Glad to hear that John got through his surgery OK! Tell him to enjoy his time off, because there will be plenty of work waiting for him when he recovers!
Prayers for Uncle John's recovery! You probably miss him being around. Many thanks for the closed captions. I'm hard of hearing, even with hearing aides, from too many years in the factories as an electrician. The captions really help to understand you. Glad they are back. You are quite the operator, so smooth! My dad operated all his life, so I grew up a lot like you did. He taught me to run a hi-lift and backhoe before I was old enough to drive. Some of my best memories are the times I spent out on the job with him in the summer. Blessings on you Chris, you're amazing to watch and I've learned some things too. Never too old to learn, even at 67.
Great tip on the box. I’ve seen 1200 concrete septic tanks float out of the ground so you know those little boxes will. Glad to hear John is doing well.
That pipe truck was interesting bro so thanks for showing that. Nice tidy finish to the job at hand too. Oh yes here's to a speedy recovery for John also. Safe travels
Dang! It must be nice to dig with so few rocks. Here in Nova Scotia you can't drive a tent peg without hitting a piece of granite the size of a pickup truck!
How is it that Chris can dig a perfectly straight ditch like drawing a line on a map but if I try to do something as simple as put in a post big enough for a child's tennis ball trainer, I find a 6" hunk of basalt right where I choose to drive the post? Every darn time.
Tell John we have him in our prayers, too young for such nonsense as operations. :( Nice job, I thought you would haul off excess dirt but you lost it. 👍😊
That's good that John is doing well and I was counting the number of buckets of gravel 12 in total definitely better to have more then not enough and did I hear the bucket hit some rock awesome job Chris 👍
Best wishes for a complete recovery for John! At least that property owner doesn't need to worry as much as we do up here about road salt washing into the pond through that drain. Do something like that up _here_ and in a few years your pond will be fit for tuna, mackerel and mahi!
Feel for ya Big John , hope all goes well. My out patient surgery w/4 was recovery ( 3rd Hernia Repair ) on July 2nd. turned into 2 more ER visits for 5 days each, and Losing 3" of my small Intestine in a 2nd Emergency Surgery. , 4wks. Turned into adding 6 more on top of that for recovery. Highly restricted at first, leaving me only a few things that I can do. Sleep Pee Or have a BM, has long as I don't apply more the 10lbs of force doing it. Lol
One man crew again, you’re always working hard my friend! Nobody can say any different! Looks great Chris, I’m always impressed by how you dig a grade almost by eye! Good job brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn Chris you are an artist with that excavator !!!! Really know what you are doing. Yeah I have a backhoe on a compact tractor and have dug a lot of ditches, but our soil is as much rack as dirt and I can really appreciate his talent. Chris is definetely more talented than Mr Dirt Perfect !!!!
I have a feeling that it's going to hold a bunch of water being a corrugated pipe. I would have gone with schedule 40 pvc piping because of the smooth walls will let the water flow without being restricted and the PVC won't clogg up
Good To hear that John Made it safety through the surgery. Get well soon John.nice Video.now the cows will have some water too.they be Happy To get a Drink of fresh water plus the pond will fill Up too.very Kool man .
I enjoy your videos, when I was in college I worked summers for an excavation contractor . We did mostly schools and larger projects so I had the opportunity to work with many operators (I was a laborer) and you guys aren’t all created equal. Some guys you just didn’t feel safe with when in a ditch. I would definitely feel safe with you as you are buttery smooth now I know the machine and it’s age and maintenance play a role in the operators performance as well. Also your final grading skills are top notch. Keep up the good work.
Didn’t count but did notice he did not so much as touch the truck with the backhoe boom or bucket. Loved the astroturf welcome mat on the step of the pipe delivery truck.
Chris you should have one of those new transits that you operate right from in the machine. It's portable so if you jump from one machine to the other you take it with you.👍
Glad to hear that John got through his surgery OK! Tell him to enjoy his time off, because there will be plenty of work waiting for him when he recovers!
Prayers and Godspeed on Uncle John's recovery....
Prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery, John.
Sir, you are a true "artist of the dirt" my friend. The finished touch you apply using big equipment is simply amazing!!
Little Strawberry Shortcake dug a beautiful straight ditch. Thanks for the good news on John's recovery.
Don't let Big John rush back too soon after surgery, Old timers are buggers for ''I'm fine'' attitudes when really they just need to rest for a bit.
What, you know me ?? 🤣🤣🤣
Please tell Uncle John we said prayers for a speedy recovery! Hugs and strength to you!
I never knew how they carried pipe like that thanks for showing it.
Have you ever seen concrete pipe haulers? They’re impressive
@@jeff7764 No I haven't but you have me interested now lol
That is a hell of a nice-looking place.
hope john has a speedy recovery,
very nice to see strawberry shortcake on the job
That pond is beautiful!! Loved the French drain !
Glad to hear John's doing well, make sure he doesn't rush back to work to early. Great video Chris. Take care.
I hope for John's speedy recover. It would be strange not seeing those knees.😀
Right
Glad John is recovering, prayers.
That angle blade on the Mini is slicker than frog spit. Great job!
Happy to hear John is doing well.
Prayer upon him.
Good Lord that pipe truck sounds like my bones and muscles in the morning when getting out of bed!
Awesome work! Once that grass takes youd never know it was there!
I like how they put grass on the step to get into the cab of the Semi!!
That was a nice quick little job . I’m sure when you complete every job no one can feel that you have been there
Speedy recovery and best wishes and prayers for Big John.
Happy that John is okay. Prayers for a quick and full recovery. God bless.
Please pass on best wishes for a speedy & full recovery to John from here on the other side of the Pond.
HI CHRIS, WHEN THE RAIN FALLS, CAN YOU COME BACK OUTSIDE AND SHOW US THAT DRAIN WORKING, WATCHING FROM BARBADOS, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
Yep, I was going to ask the same thing. :)
Have a speedy recovery John!!! 🙏

