I know you probably won't see this Chris, but I appreciate you man. So nice to sit here with my 4 year old Grandson and not have to worry about the f word being used or any other non family content on your channel. Very refreshing. Thank you sir.
This property is OUTSTANDINGLY amazing!!! The scope of the project requires the expertise of Chris....driveway, cellar fix of barn, tree removal, pond repair/new, site prep for new house, etc. And, the drone OVERVIEW (the before) is great! Thanks for explaining what is going to be done....sure helps us.
I really appreciate you giving us a walkaround of your job site. It gives me a vision of your mission ahead. Country boys like me have no problem using an outhouse, it's better than going in my pants. Now get back to work LOL
So many luthiers and woodcarvers out there lamenting the loss of that huge cherry tree. It's such a nice wood to work with. Great vid, Chris. Thank you for the overviews and the explanation. I know Bealy Good will be happy with the results.
I like that the homeowner is going to tuck the house back into the trees. Keeps the house cooler and just looks better rather than clearing off everything. Good plan!
@@Skorpychan if you hit the ellipses (three dots) at the top right hand corner of the video you select the playback speed. I always watch them at x2 which cuts the videos times in half 👍🏼
Hey William that’s me I like his videos ranging from 30 minutes to an hour I could sit here all day and watch those long videos of Chris doing his thing. Lmaoooo
I would have been at that one tree for a least a day with my bobcat and helpers. Crazy. Three buckets of soil and I comes right down. It good to know your business. Chris certainly does.
Great, back at the Bealy Goode Farm with the 220. Be careful with angry limbs with those spider tracks in the windshield. Looks like there will be lots of firewood left.
It's a good thing you don't tire of taking down trees, Chris!.... Cuz this job looks MASSIVE! If you never needed THREE burn pits, this site might be the first. 🤯
Finally a video I can give a little bit of advice.....Chris take a mental note of the main wind direction has you are taking down a lot of trees that are acting has a wind break take the trees away and the trees you are leaving will be taking the full brunt force of the wind which in turn could blow over the existing trees on to the old homestead or even the new build.....people never take this into consideration I used to estimate insurance claims and its nearly always the same thing removed some trees left the odd nice one near or close to the home and without surrounding trees for protection from wind hurricane tornado etc they go over pretty easy.....hope this info helps out...Stay Safe LD18
Can you combined all the series on each project to time lapse of complete project. It amazing to watch the transformation. Keep doing what you do best.
Hey Chris doesn’t anyone use wood for heat around there. Damn I would just follow you to work and pick up all the wood I would need from your throw away pile
Chris, that "Volvo Chainsaw" is awesome. Ground that hard... seems as thought I remember you saying many jobs ago that you would like a job that wasn't in the mud...
I don't understand why anyone would dislike these sorts of videos what did they come here expecting to see? Maybe it's the other guys who still haven't learnt how to make a proper dam/pond and clear ground properly yet?
I’m dead serious I just cut an old cherry tree in my yard that died, looked exactly to a T just like the one you laid over. It was work though because it was hovering over the house, power line, and a storage building😂
Chris this job is going to get some damn good videos off of it can’t wait do you get back on it and go back to clearing but one thing about that hard dirt like that it can rain and you can keep on working I know it’s aggravating getting the trees out of the ground and I hate ground like that when you’re clearing but anyway brother another great video you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man.
Awesome video, been waiting on a 40.min one, haven't uploaded any that length in a while hopefully 25 min ones are not the new norm because you make the coolest videos an 49 minute ones are just that much better, thanks for sharing
The great big trees look like Penn Oaks with all the limbs growing straight up. Many varieties of this but none in North Carolina that I know of in Virginia we have Swap Oak varieties
You're a good operator. But I had to chuckle when you griped about the dirt. In my area half of every bucket would be rock. That's sandstone and flintrock in west central Missouri. Thanks for the videos.
