🙂 I remember a while back you were working with seemingly endless mud when you expressed a desire to see some dust!! The same thought must have crossed your mind a few times on this project!
Always a treat watching you work in the mud. (anywhere actually) Project is coming together nicely too. We appreciate you taking us along for the ride. Thanks for posting your video's Chris.
Well, you can see the end getting close. Of course the weather threw more rain at you, just so you didn’t think it was going to be too easy. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Hi from uk chris and uncle john👋👍 you guys work so well together 👌 its like watch a four man team in in halfs 😂💪 am surprized to see this mud off the first phase stacking up now for wet it was lol but good job guys nearly there and cant wait to see thethe look from dam to head once done it'll just be so open and free from brush👌 but in minute once the pond is full be nice to see this one with the dock 👍 I remember last year did tight one not much room for machines on path but guys where knocking up a dock too whilst you where scratching round banks like "" dont mind me""😂 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
I've spent my entire 70 years living in the lands of glacial till. It's taken me a while to get used to the look of this piedmont(?) mud and clay you dig in. More used to the boulders and gravel look. Interesting how it silts about. Interesting how it handles and dries out as well. Around here they would be selling that stuff as 'clean fill'.
That field, or whatever the mud dump becomes, ought to be pretty fertile with all that sediment in there now. Pond looks more like a pond now. Good work.
Huge project! I think it's amazing you did it with like minimal manpower and 2 excavators. Hoping you can stop by during the waterfall build and show updates? Cuz , ya know waterfalls🤩! Thanks again, you're amazing!
Another insightful video Chris, with a spool of black electric tape you can eliminate that flashing light. ;-) All I know about “check engine warning lights” I learned from the Click and Clack, the Tappit Brothers on NPR, Saturday mornings. Wishing you and your team another great week. Peace brother
Imagine u are going to be thankful when this project is finished, and u can see the fruits of ur labor. Well done!!! Thank u so much for the video! God's blessings and stay safe!
Crazy, unpredictable weather! We're having our second or third day here in KS of 90% Temps! Supposed to have 3 or 4 more, then rain on Sunday I believe. You would be dried out!
Chris I appreciate you so much, its so awesome to be able to watch a masterclass every single day. Thank you! I have been watching your vids for 3 years, now. This weekend i finally get run a yamar mini, ill video tape some of it. beaver dams/ two culvert pipes and i have to build a road. 3 days. first time ever running a machine. we shall see how it goes! ~Frankie
I finally figured out the difference between an Excavator and a Bulldozer... one moves dirt backwards and the other moves dirt forwards!🤣😎Great videos Chris!
'Guin's Mud Mountain' was constructed in 2022 (for the history buffs)! Great day's work with inadvertent tree destruction. Wondered if that storm caused damage.
Ole Betty is paying her way…lol…(ROI) If Chris had a dime for every shovel of mud he has moved, he could have retired long ago as the dredge King of NC…lol. Great job.
I think he could retire already. I believe he just loves to see what he has created after he's done. I've never seen anyone run equipment like Chris and I've not seen nothing that he can't run. One thing for sure when you hire Chris you hire a working knowledgeable man not a time rider for sure. At the end of everyday he has done 5 times more then 5 guys together
Ponds coming along nicely Chris. I'll bet you'll be ridiculously happy to see the end of this mess of mud movin'. 1 good thing is, ya didn't have to dodge any snakes.
Well as bad as it is, it could have been worse with the swim area as soupy as the head section and the haul road not working out. You could have been there for months moving soup twenty times down by the dam to load. Imagine having to haul this off site due to lack of space. Lots of things went right and it will be nice when you are "on to the next" so count your blessings young man. After all, you are the king of ponds!!! Had one in a subdivision here in Missouri that they were dredging and they somehow broke through some rock into a cave and whole thing went sub terrain. Last I heard engineers were trying to figure out a way to plug the hole and fill it back up.Lots were sold as water front and it also was required for storm water retention. So yeah count your blessings for sure.
Maybe stockpile some of the white oak trees you cut down on jobs, maybe you can come up with an easier way to join them up to make mats, white oak 'if you didn't already know is a good/great outdoor wood as it tends to have special properties against water.
Why is there so much mud in that pond? Was it there from when they built the pond or did it fill in from silt coming in from the stream? Either way, it’s such a sight to see how thick you piled it up on the open field
Chris could make a short clip, just with the of the mud hitting the ground with the sound. 😉 Weather being nice working in the mud what else could a guy ask for? 🤔
I am amazed at how much you get done, especially in the mud. The mud can be like ice. Too bad you did not get the truck incident on camera......: That is a serious amount of mud you hauled out . I can't imagine your fuel costs with the prices as they are right now with all your trucks and your excavating hauling equipment running all day.
That's a lot of mud at the top of a hill. Are you going to do anything to make sure it doesn't become water logged and slide down the hill? Maybe like a french drain?
@@letsdig18 Cool. I live in a country with two seasons, wet and damp. And the damp season isn't exactly warm enough to dry stuff out if it wants to be waterlogged.
Think i would of just went and looked at the neighbors pond, or bought a place on a Lake!! Nice work Chris, Love the videos, just to big and deep for my pockets
Can you do a drone shot of this job so we can figure out the layout and see what you have done and what is going to be done please. Been watching your work for about 2 years or so. Very interesting indeed and excellent filming and editing... Nic, Auckland, New Zealand
That's alotta damn dirt lol. Too bad you weren't closer. I have about 6 acres of woods and rock that needs about 150k tons of nice clean fill like that.
Have you had time to evaluate if the purchase of the haul truck was a good thing? I haven't heard you say that the truck helps you complete the jobs faster and more economical. To me you made a good choice. As always be good be happy abd be safe.
Sediment deposits over time. Sometimes nearby new construction makes runoff into the pond. That happened to us. neighbor built a pond and a barn pad and didnt say anything(he was upstream from us). Our pond depth went from 16 feet to 5. Guess who needs Chris’s skills and doesnt have access to them? Oh well.
I like that you're cranking up the narrative and personal reflection and truth be said, John's still a damn fine operator. Must run in the blood. I would add this 250's a beast in disguise. More!
@@davep1445 Who can tell, Dave. It was just the 220 seemed a little slower, albeit the operator knew his stuff, and perhaps, John said okay finally, to a little Uncle time. Who knows? Sorry, got the wrong thumb.
@@letsdig18 There ain't many times you get a definitive answer on the Tube. I sort of realised when you picked that mat out from in front. But still, kudos to him and anothet great daily update. I really appreciate.
Are the wheels on the haul truck supposed to lock left and right as well as front to rear? Dirt Perfect seems to have an issue with his haul truck locking left and right.
Coming along nicely. Almost to the finish line. Was that a camera in John’s 220?? Is he coming around to that, or did he say to put it on the outside and that’s all??

