Greetings from Newfoundland up in Canada. As I watch you work, I cant help but notice and admire how you are constantly thinking. You think about the people around you, the equipment , the little details. It's impressive. I teach engineering at at university. Watching you is an education. Thanks for letting us ride along.
We fixed a pond one time that was using 4 old fuel tanks welded together end to end for an overflow. They had welded a big gate on the end of the pipe in the pond to cutoff the overflow. Of course when the pond filled the tanks/pipe floated. So they dug it out , placed it again and poured 96 yards of concrete around it for a seep collar. It still floated the pipe enough to leak and the seeping water cut a gully through the pond dam. When we got the call, I couldn't believe what I saw. Like to never got all that concrete busted up. We cut the gate off the pipe and welded it to the end of the pipe outside the pond and it has never leaked again. That job sucked. Love your videos.
Right about at This Point 12:34 I am thinking 🤔 they must have Burried someone under this😱 And by This Point 26:27 I’m thinking, maybe they Burried a Whole Family under this mass of concrete 🤷🏻♂️ What they do, put rebar in that piece too.?? I tell ya, 33:31 that was More than One Ten yard ready mix truck worth of concrete, maybe 2 1/2 trucks worth. A total Overkill on this tp be set on top of mud....!!! 😫👎
Once upon a time, the street i lived on had a culvert for a small stream. being young, my brother and i crawled through it. the culvert was made of two different sizes of concrete pipe, a section of an old boiler, and two different sizes of corrugated steel pipe. when they finally replaced it, i told the foreman what he would find, he laughed, as that is exactly what they had dug up
Thought John was going down for a minute but the shovel saved the day! Sad,other contractors failures are terrible for homeowners but great for you…..looks great Chris,you and John are a great team!
Now we just need to convince John to wear eye protection when standing four feet from shattering concrete. I may have watched too much failarmy in my life, but I was dreading John catching a flying piece of debris and falling into the pond. All's well that ends well, and the end result is absolutely beautiful work.
So many walls made this way. Even larger shi* done with an excavator all large flat easy to stack and jog seems....so disappointing to see. They make it obvious they suck too. They're just not aware. Then you're a prick when you point it out. Lotta fakers and takers in this world.
Nice job. All one has to do when trying to figure out which way bell-end pipe goes is think of it as a funnel. You don't pour into the small end of a funnel.
Back when, I would've noticed something like that and asked about it, then get ignored until they almost do it the wrong way. I was young and unsure then, just a ground man. :-)
Think like water in any trade. I've repaired so many rotten sills because the previous guy used the best material but in the wrong way like David Uher mentioned. Roof edges are another bug problem when someone puts on flashing, flashing tape and membrane but don't have the up-roof side under the upper pieces of membrane.
Good one! When pouring concrete on or up to existing concrete your must soak the existing concrete with water first or the old concrete will pull out the water and it will not adhere and it will crack apart every time. Good example of this is the way the pipe came out of the poured so easy. If you wet it first it will be as one piece.
So glad that final look back to see the dead tree gone out of the water! I'm not OCD but that one was driving me crazy! Chris always leaves the work site looking fantastic. Thank you for your time and talent.
My goodness that was a lot of concrete holy cow what a lot of people don't understand how to do the connections I guess I've never dealt with stuff like this but watching you do the work and tell him how that it should have been done it's amazing what a lot of other people they just throw stuff together to make it look good and then they don't have to worry about it for 20 years or so and then stuff starts leaking and then here comes the pond master to the rescue it looks awesome you do great work Chris
Almost needed the 250 on that overflow replacement just to pull the concrete out. I'd hate to see how much they billed the customer for to install that mess.
So many questions about this job. Why did the previous contractor do this…. Why did the previous contractor do that….. Why did they use so much concrete….. But the biggest question of all is……. If John had of actually ended up in the water, would you of left the footage in?
One thing is for sure. Once Chris is on the job no matter how seriously someone else did a screwed the pooch FUBAR job. When he's done. All will be 110 percent spot on perfect for dozens of decades of reliable operation. Pretty much 4 ever. Beavers beware. Chris was here, your eviction notice is permanent.
I cannot believe the amount of concrete that was in that pond damn. I bet there was 20 yards in there at least. Good job on that! Sorry about your window mishap. That sucks! But like you said at least your front window was up.
That small window on the bottom always gets broke somehow. Everyone I’ve ever worked for would know them out and just replace it with a piece of plexiglass
'Lord have mercy' alright! Brain rattling, body shaking and taking life in hands excavation. Thank goodness no one was injured. This is one great video with a neat finish. Keep safe out there.
Tracked, seeded & strawed. Picked up on the satisfaction you have in saying those three words, another 'pond crisis' dispatched in fine style, well done Chris & John! 👍
not sure why the vids with you and john working together i enjoy a bunch, maybe because i learned so much from my uncle. he helped me build my first computer, he was an electrical engineer. he died way to young.
I am seeing the water ripple every time you work on the down pipe. You guys sure do a really nice job and I have every confidence it’ll work as it should.
