    It is amazing how well you and Mike work together. You both are figuring out on the fly how to solve the problems that you run into, and you have similar thought processes. Makes for a great team effort!

    Without a doubt, this Quarry Lake project, is in my top 3 all time LD18 videos. Tip of the hat to Chris, Mike, Robert and Aaron!

    The pipe hook is a neat trick. First time I ever saw that. Another day and Chris would have the brush burned, the lake edges slicked up, and the whole area seeded. 🙂👍

    Its been a treat watching you two work together, giving MBTS some notice as to the new management, been great viewing! I had no idea you were this funny as you have no workers to harass like Mike does. These guys give you the room to exercise your comedy skills Chris! 🤣

  • @heatherlane9270
    @heatherlane9270 9 месяцев назад +23

    A whole lot of fun and team work in the series - two experienced operators make it look simple. Although it looked sketchy at times, and it was, care and personal safety was kept aa the most important focus. Thank you all involved for this and LetsDig18 for a fantastic example of excavation.

  • @randysmith9636

    Besides all the fine machinery operating going on, im just amazed at how well y'all can do everything with one hand.
    The life of a content creator.
    Edit to add. OK who else puckered up a bit when he had the boom pressing down on that clay pipe to level it?

    It's been a delight witnessing the seamless collaboration between both of you in showcasing the latest advancements in agricultural machinery. Not only did this video shed light on MBTS's new management, but it also offered a truly enjoyable viewing experience! I never realized your sense of humor was so delightful; perhaps it's because you don't have any workers to tease, unlike Mike. Chris, these gentlemen truly provide you with the perfect canvas to unleash your comedy skills! Bravo

  • @Vickie-Bligh
    @Vickie-Bligh 9 месяцев назад +13

    Once again, a whole video with a grin on my face. Watching you both do everything you can to leave your site better than you arrived, just warms my heart. You both showed here what real experts can do if left to their own resources. Thanks for this, Chris and yes, I'll be looking forward to Mike's eventual video.🤣

    I knew something weird was coming when I saw Mike and Aaron rowing a leaky old boat away from the drag line down stream without showing where they were going, but I did not expect something like this. Nice work guys. Heck the beavers might start hiring you guys to do the work for them and let them sit back and supervise you. But then they do have to work those teeth down or they get into trouble so I guess not.

  • @davidepool5884
    @davidepool5884 9 месяцев назад +16

    Y’all did a fantastic job on the dam, the road and borrow pit. It’s a good thing that everything had good breaks. It looks like the water level of the lake will be a little higher now. I wonder how long it will take the beavers to plug the pipe you put in. It doesn’t matter how deep the water is, beavers will always want to stop the flow and make it deeper.

    • @snappingbear
      @snappingbear 9 месяцев назад

      Yes, beavers literally can't stand the sound of running water. It triggers them to go into hyper work mode to plug the leak. They will try to plug the culvert you can bet on that.

    • @Losttoanyreason
      @Losttoanyreason 9 месяцев назад +3

      I think the beavers will be too embarrassed about their failure to keep the pond to the height the land owner wanted to cause any trouble. 😁

    • @johnmorse0602
      @johnmorse0602 9 месяцев назад +3

    • @hanswichmann5047
      @hanswichmann5047 6 месяцев назад

      On the RR I retired from there used to be a bounty on beaver pelts payable at the station as late as the '60's.. When they almost went extinct this was stopped. Now the RR uses up facing elbows to control the water levels & rebar mesh covers for the beavers..The Maint Of Way guys would just rake off the debris as needed..Everybody happy...
