way it turned out. Shoot, I'm happy with it and its not even mine, lol. It gives you that awesome feeling of pride. It shows that you are proud of your equipment and what you have worked for.
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 !!! 👍👍
She is looking great & from a ways away it could pass for new if those few minor dents wasn't in her ! It's a shame got put her right back in the dirt but that's what she was made for ! You did great getting her i'm sure she will pay for herself in a short time even with the repairs you had get done ! If i ever get out indiana i'll be living in my rv & if i get your way i'd love to just drop in a bit might even offer to help drive the haul truck i drove one many years ago in the gravel pit hauling sand to the asphalt plant !
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 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..
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!
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 👍
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.
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.
Nice Decals Chris looks great but if it was me I would change the color of the letsdig18 on the grill to white lettering to match the Volvo lettering color! Dam looking good!!!
Truck looks fabulous.😃 Pad on the end of the pipe looks plenty solid.😀 A visibly productive day there. 😉The truck seems a very good investment.🤔 Thanks for taking us along Chris. 🙂Be well.😊
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 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
Barney has gone from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. Good job Chris!
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 🙏🏻

Your pride shows in your equipment and the jobs you do!
I agree, hard to find people with genuine pride and humility.🙏
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Digger,haul truck,dozer. Sounds like heaven.
Add this video to the the 10 Acre Pond Project playlist! 🙂
Should have got A30D decals so he could have hauled more. Truck looks good!
Nah A25c+p :-)
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 .
Oh Barney is looking good. You have done such a great job with him Chris. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Changing things up from a viewers point....Fantastic! Thank you Sir... 🙂
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.
"Barney", and the 10 acre pond are looking good Chris!
Mr. D.P. may have bought a rock truck, but it will never ever look that good. OUTSTANDING 👌👌👌
That’s some decal Chris, now it looks like your truck!! All the best, Graham 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
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.👏
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
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
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👍👋
Every scoop you take... every pipe you break.... I'll be watching you! Lol

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻 Now I'm happy with your dumper.
WOW, WOW, WOW...Barney looks GREAT. Love the LD18 grille cover.
You definitely made the Right Decision to have this Decal Professionally Installed Perfectly. 👍
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.
Hi all, thanks again Chris for all the videos 🇬🇧👍👍👍🍺
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.
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.
Your articulated hauler looks great with the new paint and decals, sitting next to the excavator is cool.
All Dressed up & ready to go! Congrat's!👊💪
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.
Can't believe the difference the decals make. Trucks looking sharp . Top content as always mate 👍

SOT Metalworks did a great job on the grill Chris, looks the part now.
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! 😀😃
Very cool decals Chris. Nice restoration of your truck. LetsDig18 Rocks! I have been watching for years. Keep the quality content rolling. Connecticut Ron.
Haul trucks now a going to town rig. Lookin sharp with new grill, paint and decals.
That worked out awesome having that concrete waste to use there! Precision fit, Chris style!
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.

POOR BARNEY, HE'S GOING BLUSH, LOOKING GREAT .
The decals make the truck look amazing along with the paint job. The pad looks awesome Chris nice work.
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, ☺.
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.
Ol Barney looks brand new! Looks great.
Barney looks so good now I think you need to call him Mr. Barney 😊👍
Those decals really gave the haul truck back its character. Amazing what finishing touches will do for the appearance of things.
Decals look nice and the dam is coming along great!!
Barney is really struttin' his stuff! lol Looks like a whole different truck! Great Job!
Pride in your work and pride in your equipment gets the big jobs.
Stickers! Like a big-ass tonka toy. Awesome. You’ll have more toys than you can use soon. Keep on keeping on! 👍🏻
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
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.
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
Barney looks amazing. Good purchase and will serve u well. Huge pond project shaping up beautifully. The landowners, I'm sure, are so pleased. God's blessings and stay safe.
I really like the torch action by the fuel inlet....Those guys are awesome!!!
Awesome ..they always look better with the decals/stripes back after they're gone with time.Nice job!!! Grill is sweet too
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.
Even if Chris doesn't know how to, he'll figure it out real quick anyway
Ahh, the decals have arrived. Now its complete but, woah! The grill!! I can tell you are extremely happy with the way it turned out. Shoot, I'm happy with it and its not even mine, lol. It gives you that awesome feeling of pride. It shows that you are proud of your equipment and what you have worked for.
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.
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 !!! 👍👍

I’m glad you had this done. My OCD was disturbed by the clean truck. I’ve enjoyed watching you rebuild this to work in your videos
Absolutely brilliant Chris congratulations
The dozer need a new stainless steel grill with your logo to match the truck! I think that would look great!
I would say the wrap gives it an identity. Character is what it gets when you scratch it up some.
Wow that truck his awsome and the grill too .👍👍👍
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.
Barney looks great with the new decals!
Installers worked very clean did a great job installing
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..
Looks like new! Proud to see some quality equipment made in Braås, Sweden!
Looking great! The best one is the grill! The letsdig18 world take over is looking great and only getting better.
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.
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 👍
Errol Shive would be proud! Man, that dam is solid! The tires with a full load didn’t move that dirt an inch! Was like driving on concrete.
Super job thanks Chris for all yr videos 📹 👍big hello from ireland 🇮🇪
Hello Chris your BIG YELLOW TRUCK looks great with the new decals and grill 👍👍
looking smart new paint job adds new life into her
Looking good now.and not using any oil.man your good to go.love that truck.
That was good use of the concrete after a good rain it's going look like the slabs was made for it !
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.
Decals make the truck look finished!! Coming along very nice!! That dissipator pad turned out really good.
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.
Nice Decals Chris looks great but if it was me I would change the color of the letsdig18 on the grill to white lettering to match the Volvo lettering color! Dam looking good!!!
Truck looks fabulous.😃 Pad on the end of the pipe looks plenty solid.😀 A visibly productive day there. 😉The truck seems a very good investment.🤔 Thanks for taking us along Chris. 🙂Be well.😊
He'll easily pay for himself that's for sure, he's already got a shit ton of work put into this pad as it is
The difference those decals made on the haul truck is amazing. The dam is looking good also.
Chris, it really looks good! The the CNC machine cut grill looks sweet!!! Really making it your own, and I love it!
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.
Chris your customers certainly get an above and beyond service. You never stop 🙂
I like the pride you obviously have in your vehicles and it shows,new or old you take good care of them!
Awesome….Looks like new Chris. Even your Logo in the radiator area looks professional.. A+ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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
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! 🙂
Barney cleaned up and looking sharp.
