I loved this interview, Geoff. I think I mentioned it before, but the driveway rebuild is what hooked me on Chris's channel. Then I got hooked on yours. Thanks for 3 years of fine entertainment. (I miss the deer!😉)
Good interview. Chris is a matter of fact guy, good natured with a wicked sense of humor. But when working he is like a laser beam. Focused, disciplined and 10 steps mentally ahead. I remember the original interview. Thanks for the re-do.
Hello Mike, I live in south western Canada and I watch the same videos you do. Chris "Let's Dig 18" keeps his equipment clean and well maintained and he always does his best to keep his customers happy!
Great interview Geoff. Nice to see how long both you and Chris has come since then - it has been an amazing journey - and I'm looking forward to see what the next three years will bring. 👍😊
@@BealyGood You and Cris have to make a new loong Q n A. At least i have alot of questions, so ther must be meny more folowers. That have a lot of them to.
Great interview! I think Chris is down to earth and doesn't beat around the bush when asked questions. His business has come a long way since he went out on his own. And the Bealy Good property has changed dramatically since getting the clearing done. Keep the videos coming and soon we can enjoy more progress on the house. Cheers
A blast from the past! So much work has been done on your farm since that first project. A sincere thank you for bringing us along on your family’s journey!
I love this interview with Chris. If you interviewed him today. With all his new equipment and prices and 4x higher. I'd hate to have his expenses and upkeep. It's no wonder why Chris is working 6-7 days a week just to keep up. I'm sure people think he has time to kick his feet up and watch a game. But between working and the farm, Chris is lucky to have time to sleep. Great interview, Bealey Good.
Omg, that was great to see again. Helps to remember where he came from doing side jobs while working for his uncle and the beginning of his fleet. He just finished up Brian's job on the dam rebuilds and seeing all that new machinery and what it takes to do a major job is amazing. That said he is one hard worker and does.not cut corners so anyone is lucky to get him on their job site. Then there is your channel and the amazing amount of transformation you have done to that property although it was not mentioned much in this interview. That trail through the woods to a clearing out back sure did get run over by the pond and house lots and so much more. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
What was Chris’s first video of your place?? Was cleaning up around your barn and making a cleaner access road?? None of us had any idea how much time would be spent on your nice place!!!
Only 3 years ago - gosh so much has been achieved by both of you. LetsDig18 does not like to be in front of the camera and yet as time goes bu, he provides so much information about the lay of the land and improving it. Bealy Good you and Jackie and family have made so many changes to the property - well done all. Bye the way - neither of you have aged a bit - still as young and handsome as ever :)
really nice interview, Chris is so matter of fact about the logistics of his business. I've watched so many of his videos and one of the things I've often thought of is the cost of moving a machine the size of the 350 for instance.
I had several Ash trees on my property and someone suggested I try to sell them. I paid someone $3k to remove each one. Great interview and great team. Thanks Mr. Bealy Good.
I really enjoy your videos. As a retired single man excavating company I can agree with everything you and Chris covered. And I only had five pieces of equipment. Thank you.
I didn't watch this the first time round but this is one fantastic video's with Mr Bealy Good and Chris, I used to own my own truck year's ago possibly before Chris finished high school or started working and the story is exactly the same today as when I was pricing work with and tacking into consideration the diesel, road tax, insurance, liability insurance, goods in transit insurance, and that was all before I could feed my wife and 2 kid's then pay myself a wage most of these questions go all the way back in time and right up to date so I understand why Chris kept these thing's private, all that being said thank you Geoff and Chris for another fantastic video.
Son, this was interesting commentary. I've had conversations with some of my customers telling me that they could get it for cheaper. I'd always tell them to have at it.
Looking forward to your BeakyGood Farm Road video. I catch myself going back and watching the videos at the beginning of your American Dream. Live long and prosper.
Thanks for putting this back on. Can't believe its been about 3 years! You guys haven't changed a bit! 😂😂 Your both spot on when talking about things that go into running a business. Running the equipment, using the tools, whatever it is you do is only a fraction of what it takes to running a successful business. You guys have learned a lot in your years. Just when you think you have it down, something else pops its ugly head up. I laugh when I hear someone saying "I've seen it all". Just confirms they haven't been in it long enough. I kept learning more about business till the day I retired! (And I'm still learning)😉 Thanks to both of you for putting your videos out there for all to see.
