One thing about making a pond, it makes a great borrow pit for job like this one. Of course you need the right soil. You have been lucky at this job. It will be nice to see the full dam being finished. The owner may even like your raised road, foregoing the bridge. One can never tell what the customer will finally decide. Builders and programmers know this from experience.. Thanks for more great video.
This is a cool project as we watch Chris demonstrate his mastery. At the same time, I am convinced many are watching and thinking, "It is great to have money to play around with." Some may think, "More money than brains," Others may think, "Money to burn, etc."
That place is going to be awesome by the time it's finished, glad they decided on stone abutments and bridge will definitely set that off better than a pipe through it, would be beautiful to canoe or even sail around there's going to be enough room great job.
Man, you defitely have to show a commented drone video of that big job. We can only guess at it size from bits and pieces. It must be a HUGE undertaking ! Please !!! You could definetely hire a geek kid and his drone to do it for you on the cheap !
For the heat/AC in that cab, visit a place that sells lawnmower parts. You can get a universal cable with a lever that you could install to control the heat. Might cost 20 bucks and a 1/2 hour.
Hells yeah! Chik Fil A from opening second. Solid choice my good man. Enjoy the time off and make sure to avail yourself of the sunshine state’s lenient open container laws. #cupholdersquad
I wish I was where you are with the AC on about that time of day, my tractors been running an hour to warm the cab up to do chores in -30oc the last while here in Canada . I'm finding lots of those heater controls are messed up and expensive when they leak heat through on tractors. When I say the proper part cost and suggest it, lots of guys just say cut the lines and put 2 ball valve shut off taps in the lines to the heater core. A few bucks in the hardware store and the problem goes away, lots of guys say the AC works better than when it was new after. It's just a shame on that truck it's a pain to lift the hood to get at the lines if you put taps in. I'm sure Timmy will be fine while you are away unless he has to undo drain plugs L.O.L. Your uncle seems to find his own trouble every time you go away, so you know that won't be a surprise. Hope you enjoy your Holiday, see ya when you return. Take care
Sounds alot like people up here had a steel bridge put over there 2 acre pond . Then they stone faced it. The bridge could hold triaxel truck, trailer and excavator . It was so they could have other side of pond worked on i guess. Seemed to have endless moneys to spend. Nice job for you.
I think he's working on a long weekend getaway place for Bill Gates, with what that job must be costing for just the pond without the house cost. Then they just decide to add a 40ft bridge just like that. It really makes me wonder when I see these house buying shows, how some of these guys get all this money to spend.
I'm surprised there isnt a way to plug in the camera in the new machine or at least charge it in the truck while on lunch... lol Oh well. That pond will look great with a bridge! I hope you can get a pic or timelapse of it while it fills up.
When I bought my 690elc 12 years ago, I had the co. Switch the hydraulic lines on stick and boom. It operates like my backhoe. Whenever someone else gets on It they can't operate it. Lol
Hopefully you do a video when you're in Florida I hope you enjoy your vacation and I'm sure Timmy will do well when you're gone but your uncle yeah you know LOL don't make a mess of everything LOL
It has electronics, so it would surely have provision to update firmware, profiles etc. But it sounds like Volvo are protective about this stuff, so instead of a nice useful USB port, it likely has a proprietary port similar to modern motor vehicles. You can buy USB sockets powered by 12Vdc. I have a double USB socket right above my truck's interior light so I don't need cables hanging down the screen to power the dash cam and GPS. It cost me NZ$15. Otherwise, I wonder if it has a cigarette lighter?
I never get to sit above the dumb trailer I load from time to time with the mini. Maybe once I sat above. And now they added wood slats and made the sides taller. It sucks. lol
What is the Title of first drone footage you did here? I have slept since then but would like to rewatch for a comparison. Have a great weekend and vacation!
I want to do projects like that. But here in Western PA Rex energy and the neighbors screwed me over so there's no Marsellus gas right royalties coming my way. Maybe the next life.
I use to run big Draglines & Clamshells in the Rock Quarries in the Miami area, Lima 2400s mostly and Bucyrus Erie Draglines in the Coal strip mines in Indiana and YES, I can’t Stand ANY Rocking while operating... Not at ALL. 😩👎
Yep breakout the 270 Browning and shoot a deer that's standing on top of that damn from the porch, yeah I'm jealous I can't believe the size of that Lake and things going to be big great video Chris
Had a pond built in my back yard this past summer. Killed a nice 9 point from porch that was standing on Pond damn in November! With.....a .270. You spying on me?? Lol
I once worked on a new construction house and that guy was hyper paranoid about security and he had a moat built around his house and yard! Only way it was the driveway and he had cameras in trees and sensors in the ground so a doorbell ring sounded when someone was 100 feet away and 500 feet away. The moat was 50 feet wide and a couple thousand feet long. Crazy dude!
At first I was confused,there's no dark tint on the Windows so I was thinking 220 at the house pad job....had to fetch doer and haul truck...once you started showing the big dam y'all just built it completely caught me off guard....parlor tricks.
drone footage would be very helpful---there's no water there now , why let the lake fill if your just going to lower it again to remove the road your making for house construction , and wouldn't it be easier to build the bridge, whatever it's gonna be, without water there???
Chis. When i first started watching you tube stuff. I didnt think it would stick. But. I gotta say bud. U been running excavator for almost 35 year. And have owned a pile of them. But gotta tell yha. Grear videos. And you really know your sh--t.
Raising a road is like raising a pyramid...it has to be raised from the bottom using the pyramid's base area to determine real volumes of dirt needed. I see you had knowledge of that as was expected...lol.
You finally got some t-shirt weather to work in, and you decide to go on a vacation? wth Chris !! haha btw, how the heck are we supposed to survive, not having vids for a week?
hey if you haven't had them moles on your neck checked out DO it I had one and let it go for years became skin cancer had a place big as a silver dollar cut out
That truck has been a huge asset for you! Definitely makes things more efficient. 70’s would be nice it was 18 here today for the high 😒
Western Kansas had 22 with a nice 30 mph breeze.
Barkley Gentry oh funny the wind was blowing like crazy here Thursday I think it was 16 but felt like -3

