This project completed by the BEST IN THE BUSINESS! 💯 The dam will stand the test of time, and look beautiful when the grass comes in! 👍 A jaw dropping transformation, Chris. 👏 You are THE POND KING! 🤴
So great to see everything done right and I overly enjoyed watching this whole project. Dam packed in with good clay, nicely leveled and sloped, super duty overflow box, top soil dressed, A proud Barney being part of the fleet.... Man you deliver a good finished product!!!
You are an absolutely awesome guy Chris! You were very sick and still showing up to work at 0700 each day and then after a long day, going home and editing and posting a video for us. I surely do appreciate that so thank you sir!
I stumbled upon the first video of this project from a month ago…WOW! what an amazing transformation, Chris! You REALLY converted a turd into a gorgeous gem of a pond system! Pat yerself on the back for all us fans! 👍👍👊👊💥💥💥💥
Chris, first off well done! In my opinion, this is the best job you have filmed to date! These large pond projects really give you a chance to show off your talents. Having the raw materials on site was a big plus for sure. It takes skill, imagination, and the right equipment to do the job you did on this pond. Kudos for working thru your sickness as you did. Most would have been M.I.A. I look forward to the next " Mini-Series" of Large pond transformation 101. 50 or 100 acres pond redo or build would be a subscriber magnet!
Awesome Job. Chris fought through flu, rain and fixing a mess from prior construction. I always look forward to seeing the before and after. The transformation is always a great calling card.
Mr Chris you sir are handier then a shirt with 2 pockets. Looks amazing great job on the project in it entirety. Hope you are able to rest an recover. Thank you for allowing us all to follow along with the process.
Such a wonderful conclusion to this project. I feel slightly sad that it's over if I'm honest?! The project / location became more familiar with each video, and it felt like I was turning up for work there, each day. A fantastic job! And as other have said, a definite revisit is needed on this one.
I feel the same way....a little sad that it's over but can't wait to see it full with grass on it...ready to get to the next job....just let me know time to clock in...
Just as I predicted, this has become my favorite LD18 video. I know these videos don't show the amount of time and effort that goes into these jobs, but I can say without any reservation... this job turned out to be nothing short of spectacular! I'd 'almost' give my left testicle to have you transform my little 3 1/2 acre pond into one of your masterpieces. The levee repair I had done last year leaves a lot to be desired...
it's amazing what you can do with a neglected pond Chris. love to watch a man at work who knows what he's doing. Great job, Great channel. love to watch your amazing skills with your equipment.
Chris. That project looks great that owner should be happy as a clam. Thank You for the video and takeing us on the walk along. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment 😁😎
Wow - I must admit, this was of my favorites. Knocked this one "out of the park"! I can't say enough about your work ethic and whatever you are doing, you do it right. Yep - I think this was one of the greats! Thanks Chris!
You are so smooth with that heavy equipment. It's like an extension, a magnification of yourself. Awesome. Your comments on how and why add a lot to the clips.
That’s the biggest project I’ve seen you do up to this point. Been watching your work for about 5 months to date. Turned out to be the nicest job I’ve seen you do.
I still think the veterinary clinic was the hardest job. They removed the top soil and found out the whole site was solid rock and needed to be blasted and removed.
@@GKsGS400 That was a doozy. Then the crew came in to hammer the rock and missed a bunch and had to come back like 3 different times because Chris just kept finding rock. That had to have taken a mental toll on Chris as well. By far the toughest job I've seen on this channel, not only for Chris, but also for the equipment.
@@GKsGS400 The first video I watched was the one where he went and recovered a rental excavator that was buried up to the cab door and he used matting allowing him to get out to it. I said to myself ( this guy has it together ) been watching his videos ever since.
@@keithashline505 There's also one where he goes to his buddy's property and drives a mini out of the mud when his friend couldn't get it out. Was cool seeing how he broke the suction on it and pulled it out under it's own power.
Absolutely beautiful work, quality craftsmanship. That's what built this great nation. They must be ecstatic with the results. I can't wait to see it full and the damn covered in grass.
Must be my favourite project so far. :) Looks absolutely great. I can almost imagine it all greened in where it should be. ;) Hope you go back for those shots of it too later. Thanks for the whole series and all the new camera angles along the way Chris. Top stuff. :) You sound a lot better now too. ;)
This has been an awesome pond series, been excited to see a new video upload notification when I come home from work. Such a great job and so sad to see series ending. Keep more pond video's coming! Please give us and updated video when pond fills up. Thanks!
