"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but your Volvo is so delightful and since you've no place to go, let it Burn, let it Burn, let it burn" ... Happy New Years Chris !
A little bit of a short teaser episode but any Letsdig18 episode is a make my day episode. Can't wait to see Chris really getting in on working this project. I always like his pond rescue projects.
Love watching brush piles get hot! At 1:36 in the video the 'puddle you're referencing' is technically called a "plunge basin". Basins can be any size as required by the pressure and size of the pipe needed for drainage.
Nice siphon work for us mob to see. Burning on cold, wet muddy days bit of a drag but work has to be done. Goose neck trailer on the way - great for business and a job with Justin - fun times ahead - looking forward to it.
Watching you burn brush is loads of fun. Thanks for sharing, Chris. A very Happy New Year to you all. Glad you're gonna do something with Justin. You two always make me smile.
Nope !! Not going to check the pond out today !! lololol... Yep, hard to get moving when it's all funky outside but, it's Winter going to be nasty for a little while yet, before spring gets here !! Great as always Chris, Have a great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Thanks for the update. Nice burn for as wet and green as it was. Nice to hear you are looking at more projects and keeping busy. Happy New Year young man, stay safe.
Chris, thanks for another year of great video content. Wishing you a safe holiday weekend and a blessed new year filled with peace, prosperity, happiness and good health. Stay safe out there, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. Cheers.
I don’t know why but siphons are just so satisfying. Used to have to rent a pump every few months to pump down this one pond, but I cut a siphon into the sod, set up a suction hand-pump and valve, worked like a charm.
We didn’t see Chris assembling the siphon: I’m assuming there is a check valve (foot valve) on the pond end of the pipe to hold the water in during filling?
Yup check valve in the pond and a hand valve on the downhill side. Fill it up, seal it, and open the downhill valve. Beautiful in its simplicity. My setup was only a 1.5 inch pipe so I could get away with a priming vacuum hand pump to pull enough water up and over the pond dam to start the flow. When the water was low enough it would break suction and automatically stop.
The Pond Water to let off with the Siphon! A fine Idea, better as with the Pumping Station . The Burning from Thicket from this Pond Dam, for You a Routine. Thanks for all Your Fascinate Videos in this Year! I hope You make in the next Year farther. I wisch You and your family a happy New Year 2024 🎉🍀🍄🐞🥂
Just love watching this man work never gets Boring nor do I feel like fast forwarding un like an other one i watch always fast forwarding that one think you all know the one I am on about Thanks for sharing another days work with us and the burn pile as I just have a thing for burn piles Cheers Chris
Oh yes!! Love the burn vids!!Happy New Year early, in case i get busy! You know, living in NC gives you distinct advantages, weather wise. Other than the occasional swipe from a hurricane, you dont get much really bad weather. No huge snows(deepest one I lived thru, was 1972/73- we got 8 inches in Greensboro and were out of school for a week! Ice storms could be tricky though- i think there was one in 2009 that took out a HUGE tower near Raleigh. So most of the year you can work, in one manner or another.
To answer the question about Justin, Chris said Justin was the first RUclips friend Chris ever made. Justin runs his own excavation company and is working with Mr BealyGood (here on RUclips and one of Chris’s clients) on some new home sites for development. Chris has mentioned in the past they have both been so busy they just can’t find time to get together. He also talked about doing a bridge project with Justin and the 330. For the question about John, Chris said he got so busy he needed to go full time on his own. I think John is still running his company as well, and Chris may help if John has something really big going on, but they are now 2 separate companies.
@@matthewstencel8298wow…why is this any of your business? Do you also make inquiries into what sexual desires that your mom and dad (or grandparents) are into? It seems so out of place and odd that you brought it up here. Regardless, there are many other places to address your need to be engaged in sexual discussions…
Chris, I love your videos. A few years ago, an old tree fell across my daughter and her husband’s house, so they decided to demolish it and build a nicer and larger one. The brand new excavator arrived with an independent operator and he let me and my son-in-law operate it! I got perhaps 30 min at the controls and had a blast! Of course, I had to think through each movement, unlike you, who controls your equipment like you’re conducting an orchestra!
Very nice to hear Justin's name again. I thought you guys might have gone separate ways, It's been a few since he's been in your videos! I'm very happy you guys are still friends👈👍👌
@@AW-yv9sq Nope. You have that backwards. If the outlet were 2' below it slows significantly as the water level drops. In this setup the outlet is way down there. I've set tens of thousands of tubes in my life.
Happy New Year everyone. Wish you all safe and well :). Chris or others who will probably know as I know Chris has mentioned this in another video just cannot remember which one. Two questions please. I know the thumb that Chris has on his 220 has a specific name but I cannot remember what its called. and 2. How many hours on a used Volvo 220 would you consider to be too many to consider buying? or would you not buy a used EC2020EL but instead buy new? I know with new there is warranty etc.... but there is also a massive price difference.
Just checking,no Karen yet.your about do.for the weather you accomplished quite a bit.looks like a good project for you.great video as always.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.be safe this weekend.👍👍👍😎😎😎
"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but your Volvo is so delightful and since you've no place to go, let it Burn, let it Burn, let it burn" ... Happy New Years Chris !
This to be far and away your best year in every way, work done, equipment inventory, you nameit. Congratulations!!
A little bit of a short teaser episode but any Letsdig18 episode is a make my day episode.
Can't wait to see Chris really getting in on working this project.
I always like his pond rescue projects.
This piece of property is absolutely beautiful.
I can’t wait to see the progress on the pond repair.
Happy New Year Chris. Thanks for taking us with you throughout 2023. It's been fun to watch. Take care!
The work is truly a hobby and can be used to make money multiple times.
Happy new year and keep digging
Thanks for the video Christ .
Happy new year. Seems like a good project once the rain quits. Stay safe
I like the pond fixes. Things progress quicker than the pond builds.
Love watching brush piles get hot!

