I really hope you never tire of posting on KZfaq. Pretty amazing that you've been sharing for 13 years and still give fresh content even if it's bitching about mud and smoke in the same breath.

When the wind is coming from behind as the air flow around the machine a low pressure area is formed in front of the machine between it and the fire. The smoke is sucked into the low pressure area.

4- 10 hr days / 1 man and machine? WoW! A beautiful transition and no comparison between the before and after Chris. 👍👍That's a fair bit of work in a short off /on time span, mostly in bad wet weather. You call it having a touch of OCD, I call it a man utilizing a grading bucket like a cake spatula and achieving spectacular landscaping results. No doubt in my mind , you're the best / tidiest operator I've ever seen. The property owners must be more than happy with the results as money well spent. Congrats again on the Excavator recovery.., in one month, now enjoying a whopping 7.3 million views!

During a time that's full of stress and anxiety, I always look forward to your videos to take my mind off the world and just watch your working therapy you do. No politics no opinions just good honest work and a great ethic. Thanks for all you do.

Wow, Chris, it's just amazing , the change you've made in that pond is dramatic. It's even more impressive that all the trees and brush ended up in that pit and you can't even tell where it is. Your work is so much more superior to other contractors I have seen and you car so much for the finished product. Hats off to you!

Owners are sure going to enjoy that pond. What a transformation you achieved.

🔥🔥🔥 FANTASTIC VIDEO 🎉🎉🎉

Haven't you ever heard Chris, 'smoke follows beauty'! And we all know how sweet that Volvo is, especially when you have her all shined up 😂

Chris, you worked your magic again!

Loving the leaf blower to get that fire nice and hot!

With this man's attention to details, Chris here is an Artiste with a 65,000 lbs palette ! 🤣🤣 Anothervery nice job Chris ! BUT it may be time for a few days break. First saying "I hate muud !" Then getting angry for the smoke. " I hate that !" 😡 That's not you, man. Yep, time for a break with friends and beers !

O.C.D.. obsessive Chris disorder..i have it and all of your subscribers have it.. remember ..you started this ..lol.. pond looks awesome ..well done !

That dirt next to the burn pit, you dug out day b4. Well it’s not mud any longer. Nicely done Chris on the whole job. The Pond looks a 1,000 times better. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

You do beautiful work.

Nice job. I hope that the owners appreciate your level of craftsmanship!

Just accept it Chris, you're a smoke magnet :)

If the people stay on top of the surrounding of this pond can always show its beauty. Great Work 👍🇺🇲

You're a good operator. These vids are calming to watch.

Chris, Maybe you should repaint your LD18 emblem on your thumb!

Finally some nice weather. Even if it's wet, the sun does it a little nicer.

Chris, David & Melissa must be so pleased that they got Mr.O.C.D.Pondman to carry out another incredible job, one question for you, I have 24 ours in my day and no way could I fit in what you do.keep up the excellent work, many thanks for the hours of entertainment you give us all.

Chris the "Picasso of Ponds" Another great Job!!!!

I don’t care how good a person is at clearing ground, they will never get every little stick. Even a ruckus rake will leave sticks and rocks behind. The only way to get them is to pick them up by hand. You always leave the ground as clean as possible. When you’re finished the job site always looks neat and well graded even when you’re dealing with mud. Great job and video as always.

#LETSDIG18 YOU SHOULD BE A TEACHER IF YOU EVER RETIRE. YOUR WORK ETHIC AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS OFF THE CHARTS MAN. FROM WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE TILL NOW, WHAT A TRANSFORMATION🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅👊🦅👊

Your video's provide a welcome relief from regular TV programing. Watching your video's is something I look forward to each day. I can honestly say that since I started watching your video's and KZfaq in general, I probably spend less than an hour a week on regular TV and that time is to watch the local news if I think there is anything worth watching.... Thank you for so many hours of totally enjoyable watching. A large bowl of buttered popcorn and a coke and I am set for the evening.... Thanks again.

Doesn't even look like the same pond; wow! Another great job, as always.

The Number one rule with an open fire is- no Matter where you stand, you will get Smoke in your direction! If you did a fire Like that up here in Ontario Canada, you would need a Fire Permit and then pay 10 to 15 firemen and 3 firetrucks to stand nearby in case it got out of hand!

Beats anything on TV by a long shot .... !!!!!! Pure Sunday evening viewing pleasure in my book.

Hi from England

Nice work. No wonder you're a busy man.

The homeowner has to be super happy with the outcome. Nice job Chris! 👍👍👍

Another great job Chris l!!! 👏👏👍To bad it's looking like rain 🌧️ to start the week again 😢

Quite incredible - fantastic work as always - really enjoy your videos :)

The aerodynamics of the excavator itself in the wind is part of what is sucking the smoke toward you. The wind may not be shifting at all.

Chris the blend master and with that AMI grading bucket priceless

The respect you showed that small creatures grave site says worlds about your character.May God bless and keep you Chris.

The ponds are always my favorite because of how big of a difference you make, I always love seeing how much detail you put into all these projects

before and after drone shots were really good

What a nice pond. It would be nice to hear what the customer thinks about it when they are around to talk about it.

It was nice to see the original pond developer did a good job.

Who Doesn’t Love seeing you Torch a Big Pile of Trees 🌳 and Debris and keep Feeding it ? 😬👍

My wife has OCD but it does not matter at all. She keeps the house beautiful and clean. She's just letting me help her with the big things I'm impressed that you can take advantage of a situation, which many believe is bad.

