Exactly. Beyond the talent to understand how to expand a pond. His skills using the excavator was some real talent. The excavator was basically an extension of him. Enjoyed hearing his rational and explanations as he was maneuvering the machine to build out the pond.
I have about half of the digging done on my pond. Recent rains filled the pond early. My dam holds fine. I built the dam mostly based on what I learned watching these videos... And with the idea that I wanted it to be easy to mow and keep trees from growing on the dam.
An acre pond full of fish & my own range would pretty much be nirvana for me. Add some deer in the woods, pheasants in the rough, ducks on the pond & a few rabbits & pigeons for off season & I'd never leave the place.
Absolutely. I got just about 190 acres but we're on top of a ridge in the Appalachians in PA, and as such, the water table is about 100' below grade. The middle of the property is the high ground, and it slopes down in every direction. So no pond. But I get to see bears, deer, turkeys, and the like but I haven't seen a ringneck in over a decade, unfortunately. Too many coyotes. Even the red fox population has dwindled. Sucks.
Chris. Thank You very much for the videos. I enjoy watching you work any of your job sights. Chris you and your equipment work so smoothly, plus the way you see the project needs set before you. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment.
I very been on equipment most of my life but I all ways look forward to learn something new from a operater with your quality . Your really good .I enjoy watching ur videos good job Tim Anderson
Hello Chris, the building plan and the make is your specialty. Have this Pont a water course or it's groundwater? And is the ground to the Pont loam the water stopped. The pierce to the old to the new part is perfect. Only your Volvo will have a bath. A beautiful weekend and love greetings from Vienna.
Pond looks awesome and way bigger now. All that graded in , seeded in will make the pond look nice again.another Happy owner there chris😀.nice job man.
That’s a great process you have to do that Chris! Great digging soil without rocks, wish we had less rocks here in the mountains, but that also creates a whole another set of challenges at times.
This homeowner is awesome. Big shooting range, extra deep fishin' holes, 250 dumping dirt in the little Kubota...why not, eh? This guy seems like a lot of fun.
Awesome job. The coffer dams worked well. Will you do a part 3, re smoothing the new banks & creating the shooting range? Cheers & take care from Australia 🤓👍🏼🐨🦘
You operate that machine like it’s nothing Chris, awesome job brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You are definitely “The Man”! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I would be scared of getting the machine bogged in there and you just dive off in it with ease! That’s why I watch you Chris, you’re an awesome operator! The best I’ve seen really ever! So educational too my friend! I hope Winston is doing well and I finally got the money and ordered two shirts and just waiting for closer to winter to see if you get some big size hoodies! Thanks for sharing my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
I can understand wanting a bigger pond/lake, but I would I would rather have a little smaller pond and have it really deep, so it can hold Trout. Just an opinion. Great video Chris.
That's I tought on many of his ponds. Fish go up and down on ridges to feed and reproduce in the colder, shaded bottoms. On a flat, shallow bottom, thus warm water, only catfish 🤮 and sun fish will survive. Any fisherman know that !
@@augustreil most every catfish "farmer" also raises crawfish (crawdads, mudbugs) as a dual crop. When one is dormant the other is active. We have relatives in Baton Rouge. They cook in a turkey fryer, crawfish,red potatoes, corn on the cob, whole onions and in each batch a full 5 lbs of ground red cayenne. So good but better be close to a creek in the morning lol
@@donniebrown2896, You nailed it ! That's pretty much how and what the crawfish boil I went too had ! And yes, a nice cool creek the next day would be a huge bonus ! Lol, too funny.
Did you originally dig this pond? It looks great and I like the size! Another awesome video Pond Doctor! Thanks for sharing Chris! Stay safe my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I enjoy all your videos. What was really great is to see aerial views from the drone. Really cool. Can we get some time laps as well to see the progress. Thank you ...
You are becoming quite an artist, with those pools Chris. What, water Lilies would survive in that regional climate, they are ideal, for fish to breed under?
Another fine job done but LETS DIG 18, it turned out awesome Chris. So I just wanted to say thank you Man for taking us along every day on your journey to work so anyway brother you and John and your family stay safe brother and keep the videos coming
Amazing. A HEOp who considers future appearance and functionality under different circumstances and conditions, with customers requests in mind. Amazing. (A fun watch, thanks for posting!)
After the touch up, it looks great. I just can't get over though with what it cost how much extra would it have been to do drain it and do the middle or raise that dam a little. He has lots of money in it.
I love the flooding when you take out the dams. Could you take more footage of flooding in the future? Longer shots or maybe using the drone? Regardless, another great vid - keep em coming!
You need to put a sample of the excavator's horn on your phone, and the next time you're out with your uncle driving play it and see if he reflexively hits the brakes.
Hey Chris, can you answer a question for me and many viewers? Why is it I am not really interested in heavy machinery or dirt work but I am addicted to your videos? I like, comment and have notifications turned on for my young son and I to watch every video. Every excavator we see around here we say, "There is Chris"....
Yes Sir !! Turned out really Nice Chris !! Gave to Old Man's catfish a little more room there .....lololol..... Always like those in an out jobs, making a little quick change an move on real quick !! Without giving up any quality !! Great as always Man, Have a Great Weekend !! Seems like this week went quick ?? lolol...guess it was the Holiday.....On too the Next....
I was thinking gee it's not deep enough the fish will freeze out and then I remembered you're not in Michigan 😂🤣 we shoot for minimum of 12 ft deep and usually punch an area down to 17 ft below finish pond height...but where you're at you can probably get by with six to eight feet guessing... But it's going to really really look different with an aerial shot of before and after....an them fish?? They make exclent dirt levelers ;-)
hey mr. chris! i love the sound of those excavator tracks rhythmically churning! reminds me of a car on the interstate wheels going clack clack clack. great episode for sure! stay safe!
I don't know what a fishing pond consists of in Florida but you make them to neat and clean for a fish pond up in Ohio. We like some varying depth and have some fish attractants like rock piles, old stumps and the occasional tree fell into the rim of the pond. That looks more like a stock pond than a fishing hole but what do I know. Don't take this as a comment on your skill just a mention of how you all do ponds down there.
A company we work with did a huge dam job. They only have scrapers so when they need big excavators and off road trucks they hire us. After the scrapers I would go in with the 390 and dig habitat for the fish all over the place the gps on the hoe really paid for its self on that job. One of the haul truck drivers set pins on his phone where they were at and he goes out there and catches fish all day nonstop. The people that fish their all the time think he’s this great fisherman and I dug so many of them no one catches on because he just goes all over the lake because he knows exactly where each one is at.

