Barney looked like it did not have all six wheels locked to run. A little rain helps keep the dust down, heavy rain is a mud maker. Yes, the Owner needs soil that will grow good weeds so the roots will stabilize the slope of the pond edge.

Always thinking ten steps ahead , good sign of a man who knows exactly what he’s doing

Thanks for the time and effort you put into the entertainment ! Helps past the time at home injured!

I love how when the haul truck is spinning tire, you just push or pull the truck where you want it to go with the excavator!

@ around 28:00 that is just glorious music it brings tears of gladness to my eyes you have culture, thank you for this wonderful video.

So commend ur calm spirit when rain ruins plans for the day. U are a good example for others, and especially for others who work with you! Thank u so much for video! God's blessings and stay safe!!!

I'm a loader operator in Florida and I watch your videos to learn new skills and I really appreciate what you do

Mr. Bealy you will be a very happy man when this is done

Captain Jack here. Upon observation, it appeared that all the lockers were not engaged. I watcher Mike (DP) work on his lockers and got all 5 to work, to make all six wheels spin. Enjoy you videos and it reminds on my old dinosaur Cat 225, HD6G AC back in the 60’s. Anxiously waiting for each new pond build video.

At the end of each day....you can tell when a PROFESSIONAL is on the job by the WAY HE LEAVES THE JOB SITE! 😉👏 Nice work, Chris! 👍🏆

Grand looking LetsDig18 fleet. Mother nature and all her elements. The beauty also created by man and machine. We are so lucky.

Well at least you know the pond will hold water. 😃

Even though it was a muddy mess at the start of the day, you got a lot done. The pond is really taking shape now. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

Cool aerial footage, really puts the whole project in perspective.

Well Done Brothers.

The drone shots were well done and interesting to watch on this big job..thanks Chris..

It's just amazing how LARGE that bucket is when we watch you operating the excavator from OUTSIDE the cab.

Bealy Pond job is looking good sir !! Thank you for taking us along !!

Need to see Dirt Perfect's video on fixing the Volvo truck's lockers.

Gonna have to do like mike did and see what's up with the rear lockers on that haul truck doesn't look they were working at all . BTW those were some Bealy good Drone shots

Love the aerials. But could you scratch a line with some of your equipment to show us where the pond will extend to? Maybe put a root rake on the dozer and throw a line around so that we can tell from the drone.

Chris, the RAIN heard that you were making another POND, so it wanted two find out if it would HOLD any water and it does!!!😂😂😂

Chris has been constantly updating us on how this was all going to happen, but honestly, I couldn’t see it until the very end when he shut down the Bomag and showed where the other part of the dam was coming from and where the replacement fill was coming from and going to. Amazing to me to think that he knew all this before the trees were removed. Outstanding!

What would be cool is an Aerial shot with an overlay of the shape of the pond so us novices can see your vision. Great work Chris

PS. Really good of you to be supporting your buddy doing your music. 👍

Man those drone shots really give us a sense of elevation. Great job Mr B. & Chris.

Chris it is truly amazing to see you do the work into, developing a pond with just you knowledge in your mind. When the pond project started after the tree removal and stumping was completed. I was wondering what it was going to look like. Now after only two days over damn building we have the basic to vision what it is going to look like when completed. Chris it is a pleasure to watch your videos to see how you plan to complete the project with no paper plans to go by. Chris with Jeff doing the drone shot videos it has just gotten better. Thank you for my evening television entertainment.

Big equipment is like a hog on ice after it rains sometimes. Amazing how just an inch or two of surface mud can make things impassable...

Interesting to hear how Chris chooses the right machine for the job based on fuel and time efficiency.

I just want to say that I am soooooooo happy you don't put product reviews or sponsored ads in your videos like more and more of the rest of YT is doing. Thank you, and please keep your content and channel just the way it is, because that's what I, and likely most of your subs, subscribed for in the first place.

Looking good! More equipment! Got quite the fleet going!!

A good job that Chris's rescue and recovery was on hand again to rescue the dumper truck !

60,000 lb.+ gross on ice skates - 10 / 10 /10 / 10 / 10 Olympic performance! Video was so good I had a second piece of chocolate pie!

So neat to see this coming together. In the beginning I was confused, because the camera made the land look flat.

