Terrific camera placement while working on the spillway (placing neighbor’s concrete). Perfect speed because it was moving with the bucket but not so close that everything flew by. Your videos keep getting better.
I never knew as to how much trouble and maintenance you need to do just to keep a pond. You are always repairing peoples and its amazing as to what water can do over time.
We had big mats like those at work but a section of wood removed with a huge bolt through so a way to hook a hook for chains to pick them up with our yard cranes. Back when they would load mining trucks on barges. Plus a way to use them to help store mining trucks on the ground less tire assemblies
True complement! Usually the helpers/assistants are as good as the Trainer/Owner. It all depends if there willing to improve themselves for a better future.
Nice Job Chris and Tim. Always good to see work being done right like if your doing it for yourself otherwise Why do it! Didn't understand why you didn't move the logs and stump out and let it rot on top of dry land but, I guess that's what the owner wanted. If your ever interested in coming down to Miami and seeing what it's like in digging and working with the toughest ground possible (Key Stone, Coral Rock, Moral). Let me know open invite and Hell we might even do a little dolphin fishing in the Keys! From "Fine Finishes and Demo" Stay Safe and Keep up the great Earth Work your doing daily!!
you do good work....but all of those trees needs to go... they can't have tress growing on a dam without major trouble coming fast... you could see how many roots were in the soil you dug up.
Great Job Chris !! I think that was within hours of just completely Blowing out, Man, you guys done an awesome job on that one... Great as always !! Have a Great Evening ...An Stay Safe....
Gotta say, I'm not too fond of that thumb design on the Yanmar, the tines are way too far apart and too thin. And that relief valve squeal ! Damn, that would make me nuts!!!
In my back yard i have a creek like that over flow and for 70 yards it goes under ground and comes out into a big deep pool with a water fall type run off. I havnt figured that out yet.
What did you do with all the good soil? Wouldn't it been good to put it back on top and plant grass seed? Also, what about putting some rock down for the spillway?
Another great video from you Chris and you always leave a job clean and very tidy and looking fantastic to watch you on the mine and using the thumb on it just leaves me in our of your hand eye coordination I can operate a 360° machine but with the other extras you have on the U,S, we very rarely see that in the UK, keep making your videos for as long as possible and you and Your's star safe.
I've noticed there's an awful lot of pond repair videos? People can't build ponds right in your neck of the woods. lol I realize that's your specialty and all, just seems like a lot. Thanks for the the video's all the same.
You know you can slow that jerky machine boom down a little and gain a little pull power by moving your ram connection out to the second hole under the boom. That thing would drive me crazy jerking around like that.
hi chris .i love your channel all the way from the UK ..great content and very informative mate you'd think watching a guy drive an excavator would be boring but nope you'd be wrong it's actually great to watch you at work ..you're such a pro mate and tim also keep it up buddy i look forward to your uploads ..take it easy and stay safe ..
I've said it before, I don't know how you do it. Around my area, if two beavers meet in a stream, they have to get local, state and federal permits!! I'm serious, if you even look at a stream while in a piece of equipment around here, you will have half the alphabet up your ass with grins on their faces and dollar signs in their eyes.
Here in Scotland these sort of culverts and spillways have been hugely damaging to migratory fish populations and we spend an extraordinary amount of time and money resolving these issues. I suppose it all depends on the species and the impact this work has on wildlife and the environment. I watch all these videos as I was a contractor before I became involved in fishery management and am interested to see Chris at work but we certainly wouldn't get away with things like that here now.
That job wasn't too tough now it's just water under the bridge. Dam that's funny! If you don't get it, let that wash over and sink in for a bit... ...and if that's too much to pack in I'll try not to dump so much next time.
There cant be a more perfect place for micro hydro electric plant. A Turgo on the outlet end of that pond and they don't have to pay for electric anymore. What a waste of a free resource.
I thought wow Chris must be having a bad day then I realized it you were not running the 330 Cat excavator, seemed like the guy was a little green behind the sticks.
Damn nice job healing that channel in... come own lol. Is it just me or is it everytime you run the mini it sounds like music from the hydraulics? Just listen lol... Love the vids man... keep em comin 👍
Seems like the main spillway is not wide enough to relieve big downpours. The owner should consider a hydraulic study, or at least increasing the width of the spillway channel.
became of fan of your channel last year. You really make pretty awesome content. question what has been your fav machine to use over that last couple of years , i know there alot to pick from. thank in advance. -zachary

It would be nice if you could
come back here this summer
and show what it looks like
when everything grows again.
One more good rain that pond would have been done for excellent job done by LETSDIG18 crew 😎👍👍👍
Your Volvos are going to get jealous lol. That dam probably couldn't withstand another rain. Great job guys. Stay healthy we all need your videos
Project is progressing Nicely. This will Solve the Dam Issue. The Completed work looks Great! 👍

Tim is doing an awesome job. He’s a great student and he’s got the best teacher.
You and Timmy are a great team. This young guy is a plus to your company. He's definitely a keeper !
Tim does not always get positive comments, so it is really nice to see a poster giving the lad a big up.
True complement! Usually the helpers/assistants are as good as the Trainer/Owner. It all depends if there willing to improve themselves for a better future.
You didn’t even hurt the pretty red flower, how nice of you!
A good ending to what could have been a dangerous situation. Thank you Chris, great video.