Awesome project Chris, it must be really satisfying for you to be able to pull a job this significant utilizing all your own plant and equipment, apart from the roller. You've come a long way in the 6 or 7 years I have been tagging along. A great achievement mate well done.
Beautiful! (Please chicken wire that cement hole..? baby duckies ! Wildlife rehabber here- I can't tell you how many baby animals especially ducks I've retrieved from sewer grates ugh.) Moms walk over babies fall in) Thanks so much for helping water fowl have a great pond to land in , awesome!!!
Excellent renewal, will stand the test of time. Your planning and progressive steps are very skillfully thought out and conceived. Would like to see this after summer with all the grass grown and any follow up to the dam road surface. Great job!
Absolutely incredible transformation!! The KING of mud & dirt has spoken!! You did a spectacular job!! The last 10 minutes of this video would be an awesome advertising video to send out to prospective customers! You can't argue with perfection! On to the next one. Take Care, Jim
What a difference! You have really improved that piece of property ten fold. I’m like the rest of the viewers hope you can find the time to take some drone shots after the pond fills and the grass comes up. I have watched and seen a lot of damns put in but, never anything like you. Great videos and thanks for sharing all of them with us!
I sure like watching your videos. They are great. Like the before and after. Forgot about you cleaning up the other end of pond oppeset pool dam. Great video.
Two thumbs up and hands in the air you did a super job and what a beautiful site wish we could go there and just kick back and relax and watch the water filled out it is amazing or great job Chris
Awesome transformation. Lots of dirt moved and a lot of team work to accomplish this operation. Really enjoyed this project. Hope you are feeling better.
When I was in construction 30 yrs ago I paid several hundred dollars every time we needed aerial shots. Nice work! Really wonderful that there are people out there who not only know how to do the job properly, but can also achieve the right balance with the customer so that they will pay to have the right thing done. Speaks volumes about you.
It is really amazing how you have turned that neglected pond into one that any of us would love to have on our property. Thank you for bring us along on your work days. We love watching your videos because it is a joy for my wife and I to be able to watch a craftsman that you are in turning all of the neglected pond into things of beauty. Keep up your great work and like you said on Dirt perfect pod cast you will never have to advertise for work. Thank You for all that you show us .
this has been the best transformation yet. I am very impressed with your ability to forsee the end result and use all of whats available. This is not just being a great operator it is also art.
WOW! This looks great! At the beginning I thought this is going to take forever. But you got it done even being sick. Congratulations on a job well done! 👏
What a great project with outstanding results, it’s been my favourite to watch it to completion You are a master of making good decisions with quality workmanship
Man Chris this has been one awesome job . You really know you stuff. I believe this man did his research when he hired you. He knew he had hired the absolute best man for the job. It looks magnificent brother. God bless you Chris and I pray you keep getting jobs as big as this one. Thankyou so much for sharing this content. I wait every day to see your content.
Wow Chris, standing ovation to you, Barney, and your fleet + crew!! I remember being so lost when you started this project and talked about your vision for it. But each episode brought all those plans to fruition and it turned out absolutely fantastic!! Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾 So is it back to the mud pit tomorrow?
Excellent job Chris, as always! Everything looks great my friend, I know the customer has to be completely satisfied with the ending results of his pond! I definitely know I would, you always qualify work Letsdig18 and we appreciate your hard work and know you suffered with your sickness issues! You always come through and we get to see, very much appreciate work on the job and getting these videos to us! Thanks for sharing and Chris I’m praying that you get fully recovered and finish with that cold brother, take care of yourself my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻ml👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
Wow! Amazing job from start to finish. You never cease to amaze me and my wife with your vision and forethought of how you plan on transforming something overgrown, run down into a beautiful masterpiece. But this is one job that I think (and everyone else by reading all the comments) that you should go back and let us see what it looks like once the pond is full and all the grass come up!! 👍
Another project to be proud of, a huge transformation to that dam. I looked forward to every video. The drone footage certainly shows the scale of the pond and how much you achieved.
💥Fantastic series and a outcome to be truly be proud of. I really expect you to get a nomination for a Grammy for this one. At the banquet don't be cracking any jokes about Mrs. DP and her camper she's never getting or Mike may feel the need to slap you down🤣. Really glad to see your dream coming together, you deserve all of it.👍🏼 The fleet is looking pristine.