Great job as always Chris. It's not about what the owner wants, it's all about what makes the fish happy 😊
A lot of care and concern on every job he does. A real pleasure to watch and learn.

Chris that’s one big pond! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Can’t wait to see the pond finished
I've noticed most of the ponds seem to be shallow. My pond is 3/4 acres and 35 feet deep.
I love your comments about soil condition.
An acre pond full of fish & my own range would pretty much be nirvana for me.
Add some deer in the woods, pheasants in the rough, ducks on the pond & a few rabbits & pigeons for off season & I'd never leave the place.

Excellent little fishing pond
Pond looking very good to have a big pond for fishing here pretty soon.
Thought those ponds are much deeper. 🤔 So, what's planned for the weekend? Any auction, barbecue, festival...?
Beautiful Pond work. You always make things so nice.
11pm and just in from work. Wine open and and a new let’s dig video. 👌
Nice looking pond excellent work
“Whatever you can do to Avoid the Mud is Worth your Time”. You Always have a Solid Plan. 👍

I very been on equipment most of my life but I all ways look forward to learn something new from a operater with your quality . Your really good .I enjoy watching ur videos good job Tim Anderson

Great looking project,never disappoint.just keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Another great job Chris it's great to watch a artist at work.
The CG Excavating Team makes another fine pond for North Carolina.
Nice addition to the pond sir.
That looks like easy digging there, No rocks.
Yeah i’d pay to dig with that ground instrad of getting paid!
Its second best only to digging in sand!
nice land and pond. congrats on 500 k. thank for the vids. cheers.
Nice job Chris pond looks awesome.
I see you got a hair cut there Mr Chris.
Summer is in full swing.
he cut his hair with the skid steer

Looking great Chris👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺

And crawfish when the catfish are not active
@@donniebrown2896, I went to a crawfish boil/party(?) Wow, it was good. Took a lot of time to eat but still awesome !

That looks more like a custom Pond with Different levels. Now everybody will want one.
I'm in awe of his skills. Another amazing job! way to go Chris!!!!!

