Mini, 160, 220, 250, Chris is a smooth operator regardless of the machine.

Too bad a big pond had to go, but totally understandable after seeing that crappy overflow job someone else put in that you showed us when you first arrived at the job in the beginning. Surprised the dam wasn't breached already with the way it was washed out and undermining the dam. Anyway, turned out great. Still admire how tidy your job sites look when you are done Chris.

That was a pretty sizeable pond if the dam failed!!! The end product is just a giant scar for now, but it will all blend in well enough in a few years. If the state does develop it properly as a wetlands, there will be ducks, geese, other song and game birds all the time. Turtles, snakes, salamanders and the like. Coyote, fox, bobcats to hunt them. Even deer will use the area. Only time will tell now as to how nice it could become. There will be definitely more water than currently, just no deep areas. The work that had to be done is clean and well prepared for the next phase. Well done Chris & John!i

As always, nice job. You definitely are a master at your profession

That’s nothing short of “Immaculate “ 👌🏻

Really nice job, and it'll be a great wildlife habitat with time, although I'm not sure the neighbours will think that - it's gonna be a snake paradise. lol

EVERYONE can tell the CHARACTER of a man ....when a JOB IS DONE by a guy who ❤'s what he does for a LIVING. OUTSTANDING work Chris! 🤯👍

Good job Chris. Once it gets well established it'll be a great stopover wetland for migratory birds. With the ongoing loss of areas like this to development it's critical to come up with alternatives for wildlife. I just hope the state doesn't screw it up.

As a retired ironworker I've always admired men that become one with their machines. Another awesome job. Well done.

Watch the beavers come in and dam up the culvert from this on the other side of the state road ! Haaaa ! Beautiful work Chris. As always

That drone footage really shows how close to the state route that water was. Great disaster mitigation work!

That project came out like a picture in a Textbook ! 💪🏼

That is the mother of all riprap. I am an engineer and that looks like it would handle a foot of rain in an hour . Sure is pretty though really cool looking dam break sir …. Just shows a guy why you don’t want to piss the state off enough to make them rate your dam as a high hazard.. thank you for the show.

Chris is the Bob Ross of excavating and grading pretty picture when done.

Hard to believe all that engineered and put in place for about a one foot wide creek, sheesh, fantastic work by Chris but what a waste, I'm surprised they didn't want his entire creek bed lined with rock from one end of his property to the other too...

Hey Chris. I saw you leaving Warren County this afternoon got a picture of the dump truck with the mini excavator and skid steer. Keep the videos coming. You do great work

Project came out very nice. Totally forgot you had to mow that first. Remembered once you did the flyover.

Master of destruction, reconstruction, and construction.. nice work!

A huge fan of the skill of the operators and how such a huge brutal machine can be used with such finess

Awesome video and educational! I like that the audio doesn't contain those annoying music tracks, and I appreciate your narration. Thank you!

On the one had, it is a shame to lose that pond. On the other, we got a great video showing a master at work and soon a nice wildlife habitat.

A master at any craft is worth watching. I'm sure you would rather have a day project or 2 at most. I like watching a multi day event. I'm not doing anything, and can pause! Lol

Can't wait till the beavers move in, then we'll have Post10 checkin it out!

I really enjoy this project Chris, your workmanship is so good. I worked around equipment for 40 years and never seen anyone that could operate equipment any better, thanks for all the videos and be safe out there,

Great job Chris & John. I can see why they were worried about the dam breaching, it towers over that road, it would wipe it out without too much trouble. You do such neat work. Looks like every single rock has it’s place. It would be interesting to do a drone fly over after 6mths & then 1yr to see how it recovers. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰

What a monster that one was. It fought you a little along the way too. Of course the outcome was never really in doubt. :o) Be well Chris.

Looks good. You gave us a good beginning and finish with the drone thanks

Another great looking job Chris. It’s such a shame that the owner had to loose his pond. Maybe they can get some enjoyment out of the wildlife that will use it now.

I hope you can return to it in a couple years just to see how well nature revived it's self! ✌🏻🇺🇸

Man, what a mammoth project. I bet it feels good to leave your mark on the world. Awesome work you do, sir. 25:13 Homeowner has a useless dock now. the water will never reach it again. Cheers from Louisiana.

Hearing that haul truck rumble always gets my sticker peckin out as Ole Cotontop3 says.

Great finish to this project. Just thinking if a local school could work with the land owner it would make a great outdoor classroom to teach kids about their environment, they have them here in NZ in rural areas. Really liked the music you chose with the flyover. Safe travels

You and John do some great work on big jobs. Congratulations on this one, it looks great.

Very nice craftmanship ! You are the best !

You always do beautiful work, I watch every video and learn from them.

Very good Chris and uncle . Would love to see this when council has planted up and seeded

You done one hell of a job Chris. It really looks good. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous transformation Chris! Would like to see how the project looks a year from now.

I think it goes without saying that you have compiled an impressive portfolio of projects so far with many more to come.

Thank you for the video's on the transformation . The aerial views on the before and after really shows how amazing the transformation looks. Also how big the job was. 😀❤🇨🇦

I wonder how well the wetlands planting idea is going to go? Already looks like its drying out after just a few days!

