I tapped an 8” pit cast pipe that was the supply line to the pump house to the irrigation system of a golf course in the western piedmont, NC this week . They wanted to be able draw down the water to the lake before a Hurricane in order to keep the overspill from washing out and eroding the dam of a 15 acre lake . I thought it was a really good investment being that we are in the hurricane alley on the east coast of the US . We had a dam in eastern Wake co that washed out during a hurricane maybe 5 years ago ?

It's a head scratcher if the pond master is baffled. Chris. I am sure it could be an editing nightmare, but please consider the possibility of a time lapse of the 10 acre pond fix. Maybe for later in the year as we know that this is your busy season coming up. This transformation is going to be huge!!! Not going to lie. I was disoriented for a few minutes because the landscape has changed so drastically... Thanks Chris for letting us ride along.

Chris, I'm watching your workflow and thinking it is not that simple when it comes to choosing the right machine to use. I was originally wondering why you were not using the dozer instead of the skidsteer to make those lifts, but the skidsteer is faster, and with a big scoop of damp dirt, the skidsteer is close enough to the dozer's weight to make a good job of tracking in those lifts. I hope Justin comes along with his roller. I love seeing him on your channel.
