I liked the last camera angle of you shifting mud, it gave a real perspective to the size and volume of just how much needs to be moved. Amazing how much you have managed to do so far.
That’s a fact. My dad does dirt work. I can’t tell you how many times he has given someone a price. Only to have them say oh that’s high. Then they hire the cheap guy. Then call my dad to come fix what the cheap guy did. Oh they usually pay the cheap guy more then what my dads bid was to begin with. Cheap isn’t always better!!!!
thats hat happens when not enough work, here right now construction if every were and they are floating rentals in from down east every week, to keep up
Always great too see smiles on people's faces Chris 👍🏼🇺🇸 & Tim 👍🏼🇺🇸 absolutely love the videos Chris from Jennifer Australia 👍🏼🇦🇺 absolutely love the videos 👍🏼🇺🇸
I rarely do any dirt work but really enjoy this channel because I like the learning aspect of the craft. I’m kinda a jack of all trades but master of none. 😂
WOW! What a large piece of land. Looks like over several hundred acres could be involved.. it'll look really nice when Chris gets through with it, I 'm sure.
I think this is where you would need some earth conveyor belts to move the earth up to the dumper trucks. Only downside is you would need a lot of dumper trucks at once So many projects sir... Thank you for sharing
I’m a big fan of your videos and what never ceases to amaze me, even after working in this business, is how some people think if it’s cheaper, it’s better. There’s an old slogan that never loses it’s meaning: “You get what you pay for.” My old boss always used to say that cheaper is more expensive, because then you have to bring someone else in to do it right. That seems to be the case here.
After watching your videos for a few months... I see how your mind works when organizing what your going to do and what is being done. And without pointing out what the last contractor did... I could see the mismanaged mess. :D Honestly...watching you work is an artform. :) Please keep up the great work and hope you had a Merry Christmas.
Wow! That is a huge mess! We new it would be when you went in and cleaned out all the trees. Looks like the original contractor sent guys out there with little supervision!
it's very common in the Housing industry as well. Independent contractors suck you out of as much money as they can an disappear. As long as they completed some work it usualy never ends up in court. Mike Holmes has made a Living fixing these morons messes.
That is why you only pay them as you go. Never pay for much more than materials upfront if you can make it work. They need motivation to come back for the money.
The smooth motions of that excavator and the ability to keep grade likes has me mesmerized. I wish i had that kinda talent... need to find someone in NC to do similar type work on some property we acquired...
Enjoyed you commentary as much as you operating the digger bro. Makes ya wonder if the previous guys had any idea of what they were doing. Made a great video anyway. That bucket is sure bigger than your resent 220 purchase. Stay safe guys
Grand larceny of property or services valued at more than $10,000 is a felony punishable by a term of up to 10 years in prison, or a fine at the discretion of the court.
@@RockBrigadeCommunityForum yha. I know. But that never seeme to stop a the right group of teenagers from smashing shit. Or painting stuff. For shits and giggles. Happens alot. Just stating from a fellow heavy equipment owner
Love your videos. Thanks for giving us a peek into your world. I know it’s a lot of work. Question... When you have a large job and such soft ground, is there a bigger bucket available that would be more efficient? More volume per swing?
I have 1000plus hours on a mini excavator digging over water lines gas lines etc. But still I learn from you with the bigger machines. My rubber tracked kubota doesn’t exactly suffer from sliding down hills
Damn Chris it don’t seem like it’s been two months ago that you were there taking them trees down but anyway brother you and Tim and John y’all stay safe and keep them coming brother
I ALWAYS SAY YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD , IF YOU LET ME I WOULD WORK FOR FREE I KNOW I MUST START WITH A SHOVEL BUT THAT'S OK HELL IF NEED BE I'LL PAY YOU THE LITTLE I HAVE TO WORK !
Was wondering if anyone else noted the new tire.... that still has a sticker on it!!😉 Equipment World has a good article about mismatched tires = uneven torque loading of differentials = broke parts... but it was sponsored by a tire company....
Hey Chris even thou you are cleaning up and fixing what the other people messed up on. i can say for a fact that you'll do i Right and it'll look awesome when its all done. I know it'll be many videos but from a before and after completion everyone will be able to tell that it was done by professionals and not someone that has no idea what their doing. Keep doing what you do Chris and im always waiting for the next video
Hey Chris you have shown two dams this week that you are fixing due to poor workmanship from other contractors i wounder if they watch these clips and give you free advice from their arm chair !!!!!
Chris tip to you if your not going to use the equipment for a two weeks or more. I would disconnect the + pole of the batterie so there is not a drain on the 24v and you always have enough battery power.
It's easy to see that everyone is not as neat and orderly as Chris. One of the main reasons that you have as much work as you do is, You do it right the first time. It's better and cheaper in the long run!!!
You have the patience of Job to be wading out on those mats, picking through sticks strewn all over in that mud, and then having to move those piles several times just to then load it into a truck one scoop at a time!
Buy a couple of solar powered trickle /float chargers and some battery disconnects if you're going to leave equipment sit for 3 weeks or more. Even good batteries loose power just sitting connected. Well done though 👍🏻
Tim, you are so "smooth" with that bucket. You could probably win money like the old guy I used to work with. He had been a backhoe operator for many years and won lots of money from people betting them he could pick up a sheet of paper with his bucket. The "great unwashed public", would of course take the bet. Then he would plug his ears to protect them from the yelling after he waved the bucket just barely over the sheet of paper, creating a draft and curling the paper right into the bucket! Maybe sometime you could show...!
It's a terrible thing for all involved in this hole project from the homeowner designer to the other contractor to you Chris I greatly appreciate how when very little you spoke of the other contractor you didn't trash them that truly has shown us how decent you are young man I'm so proud of you I'm around contractor almost everyday and how they all just bash other people weather contractor or not they run at the D beaters about how and where and why lol appreciate you your work abilities but bottom line especially with me it's the way you are the way you speak the way you present yourself lol like if a guy walks in with pants that hang down showing assets everyone knows what I mean boom no job great video Thumbs Up My Friends
A curious question. What is the actual problem with diggin down the logs and stumps as the previous contractor did? Wont they rot down and become soil?
Is there anything that can be done about the contractors that are not up to par,without stepping on someone’s toes and making customers aware of the problem children.😎😎😎👍👍
It looks really nice :o) - they maybe couldn’t get haul trucks because they don’t pay because they get chased off job sites? The plant hire company I worked for was on the stop with everyone all the time :o
I'm from Canada and I love these videos, but I just want to know why ponds are so popular around there? Are they for swimming or water storage?? Any replies from anyone would be great! Thank you!!
I don’t know how you do it having to fix all these Jack legs Screwed up work with out going out and find them and acks them just what the hell they were thinking and maybe will I’ll leave it at that you handle it far better then I would I mean I know your getting payed to do it but damn 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥺
Well on the one hand, being the guy who can fix other's mistakes is job security. On the other hand, I hate knowing that poor customer is paying twice to get something done right. Always call Chris first, not second.
the easy way to explain the cost of fixing others work, it would have cost you X amount for Chris to do it, now it cost what the other guy charged plus the X amount plus an extra charge because it will take longer and need more equipment to separate the wood from the dirt.
Question for you. Why do you dig and pile up instead of starting with truck close and fill as you go to reduce moving twice? Also why not use a bulldozer or some other larger earth mover to reduce time on the job? Just wondering, love your videos.
The muddy ground does not allow the heavy trucks to leave the road. This is the south eastern United States with soft sandy soil. As you can see there is always water running and soaking the already soft soil. A bulldozer could possibly push the soil closer to the road but can't load the truck assuming it didn't get stuck in the process. An excavator can move the earth and load the truck.
Always alway check for oil on something that was parked for a few months like that. My reason is because there may not be any in it. Some dirty thing might have drained it or filled it with sand

