A new handy dandy attachment? That’s cool. The two of you made quick work of that job.

That young feller with the compactor seems like a keeper.

Hey Chris really love watching you work truly a master of the controls you are. Have you ever thought about putting together a compilation video of some of the ponds and jobs you’ve done after all the grass is re-grown and time has passed several months later? Sam

It is beautiful to see how you and Uncle John common to work, her not much to speak. A good team mak a best quality work. What this video evidence

The concrete bucket on the skidsteer was neat. 👍

good too see John again. glad he is doing well.

nice to see you on the little work horse doing a job cheers

You and your Uncle John seem to be a well oiled machine fully in sync with each other.

You are The Pond Master. Take care & cheers from 🐨🦘🥰

16:52 "I'm a little tea pot, short and stout. Here is my bobcat, and here is my spout."

like a lovely teaparty there with the concrete

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

That concrete transfer from the compact loader to the excavator bucket is awesome!

I just love ponds so much its almost a pitty the upload wasnt a bit longer. Nice seeing John again.

It's Amazing how you operate the excavator 👍 so Smooth 👍👍👍

Glad to to see your uncle is get along ok

Nice job guys good to see john back 😎👍👍

Excellent vid as usual .... from the other side of the world, i rise and scan the morning news and mayhem, and can thankfully restore some sanity with your vids... good to see John working again.. ;)

I was thinking, John better hurry up and pour before that concrete sets! 🤣😂🤣😂🤘🏻🤘🏻👍👍 Always enjoy your videos Chris.

Working with the big boss today!😁

Nice fix and good to see John.

Thank you for taking the time to create the videos. We enjoy them!

Short quick and to the point. Enjoyed the video. On to the next project.

Another great job Chris. At 81, i'm still learning tricks of the trade from you, the master, LOL. Bob. NZ.

Operating AND shoveling?! Where'd Dirt Perfect go? Excellent video, Chris. Idk why these are so satisfying to watch.

The tracks on that skid steer look smoother than a baby’s bottom! Lol I bet that thing has gotten a lot of use!

Bang bang that’s a wrap!! Nice

Awesome to see big John out there again 👍

In all the years you've been on KZfaq, think John would finally let you feature him in a video. Maybe share a little about him and the history of the business.

The skidsteer concrete bucket attachment reminds me of one of those Andrew Camarata might buy to do a video on. I think he bought one that actually mixes the concrete in the bucket after you get a scoop or 2 of sand and gravel with it.

Great video. Trees/roots on any dam drives me nuts. I used to inspect dams and keeping them free of trees goes a long way towards reducing leaks and dam failures.

Chris it's nice to see your Uncle looking much better. Still love pond projects as we have few ponds in Colorado.

Yet another great Video teaching and showing.

If you block up the exit and hook an air compressor to it, it should blow bubbles out the missing end in the pond.

What a great job it looks awsome the new will last for years to come. Thank you for another awesome video. I have been enjoying all the video's. 😀❤🇨🇦

@17:03 I never saw such an 'concrete can'. Funny but practicable and skillful! 👏

Love all you videos mate don’t get a lot of ponds over here in uk so really enjoy the pond building/ refurb / fixing content you bring to us 👌👌👍

2-3 minutes in and great camera work. enjoying it.

Lovin your concrete tea pot 😁 never seen one of those before 👍

That's a pretty handy hopper you have there for pouring concrete! 😉

John is “THE MAN “ love the accent

Great video 👍👍

Looks great Chris, thanks for sharing brother!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

I've watched you do a dozen overflow pipes at least. It so satisfying every time.

good pond video

Slick fix. Good troubleshooting skills.

nifty attachment on that skid steer!

...good one, nice work, stay safe and well...

Good team work

Enjoyed this video bro. Hope all goes well at the meet and greet. Safe travels

Good to see big John getting his hands dirty

Good to see John is like new!! Haha. He sure doesn’t spare the concrete. Great to see. No chance of a failure when he gets done. It’s good to remember that Chris is a very good to great operator, but to a very large degree, John taught Chris everything Chris knows about the job. Chris has worked for John for a long time now! It’s funny to see the boss in the trench running the packer while Chris is the employee in the machine, but a good boss puts his best resources where they do the best and recognizes his place in the team!! I know,,,,,, when I worked on my ranch, once I took on a second career in law enforcement 4 days on & 4 days off, I worked for my Farm Manager. I was the guy throwing bales etc and he ran the machinery. He needed to be by the radio for the other guys to be able to get ahold of him if needed. I could do it all, he could do most better and he was there every day, I wasn’t. I wasn’t a (somewhat) typical farm owner or ranch owner. I paid him very well. My crew too! I was fortunate enough to have a core crew of 6 guys with 15 - 30 years of experience when I retired. They stayed on with the new owner and at their salaries. The new owner was hesitant, but now after almost 2 years and no turn over, he sees the reasoning. They all work hard out of respect that they are paid what they are worth. I suspect Chris is paid quite well by John also, plus Chris is now on his way with his own business as well. Working 8 days a week, almost literally, you do obtain a high level of success, if you are smart with your money for later in life. Hopefully Chris slows down sooner than I did though, health can make retirement a little more challenging, like the back issues I have.