Your machine makes a wind block, as the wind blows around you , it makes a low pressure area right in front of you. So the hot air will move in towards you! Same thing happens when sit at a camp fire, smoke blows away, then you sit down then blows right at you.

Another very entertaining vid by Chris. This one was a fairly long series. No doubt some of it really drove Chris to the very edge of his patience. Especially the smoke and mud. We all know how mud is his number one nemesis. That property definitely quadrupled in value just cleaning up the pond and surrounding area. It's gonna be a beautiful place to live for sure. The field off to the left looks like the perfect place to build a baseball field.

By golly Chris that sure turned out nice. But then everything you work on does too. Tell us again how much you like that grading bucket! It’s a game changer !.

Chris, no question you are the Pond King. This is beautiful view for the homeowner and something he will enjoy for many years to come.

Beautiful job Chris when it’s seeded and the house is built it’s going to look absolutely amazing

You were so thoughtful when working around the pet grave. Thank you for that. It means a lot to me as a pet lover.

That brush is how we made our bush haul roads.Made a 18 to 20 foot wide mat.Then make the ditch line and use that material to top the brush mat.So once it was dry then it was gravelled.Some times the swamps would be half way up the tracks.We world set logs in front of our progress to walk on and built the road base with turned over stumps and limbs and knock over big poplar trees or any small trees we could find. Sometimes we made really fast and sometimes it took a while to go across the swamp.So I know what you mean by hating mud.

Love the before and after shots!

In one of your future videos could you explain what that little monitor on the right in front of you does? I’m assuming it’s a tilt display or gauge cluster of some sort? I think it would be interesting to learn about the machinery and it’s operation.

It turned out very nice, well done!

Major transformation sir. Looks great 👍

Ponds are always my favourate work to watch. Well rounded off as always.

@23:30 a quick refreshing shower!🤣 ...better than a grilled Volvo! Great video, great Job!! Well done Chris! 👍👍👍

That is going to look so good when all the grass has come up and its green!

The Paisley Pond. You sure do nice work

I can't wait to see the dozier at work..... Chris smoke follows beauty and we all know that Volvo is SWEET!!!!!!

Nice job on the pond!!

"Sittin' Higher Than The Fire" sounds like a good title for a song. 😁

Another beautiful job from a junk pond to an usual pond for the new home. Drone flight awesome

LOVE the before and after camera work

You actually make your country more asteticly pleasing

Man what a super job you did

I watch your videos every night until I fall asleep. It is so relaxing to me. I love your videos 😊😊

It's hard to believe that this is the same pond Chris. Beautiful work as always.

Another fine job completed by the pond master!!!!

Really nice teardrop shape to the pond. You didn't change the shape so much but gave it a greater definition.

Great overview. Perfect teardrop shaped pond. I always enjoy the journey. Thanks

,WOW simply amazing Chris this series.Well done fantastic work.You should feel real proud 👍🏻

Incredibly beautiful!

Nice to see finish product in a longer video ! Appreciate it !

Keep up the great work you are awesome at what you do love watching your videos your a great teacher.

Nice clean little teardrop pond. Looks fantastic 👌.

It’s going to look amazing in spring when the grass grows and green is all around the pond

Looks like you make the ponds bigger when you clean them up but all you're doing is yanking the junk off the edge of the pond's water so they can be maintained easier. Turned out great like every other pond you've done.

Wow before and after pictures looks awesome Chris enjoyed watching

*I really enjoy the drone footage at the end of the projects.*

The area as a whole looks much better for sure. Gonna be a great view from the porch. The very best thing about this job is. The excavator is going home almost like it showed up. Still glad the fire didn't get to bad.

Would love to see update videos of your work. With the grass and clear water. That would be the icing on the MUD cake 💗😉

absolutely beautiful great job well done thumbs up shared

It would be fantastic is you could come back in a couple of years and see the house finished and the pond grown in.

Man I would love to have your services for a week on my property. The quality of work that you do shows.

You should get you some cans of firestop and spray your excavator before you start your burn piles,you wont have to worry about burning your wiring

The smoke comes near you because you created it, and it loves you!

Chris, another great job! Thanks for the great channel.

Really enjoyable series of 5.5 days work and to finish with before and after was the perfect ending, thanks from Mike in UK.

I have yet to see you leave a mess.👍👏🏼👏🏼

That is some difference in 6 days great job as normal so much pride in your work no wonder you keep so busy. Chris any chance of a video when the house is built to see it all finished now that would be awesome can't wait for the next job

You have mud like we have snow right now....and another epic Chrispond is in the books. Quality stuff.

Good job keep it good work Chris

Around here all the snow we got last week starting to melt. Everything will be a muddy mess for 2 months if we only get a little rain. We get monsoons it could be longer. That wet spot you were driving threw that's the way it will be everywhere around here.

Incredible work...especially for one man in such a short time frame.

Your idea with the leaf blower is effective. Add a piece of pipe and stack in top of it. You'll be surprised, then just pull it out before you bury it. Best of luck to you, Bro

Really nice work sir.

The wind (mother nature) changes every time ...... just to piss you off! 🤣

I have been watching you for a long time I really enjoy watching you transform the pond and everything else you do , you are an expert at what you do, and I have noticed Tim is not with you does he still work for you,🇬🇧👍

This is a lovely spot and as the cities become increasingly dangerous , lawless and insane, there will be millions of people fleeing to places like this. You'll never be out of work Chris.

I never realized ponds were such a big deal. I've sure learned different watching your videos. Good job young man,very entertaining for an old guy like myself.

Chris, another pond job well done. Great work.