I really LOVE watching you work. A master on the excavator.
I liked the last camera angle of you shifting mud, it gave a real perspective to the size and volume of just how much needs to be moved. Amazing how much you have managed to do so far.
The good contractors are booked solid for weeks, you just have to wait your turn, that is if you want it done right.
That’s a fact. My dad does dirt work. I can’t tell you how many times he has given someone a price. Only to have them say oh that’s high. Then they hire the cheap guy. Then call my dad to come fix what the cheap guy did. Oh they usually pay the cheap guy more then what my dads bid was to begin with. Cheap isn’t always better!!!!
@@harleydartez my dad the same way we own a drywall and construction company
That’s a lot of equipment to have sit for a couple of months. My uncle in the trucking business always said “equipment rich, money poor” 😄
Luckily Guins fully owns all their equipment so it is not too big a problem when it sits idle.
Trevor Dennis Thats still money sitting there not producing more money. At least rent the equipment out for some income?
thats hat happens when not enough work, here right now construction if every were and they are floating rentals in from down east every week, to keep up
Kaiser Sose thats gonna run the hours up
The cost for transport is the main reason mosh machery stay put as to move it from one job and back is costly.
Nothing worse than fixing up someone else’s mess.They are lucky they got you on the job.👏🏼👏🏼👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
there is an entire industry supported by others mistakes. Look at the Jobs Guins have done over the years fixing peoples mistakes.

