The behind-the-scenes look at this project is fascinating. It’s amazing to see the logistics and planning that goes into something of this scale. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for posting Chris. This kind of project perfectly demonstrates your talents with equipment and your desire to show up whenever Geoff calls. He is very fortunate that you show up and complete his required tasks so perfectly! I suspect you and Geoff have very similar work ethics.
Mr Geoff,"is this what we need to buy now " Answer is , no Geoff its what You need to buy ,Chris will just use it lol. I like the Wee thinking , wee together,wee working ,wee the team ,puddles not included
'Dingo' talk about confuse an Aussie! Old 220 has been busy. 'LetsDig18 waiting for Bealy Good' -LOL Going to be a beautiful home which will stand for many years.
Chris’s forbids his equipment to rust, however a little bit of patina is acceptable on the equipment he owns that was made in the previous century because rusty equipment means it hasn’t been earning its keep.😁 Have a great day and a better tomorrow
Why do you say that? He is building his dream house. Everything he wanted and more that's great for him, I hope he and his wife are happy. You sound a little jealous, or you have sour grapes
Yeahhhhh,,, you sure you’re qualified to call this a money pit? The construction like this is about 30% more than regular stick build and the bigger the home, the smaller that percentage gets. Come sale time, especially in the higher end markets, you can get up to 50% more than a similar stick built home. The utilities are much less so you recover costs there, there’s no dealing with cracks in the drywall a year later due to shrinkage in the lumber, they are QUIET homes! This isn’t Geoff’s first, second, or 3rd home. It’s what he is doing in his free time, basically. He is building, has built, homes for other clients, he is building, has built, spec homes as well. Something tells me that when all is said & done, he won’t be too far over budget,,, as long as the “might as wells” don’t take over,,, GEOFF!! 😂😂😂. It’s going much slower than is typical as he isn’t working on this build full time.
With Geoff's money and your talent to operate those other guys are sitting in the cool watching. Those Dingo's replaced the old wheelbarrow to move rock, dirt and concrete. Keep up the fine work and with todays pay will cover the price of that fine BIG SHOVEL you just took delivery of.
Chris. On the Bealy Good building Place.. The Plan 200 Tons Gravel inside the Mansion to fill. Building a Rampe and Drive the Dozer in the Mansion. Then fill You have Gravel with the Excavator in the Mansion, and grading with the little Dozer. You fill all Rooms. However the Perfect Work from You. The Video good
Great job moving that much stone, fun watching you get a new piece of equipment (dingo) and you make it look like it is a piece of equipment that you use everyday!
You and Jeff always have a great time working no matter what you are doing. Almost like brothers. You definitely have been teaching Jeff a lot about running equipment.
Nice job, one lot of gravel/stone, you handled that little Bobcat like a pro, wonder why🙄😉. Nice to see the progress, sure aren’t letting grass grow on the 220, nice to be busy, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
The amount of gravel used on this house and pool is ridiculous. And everyone leaving should not surprise you, very few like to work anymore, and raking gravel isn’t that hard. Great job.
So true!! I just finished moving about 10 ton of gravel by hand. It’s a my cabins so I just hung out with the dog and did it myself. Took about 2.5days but I wasn’t working too hard! 😂. It looks great and now we pour a rather large patio with an integral custom hexagonal fire pit being poured as well. Gonna generate a lot of heat the pad will retain for hours and loads of good conversations, snacks & meals. There will be a pole with a grill that slides up & down with stops every 1.5” all the way up the steel pole to about 24” above the coals. The grill can swing 360 degrees. It has a steel plate that goes in one of the sides that will mostly be left open. There will be two steel channels that hold the plate. It can be set to let air into the fire making it almost smokeless, and take the whole plate out and it’s really easy to shovel out the ashes, into the bucket of our loader & spread them in the pasture. Easy peasy, assuming the engineer’s calculations in his head (aka my head) are correct!! 😂😂.
