Awesome ! I have a suggestion for a video : I know most are prob too far away from where you’re working on any given day but I think a “ follow up on ponds “ video would b awesome ! Even if it took a few months ( as u might be driving by a pond you’ve done ) to collect enough video of a bunch of ponds you’ve built / fixed/ expanded etc now that they’re full. Thanks for the videos Chris !!

oz1vlh agreed. But Chris seems pretty likeable and I’m sure the previous customers would love to show off what Chris has done for them. I put a pond in myself from inspiration from watching his videos and I have people stop and ask about it. And they’re strangers. Lol.

Yea I would think it would be ok for him to stop in and check out his own work. Like others said Chris is very nice person and I'm sure anyone would be more than happy to have him over for a few minutes to see the turn out after a few months or so. Also I'm sure chris knows witch jobs he could more easily access to do such follow up videos on. That be cool to see!

Was a joke and did nothing but made the ground so ruff it's hard to drive over and pond never held water. Damn was nothing but top soil.

Hi Chris Any chance you can add in a 'special' video say monthly that gives us a before and after of some jobs, especially like todays. A quick repeat look at the start, halfway, and end of this job then a look at it in a months time all grass grown and full of water. Put 3 of these together in monthly specials and it would nicely summarize each job!. And extra vids for us ya!.

Being that I know nothing about using a dozer, can you tell me why you'll push one way and then backtrack on the same line you just pushed. I figure your blade can shift whatever way you want it to so why don't you turn the dozer around and push a new track of dirt?