It would be cool to see a time lapse of it filling when the time comes
He will. Most of the time.
Chris, you have some very good help. I love watching y’all work.
A bridge will be a nice touch. Evidently these people have pretty deep pockets. In the end it'll be a spectacular place to live. Thanks for the video.
This is a cool project as we watch Chris demonstrate his mastery. At the same time, I am convinced many are watching and thinking, "It is great to have money to play around with." Some may think, "More money than brains," Others may think, "Money to burn, etc."
That's what capitalism is. People who have made money getting people who want money to do things for them. Goes round and round.
Wow. Thats got to be one hell of a price tag for this project. Nice work so far Chris.
Shout out from Upstate NY -- it's 15F right now, we won't see 70F until May, lol. Thanks for the great videos!
Very nice job Chris, have a great vacation......
Chris we will miss the videos but I hope you really enjoy your vacation!
That place is going to be awesome by the time it's finished, glad they decided on stone abutments and bridge will definitely set that off better than a pipe through it, would be beautiful to canoe or even sail around there's going to be enough room great job.

That is really nice dirt for the task you're accomplishing!
Thanks Chris, Enjoy the Hot Weather 🖐 😎 🤙
I worked outside with me letsdig18 sweatshirt amongst other cold weather gear started out at 8 degrees then up to 18. Was a good day.
Great Job so far . Enjoy your Vacation in the sun have a few BEERS for all of us .

As usual good video, good narration. Have a great vacation!
Love the video Chris and have a good vacation.

That looks great a lot of work

What a sweet job. Awesome 👍
Great as always, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Spring Break Bound !!! lololol Have a Great time Chris.......
It was -40 this morning without wind chill in Regina saskatchewan Canada, which is the middle of the Canadian prairies.
For the heat/AC in that cab, visit a place that sells lawnmower parts. You can get a universal cable with a lever that you could install to control the heat. Might cost 20 bucks and a 1/2 hour.
Shaping up nicely.
Hells yeah! Chik Fil A from opening second. Solid choice my good man. Enjoy the time off and make sure to avail yourself of the sunshine state’s lenient open container laws. #cupholdersquad
Damn Chris rub it in it was five below this morning we made it to a high of toasty 25 degrees today in northeast Kansas ...😬
Let tim keep the camera while your gone, be safe. Bring some warm weather back when you come home from Florida.
24 degrees and snowing today which only happens every 4 years or so. we bought property in Daytona, but are too busy to do anything with it right now.
Be sure to stock up on Volvo paint before you leave...might need it when you get back! Lol
Too hot for anything more than shorts here, about 85 f but it is our summer down under. Will look real purdy with a bridge.

My 1936 truck had and has valves on the heater hoses.