@@half-breed - if Chris is using a rake and there’s no one else around,,,, they were needed. You move it by machine, but there still lots of raking to do filling the corners, cleaning off the ledges and footings, finding high & low spots. You can’t finish the job without those guys and they left. AT NO TIME should Cris be wasting his time with a rake when there’s a crew to do it!! They are standing around doing little to nothing while he was dumping the rock, then when they are needed, yes needed, they disappear. That was a mistake and it ultimately falls to Geoff or a supervisor he may have appointed. You gotta go by what Chris says here. He is the expert and aware of the entire job to be done.
You know Chris one day you'll have machines like the dingo only with two robotic arms and autonomous trucks so you can a crew that never gets tired hot or hungry and does it the way you want it with out having to baby set your workers 😊
And, Poof !! He Gone !! lolol... Ain't that it Chris, start working , and all the help runs off and hides !! lolol... That freaking house is gonna be stout, for sure !! lolol... Guess, you guys have to, or can hurricane proof your homes when building them, if ya choose ?? But, Great as always Man !! Have a great Evening, And, On too the next !!
On my basement, we used pea gravel (which is plentiful in my area) in a mixer truck plus a chemical that made it very workable. I’m sure much cheaper but not available in all areas. This was more entertaining as I wasn’t the one manning the shovels & rakes.
Chris here were i live we have slingner trucks that will sling that crush Stone in the bassement and even spread it around almost to perfection.....there amazing to see.
That was funny Mr Bealy Good. That is the problem with some humans when hard work starts everyone scatters. :) I also notice the last person to be working is the older person. Thank you and have an awesome day.
I’m picturing a giant portable ramp that the dump truck could back up next to the exterior wall and just pour the gravel straight in…I’ll leave the design to the engineers though! ☺️ This project keeps getting better & better!! 👏👏👏👍👍👏👏👏
building a ramp like that capable of handling the weight of the rock and dump truck would cost a lot and more time than it took them to move it with the machines they used.
I'm glad you're there to foil Geoff's plans. His day laborers would quit. If the gravel was more accessible. You could've got a lot done faster with the 220.
Good job as always Chris. From 7 guys to a Chris and a helper video. What happened to all the green grass? Only see 2 foot weeds around the pond the crazy weather in the states is getting worse.
Don’t know if they are popular in your area or not but where I live in south western British Columbia Canada, slinger trucks have pretty much replaced excavators for placing rock in basement floors.a good operator can damn near lay it in level and on grade.
That looks like more than a house, I seems like it could double as a bunker as well, steel and reinforced concrete is not the normal home construction materials.
Show up with your new shovel & when Geoff asks what's going on, just tell him that's all you could afford with his payments.
Bucket backwards is good training for cable shovel :D
Would have loved to see Geoff's face if Chris showed up with the cable shovel for that job lol
Geoff and Chris are having too much fun. Good way to enjoy life!!!!
Chris, you always make driving/operating an excavator such a "piece-of-cake" when we all know it's absolutely not.
The behind-the-scenes look at this project is fascinating. It’s amazing to see the logistics and planning that goes into something of this scale. Keep up the great work!
Now is the perfect time to have a conveyor. Tell Geoff that C&C Equipment has 1 for sale. Great progress.
Haha, C&C is a few miles away. You could move all the rock in before you could get to C&C, but it would have been a lot easier with a conveyor.
Geoff is a great customer 😊. That's a fancy house.
Thanks for posting Chris. This kind of project perfectly demonstrates your talents with equipment and your desire to show up whenever Geoff calls. He is very fortunate that you show up and complete his required tasks so perfectly! I suspect you and Geoff have very similar work ethics.
And are true friends
Mr Geoff,"is this what we need to buy now "
Answer is , no Geoff its what You need to buy ,Chris will just use it lol.

12:30 Chris driving a dingo.. I didn’t know I needed to see it till I saw it😂❤
Wow, that was a lot of rock. You moved it very efficiently. Nice job, Chris.
You know you're "part of the project" when you ARE the counter-weight on your earth moving equipment.
