    The ability to get any excavator to delicately pick items up is beautiful to watch. Picking that pipe up with the grading bucket on was art. Maestro, you are a joy to watch as you direct the symphony of your machines.

      Any pond will always be in the sun mate. Unless it’s surrounded by some 1000 year old trees (which we don’t have on the east coast and Midwest). It’s more about how big the pond’s water shed is. Some ponds can have huge water sheds, even 2-3000 acres as all that land drains through where the pond is.
      Others have almost none and will never be full often.

    Hey Chris question, what are the advantages to using the metal pipe opposed to the black plastic. I only ask this because most of the pipes you end up replacing our metallic and rusted out.

    • @dewalddejager5493
      @dewalddejager5493 2 года назад +7

      Very likely the metal pipes were installed before the days that plastic pipes was even available.
      Plastic has a longer life expectancy than metal pipes that rust out.

      The thing is he probably doesn't think about his next move. He drives up to the ditch looks at it for 10 seconds and starts digging before he knows it everything is removed and it's ready to go back in That's a great thing about experience no thinking involved. Just in my opinion now I can be totally wrong I have been wrong many times at least that's what she's told me just kidding One of the best things I ever did. 😇

      @@whatdoyouthinktodd Oh, he thinks it through before he touches a joy stick. The key to this kind of work is know before you start so you don't mess up and have to do things twice. By the time he fires up the machine it is all worked out in his head and then it becomes muscle memory. Experience comes in when a plan comes together. The newbie makes a plan but it does not work so now he starts winging it and trying to make it work and it takes twice as long and is not as good in the end. Having a realistic plan at the front makes a world of difference. Chris is the best at that. He started so young that he is a master at a young age. Just a kid really but got the same years of experience as an old man.