Good place for a fishing class or a relaxing site
Stress absorber
When you started this project it looked like a monumental effort but you handled it like the pro you are.
So great to see everything done right and I overly enjoyed watching this whole project.
Dam packed in with good clay, nicely leveled and sloped, super duty overflow box, top soil dressed, A proud Barney being part of the fleet....
Man you deliver a good finished product!!!
Definitely hoping for a late summer flyover to see it full and green. Great work from a true craftsman and his team!
You are an absolutely awesome guy Chris! You were very sick and still showing up to work at 0700 each day and then after a long day, going home and editing and posting a video for us. I surely do appreciate that so thank you sir!
Wow Chris you knocked it out of the park on this project!!
No doubt about it. This set of videos are in your top ten. Great job! 👏

You're work is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Gracious, that was one heck of a job from start to finish. Excellent!!!!!

What a transformation is an understatement, phenomenal difference!

Loved this project.
I remain bewildered how many people can afford all this
Excellent renewal, will stand the test of time. Your planning and progressive steps are very skillfully thought out and conceived. Would like to see this after summer with all the grass grown and any follow up to the dam road surface. Great job!

It also increased the value of the property when and/or if it's ever up for sale/in property investment
I sure like watching your videos. They are great. Like the before and after. Forgot about you cleaning up the other end of pond oppeset pool dam. Great video.
This project has been so fun to watch, you made a huge improvement! Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us.

I'd be at work and those regular notifications of 10 acre pond videos made my day. Couldn't wait to find time later that evening to watch it.
Beautiful project. And to think you were sick for most of it. Awesomeness
Awesome transformation. Lots of dirt moved and a lot of team work to accomplish this operation. Really enjoyed this project. Hope you are feeling better.
Great job to you and your guys Chris. Love to see that pond dam middle of summer
Chris, luv the Look Back at the End !
Along with the Fly over, what a rehab job !
And yet another job very well done Chris so I am sure that Your customer is very happy with his new dam.

Nothing wrong with a quick job near home . Always like to see the projects after it’s been a while to see the grass grown in
thanks for the before and after comparison,you do great work even when your under the weather hope you feel better soon 👍👍👌
This is probably one of the nicest jobs you have designed. From what this started out with and whatnot ended up with. Pretty cool layout.
Since you are the A team it's Appropriate to what they always said I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER Get to feeling better soon
Your vision on how these projects come together is incredible.
💥Fantastic series and a outcome to be truly be proud of. I really expect you to get a nomination for a Grammy for this one. At the banquet don't be cracking any jokes about Mrs. DP and her camper she's never getting or Mike may feel the need to slap you down🤣. Really glad to see your dream coming together, you deserve all of it.👍🏼 The fleet is looking pristine.
Loved the series on this pond. Every episode I really looked forward to the next one. This place really looks beautiful!!!