I love it that 'you always have a plan'. It will be nice to see this pond when it's finished & filled. Greetings from an old jarhead in WNC.
That tailgate has proven to have been a much needed addition. :)
Believe it is a different haul truck not his personal truck
It is Uncle John's truck they added the tailgate for this job.
@@brianbabb6666 sure is
No one thinks. Two seperate sets of equipment. 2 companies
🙂 I remember a while back you were working with seemingly endless mud when you expressed a desire to see some dust!! The same thought must have crossed your mind a few times on this project!
Sliding at the dump site sounds like there is no boredom. Uncle Jon and Chris have created a new attraction in North Carolina -- "Mud Mountain".
Always a treat watching you work in the mud. (anywhere actually) Project is coming together nicely too. We appreciate you taking us along for the ride. Thanks for posting your video's Chris.
Uncle John looks pretty smooth on the excavator too
Looking good Chris.Hard work does pay off well done 👍🏻
I think that shirt and your gray one is your favorite love your work😉

I live next to the San Francisco Bay! There are many types of mud smells. Dawns here ☀️

Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧.
The 250 works efficiently,
but it's a damn elephant too.
Seems like that pond going to fill up fairly quick
Not a lot of knowledge about what you are doing but do enjoy watching it
That field, or whatever the mud dump becomes, ought to be pretty fertile with all that sediment in there now. Pond looks more like a pond now. Good work.
Coming along really great gonna be a nice swimming hole.

At least the brake warning sensor doesn't put the truck into limp mode :-)
Isn’t it limping enough with 7-scoops of pond muck?
Crazy, unpredictable weather! We're having our second or third day here in KS of 90% Temps! Supposed to have 3 or 4 more, then rain on Sunday I believe. You would be dried out!

