Treating us to two demo projects in less than two weeks and more demo next week?! Chris, you are the best! I'm glad that your Uncle John is on the scene too, we miss him.
That was slick, Chris. It was great seeing John as well. I had wondered in the past why you had smaller piles of brush/trees when you weren't burning but hauling off, makes perfect sense. Look forward to demo day. Thanks for sharing.
@@davidqueen4719he hit the first piece with the bucket digging it out…looked oddly like a bucket creased it…and unfortunately no video of it or the battle to install it either!…plenty of video slipping the bell end on the other side though…hmmm!
There's no point in tearing down the Well House and destroying A perfectly Good Water Well especially how much a New water Well would cost because that Water Well could be pumped Out and hooked up with a Air compressor and use the Air compressor to pump out the water from the Water Well to A storage Tank and using a regular water pump to pump the water from the storage tank to the New Home build !
It's been a while since we say Chris's uncle John and his awesome dump truck helping Chris. That's not to bad a pile of debris for him to haul off compared to some jobs they did in the past.
I've seen that kind of Belt drive stuff before. I bet the engine ran that shaft and the belts connect it to the saw mill tools. the last time I saw that was when I was visiting amish work worker... and they buy old tractor's just for that belt drive.
Yeah, it's basically what was used before each tool started having their own electric motors. You could use steam power to drive the belts for example. But yeah, probably Amish related.
Very productive day, especially with moving in equipment and expanding the culvert entrance in 1 day. You made a great start after removing the trees. Can't wait to see the old molded house cleaned up for good. Great video, Chris.
Hi again Chris the shaft you pulled from the old barn is a line shaft it powered the saw mill and other belt driven machines and has been around since the industrial age which was 1800 or 19th century
Camera off for attaching the pipe so we don't see the bad language involved with it? Sensible. Don't want to get demonetised. Also, 'bell end'. Hehehehe.
Don't it just make ya shake ya head, when people say dumb shit like that Chris , "Why not just drop the tree's on the house" !! Hell, it cost ya enough as it is to get hauled off as it is, let alone throwing more crap in with it that don't belong in that kind of load !! Can get a lot more expensive real quick !! Yes Sir !! that's going to make the driveway way, way better widening it like that !! Good to see Unk helping ya out on the hauling, nice to see him every once in awhile !! Boy, Geoff has his hands full with his house building going on, and all the side projects too !! lolol... That's a good thing though, keeping ya busy !! Great as always Chris, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
There is a lot of sorting to do when watching videos and getting to see what one wants first requires a bit of checking what's in the feeds, LetsDig 18 gets fast tracked to the top (sorry DP you not far behind )can't miss the action of what the machines are achieving each day . Funny how it's now Machines,but still only the Chris Factor (fresh not frozen lol)
Good to hear the oak trees are bing saved. That culvert shore was short - now serviceable. Old shed - a story in history in demolition. Pine trees fell hard. Uncle John looks great - still goes on a wander when truck is being loaded.
Sometimes Chris is like talking to your dad. The logical side of things seems to pop out. It would be really fun to drop one of those massive trees on the house. I'm fine with the fact that he didn't drop a tree on the house. I just want him to admit it would be fun not logical Just say for once in your life that would be really fun. Chris must be between girlfriends or something he's working awfully hard these days. 😂
Just looking at the shed you pulled down with the old machines ,maybe a old joinery barn with the old planers etc have seen the same here in NZ years ago
You had me flummoxed there for a while! In our neck of the woods, demo primarily means demonstration, making me wonder if you were going to stage a "How I Do It" show of some sort for those living close enough! Re those strips of roofing metal - during the 70s the so-called Decramastic Tiles were the rage, until they were walked on and the sand ran off, causing blockages and leaks. Removing them was an unpleasant job. 😊Col, NZ
I enjoy your channel I do a lot of mulching and clearing on lake wedowee in Alabama but we run Deere because of dealer support we are in the middle of nowhere. You take pride in your work like me and that creates repeat customers my son is 12 and he helps me on jobs running my equipment when he is not in school hope he takes it over one day. Great job!! I would love to try Volvo but Deere has taken care of me and we have no other options besides cat and the are very expensive to repair
Those pulley/belt things are an overhead line shaft for a workshop where all the machines are powered from a single power source. Usually from the steam era or early ICE era.