And the people up here in the northen states such as North Dakota and surrounding states buy that lumber like it's special they use it for molding inside their house around windows, doors ,base boards, cabinets, if you have a Menards close by ge and check it out and look for that lumber you will find it inside the store in the around the area where they have the molding
Been watching the jobs where you are using the 250, was thinking you had lost your mojo, as the 250 seems rattley and jerky and not as smooth ,but watching this, I see you still got it Great work, great operating skills
gigantic project. Bit sad to see all that forest taken down. It's pretty. But I understand. Wonder how you avoid running into rattlers in the back woods. Lots of cover for them. Gonna be fun watching this project progress.
Really would hire your service if ya can come out west to Taylorsville NC… got a big patch of land needing work… pond build, pecan tree clearing, driveway, two house sites…. Wish we were closer to each other…
Cherry is some really good Smokin wood for grilling! It’s expensive down here! I love it mixed with pecan, makes a delicious flavor when smoking meat! Another good job, thanks for sharing Chris! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
there are 2 trees that are marked as save that the owner might want to reconsider...the maple with the rotten spot and the tall oak tree just beyond the maple.... the rot on the maple is probably just as bad on the inside as what you see on the outside and the tall oak has a least 2 very long dead branches visible part way up the trunk...there are 2 other large dead branches stuck in the ground may have came from the oak tree... these "widow makers" indicate that the tree is in decline and can become more dangerous as the branches die off just thought I'd mention it I've had to deal with it on multiple occasions
I don't knoCw about pulp wood. Will they take all varieties of trees.. Chip miills don't want black walnut. We had to burn the walnut waste in the kiln to dry lumber.. We could use the bad Logs in the pallet making. We chiped the slabs and burned for dryer heat. Sawdust too.
This is a great project. It’s fun to get comments from the owner during the process. I like how you have answered people’s questions/complaints about the tree removal. Some folks don’t understand how thoughtful thinning of the trees makes those that are left healthier. Are you filming the renovation of the old cabin?
@@katschs3965 Thanks! Yes, I’ve been filming the process and posting over on my channel. I also filmed Chris walking around with us and doing some clearing , so a different perspective.
Looking forward to you bringing the the "stumper" next time, haven't seen you use it much but should be good for the hard ground on this job like you said, love the videos
I like your thumb on this machine the best, it looks a lot more stout then the other thumbs and plus I really love how u have the dog bone on this thumb because then your able to rap the thumb all the way back to the bucket when u have the bucket cylinder pulled all the way in!!! U can just do so much more when u have a lot more maneuverable thumb! WHY DONT U HAVE DOG BONES ON THE REST OF YOUR THUMBS ON YOUR OTHER MACHINES?!!
It would be nice if the property owners could get together and agree to take out the dam on the property line and have one big pond. Looks like you made good progress.
I know you probably won't see this Chris, but I appreciate you man.
So nice to sit here with my 4 year old Grandson and not have to worry about the f word being used or any other non family content on your channel.
Very refreshing.
Thank you sir.
It's easy to underestimate just how much power that excavator really has. That thing's a beast!
Really glad your doing the before and after video to reference us viewers.
That's why Chris is the best
On our channel, I added the pre-walk around video with Chris

I have a lot of drone footage of the property on my channel. Took some of Chris too. Will post tonight or tomorrow.
@@BealyGood Thanks for chiming in, I know you will be supremely happy with the job Chris does.
@@Mephiston Absolutely. He’s top notch.
I really appreciate you giving us a walkaround of your job site. It gives me a vision of your mission ahead. Country boys like me have no problem using an outhouse, it's better than going in my pants. Now get back to work LOL
At least now a days there tp. Not a old sears catalog to use.
Don't you mean using a bush or a tree to hide behind?
@@assassinlexx1993 I haven't even seen a Sears catalog in over 40 years, good thing there's TP
@@normhowes2975
Lol yeah TP is a lot better for the job at hand.😉
I have a problem with black widows getting my dangling bits.
What a pretty area to put a homestead in. These people are eventually going to have a wonderful place!
We hope so! Thanks!
Love the sound the trees make when you crunch them, and I love the fires.
As others have said this is a good size project.
Let the transformation begin. I hope it is a deep pond .