Hahahahaha! You said "video tape".... you must be as old as me.
@@christopherwedemeyer2993 Camcorder has been charging all week!! LOL
You definitely know how to handle whatever Mother Nature throws your way. Attitude is Everything. 😬👍
When your about done, grab up all them rocks and make a pile in the deep section fer fish habitat!! Project is looking amazing Chris!!
Wow that mud is taking a lot of scoops to move and remove
I finally figured out the difference between an Excavator and a Bulldozer... one moves dirt backwards and the other moves dirt forwards!🤣😎Great videos Chris!
Chris, this pond has been a fascinating series, I bet it will be a beautiful pond once it is full and settled out.
'Guin's Mud Mountain' was constructed in 2022 (for the history buffs)! Great day's work with inadvertent tree destruction. Wondered if that storm caused damage.
Seeing the waste area and the path to it makes me wonder if Chris came up with the dirt plan.
There are times when I really wish I had one of those machines!
Ole Betty is paying her way…lol…(ROI) If Chris had a dime for every shovel of mud he has moved, he could have retired long ago as the dredge King of NC…lol. Great job.

This is not Betty, these are his uncles vehicles
Betty is the cat loader Barney is his off road truck
He has made way more than a dime for every Scoop of mud and he has dredged
@@Thecowboy1950 If he was getting ten cents a scoop he'd be making about $25 an hour.
I feel bad for the POOR haul truck!
EVERYWHERE it goes it's up to the AXLES in mud...while it's FILLED with the stuff. 😳
Barney’s a good’un- he doesn’t complain!
@@cathiwim that’s not Barney.
Ponds coming along nicely Chris.
I'll bet you'll be ridiculously happy to see the end of this mess of mud movin'.
1 good thing is, ya didn't have to dodge any snakes.
Every winter he fusses about the mud.... But he gets his burning done.... Not as much this year sadly.
Chris thanks for sharing! Kevin
Chris you are a mud magnet. But I can see a fabulous pond for these home sites. Good job.
Looks great Chris as always 🇺🇲
...LOOKIN' GOOD, COMIN' ALONG NICELY. KEEP SAFE..
It's basically a from a muddy hole too the mud mountain, 👊.
Looks like Mister John is just as smooth as Chris! Nice economy of motion there!

For the time you have spent there it has come a long way bro and is looking good. Safe travels
At least you're not having to use a mat squeegee to dig mud this time! 😀😃🙂🙃😊 A silver lining in those storm clouds! 😀😃🙂🙃
Learn something new on every video. Thank you Chris!
Did you ever think that in 2007 when the channel started that you’d have more than 428 million views by people watching you move dirt?! 🚜❤️🇺🇸
A belated Happy Muders Day to you.
That’s a Trophy 🏆 pond , can’t wait to see it full of fresh water. Talk about a bass hole .
Looking better and better
Maybe stockpile some of the white oak trees you cut down on jobs, maybe you can come up with an easier way to join them up to make mats, white oak 'if you didn't already know is a good/great outdoor wood as it tends to have special properties against water.
I love the way you work. You’re so chill. Your videos are so enjoyable 🙏🏽👍🏽🍺cheers
Great video and well done, thank you for sharing, if you keep doing pond jobs like this you may need to buy a long reach excavator? Just a thought! 🙂
They're kind of a one trick pony but sometimes it the perfect tool although it may be more economical to rent one if needed.
Ok, thank you!
Why is there so much mud in that pond? Was it there from when they built the pond or did it fill in from silt coming in from the stream? Either way, it’s such a sight to see how thick you piled it up on the open field
Chris I don't know your timeline on videos but I recognize that the mud dried out enough to have grass growing maybe it will stabilize.
I see that Volvo makes a 750 and with that you could drain the swamp in DC and boy oh boy would that make a great video. And I'd send you $$$$.
Thanks Chris 👍👌🥰🇬🇧🍺
17:50 talk about perfect timing... hahaha geez Chris you're a wizard :D
Excellent progress!
Chris could make a short clip, just with the of the mud hitting the ground with the sound. 😉 Weather being nice working in the mud what else could a guy ask for? 🤔
I am amazed at how much you get done, especially in the mud. The mud can be like ice. Too bad you did not get the truck incident on camera......: That is a serious amount of mud you hauled out .
I can't imagine your fuel costs with the prices as they are right now with all your trucks and your excavating hauling equipment running all day.
what size are the timbers in a mat and how much are they? are they bolted togetherwith all thread?
Happy to be subscriber and follow your videos amazing work u do it is a job in itself tackling Mudd u make it look easy
Man that would be a lot of dirt to put somewhere if you dredged that entire pond.
Looking good.
That's a lot of mud at the top of a hill. Are you going to do anything to make sure it doesn't become water logged and slide down the hill? Maybe like a french drain?
It's dry enough now it won't move
My question is what is the customer going to do with all of that MUD
@@dirtfarmer7472 spread it all over the place when it drys I guess
@@letsdig18 Cool. I live in a country with two seasons, wet and damp. And the damp season isn't exactly warm enough to dry stuff out if it wants to be waterlogged.
Think i would of just went and looked at the neighbors pond, or bought a place on a Lake!! Nice work Chris, Love the videos, just to big and deep for my pockets
Can't hardly wait until it's completely finished and full of water. The only bad thing is that you don't get to walk all around the pond.
Man, the pond is taking shape and looking awesome and my friend (Lets dig 18 aka Pond doctor )
Definitely rewarding work
Can you do a drone shot of this job so we can figure out the layout and see what you have done and what is going to be done please.
Been watching your work for about 2 years or so.
Very interesting indeed and excellent filming and editing...
Nic, Auckland, New Zealand
Intriguing to know what the pit divided into three bays is for?
It's coming along.....
And the mud will never end! 🤭 Chris, I call you "mud dealer" now.
Wish I had all that stacked up for topsoil
Having brought the 250 has given a big change to the work
That's alotta damn dirt lol. Too bad you weren't closer. I have about 6 acres of woods and rock that needs about 150k tons of nice clean fill like that.
It's time to grab some logs like they used to use before mats.
Evening all
I've looked at the prices for new mats. Yikes!
Have you had time to evaluate if the purchase of the haul truck was a good thing?
I haven't heard you say that the truck helps you complete the jobs faster and more economical.
To me you made a good choice.
As always be good be happy abd be safe.
Really enjoying this project but where does all the mud come from??? .... presume it wasn't there when the pond was built .