59 minutes and 6 plus K likes makes it clear how fascinating Chris's vids are. I've been waiting for the newest installment of the Bealy Good pond build and managed to miss the notification pop up I guess. Looks like Chris was on the rainy day struggle bus that day.

Dam that is the hugest amount of dirt I have seen someone move in a while.

Todd having all the fun, playing in the mud with dump truck lol. It might have been a pain in a back. But definitely fun to watch

This is a decent sized project! The drone shots are fantastic, they help give a real scale to the job (and look pretty awesome too). I could sit and watch you work your magic on the machine all day. I've had a play on a few, there is something about the power of them that is fascinating. Great stuff!

Wow Chris, looks incredible. Great work. From a forest to a five acre pond and then some. Fabulous work sir.

The music on the drone footage is just fine.

Goodness that is a lot of dirt moving 😳. Enjoyed watching the muddy recovery there at the beginning. Didn't really realize how much fuel you use, Goodness.

Love the aerials. This is a massive job. You have a good crew. Carries out each task with ease. Like a big machinery dance. Thanks for the video.

All I can say is WOW! That was a heck of a lot of dirt you moved today! Team work! You can't beat it!

Look on the bright side at least there’s no dust 😊

You guys can move the dirt. Great job. Stay safe

Nice wide dam, good dirt, packed in tremendously, great work Chris and helpers!!!

great work

That’s going to be a nice pond. Is it weird that I’m digging while watching letsdig? Well while I wait on the truck lol.

Great video Chris! Enjoy watching you guys work. "A man with a plan" keeping to your slogan there, it's so nice to have your explanation of what you're doing and your vision of what the plan is. Pretty big project that is coming together. Remember several years back you did a large pond dam like this. Thanks for sharing, makes my day.....

That dump truck looks small sitting on the end of the dam! And that’s only half??!! Looking good!

Chris you have built an awesome fleet up shows how hard you have worked to get where you are today awesome videos stay safe 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I started watching, and subscribed to, your channel back when you and Timmy built a large pond may 3, 4 5 years ago...? I can't remember but it was 5 or 7 acres or so, anyhow it's nice to watch another big pond job! Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos.

Looking absolutely awesome and excellent work Chris.

Lots of dirt to be moved. Clay to hold the dam, and topsoil to grow grass. It is beginning to come together. A 5 acre pond is a large and expensive project.

Great muddy video I enjoyed this project and your skills to do it thanks Chris and crew and Bealey great video

I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

It is a pleasure to watch this process of pond building coming together

Starting to shape up pretty good

That's not a pond - it's a reservoir! 🙂 Looking forward to seeing it full of water. Should attract lots of critters - deer, duck, LOTS of others.

I blink and you have almost 100k more subs. Amazing how far you've come so quickly. Bless you man. Thanks for bringing us along.

Great progress under these conditions!! Congrats on the purchase of the sheep foot packer!! Can see that coming in handy!! Charlie special??

Chris . Thank You for the video's. Starting to see how the pound will set, were the dam set's and how you are building this MEGA pond 5 acres is good sized pond. Please Take Care of your self and be careful around all equipment as it can put the hurt on you. 😁👍😎

Watching the drone footage, It's impressive how much more the fully loaded haul truck compacts the clay even after the sheep's foot compactor has been over the area. Would it not be advantageous if the fully loaded haul truck each time, reversed to the end of the lift then drove back to the area which it's required to dump its load. The extra compaction for no more than a further minutes driving would be very beneficial. Fascinating to see the actual logistics of creating a pond dam. As always Massive Respect from Aotearoa, New Zealand 😀👍💙💛

I believe if i recall i said it wasn't going to rain til you started digging that pond. Thank's for another great video Chris, see you on the next one✌

Great progress so far. I'm already looking forward to when you stock the pond with fish

You need to invest in a couple of walkie-talkies. 😎

I really enjoy watching how's this is truly done on one this big you have a great crew everyone work well together sorry about the rain you got though just remember that's Mother Nature getting back with you for all the trees and things you've torn up from her thanks again for sharing love your videos keep them coming

Great drone images and the music at 22:25 was cool. What a Bealy Huge Job!

thanks for taking the time to share your work 👍👍👌

Drone footage is really Kool man ,good job

*Chris gesturing at the puddle* there's your pond, here is my invoice.

