People wanting it 20' deep don't know anything about ponds. That would just put a bunch of dead water on the bottom that would turn over and cause fish kills. 8-10' is plenty deep.

It is truly mind blowing seeing how much one person can get done when he knows what he is doing and has the right equipment.

More pond jobs coming up, Very excited, I think ponds are one of the favorites for us.

Great to see you building your own fleet of machinery there Chris 👍🏽

The pride you take in your work is lovely to see and I’m sure your business will be a huge success but don’t forget you need to make time for yourself

Your videos are among the few on KZfaq that let you feel like you are at the pond site. I am a bit of a pond build fan and have watched quite a few start to finish. Your footage is some of the most engaging I've ever watched.Thank you for the well produced footage this is going to be fun.

Feels like I’m still bouncing in the truck . I’m sure I will be dumping dirt in my sleep lol

That roller looks to be in really good condition. Someone took good care of it. Gotta be the last piece of equipment Chris really needed to round out his pond building inventory. Tickled me pink to get a notice he's starting the pond build after that long laborous stump pulling torture he endured. It almost seemed like he'd never get that done at one piont. Thanks Chris for some Saturday afternoon entertainment.

Geoff is doing better at keeping his drone out of the jaws of the great iron dragon. That scene added a good laugh. Getting easier to see the total scope of this pond. It will be taking up your weekend most of the summer. Thank you for your time and talent you just make the job like so easy!

You can tell building ponds is really a passion of yours Chris, I hear a little giddiness in your voice as you describe all the steps ... it's great! 👍

Young man I would just like to thank you for all the videos I have watched over the years of you !!!! I am entertained and amazed by your dexterity with each and every machine you use in your work ! Your videos have become the start to my days and so again I thank you !!! Keith

Nice work, Chris. I loved you saying "I'm getting back in the machine right now" when Geoff said he had another change order!🤣Geoff, excellent drone footage. Getting right into the bucket & thumb was mesmerizing. This pond is going to be beautiful when completed. Chris, you are a joy to watch.

This is going to be a beautiful pond

I loved that drone shot of the bucket and thumb closing up. Also , I now understand that building a pond is way more involved than just digging a hole and letting it fill up with water. I like this stuff. Thanks for sharing

Mr Bealy’s camera work takes the win!!! Lift your game Chris..... 😆😂🤣

Chris, you have great organizational skills. It is a beautiful thing to see everyone working together.

I’m sure I’m not the only one that can hear the pure joy in Chris’s voice. No more stumps, starting on the pond dig, no mud to slog through and it seems the equipment is behaving. I know Bealy is paying for it but in all reality, it is 100% on Chris and his skill. All of us have ring side seats to see how this build unfolds. Real nice work. Its going to be a beautiful pond.

I’ve been following ur channel for 4 years now. Chris u do Great work. Ur a True Operator Skilled at ur Craft.👍 I’m a Truck Driver/ Laborer for the state I live in. I love Heavy Equipment n trucks. Thanks for the Videos Chris much love n respect bro✌️

Awesome video, great job to all of you. Loved the drone shots a bunch. Probably the best video coverage I have ever saw on you tube. Thanks to all you guys. You know how to make a day good for us observers thanks guys.

Chris I think if your fleet gets any bigger your gonna need your own full size fuel truck.. your work is amazing like always. I Always look forward to your videos, pond builds and over flow replacments are my favorite. thank you!

The fellow helping with special video shots and drone footage has a gift. I'd like to see more of that.

One of your best videos since you dug out and saved the excavator in the pond about three years ago. Perhaps you should hire Mr. Bealy Good to shoot drone footage for future job sites!

The drone shots really put into perspective the true shape of the ground and your surroundings which is something that you do not really appreciate from the digger cab as it looks fairly level from our view point ! Great teamwork along with all the information as to why you do this and do that.And great to see the yellow fleet growing all the time. Thanks for another cracking video. Ps the roller definitely needs the letsdig18 logo so as to match the rest of the fleet. 😁

41:44 Volvosaurus Rex move approved! :D

I started watching you back when I first started operating equipment and still today watch your videos

Always find it kind of funny that some people keep telling you what they think you should do with the pond, like digging it deeper, ignoring the fact that you have been doing this for 20 years. You know what you're doing, and if you you're doing something for some reason, it's because experience has told you that it's what will work best for that particular situation and location.

omg Chris absolutely loving the close up drone shots

Chris you and GPB are doing a good job with the team effort on the videos. Nice to have someone shoot some footage for ya .

So satisfying watching all the work that goes in to pond construction. Great video, as usual.

Looking great Chris. Must be nice to have your own group of minions to do your side chores... To bad Winston can't come out to supervise for you too!! 😅

Wait till y’all see tomorrows videos. I was there and can’t believe how much more was accomplished in one day. Hats off to an awesome team.

The drone shots are much appreciated - Thanks Mr. Bealy!

Absolutely amazing job of building that pond dam the way you folks did it sir. Awesome.

Beautiful work!

Awesome video really starting to look like a pond great job Always a joy to watch

I can tell you have mastered all your big boy toys. That is impressive achievement in my world.

I love these long videos. You are doing a great job on this pond dam.

Amazing colors in the soil you are digging up here. such a palette of "earth" tones. wonderful!

