      It's not always very easy to show the finished ponds after they have grown in and stuff since some of the pond jobs are several hours away from where they live. If I remember right, the 5 acre one he did a couple years back was like 3 hours from his house. He was able to give an update on that one recently since he was in the area.

It was very interesting work and I had to order all the parts for the different cranes and excavators and various equipment that they had. I also billed out their work. I could tell some very interesting stories about things that happened. The main thing I wanted to say was though I wasn't seeking out this type of videos they showed up in my recommended viewing. I clicked on them out of curiosity. I was hooked by the first video because of his finesse in his work. His work ethic totally shocked to me. His work is of the highest caliber and I would delight to hire him if ever I needed his services.

    I remember a pond that my friends and I fished at which was about a quarter of the size of that one. It too was located where the water table was close to the surface, and we had a blast using little poppers and so on to catch (and release) panfish and too-small bass. I've got a feeling that this pond will become a fishing hole.
    I'd like to see a short video after it gets filled with water. Also, I would not be surprised if you were to snoop around in the woods, looking for seeps - and one of them will turn out to actually be a decent spring if you dug a little. I've seen that several times over the years... sometimes seep springs (a few gallons an hour) to ones that flowed pretty good. That would pretty much guarantee that the pond could hold fish (also, some native underwater grasses really improve the habitat and help with the duckweed!).

    Just discovered the channel, and subbed. I figured why watch a movie when I can watch an hour and a half of this. It's calming.

    Newcomer to the channel here. Just want to say a couple of things:
    1. You're a poet with an excavator. I've seen surgeons less precise with a scalpel than you are with a 48" bucket.
    2. I love your work ethic. Always a quality job done well with attention to the details. No backsliding for a quick buck. I really admire that.

    We had a pond dug in 1983 with a drag line. Our kids were young and it was the center points of our life for our family and neighbor kids and fires and hayrides.center trench is 15 ft deep and it's 150 ft long and75 ft wide (approx) springs were opened up when dug and when you swim down deep it is ice cold even when the top few ft are warmed by the sun. It's still mowed around and we have family parties back there yet.I guess the reason I'm telling you this is our pond was and is good for family gatherings and our kids( near 50 years old) still talk of good memories they have of the pond to their kids.I never thought much about the thought you go thru digging a pond and your plan to do it.great videos and I thank you for them

    That's an old portable toilet with the tank, urinal & sink taken out (can see the bolt/rivet holes).
    It's identical to the ones at the range I use in NM.

    I always have thought it was strange seeing you build these tanks around 4 or 5 feet deep, then I remembered you guys get so much rain you don't have to worry about them drying up very often. Here in TX where I am from we have to dig them deep to hold enough water to try and make it through droughts. The two tanks on my place are around 12 foot deep and I have seen them both dry at times. Your skill with a bucket is awe inspiring, I wish I could work my backhoe half as good as you run your equipment.