I think the last part you were filling in is the bealygood vault where he can swim in his money like Scrooge McDuck.😂👍
Its a tornado shelter 😉
That little Dingo should have been spreading as fast as it could from the beginning.
Lol. Lol. I loved Jeff pulling around with the small loader! Lol. Very cleaver Chris.
Chris your operating skills are awesome! You’re saving Geoff money and time! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
You have definitely been knocking the rust off all the equipment lately
Chris’s forbids his equipment to rust, however a little bit of patina is acceptable on the equipment he owns that was made in the previous century because rusty equipment means it hasn’t been earning its keep.😁
Have a great day and a better tomorrow
I hope Geoff has enough millions to put a final shine on this project. Good luck to him as this is one of the largest "money pits" I've seen!
Haha u nailed it
Why do you say that? He is building his dream house. Everything he wanted and more that's great for him, I hope he and his wife are happy. You sound a little jealous, or you have sour grapes
I think he’s playing with house money,,, f ewe kinda money
🇺🇸🇨🇱
No way to lose , just increases property values of what they are developing!
🇺🇸🇨🇱

Well this video definitely ROCKED!!
Good to have customers like Bealy Good
Looking good. 👍👍
Your always working so hard Chris
Here's a 🍺
With Geoff's money and your talent to operate those other guys are sitting in the cool watching.

Great job moving that much stone, fun watching you get a new piece of equipment (dingo) and you make it look like it is a piece of equipment that you use everyday!
Love the video Chris on Mr Bealy Good Mansion , that alot Gravel in side Mansion .
[0:32] Dog-dog says: "Better than no safety fence" :-) [22:34] That's clean gravel. The mansion's coming along.
Holy shit, Chris is on a Bobcat. Never thought I’d see the day of glory.
You and Jeff always have a great time working no matter what you are doing. Almost like brothers. You definitely have been teaching Jeff a lot about running equipment.
Something tells me this could put the Clampetts to shame. Can't wait to see the concrete pond.
Not a bobcat fan but that little rig looks functional!
Such Precision, CRITICAL THINKING ❤Let's Dig 18! No matter what,,,
They are great for back filling foundations in tight quarters.
You two get into more interesting and fun situations it just isn't fair.
Thos Dingos are COOL! Could use them all over my place! Wish I wasn't old now as I have finished all my crap that needs doing but dang what fun!
Your 220 in shovel mode looks weird but you are so smooth operating you make it look easy. Love your videos.

I would guarantee the rock and trucking fees are enough to feed a small African village for a year or two. Lol
They are not needed when you have equipment, you think it's cost effective to move it by hand ?

amazing how when the work starts allergy season starts and workers become allergic
With the bucket on backwards it is kind of like the new cable shovel, but with more reach.
Damn, Geoff has $100k+ in just gravel building the house😂
The job is going well. The Bobcat looks very handy!
Just curious if you’ve ever used one of the stone slinger truck for a job like this. What is the cost of it compared to doing this way?
It would have been cheaper with a slinger for sure
On my basement, we used pea gravel (which is plentiful in my area) in a mixer truck plus a chemical that made it very workable. I’m sure much cheaper but not available in all areas. This was more entertaining as I wasn’t the one manning the shovels & rakes.
Been a good job for the 350 and the new 4 yard bucket
It is the 220. 🤔
@@dennis2376 I know it's the 220 I said if he bought the 350 with new bucket it take less time
@@nm0519but he might not have been able to move around
@@cathiwim Sorry read it wrong.
Good place for the Dragline with Clamshell bucket. Longer reach😊
Chris here were i live we have slingner trucks that will sling that crush Stone in the bassement and even spread it around almost to perfection.....there amazing to see.
Nothing like doing a job with a skeleton crew ....🤣
What you didn't being your " new" cable shovel 😅. Day like that , is AC cool cab day.
That was funny Mr Bealy Good. That is the problem with some humans when hard work starts everyone scatters. :) I also notice the last person to be working is the older person. Thank you and have an awesome day.