Got a lot done in 1 day for sure! Thanks for sharing Chris!

Lots of work complete!!!! Always lots more. ...looking awesome ya'll

Loved this video & can't wait to watch the rest of the pond take shape. Gonna be a beautiful pond. Thanks for the video.

Enjoyed watching you have fun with the drone footage 😀

Great video and nice chance from the stumping on this project.

Nice to see all the equipment running sound.

Really enjoying this part of the project. Going to be a sweet pond!!

That was an awesome video. Mr Bealy Good drone section and footage just improved the over all video. It is looking like a pond now. :) Thank you and have a wonderful day.

That's a lot of dirt to move and still loads to move.Busy busy as always Chris 👍🏻

Fine fine editing on this one Chris. ( they’re all good) New music, new perspectives, you ROCK.

Amazing insight on how to build a pond A-Z. Fascinating

You're building one hell of a fleet

...looks good, comin' along nicely, keep safe...

Truly a nice vid Chris. Lots of action, comments, machines and fun. Nice to see you have some help. Can't wait to see the progress on the pond develop. As always, very nice work.

The pond build is looking good Chris and the drone footage was very good on this job. Glad to see you have a dirt compacter now, should help you a lot on your pond builds and others. Waiting to see the pond when it's done.

Great work Chris! You make it look so easy!!!!

nice work, compactor is nice and a needed addition to the fleet. thanks for the video.

Looking good thanks for the video good team work

HELL YES, hour long, best entertainment on the tube! if only all your videos could be this long. 👍👍👏👏👏😍😍😍

Good progress will be ready for fish soon 👍

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to you

congrats on the roller looks decent. stuff sure gets moving fast when you got your buds helping out. nice job fellas . cheers.

Good clean, root free dirt for the wet side of the dam so there is no wicking and expand/contract/ from the wood that could break the dam and providing something to grow grass on to protect the core from mechanical/wave erosion. I love watching the videos, it shows how to get things right while being relacxed about it. The sure sign of a real pro.

Thanks for explaining the construction of a good pond dam. Great to se the team in action moving many tons of dirt/clay.

Great job Chris and crew. Like a well oiled machine at work! Great video thanks for sharing!

Looking great glad you got you a new toy love how the drone went next to the bucket

Another great addition to the fleet. In this world of turmoil it is so heartening to know there are men as yourself and team working their absolute butts off to build a better world. Loving the pond dam construction.

luv'n the fly over & watching Robert running the flattener...

Good job and nice footage with the drone

Nice job Thanks for your time

Good Roller adding to your stable of machinery. Really moving the dirt in the last couple of days. Nice camera angles. Thanks Chris.

That pond dam is taking shape in a hurry. Looking great.

Love the playful shots with the drone! Snapping the bucket at it was great lol.

Nice looking roller your getting up to a nice fleet of equipment dam is starting out nice 👍👍😎

You and GPB have turned out an especially great video, thanks for sharing

Looks like lots of progress today!

Great drone footage great helpers great work makes for a great video keep up the amazing work.

Great buy getting that roller you've needed that for a while.

Starting to take shape nicely.

Nice videography Mr B. Great build. I like how you teach us what it is and why you are doing it.

-Looking great Chris.

You seem to be building a good team with your building fleet, love it.

i really enjoyed the drone footage ! It added a whole different perspective on how you work! Good Job!!

super cool seeing this from scratch after watching so many repairs!

Really like the drone footage gives a different view on the scope of the amount of work involved. As always another great video sir !

Congratulations on ur new piece of equipment! You certainly are building your own fleet. Luv the pond building as you explain each thought process. Loved this video! God's blessings and stay safe!

Awesome drone footage!

Alot of work on this one.great job guys.

An amazing amount of dirt moved today!! Can't wait to see this finished and full of water.

Wow Chris you all moved a lot of dirt. Great video 👍👍

Awesome work. The Bealy Good Project is moving along quite nicely. To say that you know what you are doing is an understatement!

Nice long one one the weekend, thanks.

Glad you are able to grow the business.

53,000 views in 6 hours. Amazing. Good thing they don't all comment or Chris would be up till morning. Thanks for the video and the explanations!

A skilled operator is fun to watch. Nice work!

Very cool video. Things are really moving along now. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

I like it when Chris gets to have fun while working, makes the videos even more enjoyable

It's so cool to see the Damm taking shape. I'll be watching every single stage. Awesome work. Just keep on keeping on.

I want to thank you for all the information you share, I watch every video religiously and learn information I can use!

The dry weather is helping make the pond dam go quicker. rain throws a wrench into everything. the dam is looking good. stay safe.

Great video Chris, the new pond is coming along nicely. I thought you would bring along a new toy for the pond dam build. Take care.

So that is pretty much one third of the pond dam if I am seeing it correctly. That is much faster than I expected it to go. I know that there is a lot more time involved in putting it the overflow structure and hitting final grade and such, but you really put this much up fast. Then of course there are the clean up details and the dirt moving for that upper hillside across the pond near the head. Love seeing a plan come together like this. So glad that roller worked out for you. Kind of scary having a new piece of equipment that the whole plan counts on to perform, so it is good when it does. As always thanks for bringing us along.
