    Sure glad this one popped up.
    It would have been a bummer day if we didn't have a Chris Letsdig18 episode to watch with dinner.
    Always like Chris and Uncle John working together episodes.
    They're definitely a really good team on jobs.

    Chris raises the pond level! Up here in CT, you'd probably have to get the DEP involved and do a study to see if the Egrets legs are suffciently long enough to continue fishing...

      It’s far worse, I know of a pond with a failing dam for which it’s deemed will lead to loss of life when it fails and CT DEEP won’t let it be drained because it has an invasive weed!