Could be other factors at play too. Like maybe it's a code of some sort, dumps won't take it, too far away to truck it, etc. At the end of the day it's good stewardship for future generations. I was just watching a video yesterday about how in Europe they are finding ways to recycle most building materials, even on the same site of new construction. I think that kind of reuse is really cool. I actually have quite a bit of furniture that is made locally from what used to be snow fence. Super durable and cool to give it a second life.
Every 2-3 jobs you've done have resulted in a new (to you) machine so I'm curious what the next toy in the fleet is. Maybe we should start a pool to see who can guess what's next. I'm thinking you're almost maxed out on excavators & track loaders/caterpillars so maybe Barney will get a new friend or 2! Either that or another trailer of attachments for the upcoming projects. Cheers & God bless.
I was thinking either a bigger or maybe a second haul truck. Then he could excavate faster. If he had two, he could fill one while the other one was being dumped by a helper.
I'm happy to see Big John and you still get along, most times when people leave to go elsewhere the other guy holds a grudge and Dissolved the friendship over time! Very happy this didn't happen. Jeff really wants the metal that you spent time separating, then he should have been there also‼️👍
Looks like you found an old sawmill set up. As a restorer I cringed when the engine and jackshaft were pulled out. Probably too far gone anyway. Keep on working your magic.
Well there are times that chris puts On the demo man hat Pond builder rd builder land management turn woods in to pastures so many hats for one Person to ware lolo guess that's why we like his channel never know what to expect
Good to see John. I miss the days when it was Chris, John & Timmy working together. I would see if the state would move that road sign that is now at the edge of the driveway.
Hello Chris and it’s nice seeing John again. Like everyone have wondered about how he has been going ? Or is he still doing projects, on his own ? Chris you suggested you were going to need sand and some clay. So why not build a large burn pit and then burn all the trees and timber ? 🌻
Used to happen but many localities stopped because going through them to make sure there isn't anything like asbestos or other stuff that will become an environmental issue and the smoke pollution it can cause just makes it not worth the effort.
So true, so true it all makes sense now. My thoughts exactly, about why not drop those two big pine trees down on top of the house? But do you know what is more impressive about you, is the ability to read our thoughts even before we are even thinking of it.
I love how you can operate your equipment with such precision. I with you in saving as much as you can by recycling everything you can. You have to this day and age due to elaborate increase in cost. Great job looking forward to demo of the house.
You have accomplished a lot already, of course, that was to plan, as usual. Setting those culvert tubes and making the connections, I’m thinking who needs to use force when you can just tap it in place with the excavator, sweet. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching another plan come together.
Say on demo day while scavenging through the house debris you were to found a 500lbs free-fall dumb bomb a left over from WWII would you still take it to the dump for the 💰?
Some will say that you get more done when I’m not around. But don’t believe those lies. 😂
Another job for you. And a lot of jobs withing for you
That's completely untrue Bealy
Ain't you supposed to be doing concrete work today?? 😅
No pizza party when you aren't around
Inked the deal to demo the house so Chris went and bought a roller …. Thx Bealy.
Maybe a new haul truck’s in the pipeline
Good old uncle John back on the job. Not seen him for a while now.
Yes a Long while actually
He was looking good too like he lost some weight 😶
Uncle John on the job!! "Must be jamming out" 🤣🤣 Rock on Uncle John!! Great to see you.
Nice to see your uncle working with you. Thank you and have a great day.
Yes it is
Good to see your Uncle John and doing some trucking for you. Hope he is doing well.
That’s the first time I’ve seen your uncle in a while!
Hope he’s well
Love to see Chris work with his Uncle John. They need to dredge a pond together soon!
Good to see Uncle John. Been a while.
Treating us to two demo projects in less than two weeks and more demo next week?! Chris, you are the best! I'm glad that your Uncle John is on the scene too, we miss him.
That was slick, Chris. It was great seeing John as well. I had wondered in the past why you had smaller piles of brush/trees when you weren't burning but hauling off, makes perfect sense. Look forward to demo day. Thanks for sharing.
Good bit of work to prep the area for demo!! And, we got a quick Uncle John sighting(in the truck)!!
That was a smooth maneuver to push that pipe together without even getting out of the mini excavator.
Chris always makes it look easy
Was going to comment the same thing
He should have shown the first connection that he said was real fun also.
