Let The Compacting Begin...Does The 850 Have Enough Booty??

It's time to start shaping up the dam. It's also time to see if the 850 has enough to pull this thing around and compact the dam as it goes up.

That’s going to be one heck of a pond/lake, looking good DoubleD

I was going to ask a question about the dam build, thank goodness I usually procrastinate till the end of the video, I would of sounded like an idiot for asking when I saw it because about 10 minutes later you answered it, and boy I don’t need any help in the idiot department, I do just fine with out any help!!! 😮😊😂😂😂. Thanks for the update, enjoy watching the project come together.

I enjoy your podcast ex-specially when you are running the 953-C, track loaders are actually my favorite. As for the Poison ivy doctor told me that hot water as hot as you can stand it on your skin you may have to repeat several times, it will dry it up. you can drink/ eat - ginger tea, ginger snaps cookies, or get ginger root it's self helps against poison ivy. So keep up the great videos you make .

Thanks Jerry!

BOY you've revealed a lot of steps involved to get a dam installed. Seems like a lot of overriding labor but all is needed. Curious (no need to answer) do you do a job like this by the hour or set price (plus additions as needed!) OH and don't underestimate the capabilities of *the 850* ! Thank you kind sir & stay safe!

[@Dirtdaddy953]

I'm having to be very careful with this one. I'm splitting hairs with making sure to get enough of this clay over the cut to seal off any potential pace for the water to travel. This clay isn't the best and it requires lots of compacting. There is also a couple rock layers I'm trying to seal off. It might seem redundant but I have a method to my madness. Thanks sonny!

[@RussCarey]

Never seen it done like that i must say.

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Seen what?

[@sonnyblazer5504]

QUESTION for you DD: Notice at 48:35 over YOUR right shoulder that thing in the sky? Think that's the MOON or possibly *ALIENS watching what you are doing* ?

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Lol....I had to go back and watch. Not sure, I'm guessing moon (maybe ET)🤷‍♂️😂
