Thought Chris's reaction to when Tim asked if he thought the guy was gonna mow it was hilarious. Anyway, great results again. You'd never know how bad it was eroded when you guys got done with it. Another job well done. Thanks for sharing. Edit: You should have stuck your magnetic camera mount on the straw shooter chute, lol. Would have been a neat perspective.

I was a soils inspector for twenty years. Specialized in water problems. You never cease to amaze me. just watched your three pond fixes not exacctly the way I'd have done them but, your solutions seem like they will work. haven't seen the second half of the pond with the pipe you dug out so nicely. Curios to see where the problem is. Keep up the great videos. I enjoy watching someoe else taking on the challenges having been first the inspector and them twenty five years as a general ground work contractor here in CA.

...looks to me like you know exactly what you're doing. One thing I've noticed is 95% of the people who criticize EVERYTHING on YT, usually when you click on their profile, their page says "This page contains no content." If anyone is that well endowed to have mastered EVERY job on the planet so much so that they can tell you what you're doing wrong, well then show us how it's done. And I'm NOT speaking to retirees who no longer operate/work and can therefore no longer get footage..but to the ones who can get footage but would rather criticize. Lead by example lol. Great job as always CG!! Hell I'm in demolition, know nothing about pond damming or whatnot OTHER THAN what I learn from watching this channel...so keep the good content coming! Most of us really appreciate it!