Well done the both of you in these hard times we are all having all around us..!
I sure appreciate the wide variety of projects you show. Way cool.
Another fantastic job completed. You really do nice work.
looks good chris,now no more water can get in there and flood anything anymore.perfect.keep up the good work there chris.
That's a beautiful pond area!
Looks a helluva lot better than ot did yesterday. Looks fantastic. I sure miss operating heavy equipment
Nice job looks great! It’s cool seeing how this job came out after looking at it first hand
Your turn next Brandon!!!! 🤣🤣
@@alexosborne5629 who is Brandon ?? just started watching about a month ago ,,
That deep hole looks like a good place for some busted up concrete and other fill.
Almost as good as the repair of Oroville dam.
oroville dam
Good job!
A new sport ! -
“Yanmar Chunk Flinging” You make it look so easy. Have you tried playing horse shoes with the minis yet?
The dam repair and overflow look great!
Nice art of modeling guys! Stay strong and safe. ;-)
Its entertaining to see a 300-pound hunk of concrete go flying, and landing in the perfect spot!
Another job in the books, Chris! A beautiful job and work as expected from you and Tim! Thanks for the video!
You are manufacturing a beautiful waterfall for the customer.
I've used the T12 and loved but haven't got to try the new ones but I'd have to say my favorite is still my TL250 the T12 are the equivalent of a D4
Caleb Herbert you cant beat those 250s 👍🏻
I like that you didn't kill the flowers, lol.
Great job and finished of well with that fancy gadget on the flat bucket. Will agree with others Tim dose work in well with you bro. Stay safe

My dad was an excavator. I loved to go with him sometimes. I love the smell of the earth when he would first break it open.
thanks for the show as we are staying home good job
Did you consider installing a stronger temporary bridge? So you could have dump the clay closer. Reduce staging time.
Chris,vous êtes un artiste de la pelle mécanique 👏👏👏👏
Chris,you are an artist
This needs a Juan Browne flyover and narration!
You guys do nice work. That always makes for a good business. You guys be safe when you’re out in public. 👍☕️🍩
An excellent job Chris 👍
Gotta say, I'm not too fond of that thumb design on the Yanmar, the tines are way too far apart and too thin. And that relief valve squeal ! Damn, that would make me nuts!!!
And they bleed off every 20 minutes got to keep sucking em up
How much fill did that take? Bet he is glad he didn’t wait a few more rains before he called you.
The pond owner would be smart to have a bridge across the spillway like the temporary one you guys used for future maintenance.
No necessarily just needs to be anchored down to the walls on each side.
This is another video were I am not really sure what your doing until the end. Nice job
Watch part 1 . It will all come to you 🖒
@@heithdotysadventures7824 I did and he still surprised me.LOL
wow...that is beautiful! Amazing. I hope Tim realizes how lucky he is to have the opportunity to work and learn from you, Chris.
Nice job Chris, and such a pretty area! :-)
Both you and Tim did a brilliant job, well done! :-)
You sure came across some nice mudmats there.
Nice working bro 👍👍👷🏻♂️👍
Looks amazing thumbs up my friends
Looks like the minis are the money makers this week
In my back yard i have a creek like that over flow and for 70 yards it goes under ground and comes out into a big deep pool with a water fall type run off. I havnt figured that out yet.
Next flood takes the dam only thing left is your patch. Some of that should've had clay in it but looked like poor top soil.
That was a close call. Sure nice fix
What did you do with all the good soil? Wouldn't it been good to put it back on top and plant grass seed? Also, what about putting some rock down for the spillway?
Good watch the first part to this . It will all come together as to y
Very good job as usual guy's , ho your bucket is bent .
Nice job! Looked touch and go for a minute there! How much does the mini weigh?
Nice job Chris great video enjoyed watching
nice job chris stay safe guys!!
Another job done well and well done.👏🏻👏🏻👍

You do awesome work. Great job!
Did the landfill site have a future use...housing, playing field, industry?
Great job Chris 👍👍
And the most important thing. The blooming azalea survived unscathed!
My company really needs one of those articulating buckets our filial grades would take half the time
Love them red flowers all by there self.
Nice Chris, sculpting with clay :) it really looks good!

Very well done! Great job for sure !
Nice job!
You guys are brilliant to watch, really loving the videos! 👍
Great video Chris as usual it turned out to be a damn good looking job you and Tim stay safe man and have a blessed day
Hey Chris do you guys ever hold onto material for later use on future projects?
Man u guys always get some interesting jobs. Awesome job man as usual
You know you can slow that jerky machine boom down a little and gain a little pull power by moving your ram connection out to the second hole under the boom. That thing would drive me crazy jerking around like that.
yeah
You know someone on a bicycle is thinking, Fresh Dirt, "Grand Canyon", Evil Knievel or is that just the child in me coming out.
You guys do nice work!
Don't let that big cat boss you around!

If I ever find myself needing a hole moved, I'm calling you.
What was the little red flowers. Amazing job as always. Cornwall UK.
@@bottomlands we have them here too. In parks as well as miniatures in gardens. I couldn't see them clearly. Thank you.

Wow Chris that was a very Quiet Dump. Most Dump Truck Drivers let the Tailgate Slam.

Curious, why you left the logs and stump lying in the fishing hole?
good place to get rid of them
@@letsdig18 Well I bet the neighbors downstream will be happy with that decision on the first high water
@@jimvincent6408 that's there problem till then it will slow down the bank loss for a bit till they do wash down ..
I thought wow Chris must be having a bad day then I realized it you were not running the 330 Cat excavator, seemed like the guy was a little green behind the sticks.

Boy I betcha could spread peanutbutter with that mini!!! #keepdigging
Great job
Another good job in the books . On to the next one lol
Seems like the main spillway is not wide enough to relieve big downpours. The owner should consider a hydraulic study, or at least increasing the width of the spillway channel.
Another great job
I know it is probably cost prohibitive but that whole dam needs cutting out and redoing.
Would it have been recommended to it a few of those trees away?
If you’re going to be the dump truck driver can you give us Tim’s TH-cam channel? 😁
Follow Tim on Instagram and you get to see the behind the scenes stuff.