This is a great old video! The unrestored old barn and 1910 house in the background! Loved seeing that conversation again. Plus you and Chris haven't aged a day. Haha
Outstanding interview you guys explaining how it works is a great thing cause you know people have lots of opinions and i know you guys have heard them all but you guys rock 🤘👍😎🇺🇸 NY
love Bealy Good and letsdig18 plus dirt perfect. When great people like this do videos of their own work its good quality control and great advertisement.I think people will start looking for contractors who actually video their jobs to see how good they are and that its done right. If you have 2 good quotes and one videos and one doesn't, Im likely to go with the one that videos. I do love Chris's vids when he revisits places a year or two afterwards.
🤔I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, with all the meticulous attention to keeping all his equipment clean, " to each their own" but is there a camera shy Mrs letsdig18 and little diggers running around that massive farm? ☝🏻😉Makes no difference, but I was Just Curious. I came to your channel from the first tree being dropped watching Chris's channel for years now, can't wait to see your finish house project finalized. Nobody ever asked him that question in all the interviews I seen with him. The man is unquestionably a master of his skills and abilities to operate his equipment artfully reshaping the ground he works on, that's for sure. His detail to perfection is astounding!
Thank you Sir and Sir this was interesting & when you follow LD18 now the equipment has changed significantly oh well it’s just $$$ When I sold my truck it had 1,128,000 miles on it & it sold for 45,000$$$ and the buyer thought that he got a bargain, it was a 2006 KW.
Now we need the 2024 version ..updates and future plans. I’m betting this would be a hard sell on Chris because I get the vibe he doesn’t love being directly in front of the camera..lol
It's people like Chris that make going to work the best! I dreeded working for my im glad EX father inlaw tell him keep up the good content and stay funny
Great interview, people don't realize how expensive that equipment is, extremely expensive is the answer, over head is still expensive for Chris even if it's just him, an he doesn't abuse his equipment, he takes care of it
The mashed potatoes thing was really good 😂 Yep there probably wouldn't be a lot of laying on the couch money in Chris's business. It's all spent like the money that flows through farms and gone again. It's impressive what gets accomplished and without a lot of drama though! All the best to you both ❤
@MrBealy I’m just curious what do you do for full time work? I’ve really enjoyed watching all of the projects that you and Chris have worked on in the past.
I have a question. Is Chris married. It's never talked about and I'm sure he likes his privacy. As a former heavy equipment operator, I am enjoying watching his videos. Every time he's in the excavator, I feel like I'm there running as well.
Chris didn’t realise that there is other people out there that like to watch competent machinery operator, but the reason I like to watch your videos is that because you work we get to see a new video regularly. The last question is that I’m in my retirement years, as was wondering if you are at that stage in life that you now need to write things so as not to forget
Yeah people don't realize what stuff costs. I'm an owner operator truck driver and peoplesay I make so much money. Well I have to to pay for everything. A new truck 4 years ago was 155k. Oil changes are 500, just put 4k in tires on my truck last week and I'm on track to spend 65k in diesel this year. And thats not including buying a trailer then slowly rebuilding it. Owning your own business isn't cheap.
Had a run in with somebody the other day. They were saying every land owner is a millionaire. I was saying... do you even know how much os costs to maintain land? Be it fences, or tree removal, or maintain road ways, cut grass, sort out drainage etc.... they'd no idea.
@billabong9215 yep. I struggle keeping up with the just over 2 acres i have cleared out of my 4 acres. But when your job takes you away from home to make money it tough. And everyone that I could hire to do it are idiots in my area. They think they can level 4 acres with a backhoe. I just laugh at them. Very few people in my area own a dozer, so I'm saving up to rent one.
@@grumpyscout4745 You prob would manage 4 acres if you had the time with a backhoe. You'd be a long time though and a lot of headaches. Move a bit here, move a bit there 🤣
That was a good interview. Mr.Bealy ask Chris when will he do an update on some of the projects he's done over the years, I want to see how they look with water in them. Thank you in advance.
When you watch Chris work, his attention to detail, his knowledge and then his skill set with all the various machines, and in how he maintains them, you just understand he is going to be worth the cost. I do have another question though. Does Chris's Insurance company apply an extra premium when they find he is working on a Mr Beale project? Some of those drone footage shots get mighty close ...
Two of my favorite guys! It's funny Chris stood behind the 39PX, that's the one I'm interested in. How many hours have you logged on that thing? It's gotta be wearing thin soon considering. That unit is still rated one of the four best finish dozers to this day. I'm the sort that stays ahead if he can in that game. I'll keep my eye out for deals if I can. Thanx.
Folks say the electronics on the Cat equivalent is far superior but the driver's view sux. Which unit does Chris prefer today? My money's on a newer 39...
