You have every right to be proud of your work . you couldn't even see 20 feet in front of you when you walked this project the first time but was able to envision a completed project . Awesome project . Stand tall Chris ,you deserve it .

Come a long way from those early days of walking through the bush. Will never forget the stumps! Good on Volvo - they are a lucky business and manufacturer to have LetsDig18 using their equipment. Goliath build nearly complete.

I’m glad Volvo got to see this large project. It really shows off your talents and how well you take care of your equipment!

This mother of a job is dirt sculpture and very artistic. Amazing to see the new landscape appear out of nothing. Brilliant Chris, well done Sir

It’s great to see Volvo getting videos of you with their equipment. They should be giving you something in return for all the free advertising for them!

Hi Chris I sure hope we can see this project when the pond is full what a beautiful job and a big job

Chris, I know you always do your best for your clients, but on this project, I think you really dug deep (sorry for the pun) and put all your heart and soul into it. Fabulous job, Sir!

Anyone wishing to see the pond progress after Chris is done and leaves should follow Bealy Good here on KZfaq. It's their pond. He does regular updates, including some stuff Chris doesn't show on this channel. Like behind the scenes stuff. Mr. Bealy Good plans on taking us through the pond's journey until it is completed and beyond.

The diesel fuel alone for this project has got to unreal, let alone the machine/operator hours. Great work by all involved.

I enjoy everything you do but I’m glad to see you back on the Bealy Good pond build today. You don’t like much being down to the final touches on this job. This is one pond that I definitely want to see after it’s filled up and he’s done with whatever he plans to do on the island.

It is absolutely enjoyable and relaxing watching you do this. You never leave me waiting and wanting the next video

Chris, the pond is looking awesome😺 Can't wait to see it full. Thanks for sharing this project with us👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺

I am amazed at the manner in which you can visualize a project such as this from the beginning. You speak of the plans, and I sit here in confusion. Then it becomes a pond. Astounding.

Great job! Thanks for explaining and tying everything together for us. I've finally learned to watch the shadows and time of day to see which way is north. Without landmarks it's easy to get disoriented. But now with the dam up and that tree sticking up, I know where you're talking about.

You realize when you finish up all the smaller projects,mrs.beally will want you to build a waterfall with flowing rapids.LOL.your getting good at building ponds,what is this #43.keep on doing your thing 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Sure are getting popular!! Volvo taking notice again. Time to revisit your first video with them. Glad see it! Always enjoy the dozer section of the videos!

Id like to see you come back to this pond after it fills up, and show us what it looks like.

I love the sound that the Rip Rap makes as its being put into place while it knocks against itself!! So satisfying to hear.

Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧. You have a varied job, from large pond to small pond and back.

Still amazes me how you can use that giant excavator like its a mini. Gentle touch.

I know you are ready to see this come to the end. But this feels like home and you have turned nothing into a great park. I hope you will up date us with more progress in the future.

As big as this pond build is, in my mind I was thinking another let’s dig and dirtperfect callab. Awesome job as always! Watching you and dirtperfect I’ve learned much more.

You've one heck of a team there matey - no sitting around waiting to be told what to do & the ever so elusive Tim(Hi from the UK Tim!) just getting on with stuff behind the scenes.

Almost done and I can't wait to see the end results. Thanks Chris for another good video.

Maybe Mr. BEALY would consider having a party at the pond in the future! Seriously though, this project has been an absolute pleasure to watch every step of the way. Excited to see how truly incredible this pond becomes. Thank You for all your videos, they've really helped me keep my sanity during these trying times.

After a hard loading a box truck to move tomorrow and get some painting done on the apartment it was really nice to find a Chris vid had been posted to watch while I eat my dinner. This has definitely been one of the all time best pond build series Chris has done. Especially all he had to do to get to this nearly complete stage.

Happy Labor Day weekend to everybody in the US!

Looking good. I can't wait to see it finished. Hoping we'll be able to see it full of water with grass too.

Bealegan Island all done .need couple palm trees and nice shelter and a floating dock.

The drone shot of this finished pond is going to be awesome

Looks better and better

Really looking good. Man i'd be digging creek channels, scooping all the banks, rip rap the entire dam. making more points and coves with pea gravel spawning areas. adding more structure....shoot I could spend ALL of Bealy's money!!!

I think this pond is a sign that hurricane season will be boring. It's like buying a snow blower, you never need it the first year.

Chris how do you feel when you get a huge pond project that has so many trees and so many stumps and burn piles then moving so much dirt to finally get to see the finished project before the water and after the pond is full?

Amazing work, Chris!

Grading is so satisfying! The pond is on its final stages and looking great!

Shaping up nicely 😎👍. Neat stuff.

More beautiful work shaping things up on the pond.

An amazing long and very satisfying experience for us viewers. Now where’s that rain?

shaping up getting near to the finish. cheers.

great job, lookin' good, keep safe

Can't say enough about the work you and the crew do great video thanks Chris and crew

So pray u feel tremendous accomplishment from ur vision of total trees and stumps to beautiful 5 acres of glistening water!!! Have loved this series, take care of urself and God's blessings.