I rarely do any dirt work but really enjoy this channel because I like the learning aspect of the craft. I’m kinda a jack of all trades but master of none. 😂
I was wondering when this job was coming back. Almost didn't recognize the 30 tonner with that shiny tire on it!
Great to see a well kept cab that's clean and well kept.. Like the little brush for sweeping out the dirt same as myself 😂
Cleaning up someone else's mess is not always easy, but you always get the job done right. Looking good.
Starts well considering the excavator I mean not the moxi .
Thanks for sharing been waiting for you to get bacteria to this job ! Love Dan building
You manoeuvr those machines like they are extensions of your body. Lovely to watch
WOW! What a large piece of land. Looks like over several hundred acres could be involved.. it'll look really nice when Chris gets through with it, I 'm sure.
I concur with Dr. Chris...too much mud (thanks for using one of my favorite words).
I think this is where you would need some earth conveyor belts to move the earth up to the dumper trucks. Only downside is you would need a lot of dumper trucks at once
So many projects sir... Thank you for sharing

For $20 or $30 you can buy a small (maybe 16" x 16") solar panel to connect to the battery to keep it charged.
They left the price tag on that new tire. Ha Ha
Love your videos. Wish I was that good at operating equipment. You are awesome
New to your channel. I must say, you make it look easy
Been waiting on this one....this is gonna be some great videos
Wow! That is a huge mess! We new it would be when you went in and cleaned out all the trees. Looks like the original contractor sent guys out there with little supervision!
Haul truck needs a solar powered battery tender.
plus a battery kill switch and extra cup holder
Those are great. Have to keep an eye on the water level in the battery though. They tend to drop with the constant charge for weeks on end.
They never had any intention to finish it. That's why it's a mess.
That's a shame.
Really? Like you know this for sure. That’s unreal man. What is wrong with people?

They leave just enough undone that it’s not worth your time to go after them and take em to court for it.
That is why you only pay them as you go. Never pay for much more than materials upfront if you can make it work. They need motivation to come back for the money.
Plenty of work is good for the pocket book, you are doing a real good job.
Well you made a helluva difference in that mess already

Like so many we love to watch your masterful work
I remember when you had the old military dump truck lol
The Mess on this Property is what Happens when you Don’t give Chris G. a phone call First. 🤪
Thats the cleanest the haul truck has ever been as far as j can remember
and he washed it
Awesome vid!! Any difference between the 2 220's..beside what you are going to add to your 220?.. That is why Chris is the master operator!!
Must be so frustrating having to go in and fix another company's bad work. Great job!
good candidate for the screening machine in a few months to get the wood debris out of it
You should do a machinery and farm tour
Robert should I agree
If it was dry.
Tusen takk for videoen. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
Thanks for taking the trouble to set up cameras from different POV's....it really adds to the viewing.....
What a lot of mess you can hear the wood in the dirt braking as you dig. Out side shot shows how much you where digging out. Thanks for the vidio.
Enjoyed you commentary as much as you operating the digger bro. Makes ya wonder if the previous guys had any idea of what they were doing. Made a great video anyway. That bucket is sure bigger than your resent 220 purchase. Stay safe guys
I just watched the other minner pond video today! I was like dang I wana see more of this. And then bam 💥
Nice know one messed with machines. Sitting that long. Thats a plus.

Yes. He has a couple of buckets I believe.
Chris went up the creek and almost didn't make a back. Chris is a creek survivor. Lol God bless
I have a feeling we are going to see many more videos of you cleaning up this whole disaster.
I've been around a lot of operators and you're one badass dude
Looking better and better

Yep when it went flat

Mud so much fun to dig in lol lol. And they Shure did make a big ass crap job for u to have to come and clean it up. Great job.

Nice smooth work!!
Right rear tire is low on the of road dump truck. Bring service truck with air. :) You do a good job.
That is one big piece of property.

Or underbid and the cost started to add up.
Maybe but then how come all the rookie mistakes and poor planning

I’m surprised they haven’t lost machines with all these projects

nice new tire!
You sure have some nice equipment . On top of that enough equipment to be able to leave some at a different job for 2 months.
You need to invest in a heavy duty conveyer belt system if you continue doing these projects. It would ease the wear and tear on your equipment.
How long does it usually take for those size logs to decompose, when buried in the soil?
How long does it take to clean your equipment after doing a job?
Question for you. Why do you dig and pile up instead of starting with truck close and fill as you go to reduce moving twice? Also why not use a bulldozer or some other larger earth mover to reduce time on the job? Just wondering, love your videos.
He's trying to drain some moisture from the mud.
The muddy ground does not allow the heavy trucks to leave the road. This is the south eastern United States with soft sandy soil. As you can see there is always water running and soaking the already soft soil. A bulldozer could possibly push the soil closer to the road but can't load the truck assuming it didn't get stuck in the process. An excavator can move the earth and load the truck.
I understand why he’s stacking it. But why not load straight out. It looked pretty dry
Good stuff Chris!
Sometimes you wonder, and sometimes you know, and sometimes you wonder if they know! Wow what a mess.
Always alway check for oil on something that was parked for a few months like that. My reason is because there may not be any in it. Some dirty thing might have drained it or filled it with sand
