Boy it's about time you made that Elite Earthworks dude do something! lol. All I ever see him do is ride around in a machine or a truck normally, and every once in a great while he gets out and holds a rake in his hands to make it look good for his viewers!
I love watching the work that you do and admire your attention to detail. If you were in my area I would definitely hire you with confidence that the job will be done right.
LOL, Every time I see one of those packers now all I can think is "Whacker packer" from that auction video a few years back. Good stuff, you guys collab well!
Worked with a guy that couldn't figure out a log tape, 1' increments with a shoe nail on one end, and a clip to attach to your belt, dude insisted he needed someone to hold the end for him, and couldn't figure out how to attach the tape to his overalls... Few days later he left, very upset at me... (this is after I damned near swung a bucket full of logs into him cause he walked up on the machine I was working in, chewed he ass for trying to shovel tracks on the same machine while I was trying to load logs with it, then spent the better part of 8 hours staying warm in the service truck while the rest of us froze our muddy asses off... BTW he ran that service truck nearly out of fuel 45 miles from the nearest station... I of course managed to finish it off 3 mi from home, in the dark on a winding road... cause the fuel gauge didn't work at all grrrrrr)

as you were crushing the old concrete pipe, I couldn't help wondering why you didn't toss a couple of them in the pond for fish habitat.... but from the looks of the silt in there, they might just sink and become a nuisance for the person that gets to dredge that one.
This reminds me of when Brandon unloaded and set his box on that retention pond job. Seems there was a couple machines involved getting that box off the trailer. And then another project with the flare and inlet pipe etc. Fun times all around! Lol
Discovered Letsdig18 last week. Very cool. Great vids and commentary. The operator is awesome. So skilled and knows his stuff as well. Very impressed with all aspects of him and his craft. I bet he could thread a needle using his excavator ! lol
Watching you and Dirt Perfect finesse those controls is like watch Isaac Pearlman playing a violin. I think you beat Dirt Perfect by a G string. LOL You guys need to teach the new kids that it is not a video game where you slam those controls. It's all in the wrist.
This will sound corny but it is an honor to watch someone who knows how to go to work. Your driving and operational abilities are out standing. I wish you lived up where I am.
Mr Elite ain’t scared of work I’ll tell ya ! Nice seeing u two working on a project together !! Told him several times he needs more ponds on his channel so I think it’s pretty damn fitting that’s what he’s helping u on !! Lmao. Hey Brando !
Dang Chris how did you resist not stacking those piece of concrete pipe sections you removed?!? I would made a little pipe sculpture outta those pieces
Man, that is some high quality help you got there. Teaching the man some pond stuff or just making a friend go to work when he comes to visit? ;) It is an awful long drive from Missora for a day job. I once knew a guy like that he was from Gaylord, Michigan; we called him Detroit Ron for obvious reasons. Thanks for the videos, Chris. Don't work Brandon too hard or he might expect to get paid.
@@mrs.eliteearthworks "I have had enough of this work around here, I need a break. I know, let me go work with Chris for a week," Brandon- possibly. that is quite the man to take his vacation just to go work somewhere else.
I’d like to know how Brandon got to get away from his significant other this long.unless she’s in Cancun with her girlfriend.lol your doing a great job as always.😎😎😎👍👍👍
I’ve done this before when I was working for the yard crew at a slaughterhouse. We where building waste pits and digging the canals out and putting in risers and grouting the plastic pipe it. Tho sadly I always got the blocks that where a foot thick of concrete and had to use a sledgehammer and sometimes hit rebar aw that was hard work
Hey Brandon, are you the *Brandon on the Elite Earthworks LLC TH-cam* channel? Are you the guy who puts up videos twice a week of you doing excellent excavation projects in Joplin Missouri? I see you're an excellent machine operator, *are you teaching LetsDig18 how to be a better* operator? Is Mrs EliteEarthworks also on this trip?
Naw it's the other way around. Chris is teaching Brandon the new things. And no Mrs. Elite sends Brandon to Chris when she needs a break from him ROFLMAO 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my boss told me to do a truck driver licence if i want to drive the big excavators. i did it. financed all of my self, after that my boss told me i need qualification to drive the 15 ton excavator. i paid for it did the qualification course. now my boss told me i cannot drive the big excavator because lag of experience. i could cry, i paid around 8k for licences and qualifications and now the only thing iam allowed to do is still running around with a shovel =(
that is where metric is so much easier to use! you are using base 10 and decimals instead of fractions of an inch, 12 inches per foot, 3 feet per yard... Being in Canada, I have to use both; I much prefer metric for the most part. I will never buy a tape measure that doesn't have both!
@@marcryvon I found it easier to just count the lines like he did than it was trying to teach him the right way.he couldn't grasp why if the little line was a 16th why isn't there 16 little lines.there is 16 little ones some are hiding under the longer lines...huh?? Ok 13 and 3 little lines it is.lol
Chris you and mr. dirt perfect need to have a discussion on laying the bell end of the pipe in the right direction. He disagrees with you and I can’t figure out why! Both of you know what your doing when you work, but I wish you two could come up with a discussion on the matter for all to see!
There's companies that specialize in aquatic life for ponds, such as stocking ponds with fish and plants. Wouldn't surprise me that they can do safe fish removal, and ones that do usually have holding tanks somewhere while the pond is being worked on. They care for the fish until it's safe for them to be returned to the pond.
Something for post 10 to keep unblocked in the future.
For sure! Good lookin out for the guy! He would love to keep it unblocked, im sure!

Fantastic job, best part of my day is watching letsdig18 videos
If you look at the far edge of the pond when the video starts you will see a Great Blue Heron. I am sure he helped remove the fish.
Probably ticked off now that his meals are missing...

Are you going to dig out the silt too or just the overflow and dam repair? We all know how much you like to play in the mud Chris lol !

Your right Chris , that layed in there Nice !! Coming right along...... Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening.. On to the Next !
when you want to save the pipe it breaks and when you are getting rid of it .. its the hardest concrete in the world .. can't win ...
How many times have you called Branden - "Tim" when you are telling him what you want done?
I love your channel
this is better than TV
I gave the 666th *Like*. 👻 Perfect work as always❣️

Concrete habitats, does'nt the concrete slowly make the water more acidic over time? For ponds I guess that could be an issue.
It is about time he works with the big boys sorry Mr elite awesome video

Love the video Chris and Brandon , very good job .
Thank you!
Love the video Chris
That Brandon is a pretty nice guy! I would subscribe to his channel but I already did a while back.

This pond is screaming for some more work to be done!
I think a 100 trucks of mudd is ready to get moved out.
I’ve done this before when I was working for the yard crew at a slaughterhouse. We where building waste pits and digging the canals out and putting in risers and grouting the plastic pipe it. Tho sadly I always got the blocks that where a foot thick of concrete and had to use a sledgehammer and sometimes hit rebar aw that was hard work
So
When I saw that lumber I was like well at lease it wasn’t bones. But are you really an excavator operator if you haven’t dug someone up lol?
💀
That's a nice winged headwall.
I have to find directions to buildand pour one of my own. I actually have two large culverts in my yard(36”) and both need ends on them!
I did pipe for 20 years that's the nicest I have ever seen any box cut out lol
it did turn out right nice didnt it lol
Chris,did you swap those ISO,for the helper?

Wonder what he would do with MBTS?(Dirt Perfects alter ego)
