Are you sure that the owner didn’t just like rent some equipment and try to do it himself because it completely looks like someone who has never moved dirt in their lives worked on that project
I would almost bet on that. I joke around about having put my kids through college making right what some well meaning "home joe" did wrong . Sad part is , I'm not really joking 🙃
I do some private chef gigs here and there. Anybody that tries to haggle price i don't deal with. You want a job done? Here's what it is. The best people always pay more than what I ask and thats ok too. If its cheap it ain't good, if its good it ain't cheap
that might be a great idea. The next tie you have to hire one try it ad see how it goes. i mean a youtube channel showing what you do is almost f not better than a reference ( maybe ) .. but i have no idea personally only by watching some of the same channels that you are subscribed to..
Get really depressed when I see the videos of this pond project, cuz it's such a total mess and a waste of some beautiful land and trees. Dat Tada Dah, Excavator Man (aka, letsdig18 Chris) to the rescue. We all know that if anyone can make it right, it's Chris. Happy returns at the end.
I would have loved to eavesdropped on the conversation you had with the landowner as to how much more work you will have to do to undo the damage done and how much more it will cost him.
This fella that screwed up this piece of property, his mama must of dropped him on his head when he was a baby. He's really stupid or really greedy or both!!!! just saying!!!
Almost looks like someone got new toys for Christmas and took them out to see what they would do and then packed up and left the mess behind for someone else to clean up.
I was just fixin' to comment this same thing. When you look at all the little pieces, it looks like the previous contractor figured he was getting the boot and did everything he could to make it harder on the next guy to complete the project.
hey, just wondering if you could make an update video when the pond gets filled up, it would be really cool to see drone shots from the first video when it was a disaster compared to the update video where its all filled up and looking nice
I’m official , received my safety orange letsdig18 shirt , my Amish neighbors in Lancaster pa are going to ask , WHEN ARE WE GOING DIGGEN !!!! LOL THANKS CHRIS
Just wanted to say that I hope you know I love watching u do what you do which obviously includes some awesome and crazy shit ! But anything pond related is for sure my favorite !! So having not only your M -F stuff and weekend stuff involving you correct repair and make right ...these other dumbasses attempts at ponds just brings it to an entirely new level of enjoyment for me !! I'm hanging on every word a d also leaning hard in the opposite direction ( like freaking literally) every time u drive that ex into an area most wouldn't do. !! You are my favorite TV show Chris !!! 😁
I know you have been doing this a long time ,but in my business and experience I can surmise #1 land owner is filthy rich and money is no object or #2 a fool who doesn't intend to pay and plans to tie all up in court for next 20 years ,,,,, with rare exception I would have walked away from that baby ,,,,,been burned before ,expensive life lessons made me that way . Good luck brother , God bless .
Your ability to size up the situation and come up with an efficient battle plan is impressive. You sure got a lot done in one day. It won't be long and you will have the water under control and be rolling.
The man who started this job should have his contractor license taken away from him for ever. You can tell he didn't know what the hell he was doing. Chris I feel bad for you having to clean that man's mess up. Please be careful and safe out there. We don't want to lose you or your machine to someone else stupidity. Love the videos Chris
Hi Lets Dig 18, Would it be possible to put job name/numbers in the titles, or even something in the thumb nail? You do a lot of jumping around from video to video. At one site one day, and another site another day. It's very difficult to follow a single job from start to finish. A simple job title like 2020-001 Starting On The Pond Disaster Day 1. Or 2020-002 The U-store it job. Cheers, Bill
I feel for you on this one it’s looking like it’s going to be a real mess with a lot of mud and digging and Filling up holes and ruts so good luck and I’ll be watching 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉🥺
Watching these videos and watching the way you can turn these disasters into nice, useable pieces of land (or water) again sometimes makes me wanna move down there and work for your company haha
That’s the kind of stuff I end up cleaning up all the time, makes you want to find the person who created that nightmare and take them out behind the woodshed for a talk 👍🏻😂
I will enjoy watching this project. You got your hands full with this one buddy. On a plus note, you got more accomplished in one day than most would in a couple days. You work very efficiently boss.
I feel pretty certain that the previous guy knew exactly what sort of mess he made. I don't know how he thought he could get away with what he did. Hopefully he'll get sued and lose his contractor's license. He shouldn't be allowed to ever do this to another client.
After watching the minnow pond videos and now this one. I put 2 and 2 together... the person who tried to rebuild both ponds and screwed up is none other than the owner themselves. DIY gone wrong. They probably watched your videos and thought " well that looks simple enough ". IMHO
That whole pond is going to be like Christmas and Easter the entire time- there are going to be "presents" for you everywhere. How did y'all manage to work to fix 2 disaster builds in a row? There was a farm you were working on two winters ago, clearing a cutover for field. You had said something about they wanted you to build a pond there but you haven't gone back. Will you ever get back to them or did that other contractor clearing for him get the rest of it?
I DON'T LIKE TO COMMENT VERY MUTCH, BUT I MOST TO WATCTH IT ALL YOUR VIDEOS. I LIKE WHAT YOU DO. YOU ARE A PROFESIONAL. PARDON MY FRENCH, MY ENGLISH IS NOT TO GOOD.
As I was watching Chris rip these little willows out all I could think was how bad it would suck without that machine and all the snakes and nasty swamp critters in there. Then listening to him talk and show what the previous jackass did with no rhyme nor reason, it hit me. Trump needs a big Volvo Loader to clean the DC Swamp! Those nasty critters would'nt stand a chance!
I have always watched your videos to Wind down at the end of my day, but this job gets me mad to see how incompetent the other guy is! Almost makes a guy want to locate his equipment and make sure it never runs again! 🤬😡🤨😏😁
