The land is your canvas you see a finished piece of land and paint it with your equipment. This owners my favorite that you work for in your jobs . He has faith in your work and always keeps you working on massive projects.

The Pond Master is back to reclaim and improve a pond needing care. Looks like you found a HUGE Yellow Jacket nest. Out by yourself, staying in the cab is smart. Improvement step #1.

It's always nice to go to a less stressful fun job after completing a harsh project that was hard on your nerves and the equipment. Stay relaxed. Thanks for the video!

Always like watching the pond rehab videos

Contact a beekeeper to get the hive. Gotta preserve the bees so we can grow crops.

Sweet!!! Sooo glad you didn't get stung from the Bees!!! LOVE the pond work, Thanks AGAIN for sharing 😀 👍 ❤

It's gotta feel good to work on a pond that was built before you were born, and knowing that when you get finished, it will be something that can be enjoyed again for many years to come. Just the little bit you cleared on time laps made it look great already, can't wait to see the finished product, but I'm sure it will be amazing as all your jobs are.

Love seeing Chris back where he belongs, making a pond beautiful again !! That must have been a huge yellow jackets nest you dug into. Glad you were in the cab, they've unforgiving.

Seems like a long time since we seen you work in a pond!! Always look forward to see what you can do with the pond!!

Wooo-hoooo!!! Love me some pond restoration videos! They are my favorite as well. Have a great weekend Chris,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

I like the middle of nowhere land and ponds. You make it look great again. A house, great view with morning coffee and fishing. You can't beat that.

What a lovely pond that will become beautiful when your finishing touches are applied. Wowza on the bees. They definitely did not like the bucket and you were smart to keep the doors & windows closed! Love your work, Chris. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along on this next adventure.

I'm glad you're doing pond work. Its a lot more interesting to me than some of the other stuff you do. I always enjoy clean up or dredging existing ponds/lakes.

It’s easy to understand why this is some of your favorite kind of work. The results are fantastic. It’ll look so good after a day or two with the grading bucket…

LetsDig18 in his element - pond and pond repair, brush removing, balloons, bees, muskrats, excavator wash, clean and maintain on a beautiful sunny day in a peaceful setting. Not to mention good soil and pasture. Looking good.

As a farmer these are my favorite videos from you and DP. Reclaiming farm grounds.

Great video,that is gonna be a beautiful pond and surrounding areas,be great for pasture and cows would have a great watering hole.your customer has some great visions on all the property he owns,definitely keeping you busy,between Beasley and this customer.great job as always.just keep doing what you do best,making great videos.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍

A wonderful little Pond, what to lie in a well kept Surroundings District with Meadow Land and Tree Group. Round this Pond, on the Inside from Dam the Shrub very good to grow. What is to pull out! You Work with great to know. Glad my of the next Videos, where is to see the new building from the Shore. 💪👌💪

We love the ponds too. Thank you for giving us one after all the concrete 😵‍💫

I'm so glad to see Chris back doing what he said he likes doing the best. Rescuing an overgrown pond. That property owner definitely has to have some really deep pockets as much work as Chris has been doing for them. That pond is definitely going to be a really nice fishing pond when Chris gets done on it.

This part of the job is your habit Chris and my goodness you have made one heck of a difference in this one video alone this pond is going to look fantastic by the time you finish working on it, thanks for another great video.

Enjoy all your videos. Thanks Chris, keep them videos coming

Hello Chris, I really do like how you take care of your equipment. Most of the people don't understand how important it is to keep maintenance up. Unfortunately, I have a big problem here in West Africa with our people keeping up the machinery. Looking forward to seeing more from your content. Thanks for all day work you do and provide us with these great videos.

Please have that mole on your left forearm looked at. It may be nothing, and I hope it is, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I really enjoy watching your projects. Hope to see your cabins come up and your farm resort open soon.

Well, Chris, I feel your back where you belong, remodelling an old pond, and no doubt by the time you finish it will be another master piece ,great to tag along with you.

when you do projects that you really enjoy doing (clearing up old ponds) the results usually show by looking extra special good. Enjoy your videos and glad you made it safe from the bees.

Vegetation grows about the same here in northeast Oklahoma. If it isn't covered by a building or bush hogged regularly it will be an imperturbable jungle in three or four years. Balloon, bees, brush and beavers, quite the alliterative day for you. Thanks for sharing your projects.

Chris…. like many others I really enjoyed the concrete crushing adventure (was something different and new) but returning to what you and we love you doing is the pond stuff…. it’s calming, soothing, quieter, greener and out in ‘nature’. Thanks for the therapy!

BRING ON THE TREES AND POND CLEARING JOBS!!!!..AND CHRIS IS ALWAYS HAPPY AND IN HIS ELEMENT 👋...QUITE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY 😮😊...

