I admire your great discipline and determination in putting out these videos regularly. I appreciate it. Thanks

My eldest son gifted you to me. You bring such a calm smile .I am a woman that loves farming , the machines étal... since I lost my farm because I got hurt at work he’s watched and helped me ( as have the other 4) fight my way back. I binge watch your shows sometimes just listening in the background is enough at the end of the day to remind me what I’m fighting my way back to. By the way , we crossed paths at the gas station the other day during the thunder storm... many blessings, stay safe , healthy... keep on keeping on !!! Country folk can survive 💫🇺🇸

The only thing about working in those conditions is you sure know what way the water runs when it swampy wet. Looks like these home owners definitely know where the landscaping needs work. Great 👍 content 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸

I've been watching for years, first time I've commented. I find it relaxing and just plain interesting to watch you work in the dirt. Your a professional in everything you do, keep it up!

What a Cool looking piece of property with some 110 year old buildings on the property. 👍

This place reminds me a whole lot of the Bealy Good farm. Unless I’m mistaken this is his place back before you did all the work clearing, building the 2 ponds and building the driveways to the lots in the back. He did an excellent job restoring that old farm house and shed.

A work of art. Loved this job. Raw chaos pre and post professional development ready for another 100 years. Good one bud.

Now we can see how you keep busy. You fix one culvert, flood the next property, fix that one and so on.

Good hard base to work with underneath all the pinestraw.

I admire your attention to detail! It's also very satisfying to see all the progress being made! I wait for your videos daily!! Thank you! 😊

Gotta give you props. I watch you take a few swipes with your bucket and think dam that looks a lot better you’re done.. . Then you continue to take a few more and make it look even better than I could have pictured it in my head. You are a skilled craftsman my friend! Excellent quality.

excellent control with the machine.. not my type of work, but i found this video very entertaining.. much appreciated and be safe

Come on Chris break that new dozer out!!! Lol !!! Keep up the good work!!!!

That was mesmerizing, I now want that wonderful piece of equipment!

Not going to lie, all the rain y'all get makes me want to move there. Living in a windy desert makes rain and trees look wonderful

As if I hadn't done enough dirt shuffling in my life: Here I am watching somebody else move dirt. I must be insane! I like the looks of the way you progress.

You make it look so dang easy, graceful. Thousands of hours of experience, makes a job turn out fantastic.

Another great job Chris. Would love to see an update when they get this place done. Looks like a sweet project. Thanks for sharing.

was just amazed on how you held the pipe down with the blade then pushed it home

Playing in the mud, Chris never seems to get away from this.

Looks good man and boy it is wet there. Looks like the new tooth bucket is working out well! 👍🏻

Those old culvert pipes have definitely seen better days! Lots of debris in them eh? Thanks for sharing, nice work!

wow...that skid steer really is the ideal driveway grading machine..... nice job

Good the way you explain what your going to do before you do it - makes it so much easier to follow; love the videos, keep it up

It would be nice to see the place once their done. Love restoration of old buildings.

You can tell this guy knows what he's doing. Eyeballing all of this sort of stuff is not just a skill. It's an art form.

Wow!! Amazing what fresh loads of stone do to a driveway. Makes it look really finished. Big difference!

Ice just thawed today after a week. Glad to see the sun shining. Stays wet here in the soggy south.

Thanks for knocking this out for us. Nice to be able to work without getting stuck in the mud. Looking forward to the next part.

I don't think I anticipated how enjoyable it would be to watch someone else work now that I'm retired. Great video. Thank you.

Good Morning @ Lets Dig, I had some doubts as to how this project would turn out, ( because of all of the moisture, i.e. rain) If I was your customer, I would have been extremely and pleasantly surprised at how nice this job turned out. Your quality of work is absolutely awesome. Your skills on the excavator and skid steer are top level ! Then to top it off your narration and filming is excellent. I very much appreciate that you don't overlay your vids with music. I guess I'm old school but I'd rather hear the machine's sounds, even from inside the cab than music. Don't misunderstand me as I love to rock out when inside of the cab rather I don't like it in a video. I'm a 59 year young, retired farmer/ landscape co., owner. ( And yes, that's my last name too). I'm very impressed with your overall work ethic and knowledge. I subscribed. Keep up the great work that you do. Wishing you all of the very best. Warmest Regards from Arizona

The driveway is your canvas and the skid steer is your brush. I sit here for hours watching you create masterpieces. If you were in Pennsylvania, I know who my first choice of excavators would be 😊👍

Glad you can work even if the weather is not agreeable

Well done. Good for another 100 years !

How to turn a whole mess into a nice, dry place : Call the right guy, that's how ! Great job !

Once again,from "Turd to Trophy " Looks good young man!

The landscape around the property reminds me so much of growing up around the Pine Barrens in NJ. The nice aura it gives off, the isolated houses and all the trees. It makes me feel so nostalgic.

Beautiful job,you make everything look better. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

Chris, you never disappoint with the quality of your work. I sure wish there was someone like you in my area. Thumbs up !!

By far the best heavy machine operator I’ve ever seen! Love the channel Chris keep up the good work.

Rain's a hell of a lot there Chris! Great video, thanks again👍

Excellent job!!! You have to be the best at backing up and all you did today. I was mesmerized. I'm a 59-year-old Mom and loved it:-)

Great video, we love using our heavy equipment like this. It speed up the process a good 100x !

Another awesome job Chris, another satisfied customer! 👍🏻👍🏻

Another good one Chris , I very much appreciate all your time and effort to produce as many video's as you can, Thanks

Gotta say, there is something soothing about the sound of fresh footsteps on freshly graded stone, before the weather has a chance to wash away all the small stuff and leave only the larger rocks on the top.