Good job mate love your work I reckon Geoff s mansion will be a landmark in those parts ❤
Great job 👍🏻 3:52 love the guys shirt 15:49 love the skeleton 😂
Geoff and the jokes! Sure made quick work of it.❤
I'm surprised you don't have any kind of walkie-talkie to communicate to each other at times like this. Wow.. that's a lot of stone.
They have cell phones, sheez
❤❤❤ awesome job
LetsDump18!
🎉🎉🎉
nice job. seeing these kinds of jobs reminds me of the jobs I took gravel to with my conveyor belt truck I drove in portland Oregon good times.
The 350 and the monster bucket would have been nice. But it went quicker than I thought it would.
I’m picturing a giant portable ramp that the dump truck could back up next to the exterior wall and just pour the gravel straight in…I’ll leave the design to the engineers though! ☺️
This project keeps getting better & better!!
👏👏👏👍👍👏👏👏
building a ramp like that capable of handling the weight of the rock and dump truck would cost a lot and more time than it took them to move it with the machines they used.
Geoff has done a crapload of work!!its gonna be gorgeous!
This would have been a great job for the cable shovel!
😂😂 Im not sure the Bealy good house would be much left after... but the videos would be amazing.
Good morning everyone I hope you you enjoy your day we have rain on the way to day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sunshine and hot for us at 30 degrees C.
Its 6 degrees and rain
This would have been a good job for the big bucket 330, if you still have it. Could have sat here waiting and saved some movement on the 220.
Mount an action camera to the boom and monitor it on your phone, then you can see...
Chris here in NZ if we have guys go and come back when the work is done we call them blisters (they come out when the works done) lol
In America they're called goldbrickers, not that Chris is one by any means.
In my neighborhood in the USA, we call them lazy bastards or useless bastards.
Looks like another busy day .good job Chris
In my neighborhood, we have rock throwing trucks. Have a long belt on them and they can throw it around like a concrete pumper.
You need to get a couple of wireless cameras 📷 so you can mount them where you need them for visuals on equipment 😊
Payloader needed😅. Great video!
Great Vid 👍👍
Belt drive shaft drive chain drive , you do you we will watch .love your work ,keep it up 😊
Your really have some mad skills. 😎💖
I'm glad you're there to foil Geoff's plans. His day laborers would quit. If the gravel was more accessible. You could've got a lot done faster with the 220.
Enjoyed this video bro, that was a lot of stone going in there. Safe travels. Ken.
Great job
Looks awesome 👍
Jeff went around to check tire pressure on skid steer
Bom dia meu amigo
The Force is strong with the excavator man🤨
Good job as always Chris. From 7 guys to a Chris and a helper video. What happened to all the green grass? Only see 2 foot weeds around the pond the crazy weather in the states is getting worse.
Hey Chris, you put some eyes on that bucket and I believe you could go anywhere
About time we see some Doosan Bobcat action in your videos. Even if it's just the MT 😊
That last room looks like Geoff gold and gun vault
interesting able to get a fuller scupe with the bucket backwards, good filmin bealy good stuff. what a nice project 220 is perfect
Now that’s a lot after gravel
...would've been a Perfect job for the dragline with the clamshell bucket!
Chris, did it take you awhile to learn how to run the little bobcat? lol Good video, thanks 😊
Lot of rock , going be a show place for sure💯💯💯
An aggregate conveyor, directed over the wall, may have worked. If it had, would have been a lot easier.
Don’t know if they are popular in your area or not but where I live in south western British Columbia Canada, slinger trucks have pretty much replaced excavators for placing rock in basement floors.a good operator can damn near lay it in level and on grade.
That looks like more than a house, I seems like it could double as a bunker as well, steel and reinforced concrete is not the normal home construction materials.
This is a house of the future- he’s gonna need those walls!
How many yards of concrete did it take to fill the wall forms?
Beats the wheelbarrow don’t it?