The finished product looks great Chris

Great job as always Chris. I'm sure the neighbors are thrilled they now get to look at a 5 acre mud pit AKA wetland that will be a mosquito breeding ground!!!

Your work defines what is Profesional

Great job! Shame it had to done. But PLEASE in a few months, after rain & plantings,if your in that area, WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN UPDATE. Snakes & all. LOL

Pond owner has to trade his jet ski for a quad now that the water's gone. Excellent job (as always) by Guins construction & LD18. Nice to be established & have a solid reputation so the inspectors only need to show up when you're finished.🚧

what a lovely bed of rocks.. so neat.

Chris it would be great if you could pay this place a quick visit in future so we can see and hear all the new life from the wetlands. For a dam wall the size of this it must have taken some serious rain for it to have partially failed in the past. Always precise with your work.

i dont know why but watching you do your work is so relaxing, i like watching those big machines move dirt. thanks

Chris as always you did a excellent job. You are a Rembrandt of the excavators and ponds love your work...

It's too bad you had to take that pond out, it was a pretty old school pond, but the final out come is up to your usual standards another great job Chris

As with all your jobs IMPRESSIVE. Well done.

Great job! It's beautiful! 😊❤

lol "one more load and I'll tidy everything up", he says when it looks like every stone was hand placed! Your work ethic, dedication to the customer, your skill, and attention to detail sir is second to none! I love watching your videos and look forward to the next one; however, I do hope it is a pond build as it saddens me to see someone lose their pond due to shoddy work prior to your arrival. Thanks again, Glen AKA Jeff Smith, why cause I switched to a smart phone years ago and created Jeff, and now I am stuck with it lol.

Such beautiful work Great job as always

Another job well done Chris. Thanks for taking us along for another successful job.

Very nice looks really good thumbs up👍👍😎

The drone footage shows it all , thanks for showing us the great work you did with Johns assistance .

Looks great you should get a quick snap of it when it is full again..👍

Any time you get the state and engineers involved you just know it's going to be ridiculous. Just think, a brand new 5 acre mosquito breading area. Great job Chris, as always.

Wow , that's an amazing transformation that's one of those site's that is worthy of a revisit in the future.

Someone needs to bake Chris an ENORMOUS cake so he can ice it with the dozer. It would be perfect. If we let him us the grader, mini and skid steer, I bet he bet he could do all those fancy embellishments around the outside. We'd have to give him some decent clay to work with to stop it crumbling.

You and uncle John make a great team 👍

Great job as always Chris. That is very neat rock placement.

Thanks for the ride along young man. Much appreciated.

What a difference! Looks a lot better, sadly for the owners, then the start. Thank you sharing the work that you do.

Really nice job Chris. Before and after is tremendous. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍

Now seeing the aerial footage of the pond before the drain - disaster has been diverted. Great job on this. Was a beautiful pond, shame the past work was not done right. Chris you did a good job of doing a giant work. Love to see the results after see what time will do. Again, LD18 magic applied.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever!

Looks good! Goverment sure knows how to over think stuff. As always fantastic job!

Everything Chris does is left so neat. His ocd is built into the price I would imagine. Superb content mate

Chris, as always a SUPERB job👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗

Always a fine finish and attention to detail no matter the scope of the job. 💯

i used to haul blue clay near the lake Erie shore line. about every third round i would have to back up to the excavator to get dug out. the stuff was very wet and sticky and had very interesting colors to it.

Always perfect work. Great job Chris.

Chris beautiful job! Before and after drone video was amazing! Thanks for sharing. Kevin

Looking real good Chris.

looks amazing ... so they traded a 5 acre pond for a 5 acre mosquito breeding grounds, Im sure those homes near there will love that

A fair amount of work for 5 days, nice one.

So smooth and well executed, Chris!

Gotta love how fast the bed goes up on the offroad dump truck! Or the boom swing of the Volvo. You've got some efficient equipment on your hands. Love it! More 250 work please! :D

This is definitely worth a revisit and video in a year or 2, if possible! It'd be interesting to see the area 'restored' to a growing wetland. We've seen you dig countless holes, knock down countless trees, clear countless acres. Now,(if properly planted and cared for), we'd get to see the reverse! Nice, Job!

Great work, Chris!

Dam, that was a big pond! Love that stone work and tracking in, very sharp looking!

Chris what you and John accomplished in 5 days of work with all you had too do is pretty impressive. you and John stay safe. on too the next one.

Great job Chris and crew,

Excellent job, it looks great.

Wow Chris it took me a while to remember this job bye bye pond hello mud hole but it's better now since you did it and not some clown and good flying too

Wow ! How can you be so precise with a big excavator and big rocks! All straight lines. 😎

Heck of a good job, Chris! I enjoyed it!

AMAZING job Chris,, looks very good

Great job Chris looks great 👍👍

For sure this needs to be added to the before and after series in the making.

At least somebody was able to drain the swamp 👍👍

beautiful workmanship, Chris.

Wow that drone footage really lets you see just how much water was in that pond😮.

That’s 100% better job than any state ran business would have done, fact.

Another Masterpiece...Great job...

would love to see what it looks like today, great job!

That is pure artwork!