You obviously haven't watched his Vet Hospital videos!
@@spamlessaccount That is for sure. That was a nightmare of a long job. I swear the ground was breeding rock.
Guess your unlucky
Watch Chris on the animal hospital job there you will see plenty of rock .
That’s a good sign of skill
Great job on this project! Wishing Uncle John a speedy recovery!
Please give John my best wishes and a speedy recovery .

I love the way the side of the big green truck that brought the pipe folds down. Neato!
Tell John we have him in our prayers, too young for such nonsense as operations. :(
Nice job, I thought you would haul off excess dirt but you lost it. 👍😊
Ha, we was Sure Chris was going to have to haul off some dirt too, especially when he filled the trench wit rock. 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤭
@@annafraley5388 Skill. 👍😊
Glad to hear John is doing well. As always enjoyed the video. Nice quick little project.
Wishing Big John a speedy recovery from the Dorthy family !

Strawberry Shortcake rides again!
Call her by her proper name: Сєвєродоне́цьк, and say it caringly and tenderly.
Glad to hear that John is doing ok will keep him in our prayers, Nice little job Chris turned out awesome.
That's good that John is doing well and I was counting the number of buckets of gravel 12 in total definitely better to have more then not enough and did I hear the bucket hit some rock awesome job Chris 👍

Please do wish John all the best for his recovery. Like seeing the old fella sneaking round in the background wondering who he is. :)
Some folks play golf, visit beer bars, or other stuff; Chris digs trenches for fun. That's a true fun zone. Heal quick John!
An amazing touch and a great result.
Good job Chris as always! Glad John is doing good! We will be praying for him!
That is some really excellent advice on that floating catch basin. Thanks man.

Good lookin job Chris those french drains work good
God bless u and the family, most important thing there is buddy.
How many of you counted loads as he was loading the truck with the backhoe?? Lol
I do that every time he loads a truck, not gonna lie.
Heck I even find myself shaking my phone when he pulls those big tree stumps full of dirt. Haha.

Another awesome job completed with strawberry shortcake and one of the best operates I've ever seen.lol
Will you walk in the rain and show us the output? That is the best part. When you can say "works like a charm"
You guys have some nice topsoil down there. Unlike NY we have 20 stone to 1 dirt
Chris you should have one of those new transits that you operate right from in the machine. It's portable so if you jump from one machine to the other you take it with you.👍
Prayers for Big John!
Good to wrap gravel with Geotextile drainage fabric. Fines from clay will eventually clog gravel.