Our pond depth went from 16 feet to 5. Guess who needs Chris’s skills and doesnt have access to them? Oh well.
And the horn always makes me laugh. 🛵 The 220 and 250 deserve a more manly horn… like a train horn! 🚂
I think that mud at the dump site will
be dried out in about 6 years
Can the mud be useful for anything in the future?
good pond video
I like that you're cranking up the narrative and personal reflection and truth be said, John's still a damn fine operator. Must run in the blood. I would add this 250's a beast in disguise. More!

No I had to run the 220 while he met with the contractor
@@letsdig18 There ain't many times you get a definitive answer on the Tube. I sort of realised when you picked that mat out from in front. But still, kudos to him and anothet great daily update. I really appreciate.
Seems odd that people having pond repairs don't have islands for wildlife and for fishing structure
I came across a company that makes rubber tracks for rear wheels let's it float . Makes them Volvo's look tuff
Do you guys leave the equipment idling all day, or do you shut it down during periods when you're not actively using it.
Between truck loads it runs but not if it's not going to be used soon
Looking good. A whole lot of movement. Thats a shame they don't just dredge all that out.
I trust the owner who's paying for this development realises that a pond is like wine "it takes years to develop".
Are the wheels on the haul truck supposed to lock left and right as well as front to rear? Dirt Perfect seems to have an issue with his haul truck locking left and right.
DP's differential locks are not working. He mentioned he is working on that.
Just put a Culvert pipe in that wash out and make the road wider that's the things about the track dump truck you don't need roads for it
Dawns here ☀️
with all that mud Chris is dredging, finding Jimmy Hoffa wouldn’t surprise me a bit. 😆😆😆
Coming along nicely. Almost to the finish line. Was that a camera in John’s 220?? Is he coming around to that, or did he say to put it on the outside and that’s all??
Pushing more mud
Can you make a Video explaining how to start a Company like this, when I graduate high school this is the career that follow in
Hi Chris! I was wondering if the haul road is going to be part of the permanent pond... Ron...
No it will be removed, I believe that is what he stated in the video.
@@dennis2376 Yes, I jumped the gun... He said it right after I posted... LOL! Ron...
Happy Happy Joy Joy more mud more mud lol
How bored do I have to be to sit here and watch you shovel mud? 😂😂😂
Better with grading bucket
