      I loved how the cow was puzzled watching the dirt drop from the bucket. It shows they aren't just dumb walking hunks of steak, they're SMART walking hunks of steak!

    Once again I'll say it, when I have to deal with some bullshit around me, it's nice to know I can come here and watch a guy dig a hole, or like today, play with his rocks. Thanks Chris.👍

      I concur, sir. No matter how stressful the day I put on Let's dig18 and the drone of that motor puts me to rest every time!

    You should use the big rock for an engraved sign. Placed near the front of the cabin as a nice greeting for your guests.

    Well sir, my daughter had a landscape business for years., after I retired from my profession I worked for her for a couple of years, we did rock retaining walls and I loved building them, I am here to tell you that you did just an excellent job of building those walls, dry stack walls are drop dead gorgeous if done right and you did it perfect. What makes a wall stand out, in my most humble opinion anyway, is adding curves to them, it mimics nature, and it doesn’t get any better than that, nice build, thanks for the update, that made your cabin.

    Watching you play rock Tetris is so fascinating. You have the eye. And watching you with your moo moos is so much fun. It's nice knowing you like the cows and the cows like you. Thanks for such an enjoyable and relaxing video, Chris. It's been really fun.😁

      Hello Vickie, Chris playing "rock tetris" is good. I'd guess he's a "Stone Mason as well".

    Great Project. Looks Awesome!! Before you pour the concrete patio section, take that "too large" stone on the side of the cabin and place it in the patio area for a natural stone seat next to the fire pit. You may need to excavate a small depression, in a slight arc to get it to sit at the proper level, but it already has a nice curve to it to work well with the fire pit concept. Then you can pour the concrete slab all around it (add in some expansion felt around the base of the rock). Smores, dogs, burgers and some drinks 😊

    Cows are so funny. Most people don't realize how social they are. Cool pile of rocks and they were free. Even better. Well nothing is free when you have to transport. Wow nice stone walls and you are correct. It is a beautiful reflection in the pond. So glad you had the time to work on your own property. Thank you Chris. Good video.

    The Cabin area has that real Chris touch to it and love the rocks all around it, and down by the edge of the ond as well, Really praying that maple tree hangs in there and lives. Or you could always plant [ I said the word Plant } a few aborvities around there that I think would also looks really nice as well, just saying. Love the curves to it all, hate just stright rock walls, like the curves so much better, make it all flow better. Great job! Enjoyed the video.

    The retaining walls look great. They are a great addition to the back yard. I like that you made the one closest to the house with some curves in it. It looks so much better than a straight wall. You could use those big rocks as benches down by the water so people can sit on them and fish.

    Chris, that cabin with the stone gallery's looks absolutely wonderful, especially with the reflection of the pond in the scene! You are truly the master draughtsman of your projects, you have a look in your head, and you set things out to, when it's finished, looks so "just right", that it looks like it has been there for years! Superb craftsmanship, thanks for letting us view your work and skills. From UK.

    Not many things a guy can build that is as satisfying as building a rock wall. The puzzling and the dirt moving to support each rock is mentally challenging just a bit and the outcome is a thing of beauty

    Chris I am fairly new to the channel, I think a couple months, every time you get on an excavator I am more and more impressed. I started your channel when you built that huge lake/ pond, this retaining wall looks fantastic and the reflection from the other side of the pond, looks like a postcard, well done sir, the cabin looks great, cant wait until you make a beach like area, be well.