@@davidqueen4719he hit the first piece with the bucket digging it out…looked oddly like a bucket creased it…and unfortunately no video of it or the battle to install it either!…plenty of video slipping the bell end on the other side though…hmmm!
Nice to see your Uncle John, haven't seen him in awhile
DEMO DAY! I guess Mr.Bealy isn't moving in LOL
It was good to see Uncle John watching the nephew work!
Glad to see your uncles back in some videos!
I was thinking "why not drop a tree on the house for the fun of it??" and 3 seconds later he answered my question. That was weird..
He was referring to Geoff's previous comment about it on earlier video
I know it’s a pain to separate the tin from the framing, but it sure beats a hammer and doing it by hand!
Does John have anyone working for him now ?
There's no point in tearing down the Well House and destroying A perfectly Good Water Well especially how much a New water Well would cost because that Water Well could be pumped Out and hooked up with a Air compressor and use the Air compressor to pump out the water from the Water Well to A storage Tank and using a regular water pump to pump the water from the storage tank to the New Home build !

Save that bandsaw someone would want that Keith Rucker would probably restore it
You Sir should demonstrate to surgeons who use mechanics arms to carry out modern surgery techniques? What a demonstration of skilful digger use.
Working that mini like a surgeon fitting that pipe, love the teardowns.
Good to see Uncle John and he is in his Safety Shorts ;)
Hey uncle John long time no see! Hope all is well.
I was half expecting that Chris was taking today off, this is like a bonus episode of letsdig18.
Great seeing uncle John awesome work as always Chris
I've seen that kind of Belt drive stuff before. I bet the engine ran that shaft and the belts connect it to the saw mill tools. the last time I saw that was when I was visiting amish work worker... and they buy old tractor's just for that belt drive.
Yeah, it's basically what was used before each tool started having their own electric motors. You could use steam power to drive the belts for example. But yeah, probably Amish related.
I hope somebody salvages those old belt pulleys. That's probably 1st gen cast.
IT was good to see John, i had wondered how he was doing?
Very productive day, especially with moving in equipment and expanding the culvert entrance in 1 day. You made a great start after removing the trees. Can't wait to see the old molded house cleaned up for good. Great video, Chris.
It's good to see Uncle John, it brought a tear to my eye seeing him climb out of that truck rockin a pair of jorts. I hope he's doing well.
Thanks like the video and very glade to see uncle John .
The long axle with pulleys is called a jack shaft. It allowed a single power source to run several different machines.
Also called a lineshaft.
It’s good to see uncle John again. Looks like you still doing well.
Hi again Chris the shaft you pulled from the old barn is a line shaft it powered the saw mill and other belt driven machines and has been around since the industrial age which was 1800 or 19th century
Good to see John looking good.
Good to see your uncle John
Have you ever knocked a building down with a bulldozer?
It’s good to see Uncle John!
I'm surprised Chris didn't use his Indeco IMH-5 mulcher head to clean up the driveway ditch.
Camera off for attaching the pipe so we don't see the bad language involved with it? Sensible. Don't want to get demonetised.
Also, 'bell end'. Hehehehe.

It's called a line shaft for steam powered equipment in a shop
Antique stuff from the Walton days of wood milling. Good seeing your uncle John again. Happy demo day.
Glad to see Uncle John again.
Are Volvo Excavators better than Deere Excavators? Cheaper??

John still have the same Volvos or has he upgraded any?
Has John got a new truck?

Good to see Uncle John again. Looks the same, shorts, button up shirt, phone in shirt pocket and work boots. Hope he is doing well.
Those pulley/belt things are an overhead line shaft for a workshop where all the machines are powered from a single power source. Usually from the steam era or early ICE era.
Always wonder whether the salvage value of the tin is worth the extra time, effort and fuel cost of separating it out?
Could be other factors at play too. Like maybe it's a code of some sort, dumps won't take it, too far away to truck it, etc.
At the end of the day it's good stewardship for future generations. I was just watching a video yesterday about how in Europe they are finding ways to recycle most building materials, even on the same site of new construction.

No, but it is better to get a few bucks for it rather than paying a few bucks to dump it.
Nice long video with plenty of task to be watched. Nice to see Big John.
Damn chris If you want to destroy that motor you could have told me.I Live only an hour away from where you at
Every 2-3 jobs you've done have resulted in a new (to you) machine so I'm curious what the next toy in the fleet is. Maybe we should start a pool to see who can guess what's next.