It's no wonder why the trees are dying, a trees roots spread roughly 50% FARTHER than the upper canopy spreads... So if a tree has a 50 foot diameter canopy, it has a 75 foot diameter root network...And numbnuts cut the bank down MAYBE 10 feet from the trunk on either side... The property owner should Sue numbnuts for the destruction of the trees (Tree Law can get VERY expensive in a hurry) unless the owner wanted the trees to be removed in the first place, in which case, they should have been felled before the pond was dug...
I wonder, how these hacks get hired? You need to call your company. We Fix Their Screw Ups. I had another word in mind, but this is a family channel! LOL, 🤣😂🤣😂
If I was the Land Owner . I would have the previous "Contractor" tied up in so much litigation , that his grandchildren would have to have lawyers !!! That shit is totally uncalled for period.... Dammit Man !! Chris, you got some major prep to do before you can really get to the heart of fixing that damn mess !! I hope you do some good long videos each day of this job, I'd really like to see what all has to be done on this one , WOW !! Unreal Man , what some people will do , to get over on someone ... Well. your off to a good start man !1 Thanks for sharing it with us all Chris, Have a Great evening !! See ya on the Next !!
Driving my grain rig South on interstate 87 through the Adirondacks and I see a spanking-new Volvo haul truck on a lowboy going north. Dang it if letsdig18 ain't the first thing I thought of!! Keep the excellent work and videos cranking Chris
Kinda nice when I come across a Chris vid I missed in one of his series I watched. He's talking about building a road for the haul truck and it gets me thinking about what's called a Corduroy road made from logs two logs lengthwise on each outside edge with running logs across those. Dirt packed between the logs. They were used extensively during the Civil War in many regions of Forrest and swamp mixed areas.
That is a big mess you’re dealing with, and I don’t know the first thing bout digging ponds! Sure does look better now! Sad about all those trees he killed!
Use that dirt he piled up and raised the land like 20 feet taller to make your temp road. Shame about the trees, i would almost think he did that on purpose spite the fact the homeowner wanted to save them. I know you will fix it up best you can. Any news on shop update, thumb and bigger bucket yet? Looking forward to this saga........lol. Keep up the video's buddy and stay safe!
Never in my life seen such shoddy work...This guy didn't have a clue about how a pond is constructed ...He must have been a good scam artist rented a machine moved some dirt to make it look as though he was building something to the untrained eye then ran off with the money...They hired the right guy to fix it...!!! You sir are the kind of person I would enjoy working with ..Step one have a plan of attack step two adapt to the situation ...Your Name is attached to every job you perform which tells a story about the person..We have never met but your videos tell me alot about who you are as a person..Keep your integrity Chris..!!!
Is that stuff your pulling down, grubbing up river cane ? The stuff you stick pole beans with. I would like to start some of that stuff somewhere. We went to a place on lower Poor Valley creek, we must have cut 200 sticks. I got some for me and my neighbors got some. Has a pickup load. I was told that a man was selling them at the farmers market for a dollar a piece.
The pained expression on Chris’s face at @11:35 says it all. It’s tight and furrowed brow. He’s keeping the video G rated. But you can tell choice epithets are what he’s really thinking.
Dear Lord.... It's like someone rented a big dozer and then a mini excavator to dig the small holes. I'm not sure what your charging but it's not enough with all the findings, I've watched the last few first prior to this original mistake pond..
what a mess! who the hell did this? they should never be allowed anywhere near any type of machinery again. not even a cordless drill. without a drill bit in it. i hope you doubled your fee for this job.
I hope the owner didn’t pay the previous contractor with the mess he left. If he did that’s plain dumb. Just goes to show just because a person has a earthmoving business doesn’t mean he knows what he’s doing. Should always check and ask to show an example of finished previous jobs.
I woulda lost those mats in the mud 11 jobs ago. I'm amazed at the logistical chess game (not to mention bidding it) you have to work out at the start of a job like this; it undoubtedly looks different on the ground versus looking through a camera lens.
The refugee from Planned Parenthood had an unfortunate incident when on meth and couldn't get a burn permit to get rid of the cleared brush. Planning for him was obviously a challenge because of the issues given to him by the previously mentioned organization. Playing in the mud however was something he was born to do.......
Christian want To ask you one question.... I ran a small skid steer with the dump truck got pretty good and I want things will take me on a job..... like that since there’s so many unknowns you do cost overrun or oh my gosh a shit what are we gonna do now don’t show your hand just give me an idea I’m not that I’m going to go dig in Bonsall don’t want to get near that just one does this mean you another curiosity I flip houses and used to work remodel houses east to tell people Mike the movie said life like a box of chocolates you never know what you’re going to get to the “Forrest Gump “ if you want to tip your hand that’s fine if you don’t that’s OK too take care stay healthy junk man do
I feel so so sorry for the owners of this place, and especially bad for the trees, who in the heck and in their right mind, doesn't understand that if you damage a trees roots enough, it will die?! So many years of growing, it would have given good shade to the pond, cover and protection for fish and wildlife, it is so sad :( Hope the owners get to sue the life out of this idiot, for the damage made and money lost! He probably have made so much dumb stuff during his work on other places that he will be bankrupt for life!
The previous contractor was just a dirt mover and left a mess for somebody else to clean up.Push it here leave it there and move on.I know you can't say who the guy was even if you know but it would interesting to hear the land owner say who and give his opinion.Good luck fixing this mess.
Another great video Chris, did Tim quit or what happened wedding because I haven’t been seeing you and I saw on one of the comments on one of the videos that he had quit and I was just wondering
I know people who make a good life out of fixing other peoples poor workmanship. Just proves always check a companies history before hiring for a job .