Just love watching this transformation take place,I am aware of what you are capable of ,can’t wait to see the finish pond but I absolutely love seeing the pond take shape one dirt load at a time.thank you for sharing 👍🏾

Hi from uk Chris and crew👋👍 many hands make light work here and nice to see a few machines on move together all earning money to pay for barney getting stuck fuel lol I love watching your big jobs take shape how the method in the madness just works 👌but that Ash pile kept growing Chris its physics as the 20ft fire got littler Chris the Ash pile inevitably got larger lol just like the flames the higher the flame lower the brush pile got 🤪🤣 great times keep it moving 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋

Looks just like my homesite when I cleared it. Lots a white oaks, red oaks, loblolly pine, hickory and sweet gum trees. Same with the dirt, too. About a foot to two feet of topsoil, about eight to ten feet of that red clay, then a gravel layer. Thanks for taking us along. Hello from Northeast Texas!

These are some of your best. Great video 👍 👍

With all four pieces of equipment running all day you're going to need a bigger fuel tank in your truck to keep them all fueled up every day.

It's definitely coming to shape, love seeing the process.

Thanks for sharing the ups & downs of construction. Here's hoping the monsoons hold off until you are finished. Geoff, good ariel footage as usual.

Thank you so much for sharing your projects Chris! You and Geoff are so funny together and it's neat to see the two perspectives/videography. I knew the rain was comin'. Got right much in Raleigh this morning and more on the way. Nothin' like NC in the summer when you go from drought to floodin on the turn of a dime.

Looking better every day!!

Chris I don't have words enough to say how proud I am of you to take your younger brother under your wind and teach him the trade of construction and work for you. I bet he looks up to you and loves you and appreciate you letting work with you. Chris you are a great man he probably thinks of you as you did your grandpa. Thank you Chris for being a great person and inspiration to your younger brother. God bless you Chris and be careful and safe

Simply amazing progress for 2 days! Thanks for sharing Chris!

I never doubt your abilities and intuition.

Success! It holds water.

Love the equipment lineup.... looking good. Defo think you should have a chat with DP on the truck didn't look like 6 wheel lock was working. Pond is looking good and defo looks to be holding water. Have a good one!

Killer video Chris very good progress in the editing as well great coverage killer Drone footage I love it

That is a very neat and tidy workplace at the end of a day. I do like to see you making your fleet larger also. I hope the rain holds off for ya.

Making good progress Chris, given the weather conditions. Congrats on the new packer. That will definitely pay for itself I quickly

Great work and enjoying watching as always. We are pushing close to 9 inches of rain in 7 days. Hate these stalled fronts

I would love to know how you price a job like this is it a sliding scale or just hours when it’s all over. It blows my mind how much something like this must cost in my area you would probably be in the six figures

Thank you for the share Chris!!!! this is a great video project ❤️👏👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺🍺🇬🇧

Awesome job as usual Chris ! Looks like you,ve found a great guy in Robert. He obviously knows what and how you expect from him to do. A rarity in these days ! Cheers !

It is interesting to hear and see the development of the dam and and the pond. The drone shots really give a good perspective on the project. From the look of it, not getting in technicalities of the differences, it is more a small lake rather than a pond. That haul truck is amazing as far as the amount material it can move and somewhat disappointing when you consider how little it takes to stop it in its tracks, but still worth having around. That is going to be a great looking area when done. Enjoyed the video Chris, thanks for the ride along sir.

When you compare the size of the dam to the size of the haul truck you really see how deep it will be

That's a Bealy big dam.

Guah... you are just so amazing Chris 👏 🤩

It's always good practice to leave a few yards margin between each element of levelling and compacting.

Looks like the rear locker isn't working. Mike at Dirt Perfect has just rebuilt his, and you may want to make a fuse cover for the roller, just an old plastic container fixed over the top. You are a wizard on the excavator, liking the video's a lot, from a wet and miserable Western Australian winters day.

I know your glad to be making progress now Chris, after all the set backs when you started with all the machines...lolol... But, it's coming a long nice now , everything seems to be falling into place like ya want it, and moving right on !! Really Great as always, have a Great Evening , And , On to the Next !!

Great progress. Pond is really going to be nice.
