    That’s turned out fantastic, I watched this one from day 1, & it’s really good to see the end product, thanks for sharing Chris 👍👍

    This is the cream on top from watching one of Chris's pond refurbishment series.
    Getting to see how it ends up after all that hard work he put into it even with an under the weather period added in when he was not feeling good.
    That pond ended up a masterpiece of beauty.
    Chris is a machine when it's time to hit the grindstone.
    His customer had to have been estatically tickled pink with joy how it turned out.
    Thanks Chris for posting this one.
    By the way Chris, I love that flyover and the music selection.

    I 75 this year, live in Canada and have fished since I was seven years old. This pond creation is awe inspiring. The fishing possibilities are massive. Obviously you have the financial resources to make this dream pond a " Utopian Fisherman's Paradise ". If you need to recoup any money ?, this pond would pay for itself by allowing fishermen to pay to catch and release fish. Maybe put a small log cabin by the wooded area and sleep there by this amazing man made Heaven . Thanks for sharing your vision with utube and everyone.🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍

  • @HammerPowered
    @HammerPowered 2 года назад +4

    Probably one of the best transformation jobs you've done on the channel that I recall, anyhow. Looks 1000% better, especially in the head section and getting rid of all the swampy, dead material up there.
    And seeing Winston is a bonus. We had dalmatians growing up, so, always got a soft spot for them.

    @MrLargePig 2 года назад +5

    Thanks for showing us the final results! I expect you know, thousands of small dams, many of them on private property, are coming to the end of their lives. Some weren't built right, some are overloaded, and some are just plain old. In Virginia, we've had a couple dam failures, in the past few years, and people have died as a result. Maybe you ought to specialize in dam repair? Not just because they're fun to watch (though they are) but it seems like there's a real need. Widening this dam, and putting in new overflow and spillway, gives me confidence that this one will last a while. Well done.

  • @donnaflanagan6612
    @donnaflanagan6612 2 года назад +24

    Oh wow Chris, how good does that look!!! This pond needed a lot of TLC, so much crap at the head end. Watching the initial drone footage reminded me how bad the condition of the dam had gotten. There was a couple of parts that just seemed really unstable, like big holes on the back side. Now, the dam is stable & strong, & the whole pond is aesthetically pleasing😊 Excellent job mate. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

    @genesispuredeaf2390 2 года назад +1

    Its hard to Believe that the dam held back as long as it did. I speculate with the rains that just came in, the old dam would have lost the left edge (looking at the pond). Lots of highlights ….glad that your haul truck is working out so well.

    We don't get to see the full after-effects of your pond work very often. This is almost like a treat to see it back full and with the changes you made. I think this turned out much better than the client could have hoped for. That head-section is gorgeous and it's clear the new damn is in much better shape and the overflow is not longer a question mark at best. Great job... and thanks for the treat.

    @lukelambert4595 2 года назад +14

    Awesome work, Chris! Love the style of riser you used and really love the dia. pipe you used on the horizontal section. Seems like the bigger pipe the less force at exit and the less erosion control necessary. Mine is about 2 acres bigger but has a slightly smaller horizontal pipe. It shoots out full force. Riprap everywhere at the discharge. I don’t like it near as much as what you’ve done here. Anyway, love watching your work 👍.

    Chris I believe this is one of your best presentations. I often questioned why you didn't bring a dozer in once you found a solid base, or used multiple haul trucks and didn't use more sturdy mats, but you got 'er done and it turned out beautifully.
    Now let's gets some next-generation mats made.