I would love to be a fly on the wall when your talking to the property owners on one of these types of jobs
Yeah that’s the old saying do it right or do it twice, except when you have to pay someone to do it twice it cost three times
Now that is one big mistake. Can’t wait to see how this goes. Sure you will perform another pond rescue
This is fun to watch because it’s just brush and not trees being cleared
Like the video on the pond Disaster .
I'm curious do you know who these guys are the did the work the first time.
👍👍😀🍁
Are you sure that the owner didn’t just like rent some equipment and try to do it himself because it completely looks like someone who has never moved dirt in their lives worked on that project
I would almost bet on that. I joke around about having put my kids through college making right what some well meaning "home joe" did wrong . Sad part is , I'm not really joking 🙃
so ummm has someone gone around and checked grades on the dam, spillway and etc... cause with all the rest.... Id be a little worried.
Damn the previous guy really didn't know what he was doing. That's proof the cheapest bid is not always the best option.
Cheap means. You get what you pay for.
That's why references are good to have besides level of bid.
I do some private chef gigs here and there. Anybody that tries to haggle price i don't deal with. You want a job done? Here's what it is. The best people always pay more than what I ask and thats ok too.
If its cheap it ain't good, if its good it ain't cheap

Chris, how many acres will this pond be once full? Great job !!!
I would have loved to eavesdropped on the conversation you had with the landowner as to how much more work you will have to do to undo the damage done and how much more it will cost him.
I hope the other guy is watching this maybe he will learn how it should be done
pork chop sadly, he is probably not the curious type. But you never know.
This fella that screwed up this piece of property, his mama must of dropped him on his head