A master of your craft sir! Your attention to detail and finish work is second to none. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

I was going to say it was nice to see you dig out dry compact dirt for a second and then mud came. Learn something new today thank you.

I think this was the first time I saw you working at the Bealy Good farm. It was one of the first videos I saw of yours. I've seen most of the stuff you've done since and really appreciate your work.

That property needs a lot TLC, those tree's looks like it needs trimming but i like that place.

Absolutely love your videos and commentary, feels like we are actually there with you. Thankyou for great videos.

You didn't seem surprised at the rain, I was shocked. Good to have rainy day projects. Thanks Chris Central California Watching

It’s amazing what some good grading and some fresh stone will make a place look a whole lot better

Man. Watching how delicately you seated those two pieces of pipe. Amazing craftsmanship!

A nice rainy day project...perfect~!

I laughed out load with amazed admiration when I realised you had gently 'trodden' on that pipe to allow you to push the other section in using the bucket.

Chris - I have never seen anyone who loves to play in the mud and water as you do!

Chris always like to see yur finished job. Always neat n everything is perfectly n place.. Great job.... 🤗💜

I've watched numerous of your'e videos and I want to tell you that what a good job each and everytime in my opinion

If you get a chance put a little gravel around the mail box for the mail man to pull up on.

Always nice to have a nice gravel drive & yard.

Looks great, a big improvement.

Nice job! It's amazing between the before & the after.

Nice job as per usual 👍🏼that swivel attachment has certainly paid for itself in time saved on the job Chris.

Our friend, Mr. Mud!

I know it's a "late comment" but just want to thank you for this particular video. I watch all your videos but this one made me think of my Grandfather for some reason and gave me solace. My "Paw-Paw" was in "Earth Moving" for all his Life ... even worked on the Panama Canal ... with "Steam Powered Draglines" no less. As a kid, I remember how excited he was to run a "Yumbo" (International Harvester's articulated excavator ... the very first BTW) and sitting on his lap as he play that machine like a piano ... much respect for him and you for that "Touch" you share). He lived a long life ... long enough to see the future of what machines were coming ... had one of the first Kubota 4x4 mini tractors ... within minutes he had it playing like a glove ... and extension of his hands ... truly amazing) back in the late '70's. I watch your vids and think "What would he think about today's machines? Articulated Excavator Buckets and "Thumb" claws???. The only thing I know is that it still takes all those "GIANT HAND TOOLS" to service them ... and he had a Garage full that I was not smart enough to keep. Again, thanks for the memories you evoke in your work ... the speed and accuracy with which you work is absolutely amazing !!! A pity our "Highway Departments" don't have the same speed and purpose eh? LOL

Nice work! Another great property!!

Nice job Chris looks great

I like that ole place be nice when you get done

Neat ass idea 18 using your blade to hold the pipe while pulling it together.Im racking up on tricks while watching your vids lol

Enjoy your channel. Nice work on the driveway upgrade.

loved the way you made the pipes tight together. smooth...! u the man, awesome operator. i watch all your videos.

There's mud again but on the plus side it did tidy up nice. Lovely to see an old house given some love rather than getting a bloke in with a digger to knock it down. Safe travels up your way

it would be cool too see what the home looks like in a few months ,, if they keep the old look or make it look like a brand new home ,, Chris you did a great job on this one looked like a swamp now they have a driveway and when the rain stops they will have a yard ,,

The hallmark of a great equipment operator. Make it look easy, fun and have things work out perfectly. In reality for the novice, it's not, not, and never does.

"Nasty Day." Thank goodness for enclosed cabs and heaters

Chris, you are the reigning master mud mover!

Just when we get some dry weather, more rain on the horizon 😔

15:50 Brilliant. Man knows his trade.

that is a nice job brother. i wouldn't have attempted that job in the rain. you made it look easy.

That root plug was an eco friendly state of the art system for silt filtering and controlling flow rate😄

Nice move! Holding it down with the blade and pushing it together with the bucket!👍 one man army!😎

You made nice work out of that little muddy job. Nice old pioneer house will be sharp after a modern remodel - bet it has beadboard with sawdust and moss in the walls for insulation.

I was thinking we would have seen that awesome small grader you have on this job but you certainly showed that a skilled operator can grade a road without one!

WOW! What an improvement for such a pretty place!! Great job!!

You do an excellent job, everyone that I’ve seen great job

Great video. You make these type jobs fun to watch. I also like your commentary explaining the jobs to us rookies.

That is a hard assed 100 some year old driveway except for the bit of top debris. We could only wish they were all like that.

I truly enjoy watching and operator work their machine with such finesse, that they need not even exit their machine to make minor changes to the work they can do everything within the cab...!!!

Don't you just love working in the rain love your video's I watch them all more than one time

That must be one very happy customer.

Hey 😎 i made it early today Yay More rain i see. Maybe we can send you some sunshine if we all focus real hard 🌞

Thats some fine work sir. Ty for sharing

That was a big improvement to the property to start nice job Chris 😎👍👍

20:37 - that first gen is mint!

Here in south jersey dealing with two days of rain, freezing rain, ice and little snow thankfully we still have power

Great old buildings. A glimpse of the past.

Liked the way you explained each step before you did it. I think about the way I would do it then see if I was right.. Thanks for sharing

Dude your like one with machines because your every movement has purpose and is executed perfectly

You guys do some great work. Love running equipment any chance I get. Grew up on the controls. Medication!