"They didn't want the metal to float" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shit. What the hell were they thinking when they built that? 29:42 NO WAY!!!! 36:00.. It just gets worse.
Doubtful with that bell-end pipe being backwards. Whoever had that project the first time seemed to have a blank check in hand but didn't have the brains to execute. What a shame. Like building a mansion with shoddy footers.
Talk about "over engineered". This takes the biscuit! Tough you cracked the small window in the process. That's life!. Many thanks for another first class presentation. Stay safe and well.
Great work as always,you never know what you will run into doing these types of projects,I’m curious how much concrete they actually used,appears to be a whole lot.again saving another customer from shoddy work.good video,just keep doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
I don’t know why but I laughed so hard when Jon hit the blade and you acknowledged it. I could see how that would be so easy to do using the compactor. Man they sure used a lot of concrete gah-lee
Chris, it looks like it may be time for you to consider purchasing and developing some land/office property so you can lease it to the business and reduce taxable income while garnering depreciation benefits on the structures and appreciation on land value. A consultation with an accountant who is adept at scaling up a business may be something to consider. You seem to be doing very well at making it, now it’s time for strategies on how to keep as much as legally possible.
Great job, Chris and John! It just goes to show us, that you never know what you're going to find when you dig down where someone else has been. Sorry to see you busted the glass. I know you take a lot of pride in keeping your machines looking first rate. I know it's because you are a first rate operstor and owner.
I would have made a couple of piles of that concrete out in the pond as far as the excavator would reach for fish attractant’s, especially those round pipes. I’ve never seen an overflow built like that.
Chris “ I’m gonna save that pipe” shatters into a million pieces when he touches it with the excavator. Chris “Screw the pipe it’s junk” can’t break it with a stick of dynamite.
Safety screens are sometimes worth the investment or layer of clear film over the glass ,bit like headlight protector film ,thick stuff It could have been the upper section of screen,then you would be angry ,do the on site repair ,a few layers of duct tape should keep it secure for some time 🙂
Fantastic work. You and John are the best team. Moving that concrete made my toes curl when your machine looked like it was going to tip. But the skill you showed saved the day. What a clean and peaceful scene you left. Thanks for sharing. Be safe.
You and John make it look easy to put in an overflow, yet you are doing so many fixes to other people's jobs it's obviously not as easy as you make it seem.
When moving lengths of pipe, do this... Attach a bag of earth to a G-clamp on the end of the pipe, on a 2 yard length of rope. Drag the bag along the ground.. It keeps the pipe in the direction of travel, and aids in location when in the trench. There's nothing worse than pipe, especially polypropelene for flapping about in the breeze.
Think I would get me a lawyer and make someones life miserable. Somebody clearly didn't know what they were doing. I will say one thing for Chris and that is he doesn't give up. Your tenacity is amazing. He is like "well I will show you". If it can be moved he will move it one way or another. That 160 sure earned it's keep on this job...
They could've made them a cement swimming hole, like Elly Mae had on the Clampits, with all that concrete. Glad you didn't get hurt. Nice finish to a tough project.
that operator is a true professional..the ease by which he did this work demonstrates how familiar and comfortable he is with his mechine..He worked at a cautious pace and kept a constant eye out for safety excellent...excellent..workmanship
When in doubt, just pour the concrete all about!! Lol That liner in the back of the dump truck has seen its share of concrete and rock. Won't be long and yall will welding in some new steel. Love these videos. I bet you miss that power of the 220 and 250 when you're in the 160. That girl is sure doing work though!
I was wondering why the concrete was giving you so much trouble Then I realized you were in the 160 I thought at one time you guys were getting rid of that Goes to show you that just because there's a lot of concrete Around that pipeThat it wasn't going to leak But when it was done incorrectly don't matter how much concrete you put in there She was still leaking You guys do some nice work Got it done another happy customer
Looks like it was a nice overflow, it’s ashamed that it was installed backwards! What a waste brother! If people would just pay attention when doing something, I hope the owners got that one for free! I love these jobs Chris! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
It's like the other contractor started out pouring a foundation for a high-rise, then changed their mind and threw some pipes in instead. That was a mess!! Glad we got Chris on the job to set it right! And the pond and the setting is beautiful!
Now that was a workout for man and machine! :) I don't know who worked harder at taking out that concrete, you Chris, or me,.. I caught myself working imaginary controls and ;lifting' as much as I could there on my couch hahaha. Nice rebuild of the overflow system. Good job!
I do like the compactor, much easier to use than the old Irish motorbike. Does it compact as well though? Putting the blade behind you and putting it down on the ground would give you more downward pressure at the compactor
@@ShalomBrother Ryan, I think I replied to the wrong thread. Someone mentioned something about Chris could have used the blade on the big excavator to do something and I replied to them the big excavator didn't have a blade on it but there was one on the mini. Sorry for the confusion but thanks for the reply. 😉
Holy concrete! It fought you hard and took a windshield casualty, but you won the battle in style as usual :)
Brilliant job as usual. Well done Chris and John. There was enough concrete there to make a nuclear bunker !