Probably not. He collected his money and said see ya.
Almost looks like someone got new toys for Christmas and took them out to see what they would do and then packed up and left the mess behind for someone else to clean up.
I bet the previous contractor had a beef with the owner and did a lot of this on purpose

Can't wait to watch you turn that big old nasty pond into something beautiful. If anyone has the talent to do it, you do.
What a damn mess. It’s almost like he made that mess on purpose.
It truly does , and made it it high dollar to fix it
Folks with Grand ideas but Zero specific knowledge to achieve those dreams frequently Foul it up in Grand ways.
Been looking forward to this bomb site transformation. Sweet!
Got your hands full with this one Chris.
Chris, I bet the previous contractor who made this royal mess called himself a “pond expert”. If he did, boy was he wrong.
I’m official , received my safety orange letsdig18 shirt , my Amish neighbors in Lancaster pa are going to ask , WHEN ARE WE GOING DIGGEN !!!! LOL THANKS CHRIS
Greetings from York!
Greetings from Lebanon. I grew up in lititz!
Looks like there's enough logs to build a bridge across for the truck!
You definitely need to do a before and after video on this one, for sure!!!
Before/after drone shots!
For just a failed pond job, this is the biggest mess I’ve seen you have to deal with. Yikes!
I hope they got their money back from the dude! He was just playing around out there for money.
My guess is he dug out the access rd when or if he was tossed off the job

Looking at your mats, it's hard to believe that you recently got them.
It sure doesn't seem like the last guy tried saving those trees at all.
I’m Guessing the previous Contractor had two (2) Brothers and their Names were “Mo” & “Ron”. 🤪

Hi Lets Dig 18,
Would it be possible to put job name/numbers in the titles, or even something in the thumb nail? You do a lot of jumping around from video to video. At one site one day, and another site another day.

i would just start a burn pile in the pond heck with hauling it out and wasting the fuel , its already a disater to start
You’ve got yourself a good project there Chris. Good luck
I wonder if the previous “contractor” will ever see this video and realize what a half assed job he did.
Hopefully in court while he's in court trying to explain to the judge why he's not responsibly for the tree damage.

I feel so so sorry for the owners of this place, and especially bad for the trees, who in the heck and in their right mind, doesn't understand that if you damage a trees roots enough, it will die?!
So many years of growing, it would have given good shade to the pond, cover and protection for fish and wildlife, it is so sad :(
Hope the owners get to sue the life out of this idiot, for the damage made and money lost!
He probably have made so much dumb stuff during his work on other places that he will be bankrupt for life!
The previous contractor was just a dirt mover and left a mess for somebody else to clean up.Push it here leave it there and move on.I know you can't say who the guy was even if you know but it would interesting to hear the land owner say who and give his opinion.Good luck fixing this mess.
Another great video Chris, did Tim quit or what happened wedding because I haven’t been seeing you and I saw on one of the comments on one of the videos that he had quit and I was just wondering
You need to start calling these "guys" out. Senseless that people hire shady contractors to save a few bucks, only to have you fix it.
Chris, what happened to Tim? You are working on such large projects and you are having to do it by yourself.
I know people who make a good life out of fixing other peoples poor workmanship. Just proves always check a companies history before hiring for a job .
I like the filming of the work from the tripod. You can see what's going on much better
I hope there’s a lawsuit in progress for such atrocity. You should do some advertising for the company that does such “great” work.
For the Love Of God, will someone put a link to the next video in the comments for us poor swines who are watching this two years later🤔😭🤣
