Happy Thanksgiving man! Wow that us quite the job at the driving range. You can tell there was no pre planning for water runoff lol. That will be a fun job, I could be available to run the skid steer again 😁. Good to see the stuff we worked on holding up and the grass came in nice. Man Winston is getting big!
Good to see Justin.....too infrequent to see the Buddies together! Winston is just an absolutely handsome Dalmatian....and, as you say, growing so much! Great to see the update on the Vet Clinic project. Happy Thanksgiving to you, David, and family! 🦃 God's blessings. P.S. The farm videos NEVER get old, and much appreciated.
I would terrace that hill for retaining walls so there isn’t so much runoff that is concentrated. And you can work with grades in your favor and not fight gravity as much
There's definitely a lot of liability with the wall on that job. I'm surprised that wall hasn't had problems considering all of the soil movement. Happy Thanksgiving Chris.
Happy Thanksgiving @letsdig18 and everyone else! Looks like your cows want to take the feed before you could dump it. The screening look real good where you put for your cows. Stay Strong, Stay Safe, and always Stay Positive!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family. You going to have to do a tour of your house I love the way it looks on the outside. Appreciate all the great videos this year btw.
Happy thanksgiving from down under. Even once you put in your culvert there's still going to be alot of surface area to collect water. If they will let you put in a second culvert along the top of the wall to the lowest point with a sump that is piped out through the wall to the nearest draining point. Pipe may look a little average but no mud. An idea that may or may not help. Loving your days in the life of Chris. Great work all year mate.
Happy thanksgiving to you ole Chris, let nothing be amiss. May the Turkey Be Stuffed and the yams get topped with fluff. the Family gatherings be great and Everyone has a full plate.
Looks like you might need two diversion swales. One at the top of the hill to divert the drainage from the woods (could be a diversion berm) and another one along the top of the wall to pick up the runoff off the steep slope.
Thanks! That giant hill slope job looks like a time but I'm sure you'll figure it out. I'm thankful for excavator operators. Had a local guy drop off a few yards for me because he was working on an adjacent property..
I've built a few retaining walls, and they're supposed to have a thick layer of crushed stone running up the back of the wall, all the way to the top. However, some builders cut corners on that, and only fill the block. Well, it's a headache to put in, you have to put in a layer of filter fabric, and keep the stone and soil separated. And the damn geotextile is in the way. But if you don't, you get the problem you're seeing there, and even worse, if the water doesn't drain, it'll freeze and heave the wall. So, before you throw a lot of time and money at it, maybe dig down a foot or so, behind the wall, and see if the stone chimney is actually there, and just covered over with runoff mud. And, if it isn't there, you have to step back from the wall at least ten feet, or you'll dig down into the geotextile that holds the wall in place. Good news, I know, but Happy Thanksgiving, just the same!
Happy thanksgiving Chris. Heck I didn’t know how close you are to us and we never compete on jobs. I also do alot of basements also and try to stay central as possible if doing lots and all..but hope you and your family have a great holiday and stay safe.
Happy Thanksgiving driving range is going to be a tough one. Just knock the entire hillside down and place a taller retaining wall with large drain below lol
Don’t mean to be a armchair quarterback and I am sure you see it but cut a swale in at the top of the hill by the woods also. Just a thought that I would rather catch the water before it comes down behind the wall.
On that golf job would making the slope into a couple of wide steps with a drain on each work to take the rain water away. Was nice to see Justin riding along too. All the best for your thanks giving.
That huge slope probably should have been terraced when they were building the place, but they didn't want to pay the extra money it'd cost. Must have some pretty hefty engineering we're not seeing because a block wall that tall really shouldn't still be standing yet while holding back that much earth. I was honestly surprised when you walked to the base of the wall and seen it is block. Anyway, thanks for the animal hospital update. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving Chris.
Happy Thanksgiving Chris.. appreciate the great content you supply along with the chance to learn little tips and secrets from a real professional operator!!
Same to you Chris, have a great day. Hope and your boy Justin have an awesome day despite the weather! Sending you best wishes from the UK. All the very best. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧😂😂
Happy Thanksgiving Chris to you and your family. I hope you and your family stay safe and well. I would just like to say thank you for all the wonderful videos. Just over 12 months ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a lot of down time both on hospital and home. Thankfully the treatment appears successful so far and I'm back to work. During the hard days your videos helped take me some place else and I throughly enjoyed each video and eagerly awaited each new video. They got me through the hard times. A very big thank you from Ireland
Happy Thanksgiving, Chris I like your videos. I recently retired from a mining company and I enjoy watching you working on your projects. From New Kingston Jamaica.
The golf sports driving range retaining wall looks like a job that will need a lot of planning. Building catch swell drains to stop the under ground movement will be a feat. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Your puppy has learned how to be a teenager , will not listen with a mind of it own. LOL.
Chris may you and family have a great Thanksgiving. Everyone has a idea what to do about the driving range. But as always what is the budget they are willing to spend. The Cadillac plan or the Chevy plan. Ps thanks for the update about the animal hospital.
Chris. I would suggest that the washout by the large steel poles is occurring from underneath the field and not off the surface. You might want to seriously consider pulling in a geotechnical consultant. Have you got access to the original landscape plans for this job?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Chris. A thought about the golf driving range. Possibly a cement trough before it gets to the retaining wall. I don't know if you can do concrete or not? That job is challenging that is for sure. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Ed
The driving range job looks terrific, nice an green to bad they didn't have the same grade of materials to work with that you did. I remember you saying they wanted you not to leave marks of having been there. I can see your work from their grounds keepers work. hahaha! Thank you for the look back and Happy Thanksgiving you and hours!
Happy Thanksgiving chris and justin I just love it when you get together with justin yall are so funny I always wait for yall to work together again cuz I get a kick out of yall I just laugh when I watch yall working happy th
U too Chris thxs so much for your hard work and giving us So much entertainment
Could you build the wall .A taller or .B a second wall 5 ft back from that one and soften the slope
Every day a new adventure....looks like fun!
Happy Thanksgiving man! Wow that us quite the job at the driving range. You can tell there was no pre planning for water runoff lol.

