    Always nice to come home after putting up a tv wall mount for elderly (he hee, I'm 69 myself) friends of my wife and there's a Chris Letsdig18 episode popped up on my feed.
    The Bealy Good farm seems to be a never ending pay check for Chris.
    He even had a fellow RUclipsr helping.

      A buddy of mine purchased a dozen Conex boxes a few years ago to make a cover garage for his farm equipment. He stacked them two high and 40 feet apart, and then put a roof structure over the gap. Anyway to improve the looks of the Conex boxes he painted them with old time barn advertising art (think Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco, Burmashave, etc)

    Always a nice clean job when Chris is running the bucket. Was great to see Devan there with you guys. You should hire him to help clean up Jeff's other land. He's great with the mulching machines. Looking forward to the next phase of Jeff's (I mean Mrs. Bealy Good's) dream house.

Anyway, anyone who hasn't checked out the Bealy Good channel should since there's a lot of content with Chris that you don't see here on Chris's channel. Like Geoff shows them setting up the footings, which you don't see in Chris's video. And there's usually a lot of funny stuff being said between Chris and Geoff, lol.