To Bealy Good: You & I share one major thing, our love of first class fidelty. You design 'em for the technology & use. I design 'em for living with every day/day in & day out. I'm more about what to play on them & how to enjoy/employ them best. You both employ recording superb sound so don't kid yourselves, you've got that part covered. What sets me apart from most audiophiles? I'm specifically NOT a stereophile! I'm not sure if that translates but it explains my history of embracing quadrophonic & tiring of folks like Paul at PS audio sticking his head in the sand about surround & it's technology forcing the world to a two point source. (The only gear Paul designs is stereo...period.)
I’d like to see an interview asking personal questions - like does Chris have a significant other, who watches/takes care of the dogs while he’s working, etc.
Hey guys, I'm revisiting as Ive been busy this last couple of years and not given you the attention you deserve! haha Pricing is always weird and as Chris said - if you give a price range - the only one that sticks is the lowest number. Even if you accept the job at the lowest number and a bare minimum spec - the customer ALWAYS wants "can you just" and "oh that needs to be like this now" and other extras OR theyve had to get organised and a 2 week job now is now down to 5 days because there's a line up of other behind you OR they get someone else in to do some other thing and they are completely in your way. The world would be a great place if it didnt have people haha
I loved this interview, Geoff. I think I mentioned it before, but the driveway rebuild is what hooked me on Chris's channel. Then I got hooked on yours. Thanks for 3 years of fine entertainment. (I miss the deer!😉)
Bloody brilliant - a good example of ‘you want a cheap job or you want a good job’ - two entirely different prices.
Good interview. Chris is a matter of fact guy, good natured with a wicked sense of humor.
But when working he is like a laser beam. Focused, disciplined and 10 steps mentally ahead.
I remember the original interview. Thanks for the re-do.
I missed that interview the first time. I have 4 channels i love. Lets Dig 18, Dirt Perfect, C&C Equipment and Bealy Good , keep up the good work 👏
Thanks 😊
Diesel Creek is a good one too.
What no Kerosene Stream, or Scrappy Industries
Hello Mike,
I live in south western Canada and I watch the same videos you do. Chris "Let's Dig 18" keeps his equipment clean and well maintained and he always does his best to keep his customers happy!
Gate City Foundation Drainage ( South Carolina) is another Excellent channel, top tier quality all around
This was a cool interview with Chris!! Enjoy to get his perspective
Great interview, kudos. Some of us wonder about Chris, his life, how he get stuff done. Good stuff.
Great interview Geoff. Nice to see how long both you and Chris has come since then - it has been an amazing journey - and I'm looking forward to see what the next three years will bring. 👍😊

Thank you Geoff for talking Chris into the interview.
Thank you Chris for agreeing :)
Rough cut lumber, did they use that in my 1902 house? What does perpendicular mean?
Most likely you have rough cut lumber if your house was built in 1902. Perpendicular is when two lines cross and make a 90 degree angle
We need more sit down interviews
Hey thanks for that. Great insight into the workings.
Do you have a schedule for when more concrete is poured?
Yes. Next week
That was a good interview. Mr.Bealy ask Chris when will he do an update on some of the projects he's done over the years, I want to see how they look with water in them. Thank you in advance.
Will do
I like when Chris talks with anybody about anything
I believe his first video was doing the driveway in a 100 year old abandoned farmhouse that has a new owner that planned on fixing it up.
Yes. That was the very first project.
@BealyGood Is fine a LONG way.
Even in this video, you see the yellow farmhouse in the background, and no grass.
When you watch Chris work, his attention to detail, his knowledge and then his skill set with all the various machines, and in how he maintains them, you just understand he is going to be worth the cost. I do have another question though. Does Chris's Insurance company apply an extra premium when they find he is working on a Mr Beale project? Some of those drone footage shots get mighty close ...

I’d like to see an interview asking personal questions - like does Chris have a significant other, who watches/takes care of the dogs while he’s working, etc.
Will never happen. Talking about personal life was one of the 3 things he doesn’t discuss.
@@BealyGood Ok. I always wondered what his does in what little spare time he has. The Sundays with Winston are always interesting to me.
It’s none of my business
Hey guys, I'm revisiting as Ive been busy this last couple of years and not given you the attention you deserve! haha
Pricing is always weird and as Chris said - if you give a price range - the only one that sticks is the lowest number. Even if you accept the job at the lowest number and a bare minimum spec - the customer ALWAYS wants "can you just" and "oh that needs to be like this now" and other extras OR theyve had to get organised and a 2 week job now is now down to 5 days because there's a line up of other behind you OR they get someone else in to do some other thing and they are completely in your way.
The world would be a great place if it didnt have people haha
Swamp mats can they be made from the trees that Chris knocks down? Are they expensive to make?