Chris, you get really nice jobs. Your reputation must really be great around there. From your videos it's evident that it's well deserved.
So many luthiers and woodcarvers out there lamenting the loss of that huge cherry tree. It's such a nice wood to work with. Great vid, Chris. Thank you for the overviews and the explanation. I know Bealy Good will be happy with the results.
One of the neighbors is a carver (sculptor?). She’s going to come by before the weekend and pick through stuff.
@@BealyGood well that's good to hear...
I like that the homeowner is going to tuck the house back into the trees. Keeps the house cooler and just looks better rather than clearing off everything. Good plan!
Trust me its not boring to see a 50 minute video of you doing work ,
30-40 minutes is about right, IMO.
@@Skorpychan if you hit the ellipses (three dots) at the top right hand corner of the video you select the playback speed. I always watch them at x2 which cuts the videos times in half 👍🏼
Hey William that’s me I like his videos ranging from 30 minutes to an hour I could sit here all day and watch those long videos of Chris doing his thing. Lmaoooo
@@rrek7 I know, but I like watching them at regular speed. I have patience.
But less than 30 minutes feels a little short, and 50+ seems like a grind.
Can’t Wait to see the “Stumper” arrival at this job site so it can remind us how great a job it does.👍
Man, what a great setting for a home.
guilty of clicking Like before watching. Anyone else?
Uh. Yep 🥴
Yep. Lol
Almost always
He deserves it
I always do!!
I would have been at that one tree for a least a day with my bobcat and helpers. Crazy. Three buckets of soil and I comes right down. It good to know your business. Chris certainly does.
No matter how many times I watch it still amazes me the power of those machines snapping big trees like popsicle sticks
When tree huggers have nightmares,,, I'm positive Chris is the one after them. 🤣
Great, back at the Bealy Goode Farm with the 220. Be careful with angry limbs with those spider tracks in the windshield. Looks like there will be lots of firewood left.
Burn pile should be ready just in time for the 4th of July cookout.
What a beautiful sight with everything so green
It's a good thing you don't tire of taking down trees, Chris!.... Cuz this job looks MASSIVE!
If you never needed THREE burn pits, this site might be the first. 🤯
Chris makes the dis-limberment look so easy with his Volvo. 😊
Have a good night

I’m excited as heck for this series!
Man this is gonna be an awesome project!!
Can you combined all the series on each project to time lapse of complete project. It amazing to watch the transformation. Keep doing what you do best.
Hey Chris doesn’t anyone use wood for heat around there. Damn I would just follow you to work and pick up all the wood I would need from your throw away pile
This is already starting out to be an awesome project bro and even the long drop got a cameo. Safe travels up your way
Can’t wait to watch the progress . And looks like a good size burn pile
Yeah I know
Thanks for the cool video. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Chris, that "Volvo Chainsaw" is awesome. Ground that hard... seems as thought I remember you saying many jobs ago that you would like a job that wasn't in the mud...
Chris your video’s are great, if you keep watching all of them you have a chance seeing from start to finish. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
It wears me out just thinking about your work schedule.
So fun watching you chop up those trees with the digger. Chainsaw?! We don't need no stinkin' chainsaw!! :D
I don't understand why anyone would dislike these sorts of videos what did they come here expecting to see? Maybe it's the other guys who still haven't learnt how to make a proper dam/pond and clear ground properly yet?
Don't you just love the sounds of the Volvo, and cracking tree's, music.
I’m dead serious I just cut an old cherry tree in my yard that died, looked exactly to a T just like the one you laid over. It was work though because it was hovering over the house, power line, and a storage building😂
The front porch on that house is awesome.
HUGE bucket! I don't recall ever seeing the digging bucket in the grading bucket. That is just HUGE!
love the crunching sounds when clearing
Can't wait to see the transformation on this project would love to see the finished product with the house.
I’m posting progress of both on our channel.
Chris, Nice working!
I'm an excavator operator in Korea.
Your video is very interesting to me!Thank you for uploading the video 👍
glad you got a heads up on the out house
Be nice to see video of the completed projects after the water fills the ponds and the land recovers. If you have the time!