Your getting to be a expert in fixing leaking ponds

I almost thought that was the last pond until I realized that you removed all the trees from the pond side of the dam on the last one!!

Poor Unk !! Jumpin' Jack Beating him to death !! lolol.... Chris , I think you needed a few more roots on that job !! lolol... In an Out... and , On too the Next !! Have a Great Evening Man !!

Nice job!!

Letsdig18/The Pond Doctor nice job Chris

Glad John is doing good he looks like he would be good to work for.

man I've got to say your work is great keep it up you are one of the best I've seen

I LOVE how that pond is lined with pine trees. Looks way less man made.

Your jumping Jack, sounds like a Helikopter!😁 ( Bell Hui )

Great video Chris I really enjoyed this video 🇺🇲

crazy good

Love your videos

Great job 👏 👍

I think it's about time for a Winston cameo !

That;s one heavy duty teapot!

Now that was a good video CTB!

There is a pond here that I think needs your services. I drive by it frequently and it is very very low - by several feet. IMO too low to be from lack of rain.

That first batch of concrete was a little dry but driver must had mixed it more for the rest

Hey Chris, what's the most interesting thing that you have found digging in the dirt all these years, you've been on some older properties.

You guys had a nice Tea Party at the end.... LOL

Everything looks small until someone stands beside it :-)

Looks like a golf course can be built in that area with the pond in the middle

Awesome 😎

Crazy how much that compactor sounds exactly like one of the Bell two-blade helicopters, like a 204 or 222 or Cobra. With the diesel hum from the Yanmar and that compactor, now I know what a diesel helicopter might sound like.

Chris, that has to be the FIRST TIME that I've seen a Shovel in you're hands! Must've been hard on you?😌😆

I love it when u have a plan that comes together cause ur dam good on the equipment on everything u do I wish I was good as u running the equipment the people I was working for running the d4 dozer he was a older guy and he was good but not like u and he was teaching me alot how to run all the equipment he had and I had a bad car wreck and messed my back up and I had my seat belt on but still hit the windshield with my head and face I got hurt pretty bad and I can't do that stuff anymore I miss running the equipment and now I'm disabled and now my health has went down stay sick and the doctors think I have cancer to got to go have more tests done and see if I do see if its spreading to so I try to work on cars with my two boys and teach them how to cause of my health problems spend time with them fighting to get my disability started and that stuff is hard to get got a good lawyer on it tho like I said ur dam good on what u do Chris and love watching ur videos to so keep on making them and I'll keep on watching them be safe and be careful doing what u do cause that stuff is dangerous running the equipment cause I no from running them and watching other people running them

They should call you the Pond Guy.

Why put concrete in the new overflow? Is it just to weight it down so it doesn't want to float up?

I guess Uncle John is doing good. Using the jumping jack isn't easy. Made fast work of a very important fix.

John does like a well compacted trench, a man after my own heart. Hang on, a concrete shoot for the skid steer not seen that on here before.

Top five, amazing,life changing, never been able to dream this big.

Good afternoon. When I first saw you drop some of the concrete in the new overflow, I was like "nice job". Then you hand shoveled some in, I understood the tee. Sometimes it's nap time when I watch these. Lol, but true. So if you have done that in other videos I missed it. So this time I say NICE JOB! Really a great idea.

werry nice jobb

11:38.., now would be a great time to ask uncle John for that raise.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Professional repair. Just a query, why didn’t you dig up the old pipe and lay the replacement in that trench…..I know you’ll have a good reason……keep up the excellent videos 👍

That concrete bucket for the bobcat sure looks handy, does it have chute extensions?

You and Uncle Jon know how to fix old pond pipes. Very dry and sandy looking dam fill, was there ANY clay? There`s some. Good job but you did not say why you only got a half a shovel full of concrete - I know,,,it gets heavy.

So I've only recently come to have a fascination and appreciation for the building and maintaining of artificial ponds and things that could make life difficult for stuff. As I understand it bushes and trees close to or near the water line are a horrible thing because their roots can punch through the clay lining and provide weak points for leaking. Exactly how close to the water line is ok for trees/bushes before this is a problem? Not building a pond or own property to put one in even if I wanted to. Just kinda curious

If Pond is in the Job Description, you’re a GO since you’re Overqualified to Work on Ponds. 😬👍

I rewound a few times at 12: thinking I missed the new pipe install….vid went straight to fill from digging. I feel cheated! 🤣

Amazing what can be done with the mighty Yanmar.

That tiny little bucket is so cute. What do you normally feed it?

The Tracks 👣 On Your Takeuchi Loader Are Like Slicks 😱 Time to spend some of your youtube millions 💰😛👍

Can you do a video on how to bid on excavation work? I know dirt perfect was kinda explaining on one of his videos but can you explain how you do it. Thank you

Hey Chris, why the concrete in the pipe? To direct the flow maybe?

could u please explain why u put concrete in the new overflow

16:52.., I see you sold that mulcher and bought something useful :-p
