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.👍
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.😁
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.
Good Lord, Chris! If anyone ever needed rocks, that animal hospital lot would be where to get them! What a nightmare, but they sure did provide you with some great material for an absolutely gorgeous retaining wall. Great video as usual. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
WOW Chris! Looking across the pond made your cabin look like a delicious slice of heaven! What a fabulous execution of your vision of a "peaceful little resting spot". Awesome job Chris! (Again!)
Absolutely beautiful Chris man that makes it look rustic, I would sit on the porch drinking coffee. Well we are having a Hurricane Party, the eye of the storm crossing over us.
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.
I always admire your work Chris, no matter the job. It's always "Quality" work. These stone walls really accent the cabin beautifully in my opinion. Great job sir!!
A superb digger operator + stone wall builder Chris it is looking great. Can't wait to see it finished may be some day i'll fly across the pond and rent it out it looks beautiful. So much has to go till your vision and how you do it for a end result in all your work. Congrats
Chris this grest collection from great Stone, a wonderful Material for a Landscape building. That You the Stone by Your Cabin working up is to understand! How You this by Pond Building have often make. You have a great Talent to this Work. The Wall building have You Perfect make. Thanks for this Video.
I have watched your videos since the beginning. Im from Winston Salem. This is the best video of all. Watching these natural rock walls take shape is awesome!!! Artist with a a mini ex paint brush!!
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
The Skill and Creativity of building that wall on the fly, much less the backfilling, all done in one afternoon. 5 ⭐. But really Chris, you set the standard way up there for backyard DYI. LOL. Well Done Sir.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your content. Your videos have been a great source of relaxation for me, especially when I'm feeling stressed or tired. Watching you work and seeing the progress you make really helps me unwind. The new cabin you built is absolutely fantastic, and the location by the pond is just beautiful. Keep up the amazing work!
Must be a real bonus working with an operator that shares your vision, much better than one who gives you the evil look when you change your mind, project coming together very nicely.
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.
Looks absolutely beautiful and climbing, looking forward to the final, green grass and some fall color a fire all reflecting in the pond. I could live there.
I must admit your Yanmar mini and grapple have impressed me. The mini for having the power to deal with those rocks and the grapple for the same reasons. It didn't strain or grunt once.
Picture perfect reflection. Yes the grass needs cutting but it can wait for a minute or two. Teasing the cattle - boys will never change :) Beautiful LetsDig18.
Playing with his cows ------Priceless!
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.

Great job Chris! 🪨🪨🪨🪵🪵🪵
Hello Vickie, Chris playing "rock tetris" is good. I'd guess he's a "Stone Mason as well".
I was thinking reverse ganga
Looking Awesome Chris!!! The cow was Hilarious 😂 THANKS for sharing 👍
beautiful work Chris, you nailed it with the rocks, lovely to see your tiler your cows are funny, happy birthday balloon
The moo moos are hilarious. Like curious cats! Wall turned out so nice.

Looking great Chris!!! I agree with the person below - that pic from across the pond would make a picture perfect jigsaw puzzle.
There's a post card right there, just pause it at 40:45 and look at the reflection on the pond. Absolutely beautiful. What a peaceful looking spot...
100%!

Absolutely awesome!! Thumbs up! Jim
Love the view Chris!! So relaxing and peaceful
Lovely job you're a real artist. If your pond has a feeder you just need to stock it with some nice trout and get yourself a flyrod. Cheers Phil
Now that is a beautiful reflection from across the pond !
Looks beautiful Chris
Fantastic setting & perfectly designed cabin Chris! Picture perfect ending shot!
Walls work. Chatting with the cows and them being so attentive, farm life is sweet. Looking real nice Chris.
OMG! Love it! ❤❤❤
Some screenings would make a nice relaxing walking path around the pond. Full circle back to the cabin. Just a thought. Wall looks great.
Beautiful setting from across the pond.👍
Very good job Chris. Damn good imagination on the rock wall
Its always a great feeling getting your rocks off.
I always admire your work Chris, no matter the job. It's always "Quality" work. These stone walls really accent the cabin beautifully in my opinion. Great job sir!!
Just started the video but I'm already excited to see a rock wall built!!! :D

That cow was actually trying to decide if it wanted that dirt shower you offered it.
As usual very nice work Chris beautiful cabin setting

Rumor has it that Chris' ancestors built the Pyramids and Stonehenge.
Cheers! Remarkable work!
The terraced rock walls turned out great Chris!
Balloon!! Good job on the wall..

You're a talented, hard working guy. Don't forget to set aside time to smell the flowers.

Moo Moo wants to play. Cabin looks really nice. The stone walls set it off nicely!
Love your cabin! Impressive rock work on the walls, putting puzzle pieces together.

Great looking Cabin looking up from the pond , you nailed it.
I missed you walking across the pond.thanks Chris love your videos
A fantastic job of dry-wall construction , well done Chris. Greetings from Australia
The rock terrace really accents the look of the pond and the cabin. Nice look I like it.
Building rock walls with the mini... now your just showing off 👊
Looks awesome!
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS ❤😊
Big rock by the pond, nice place to sit and fish.
A absolutely beautiful you have the eye for exterior dressing up the yard the rock at the pond edge is a nice touch 😊
WOW !!!! that looks amazing !!!
You made it look like you had a plan. That's always impressive. Gonna be a very nice place to hangout.

Nice job on the landscaping Chris!
That's going to be quite the oasis when it finished.
Looks awesome Chris!
Nice! The rocks add a rustic look I like. I could see myself by the fire pit on a nice summer evening.

Looks awesome. Nice to see the cows again and them having fun. :) Thank you and have a great week.
lil piece of heaven!!👍🏻
Your interaction with the cow gave me a good laugh. Thanks Chris! 😂
Nice video Chris, the rock walls really add to the cabin.
Building landscape walls like that are a lot of fun if you have a customer willing and can pay for their worth. Well done!
Looks great Chris
I must admit your Yanmar mini and grapple have impressed me. The mini for having the power to deal with those rocks and the grapple for the same reasons. It didn't strain or grunt once.
Cabin is looking awesome there Chris. Put the fire pit to the left (facing the cabin) away from the tree to give the tree a chance. Top job.
That’s awesome Chris .💯💯💯
Nice job. Looks Great!
The cabin and rock walls are looking great! Can’t wait to see more videos as you finish the cabin and grounds.
Looks great, picture postcard~
Picture perfect reflection. Yes the grass needs cutting but it can wait for a minute or two. Teasing the cattle - boys will never change :) Beautiful LetsDig18.
That’s going to look great once you get it done .
Man Chris, I love the reflection! Operating Engineer - yep. Cattle Farmer - yep. Landscape Designer - yep!