I bet that's some rich soil. Grass is so green an pretty even in the shade. That's a cool place
Drone footage gives me Planet Earth flashbacks! :)
..and away we go, good one,keep safe and have a great week..
Have to click the like button so I know I’ve watched the video. Slowly watching all of the videos. Just fascinating.
Thrilled to watch the new project. Good Luck
Chris this job is going to get some damn good videos off of it can’t wait do you get back on it and go back to clearing but one thing about that hard dirt like that it can rain and you can keep on working I know it’s aggravating getting the trees out of the ground and I hate ground like that when you’re clearing but anyway brother another great video you and John and yawls family stay safe and keep the videos coming man.
Happy to see they are saving the old house. I'm working on one from 1905.
I cannot wait too see all this work. New recent subscriber
Awesome video, been waiting on a 40.min one, haven't uploaded any that length in a while hopefully 25 min ones are not the new norm because you make the coolest videos an 49 minute ones are just that much better, thanks for sharing
It's a wonder that those big tree haven't already demolished that old farm house. Love the videos 😊 thanks 👍
the trees are fighting back,
Ok I'm waiting for a miracle over here got to be something better than just watching you knock down trees
Very big job lots of trees to get out
Great project Chris, can’t wait to see the final product!
A perfect way to end a fun Mother’s Day! Thanks 😊
Your projects are so huge How come I do not see a lot of people around your projects with you. Your #1 fan
One thing about those old outhouses is - beware of wasps, not in the roof but under the seat. Yes it happened. I was just hanging around and BAM !!!
The great big trees look like Penn Oaks with all the limbs growing straight up. Many varieties of this but none in North Carolina that I know of in Virginia we have Swap Oak varieties
You're a good operator. But I had to chuckle when you griped about the dirt. In my area half of every bucket would be rock. That's sandstone and flintrock in west central Missouri. Thanks for the videos.
Tree is beautiful beautiful Oak

Looking great Chris 🇺🇲 it's a big job 🇺🇲
Lot to remove. Love the before drone fly over.
The machine looks huge from the first angle for sure!
Been watching the jobs where you are using the 250, was thinking you had lost your mojo, as the 250 seems rattley and jerky and not as smooth ,but watching this, I see you still got it
Great work, great operating skills
Did Chris say “ Fire 🔥 Pit” Yep ya we et another fire 🔥. 🤪🤪🤪
Going to need some chain saw blads for this one chris
Chris has the best video content and is a pleasure I SAID ITS A PLEASURE to watch
gigantic project.
Bit sad to see all that forest taken down. It's pretty. But I understand.
Wonder how you avoid running into rattlers in the back woods. Lots of cover for them.
Gonna be fun watching this project progress.
We don’t have rattlers. He did find quite a few Copperheads.
That's a really nice property and some really big trees.
Super relaxing video for sunday coffee after long sleep in :) Thanks dude!!
Always enjoy the drone shots at the start. Gives a good idea of the size of burn pile your gonna have. Can’t wait for the next video.
Beautiful property, and you know what each tree is! Another pond, awesome Chris! Going to be good videos! Thanks for sharing brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What an exciting new project! Looking forward to see all the progress.
Really would hire your service if ya can come out west to Taylorsville NC… got a big patch of land needing work… pond build, pecan tree clearing, driveway, two house sites…. Wish we were closer to each other…
Gettin ready to watch another great video
This is absolutely true, this about the windows.
You do not want a glazier to dig a pond.
Cherry is some really good Smokin wood for grilling! It’s expensive down here! I love it mixed with pecan, makes a delicious flavor when smoking meat! Another good job, thanks for sharing Chris! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did anybody else get excited when he said fire pit? I sure did I thought of some brats, steaks and adult beverages. I love bonfires.

surprising when you take a few trees down how much light it lets in !!!!!

Love to see the big 250 at work.
Where's a 250?
Beautiful piece of property
Always good to see another great video!!👍
Love the new drone music.