Chris I'm glad you're back doing pond work and clearing, when I saw you climb into the belly of the crusher and come out covered in concrete dust, I knew the days of crushing were coming to an end.. love watching you work..

Good to see you back at a pond clean-up. I imagine there are some good fish in it. It was probably a huge yellow jacket nest you hit. Thanks for the video

It is amazing what a days work by a good contractor can do!!! The pond is coming alive again!!!

That's nice property for sure. Back doing your favorite thing doing ponds. Next favorite thing I'll be having a big fire. Looking forward. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

I'm glad you like this type of work Chris. It's my favourite, that and dredging ponds. I have to say, I never warmed to the concrete smashing job. I'm in UK by the way.

Love watching the pond come back. Sorry about the bees hopevthey moved on out of your way!!

Thank you Chris for a return to pond life video's. There is so much to watch in every episode, that the eye wanders around the screen in search of the next interesting point. As usual, a chorus of thanks from your viewers for the return to water features. From UK.

You always make a lot of progress. If I had you there. I'd pull some of that center section out. Have a bigger, more rounded pond.

It looked like Honey Bee's !! This time of the spring they will swarm and just land in a tree to rest, and I'd say, you grabbed where they was resting and you knocked the whole swarm off and it took them a little while to regroup and get on another tree... But, I agree, I really like the clearing too myself !! And you are good at it Chris !! You make it look too damn easy Man !! lololol... Great as always !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!

I always like watching you clean up ponds. They always end up looking great! Keep up the good work Chris.

i'm glad you love cleaning up ponds, they're my favorite videos to watch! Those bees or hornets were insane, good thing you got the door shut in time!

That you love building ponds shows in the high quality of the results you get with your work.

My dad dug into a nest with the Bucyrus Erie 88B yrs ago. He said he dug into a bumble bee nest, but I wonder if it was yellow jackets that were just good sized. That shovel front didn't have the best sealing cab. That is what I hate when mowing. I'm always on alert about bee nests in trees or ground.

I’m glad to see you back clearing and in the dirt again, Chris! 👌🏻👍🏻 Beautiful piece of property! He needs to call a bee keeper and those guys will come and get the queen and move the hive!

Chris, the respect you have for all your equipment is unbelievable, I agree early oil changes are much better than long term oil changes, look after the equipment, and it looks after you. The other thing that amazes me was the fact you noticed the pond overflow pipe was installed backwards. You take so much pride in your work is what makes you the professional operator planner that you are. Keep up the great work always love and watch you videos. Thanks for the exiting content as always.

Nice video Chris, the pond is looking much better.

The pond whisperer hard at work making a beautiful piece of art. Looking good Chris. Honey bees would be up in the trees nesting. Ground hornets are in tunnels and more active early with the warmth in their tunnels keeping them active. Not sure what you got there but good luck with them. Either way you are upsetting their home so they will defend it. Fibrous and stringy with massive roots makes me think some kind of willow but not an expert. All willows love wet areas.

I have been missing the pond projects, it’s going to look great when you are done 👊

Just another letdig18 awesome project. Thanks Chris.

Thanks for sharing Chris, take care and see you in the next video. Louisiana sending prayers and positive energy for you and yours! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻

That is beautiful land enjoyed so much be careful with bees and snakes 😊

I saw the bees, and that was probably the biggest swarm I have seen to date, thank goodness you have a closed cab, that could’ve been interesting. Nice to see a pond clearing vid again, it’s like old home week, thanks for the video, enjoyed watching bees and all.

That's a nice pond but needs you touch on it and will be gorgeous again.

Pond work seems so much more rewarding than concrete crushing. Look forward to seeing how you reclaim this nice little pond.

Love these That kinda work You do Chris pond job Smoove and no dust .

Gives you a feeling of great acknowledgment!! Great job Chris!

Luv this video! Scenery is beautiful and serene. Beautiful old pond will shine again when u r finished! Be careful of bees, nothing to mess with! God's blessings and be safe.

I like to get into area where there is a mess and I can transform it into a pleasing place. I get a great sense of satisfaction when the job is finished and the customer is happy with the results. I expect you get that same satisfaction for a job well done. What a great way to make a living doing what you love doing.

My favourite videos you do are when you are working on ponds Chris😊

I love your drone music you use. ❤ I really enjoy watching you mess with ponds

I like all your videos..but I love the pond videos..just amazing how they turn out..especially the Bealy Good Farm..you are comical together 👍

I don’t know about anyone else but it’s exciting for me to see you back on a clearing job after weeks of crushing concrete. Your clearing videos are my favorites.

Look forward to the next pond clean up video! Hopefully the bees will leave you alone.