hi uncle Jon.. been a while since he has been in one of your videos.. nice clearing of trees and shed, looking forward to the demo of the old house..
I'm happy to see Big John and you still get along, most times when people leave to go elsewhere the other guy holds a grudge and Dissolved the friendship over time! Very happy this didn't happen. Jeff really wants the metal that you spent time separating, then he should have been there also‼️👍
Chris you really enjoy you're type of work don't you
It shows how good you are at it
What's cracking John? Hope ya doing well!!
That "pulley doodad" is what is called a jackshaft for belt-driven machinery, like saws, planers, and shapers and drills, and all kinds of tools.....
That looks like one of Uncle John's trucks....is it ?
Looks like you found an old sawmill set up. As a restorer I cringed when the engine and jackshaft were pulled out. Probably too far gone anyway. Keep on working your magic.
Well there are times that chris puts
On the demo man hat
Pond builder rd builder land management turn woods in to pastures so many hats for one
Person to ware lolo guess that's why we like his channel never know what to expect
Please show a landscape pov when pushing a tree that is entangled. Thanks for posting, as always.
Out of all your equipment the Yanmar mini is my favorite. Love watching.
Good to see John. I miss the days when it was Chris, John & Timmy working together. I would see if the state would move that road sign that is now at the edge of the driveway.
Well, I guess you won,t be " Tying yellow ribbons round these old oak trees"
Hi Uncle John.
Dang Chris you make adding pipe look to easy. A lot more ginger loading Uncle John's truck than old Barney. Good seeing John. Thanks for the video.
Hello Chris and it’s nice seeing John again. Like everyone have wondered about how he has been going ? Or is he still doing projects, on his own ?
Chris you suggested you were going to need sand and some clay. So why not build a large burn pit and then burn all the trees and timber ? 🌻
Looks like Bealeygood is going into the housing development business. I reckon he did good on the farm. Amazing how you are a one man site prep.
Why not have the fire department come out use the house as practice?
Used to happen but many localities stopped because going through them to make sure there isn't anything like asbestos or other stuff that will become an environmental issue and the smoke pollution it can cause just makes it not worth the effort.
@@kenore4003 ok thinks have a good night!
That multi angle bucket looks to have great advantages.
So true, so true it all makes sense now. My thoughts exactly, about why not drop those two big pine trees down on top of the house? But do you know what is more impressive about you, is the ability to read our thoughts even before we are even thinking of it.
AINT GONNA LIE… I DID ENJOY WATCHING YOU FRESHEN UP SOME RETENTION PONDS BACK IN THE DAY…
I love how you can operate your equipment with such precision. I with you in saving as much as you can by recycling everything you can. You have to this day and age due to elaborate increase in cost. Great job looking forward to demo of the house.
Time to check in with Winston?
Funny, I was watching an old video with Uncle John in it earlier today and I was wondering how he was doing. And then, he is in this video!!
Boy the tilt on that bucket makes life a lot easier.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊❤
You have accomplished a lot already, of course, that was to plan, as usual. Setting those culvert tubes and making the connections, I’m thinking who needs to use force when you can just tap it in place with the excavator, sweet. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching another plan come together.
Good to your Uncle John is still able to get out and still work.
Demo and Uncle John in one video?! Great job and good to see Uncle John looking well.😊
Trees crashing on the house would have made a great thumb nail for your video. Great video.
That old industrial stuff can be worth quite a bit of money to interior decorators.
Please tell me you are going to use a few of the trees to take out the house. It would make my inner child's day.
Another great video bro and good to see John too. Safe travels. Ken.
Although, I think it would be kind of fun to see one of those big trees go down on the house 😂😂
Say on demo day while scavenging through the house debris you were to found a 500lbs free-fall dumb bomb a left over from WWII would you still take it to the dump for the 💰?
Nice work on the driveway
Hey Chris just wandering how much a tilt bucket costed I have got a yanmar vio 55
There's some sawmill historians that are fuming right now because they didn't get an antique sawmill video and opportunity to put it in a museum.
That shaft and sheves are the best line that ran what I'm assuming was the saw.
You need Kate to help run the jobs but you'll have to fight Charlie. Maybe I can start a bidding war for Kate's services.