Nice work, out of curiosity whats it for? Nice area for housing or some resort that wants a pond for fishing?
Gotta give Tim the camera when your gone so we can see the work through his eyes
nice shirt, it was -12 this morning, high expected of 32* -
I hope y'all get to take it out
Where they going to put all that dirt after they get the bridge built and it would be awesome to see that after it's all finished
70°??? It was a balmy 5° this morning here in Michigan.
A cable inside a tube is called a Bowden Cable.
Is that a crack in the front windshield???
I was thinking, doesn't that Volvo have a power port myself.

Adapt and overcome! Semper Fi
Love the videos! Are you going to Richie Bros when you are in Florida
I never get to sit above the dumb trailer I load from time to time with the mini. Maybe once I sat above. And now they added wood slats and made the sides taller. It sucks. lol
Oh yeah that battery is pretty good on that camera
What is the Title of first drone footage you did here? I have slept since then but would like to rewatch for a comparison. Have a great weekend and vacation!
Saw your silver dump truck come thru Warrenton today. Are y’all working up this way?
Mix it in with some good Joe dirt, lol
I want to do projects like that. But here in Western PA Rex energy and the neighbors screwed me over so there's no Marsellus gas right royalties coming my way. Maybe the next life.
First comment to memyselfand ifarmer

just ordered one of your shirts today.
enjoy your time in Florida my sister lives there and she says it's hot and sticky like always
My God you have tons of clay!
Nice!!!
Hey what's those brown things on your feet?
I guess this is what a millionaire can do. Wow!
I once worked on a new construction house and that guy was hyper paranoid about security and he had a moat built around his house and yard!

Moat have alligators?
@@animenut69 no it was in Kentucky
Are you going to Richy brothers auction while ur down there?
Where are you diggin at
Are you going to south Florida?
Chris tell us how many "its.bitsy,teeny weenie,yellow polka dot bikini girls you find in Florida!" lmao.
Temperature went from 60 to 30 like it saw cop. Any way to charge the camera in the machine?
Let Tim get us a few vidjas next week!
That ain't a pond.
It's a full sized lake with depth to do scuba dive training. Wave Runner race training and more.
So two pond? Kinda?
I wish we had 70 degree weather
Hey look sunshine forgot what that looks like
What area in Florida
That’s going to be a lake instead of a pond
At first I was confused,there's no dark tint on the Windows so I was thinking 220 at the house pad job....had to fetch doer and haul truck...once you started showing the big dam y'all just built it completely caught me off guard....parlor tricks.
😁 send us a video from the beach
chris you Need to put a letsdig18 sticker on your machine or use stancell graphics
Chris, are you going to Daytona for speed week?
Just think, numerous future surgeons are about to graduate medical school with perfect grades, but nowhere near as steady hands.
drone footage would be very helpful---there's no water there now , why let the lake fill if your just going to lower it again to remove the road your making for house construction , and wouldn't it be easier to build the bridge, whatever it's gonna be, without water there???
LegendLength A fool and his money are soon parted 😏
Those Florida breaks won’t pay for themselves after all.
Chis. When i first started watching you tube stuff. I didnt think it would stick. But. I gotta say bud. U been running excavator for almost 35 year. And have owned a pile of them. But gotta tell yha. Grear videos. And you really know your sh--t.
When you coming our way to dig some boulders?
Seems odd to ruin what will probably be a nice scenic pond with an isthmus right in the middle of it.
Raising a road is like raising a pyramid...it has to be raised from the bottom using the pyramid's base area to determine real volumes of dirt needed. I see you had knowledge of that as was expected...lol.
Not working in socks today😋
You finally got some t-shirt weather to work in, and you decide to go on a vacation? wth Chris !! haha
btw, how the heck are we supposed to survive, not having vids for a week?
Have you ever started digging and realize you unearthed an old graveyard or something unexpected?
Not enough MUD!
If you are in the 250, and Tim is in the haul truck, who is running the dozer?
Tim was in the dozer. It might be his uncle.
His grandma
I think it was the grim reeper
His evil twin.
You mean to tell me that equipment doesn't have a cigarette lighters or USB port to charge your camera,
Is Timmy going to be uploading videos in your absence? Your subs will go through withdraw without their daily fix.
hey if you haven't had them moles on your neck checked out DO it I had one and let it go for years became skin cancer had a place big as a silver dollar cut out
These people must have money to burn.
kidthump first thing I thought too!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing.
I suppose they do. Nice to see they are spending it on a nice project.
4-5 acre pond = $50/60k
House = $300-600k
Not that much
Or they have a mortgage
You need a vacation after this jobs trial's
Why dont you guys ever use rotortilts?
R u gonna let Tim take over the camera for the week u gone
We can only hope !