I’ve been watching your channel for about 5 yrs. Pond clean ups redo’s is my favorite. That’s what got me watching is you wading out in pond on mats digging. I’m so into watching this kind of content my daughter at Christmas bought me a RC remote excavator love it!! Lol. As alway you teach and show us the proper ways to use the equipment and techniques.

Going to look awesome when it's done! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Boy those bees were pissed at your bucket.... better the buck than the operator I'm sure (gotten into a nest once.. Glad that was over 40 years ago). Working on the pond probably feels a bit like a vacation for you. We know how you feel about ponds.

It's great to see you back on pond work

That’s a nice pond! Bee careful!

My friend and I that used to help with his grading business were clearing a lot on Lake Hartwell and we “found”about 15 yellow jackets nest on about an acre lot. He made a beekeepers outfit out of a pair of coveralls and duck tape. Got the lot cleared and only got stung about 3 times from the first nest.

Great video's, at about 20:15 in the video if you look at the tops of the trees there seems to be a hive in the tree your about the clear and then you hit the tree and it falls, could be where your bee's came from. you are one of my favorite content creator's I follow. keep up the good work!

I certainly understand this type of work being your favorite. As a operator myself it is very gratifieing to turn a mess into something beautiful.

After that long torturpus concrete demo series I'm pretty sure Chris is seriously happy to move on to a pond rescue job. Of course it's fun for us subs to get to watch the master pond wisperer doung his magic on it. Gonna be an enjoyable series of course.

We make lots of filters. Nice hidden field there. Good place to have a picnic.

That was a very satisfying video. You are making a good job clearing the brush. I enjoy the pond job as much as anything but enjoy all your work, except perhaps knocking down big trees. Keep up the good work Chris. Perhaps the bees atacked the excavator becase they thought a big wasp was threatening their nest. It is the right colour 😉

Hey Chris, Beautiful pond area! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Is there a bee keeper in your area that could relocate the hive? If you're going to enlarge the pond - these bees are going to be in the way. Something to thunk about! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim

Great video,that is gonna be a beautiful pond and surrounding areas.

Awesome job! We have been working on our pond doing the same thing.

Enjoy your clearing videos, Chris I know you’re glad to be out of the cement crushing be safe. God bless.

Enjoy the channel, thanks Chris

I don't think I've been this early to an LD18 video lol. Clearing all of that scrub and miscellaneous trees away should open that space up nicely.

Pond restorations are my favorite

Hi Chris, it's so nice to see getting back to the way you started. I also love the clearing and pond work that you have now. With all those bee's your lucky you didn't get stung those bastards can get in anywhere. That is going to be a beautiful spot on the farm. Thanks for sharing Chris and have a good night and God bless you and bee 🐝 safe

Little film slip. :) Looks like a neat project. I agree, do not get out of the cab. :) Looking good. Thank you.

This is a lovely project to clear and open up the area to reveal the true natural landscape. Please try to setup your camera for time lapse as you progress and then give us a rundown. Your time lapse is nice to watch.

Pond should be real purdy after you run your magic over it bro. Safe travels. Ken.

Looking sweet , love the pond video’s.

Now that's a nice job site 👍 I'd be fishing on my lunch break.

Looks so fantastic after you have just cleared the trees. Once you grade the edges this will be a very nice pond. Will you try and clear the island or let the owner deal with that?

Hallelujah! Another pond!! Yippee! 🥳

I got distracted again in the timelapse. .watching the clouds.. Lovely part of the world to live in.

[32:39] That cleaned up remarkably handily [8:20] For those with an island in their pond, that's what a good pond island looks like when it isn't maintained :-)

I think what makes you even happier is the customer letting you kind of make it your own. should turn out amazing!

Clearing is my favorite type of work also. Nice property. Progressive thumb is the way to go.

It's nice to hear in ur voice that u r in ur happy place again 😊😊 that concrete crushing was brutal 😮😮

Beaver dam removal ..... YES!

As much as the concrete work was entertaining, I'm really enjoying vintage Letsdig18 work!

I like the over the shoulder cam view. On my channel I started off with a chest view and found the over the shoulder view to be much better on my. Great work!

I noted your comment about this type of work as being your favorite. Before retiring my job was similar and what made it enjoyable for me was at the end of the day I could clearly see what I accomplished !

800 hours already on the new machine! Time to order a new one! The service intervals they push anymore are crazy. 250 to 500 is good. Especially a excavator or somthing that is hydrostatic where it's running high RPM's all the time. Oils have come a long way but not that far! Anything better then LD18 starting a new forgotten pond project?!?

Creating another beautiful place.

i expect that tree root / mycelium / pond life colonies are acting symbiotically - and they will dry in the sun as one too. :) Might be interesting to have closer look at some of that stuff as the project allows.