I'm excited for the pond dam and the island

it sure is looking great cant wait till its filled with water

The most safety vest on one of your jobs. :) I still do not get where dozer operators get the courage to operate on a 45 degree slope. I would be hang on for dear life. :) Thank you and have a great day.

Trying to work when there are so many looky-loos has to be frustrating. At least they were all people used to heavy equipment. Man, the amount of free advertising you do for Volvo should get you a new 220.🤣Thanks for the update, Chris.

It’s a lot to think about with building a pond and making videos at the same time.

Chris great job on getting the pond almost done. It show the kind of man you are taking on a huge task complete the task. Great job 👏 👍 great videos

Hi Chris. You keep calling it a day before it gets dark. Your getting old. Lol That lack of rain has sure enabled you and the rest of the crew to really haul butt on getting that pond installed. Nice job of taking advantage of it. Ed from Chicago 🙂

A thumb is the way to go doing riprap.

Absolutely awesome job Chris.

Awesome 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Can't wait to see this project full of water!

I've got to say I love the Volvo truck almost as much as the excavator and the other big toys. I hope we'll get to see the pond when it's full.

Great job Chris I've watched this project from the start it's been quite an undertaking keep up the good work boys!

"I'm popular today" Master of the understatement Chris.. Blessings from Shropshire mate.

Still loving this project. Can't wait till i see it filling up.

You do super with your work it's going to look great thanks for the video

Awesome Work Chris and to think Mr Bealy gets to Add more To the Pond as you try to finish up :) What a Guy and His film and Drone work is on Point when not stuck in a pipe :) Keep up the Good Work Both of you. lol

And people think it's easy to dig a pond lol. You do fantastic work!

Looks good out field Chris

Hi Chris ... more 6 way blade action pleeese ... your skill makes it look easy but I know its not ... really enjoy watching you do the final trim. 👍👍👍🙃🙃 from west coast of down under 🙂🙂🙂

Real progress on the dam and island.

Looks like the finish line is in site!👍 You should get Volvo to replace the undercarriage on the 220.🤔 Chris you always go above and beyond. Looking forward to seeing what is next, but also can’t wait to see the finished product with the pond full and all grassed in.

Looking good Chris

Nice work!

I'm keen to see what that pond looks like when it starts filling up.

You are popular Chris, very popular 😊 I can hardly believe it’s almost done. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

Well putting the final touches on a long well worth project.

So close…the end is near! Thanks for Chris!

Awesome video you guys got some great material to work with compared to what I'm used to up north

Great job Chris.

Awesome job!!

I was beginning to wonder about the other riser. I remember seeing 2 pieces.

Congratulations Chris, looks like you made celebrity status. Peace and blessings.😉

I would like to have the same pond...

Rocking the Island - sounds like the next Blockbuster Music Clip - ha ! Hey - 11 People came to see You work ! Another very Successful Day - its Looking already very Good and only a few Tough Ups still to do - we love Your Channel and Videos ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

Truly a master of the bucket -- Cheers!

Me Too! "Looking forward to getting all the dirt out of the pond section."

Great video 👍 👍

for the last bit of grading.. you just need to run that nice ruckus rake over it to really make it look nice. Really looking forward to seeing this when it's full of water and surrounded by grass.. and maybe even with Jeff exiled to his island...

Chris that cap looks great on you .I notice little things .

So happy Volvo came in and foot the bill 😊😊😊

Very very good job Chris on this pond .

Hey Chris, this is looking really nice. Can't wait to see it completed and filled up! I think a great video idea would be to re-visit some of the many ponds you've done over the years so your followers can see them after a year or two. (I know your time is valuable and many of them just aint all that close.) It would make a cool pond compilation video. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

Popular, well done Chris.

Almost see the light at the end of the tunnel bro, taking shape nicely. Paparazzi everywhere, lol. Safe travels

I hate to see what's your fuel bill , for all this Work on this pond has been , You do excellent work Chris , You have an outstanding Work ethic, Thank you for your videos.

Looking good Chris👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love this pond build!!! I know you still have a bit to go but what’s the next big job?

Good evening Chris, looking great. Steve from N.B Canada

good pond video

Looking really nice I’m thinking it will take a long time to fill from run off

“Rock Island”

I don't see a shipwreck on the island yet! No Ginger, Mary Ann, Gilligan, etc...

The bucket on the 220, to me any from a camera,is showing a significant amount of wear on it, as one would expect I guess, but I don’t detect or hear any real bucket or connection point rattles that come with wear. I take that as a testimony to your diligent maintenance of equipment sir. Pond is really slicking up nicely. Thanks for the ride along sir.

I hear the sound of 'efficiency' when getting close to the end of the job and you have calculated manhours of work. 11 people on site - time to charge admission to the jobsite. I take it TR likes driving Barney haul truck for you.

Chris, I just watched Geoff’s recent video with the fish habitat planning & Volvo folks and noticed you having to walk long distances. Have you thought about putting a hitch on the 220 so you can tow a light weight UTV/ATV? Yeah, it might be a hassle to hitch & unhitch but it would save you time & walking bother in the long run…probably a dumb idea, but I thought I’d mention it.

My god , you went over kill on the island 🏝 that’s gonna last for a long time!! Who ever builds an island should pay close attention to YOUR detail, amazing!!