Burning, dredging, and fixing other ppls failures are my favorite jobs of yours.

Hopefully it was a break even project, who could have known what would be in that dam. 🤷
No way this job could have been bid properly.
U were right Chris, this was a mess!!! So much concrete!!! So sorry bout ur windshield but no one was hurt!!! Enjoyed watching this one, thank u😍
You should hear what the frogs are saying: "Musta been the NY Jets Construction Company."

As a retired remodeling contractor, one of my greatest pet peeves was good materials used poorly. This is a great example of that.

Another amazing demonstration of operator skills! Catching that chunk of rolling concrete before it got into the pond made me smile. :)
56:20 you need one of those sheeps foot packers for the Volvo. You could probably do 12-16” lifts

One is left wondering what their thought processes were in deciding the answer was "more concrete!!!"
You work that like it is an extension of your own body!
Excellent work! I wish I learned that 50 years ago.
Not gonna lie, I had flashbacks to the rock quarry animal hospital job when he was maneuvering the huge chunks of concrete.
That is the most interesting job I have watched you do in a long time. I am betting you weren't so entertained. :) Good job.
You must have rep for straighting up other contractors screwups

First time I heard the volvo scream lol
cheaper to put a metal bar system in front of your front glass and safer for you. You got lucky this time the chips didn't hit you direct
The guys who put that in must have been getting a kickback from the concrete company to use that much!
I cannot believe the amount of concrete that was in that pond damn. I bet there was 20 yards in there at least. Good job on that! Sorry about your window mishap. That sucks! But like you said at least your front window was up.
I couldn't believe it either. concrete is expensive
That small window on the bottom always gets broke somehow. Everyone I’ve ever worked for would know them out and just replace it with a piece of plexiglass
Hope we get to see this pond after it's filled up.
Wow, concrete must have been really cheap back then.
Wow. Someone had an extra truck of concrete. Nice job on the fix. Quick and efficient.
Looks like the dump truck needs a new skin. Getting ragged toward the tailgate. :)
Is your broken window a wake-up call for John to stay further away whenever possible?
'Lord have mercy' alright! Brain rattling, body shaking and taking life in hands excavation. Thank goodness no one was injured. This is one great video with a neat finish. Keep safe out there.

29:47 The power of those machines never ceases to amaze me.
You have to give them an A for effort they didn't go cheap on materials lol
Yeah, probably close to $2,500 in concrete alone (20 yards).
Concrete must have been $1 per yard when this installation was done.
It looks like the floor of the truck has been used a few times

Chris, it looks like it may be time for you to consider purchasing and developing some land/office property so you can lease it to the business and reduce taxable income while garnering depreciation benefits on the structures and appreciation on land value. A consultation with an accountant who is adept at scaling up a business may be something to consider. You seem to be doing very well at making it, now it’s time for strategies on how to keep as much as legally possible.

Just like the animal hospital, dropping big boulders to make smaller boulders!
I would have made a couple of piles of that concrete out in the pond as far as the excavator would reach for fish attractant’s, especially those round pipes. I’ve never seen an overflow built like that.

I’m literally stunned by how many people install the pipe backwards.
Think of the bell-end like a funnel. Don't know why so many can't grasp such a simple concept.
reminds me of the animal hospital's ''rock quarry'' lol

When moving lengths of pipe, do this...
Attach a bag of earth to a G-clamp on the end of the pipe, on a 2 yard length of rope.