This guy is a genius, a real genius.
Love to see the siphon, if you want to go one more step in reducing erosion, put a sheet of plywood at the discharge end.
Nice siphon work for us mob to see. Burning on cold, wet muddy days bit of a drag but work has to be done. Goose neck trailer on the way - great for business and a job with Justin - fun times ahead - looking forward to it.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year Chris. Enjoy your videos.
Happy new year dig 18 keep up the great work and may you stay busy all year.
It was nice to see Charlie in your last video, whatever happened to Justin? He hasn't made a Cameo in a while?
Just wondering if you still help John
To answer the question about Justin, Chris said Justin was the first RUclips friend Chris ever made. Justin runs his own excavation company and is working with Mr BealyGood (here on RUclips and one of Chris’s clients) on some new home sites for development.

Is Chris gay ?
I’ve never heard him speak of a girlfriend or wife all these years
@@mikepittelli146 this comment says a lot about you.

Looking forward to the bealy good 90 acre project in 2024.
Seen the siphon in another video went and got pipe. It sure did work good made my job a lot easier thanks.
Nothing better than a siphon working right. No pump or gas to deal with it’s really neat
You seem to be the most responsible dirt guy when it comes to burning. In Arkansas its a free for all with giant timber piles.
AR is among the most corrupt states... Maybe move if you don't approve?
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Cris ik wens je een heel goed en fijn gelukkig nieuwjaar toe.gr.van uit Nederland.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks for the video. Happy New Year Chris be safe
The work is truly a hobby and can be used to make money multiple times.
Thank you and have great new year. :)
Back in his happy place operating the ole 220
Great job man
Happy New Year .
happy new year nice fire. cheers
Happy New Year buddy.

I'm very happy you guys are still friends👈👍👌
Maybe don't use emojis... you clearly don't know what they mean. But hey you're the type to be up in peoples business.
The real life pipe wrench with the nail holding the jaw 👍🏼🤣
Looks like you have a special automatic valve in the pond. I wonder what kind of
Sometimes you need 2 hands 🙌 ❤😊
Thanks for bothering to take us along when both hands would be easier. Happy New Year all!
Happy New Year Chris
If you set the inlet of the siphon 2 feet below the surface of the pond, it would shut off at the needed pond depth automatically.
The flow slows the closer it gets so that’s not the fastest way.

Happy New Year chris🎉 from sweden
On that siphon pipe the end in the pond you have a check valve right?
Chris, was that cut over replanted or voluntary regrowth?
There, there, there, there,there, there.
Bring a piece of hose to siphon from the bucket into the pvc. They use 2 or 3" rubber hoses to pull from irrigation ditches onto the fields down here.
When Chris is asked what do you do - he replies "I pick things up, I put things down!"
good pond video
Cuz what you doing a remodel on this pond have been laid up since Christmas with Covid
Make life easier and put shut off valves on the fill port and discharge end of your siphon.

Chris,
Since you’ve been running both 220’s what thumb do you prefer? The longer or shorter tooth thumb.
Just checking,no Karen yet.your about do.for the weather you accomplished quite a bit.looks like a good project for you.great video as always.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.be safe this weekend.👍👍👍😎😎😎
I love to see him film what he did and “spill a little” only for the shot, just to show what’s goin on
Why not throw stump in the pond for fish habitat,if its being a sob to burn. Happy New year to you all. May 2024 be lot better than 2023.😊🎉🎉
Chris haveing flashbacks in his editing. Lol
Have a good New Year...
What ever happened to the really big excavator you used on the large pond dig. Enjoy watching pond building.
The 550 Volvo?
That was a demo, on loan from Volvo, just for that job.
🤗❤️👍
Why always burn and not composting using mulching?
Which GoPro do you use? Thanks 😊
They are all shit.
Hey you got a canning jar lid opener too 😂😂😂😂😂
Ever played Giant Jenga with an excavator? Would be a trip to watch.
420, a cross and a pitchfork.
A ver6 happy new year 🎉 chris I like to say this year your busest time watching now for a two years ..
Are you going to get a semi truck and trailer to haul all the equipment.
Ha Chris. Thumps up from a Dutch fan. I like your campfires! Make some bucks off it and produce charkoal. Better bbq with "Chriskoal" Dig it?
