I love the pond jobs videos. It would be cool if you could set up a separate static camera off to the side somehow, to record the whole process and be able to time lapse the whole job at the end of the series. Anyway, still love seeing the dirt dug and learning why.
@Fix_It_Again_Tony2 жыл бұрын
That's not a bad idea. I wonder if you can get a game camera to do a time lapse with a picture every hour.

Wow, that’s a very narrow, damaged dam holding back a massive amount of water. This will be fun to watch Chris fix this one.

The folks in the area are so lucky to have someone like Chris to call on when they need dirt work. Hope they appreciate him. I had a good friend and professional carpenter pass away from that God Damn cancer at 49! Still hurts! R.I.P. Dan, it was a blessing to know you.
@bobkohl67792 жыл бұрын
This one's going to be interesting! That dam looks like it was getting ready to fail in multiple spots
@bobengelhardt8562 жыл бұрын
An interesting thing about dams is that it doesn't matter how many acres of water there is - how strong a dam has to be is ONLY a matter of how deep the water is, at the dam. A half-acre pond that's 10 feet deep will need a dam that's twice as strong as a 10 acre pond that's 5 feet deep. That's because water pressure is what the dam has to hold back & water pressure is proportional to depth.
@zaccheus2 жыл бұрын
Mechanically yes, but I believe dam engineering standards change with water volume change because of the risk associated larger volumes of water. I'd love to hear someone else's input on this matter too.
@foivosapostolos12112 жыл бұрын
You also need to take care about conditions leading to hydrostatic soil liquefaction
@ronchappel48122 жыл бұрын
Yep,true. If a failure happens a thin dam will fail quicker and thus let more water go in a shorter time but until that point it's all good
@joshphillips54802 жыл бұрын
Thank you elder one
@generalfresh4421 Жыл бұрын
Water pressure is mainly on the bottom all the weight of the water is on the floor of that pond that's why dams are more sensible to fix. Easier to take pressure off.

It is a great deal of fun and a source of frustration to watch you take down those trees. You come up to a tree and in just a couple of minutes you have it down and out of the way, stump and all. Me.....I just spent 2 hours with my little 25hp tractor with backhoe trying to get an old oak stump out of my mothers flower garden. Right tool for the right job right? LOL I got it done but man, sometimes I sure wish I had that excavator. But then again, I likely wouldnt be able to get it into the yard LOL.

I think the problem you guys have is: I want to buy some acres of land with a large 36000m² (9 acres) of what we call "Ziegelteich" (like brick-pond because they digged out clay for bricks before and so the pond was born). This means all the water is beyond ground level in opposite to what you guys to when digging out and useing the soil for a dam then. This is why you always have to care for the water not penetrating the bed.