Great job!!!! Keep on digging!
You sir are an inspiration. Thanks for another job well done! 👍👍🇺🇸
I enjoy all your videos. What was really great is to see aerial views from the drone. Really cool. Can we get some time laps as well to see the progress. Thank you ...
Great video bro and no rocks were hurt in this project. Safe travels

Having fun playing in the sand box
Looks awesome Chris an congratulations on 500k, Rollin. Thanks for sharing awesome content all the time 💪🇺🇲
Amazing. A HEOp who considers future appearance and functionality under different circumstances and conditions, with customers requests in mind. Amazing. (A fun watch, thanks for posting!)
Shooting range and a fishing pond.....my idea of heaven.
Nice job! Looks great
SALUDOS CHRIS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. G.B.Y.A. THE POND CAME OUT BEATIFUL.
After the touch up, it looks great. I just can't get over though with what it cost how much extra would it have been to do drain it and do the middle or raise that dam a little. He has lots of money in it.
Nice work.
Nice work as always Chris. On to the next!! Nice socks.
Amazing, was just thinking if you left some of that little dam for habitat. You I’ll leave some. LOL
Should have used that last ridge to make an island for the birds.
"pretty much the muddy spot is everything I dug"...excellent finishing line
I love the flooding when you take out the dams. Could you take more footage of flooding in the future? Longer shots or maybe using the drone?
Regardless, another great vid - keep em coming!
That worked out great another job done good.
Glad you had a firm base.....in mine I would sink out of site if I drove in.....
Bigger pond AND a backstop; don't get any better than that.
Looks great Chris 🇺🇲
You "say" you don't like mud ... you know you love it! 👌
Great Job
Love this video man and love the little pond .
What are your ponds used for? In Pennsylvania we use them for fire water on the farms.
Paddling pools.
Fish
Nice Haircut Chris 👍😎
P.S the Back Tire, on the Hall Truck is Low on the Drivers Side
Chris could you please post a pic of the neighbors pond after the grass comes up??
THE FISH WHISPERER !!! THEY ASK , CHRIS GIVES THEM FISH SANCTUARY LOL
not really, the ponds he makes are too shallow to be good fish ponds
You need to put a sample of the excavator's horn on your phone, and the next time you're out with your uncle driving play it and see if he reflexively hits the brakes.
Nice job!!
Another great video
Can’t truck driver John not feel when you’re loading the first scoop or is the horn toot totally necessary?
The horn toot is so he stops moving the truck. He didn’t beep in the video and the truck kept moving so then he beeped.
I was thinking the same thing. Many places we load don't use horns or they don't work, that first hit is just something you learn to feel.
Hey Chris, can you answer a question for me and many viewers? Why is it I am not really interested in heavy machinery or dirt work but I am addicted to your videos? I like, comment and have notifications turned on for my young son and I to watch every video. Every excavator we see around here we say, "There is Chris"....
Any update on the animal hospital? Did they go bankrupt?
Yes Sir !! Turned out really Nice Chris !! Gave to Old Man's catfish a little more room there .....lololol..... Always like those in an out jobs, making a little quick change an move on real quick !! Without giving up any quality !! Great as always Man, Have a Great Weekend !! Seems like this week went quick ?? lolol...guess it was the Holiday.....On too the Next....

Great Video and thanks for sharing! Stay Safe!
Looks really nice
Hey chris how early do you leave work so you can have a video up a 6 pm everyday
I do the videos at night on the day before they post
Get the pond dug bigger and a future pew range, that man is going to have a nice summer. Wonder what the honey do list looks like lol
hey mr. chris! i love the sound of those excavator tracks rhythmically churning! reminds me of a car on the interstate wheels going clack clack clack. great episode for sure! stay safe!
Cuttin pretty close to the coffer dams... 😁
...looks great, keep safe..
good pond video
What’s the importance of knowing the cubic yards? Is that how the price was calculated or is that how you determine the size of the pond?
If you get an answer let us know
a job like this would be quoted price per yard
Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the head -- Mike Tyson.
Until they get punched in the mouth... True statement though ..
Tangents
well done

great video like always could watch you dig and burn all night long Chris many thanks mate
👍👍
On something like this would it go a bit quicker if you had another truck there?
Hope this isn't a silly question but why did the owner want his pond doubled in size?
Great job as usual Chris
I was wondering if a new overflow was going in.
First time I saw steel toed socks. :)