@@littlefinkle7757 thanks man Happy Thanksgiving to you

love the farm videos
Thanks Chris, for all the work that you do so well.
You to Chris. Thank you for all you do.
I would terrace that hill for retaining walls so there isn’t so much runoff that is concentrated. And you can work with grades in your favor and not fight gravity as much
I was thinking the same thing.
Good to see the animals healthy and happy.
And Winston is handsome.
There's definitely a lot of liability with the wall on that job. I'm surprised that wall hasn't had problems considering all of the soil movement. Happy Thanksgiving Chris.
Looks like that driving range could do with 1 or 2 more walls being built to tier the slope off and install French drains behind every one of them!
Winston is definitely Growing and he is Adorable. Congratulations on the New Baby Calf. 👍
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for all you do for us working all the time and coming home and posting the most amazing videos ever! God bless Chris🇺🇸
You as well Chris...Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. Thanks for the education.
Happy Thanksgiving @letsdig18 and everyone else! Looks like your cows want to take the feed before you could dump it. The screening look real good where you put for your cows. Stay Strong, Stay Safe, and always Stay Positive!
look forward to watching more of what your doing next year chris ..enjoy your turkey see you next year friend...
Yeah I remember that job, looking great Chris! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That dog is growing up fast. Chris be safe and happy turkey day
Happy Thanksgiving....nice to see Winston again 😁
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too! Yes, he’s grown a lot since his first appearance. As I said, he’ll do 40mph quite easily.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family. You going to have to do a tour of your house I love the way it looks on the outside. Appreciate all the great videos this year btw.
I always like seeing the results of your job after things have grown back!
Happy thanksgiving to you. Much to be thankful for. Hi Justin! You too.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Chris, and to your family and friends. Thanks for all your videos, love watching them!
I'd run away from that job. Some serious re- engineering needed there.
Happy Thanksgiving Chris, Justin, Winston and all!
_Thanks for the many years of entertainment and learning!_

Thanks for the animal hospital update! Pretty interesting project at the driving range.
You boys giggle like school girls when you're together. 😂 It's great!

nice herd... you guys should consider some tree swallows for fly control
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of your Old Betsie's! 😉😀

At the animal hospital, it looks like they blasted everything BUT those 2 big rocks in the pond. LOL
Happy Thanksgiving driving range is going to be a tough one. Just knock the entire hillside down and place a taller retaining wall with large drain below lol
That would be hard as there is a 4 lane highway just beyond the trees.
Golf balls makes great targets. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽!
Happy Thanksgiving Chris and to all your family. Stay safe from that damn Covid, young Man !
Marc from Montréal, Québec.
If I were you two (2), I’d quickly get back in your Truck and tell Justin to floor it back Home. 😬👍
Happy Thanksgiving Chris.
Looks like some good old simple fun 👍🏻
Don’t mean to be a armchair quarterback and I am sure you see it but cut a swale in at the top of the hill by the woods also. Just a thought that I would rather catch the water before it comes down behind the wall.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family , and my USA friends.
Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your families too.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
the belly is probably what they thought would control the water but they didn't put in a french drain to drain the water
Great insight into your work. Looking forward to seeing you working at the golfing range
Same to you Chris, have a great day. Hope and your boy Justin have an awesome day despite the weather! Sending you best wishes from the UK. All the very best. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧😂😂
Well Chris, you and Justin enjoy Thanksgiving. You need to do more projects with Justin, you two are a hoot to watch and listen to.

Happy Thanksgiving Chris....Thanks for sharing your hard work .... Winston is growing fast, the little cutie
Happy Thanksgiving chris and crew! Thanks for the great year of videos! Always entertaining !🦃
Chris may you and family have a great Thanksgiving.
Everyone has a idea what to do about the driving range. But as always what is the budget they are willing to spend. The Cadillac plan or the Chevy plan.
Ps thanks for the update about the animal hospital.
Happy Thanksgiving Chris. Always enjoy your videos.
Happy thanksgiving to you and yours Chris, I'm sat in England, drinking ale and watching the NFL.
Have a GREAT Thanksgiving Chris.
Cut the bank to reduce the slope, grade the slope, create a ditch to accommodate run off Easier said than done. Good luck guys thats a real mess
Have a great Thanksgiving Chris. It's been a great year of videos. Keep em coming & we'll keep watching.
Chris. I would suggest that the washout by the large steel poles is occurring from underneath the field and not off the surface. You might want to seriously consider pulling in a geotechnical consultant. Have you got access to the original landscape plans for this job?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Chris. A thought about the golf driving range. Possibly a cement trough before it gets to the retaining wall. I don't know if you can do concrete or not? That job is challenging that is for sure. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Ed
Happy Thanksgiving, you add a lot to a positive life and blessed day. Really enjoy your work.
Chris
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family, and Winston zoomie too .🐕🐄🦓🐄🦓
Can you take the water 2 ways? Split it in the middle?
The driving range job looks terrific, nice an green to bad they didn't have the same grade of materials to work with that you did. I remember you saying they wanted you not to leave marks of having been there. I can see your work from their grounds keepers work. hahaha!
