This one's going to be interesting! That dam looks like it was getting ready to fail in multiple spots
Wow, that’s a very narrow, damaged dam holding back a massive amount of water. This will be fun to watch Chris fix this one.
Its a wonder it hasnt failed before, or at this point etc. Should be interesting
I love the pond jobs videos. It would be cool if you could set up a separate static camera off to the side somehow, to record the whole process and be able to time lapse the whole job at the end of the series. Anyway, still love seeing the dirt dug and learning why.
That's not a bad idea. I wonder if you can get a game camera to do a time lapse with a picture every hour.
👍😀
@Fix_It_Again_Tony go pros can do time lapse. I agree though, it be awesome to see start to finish in a reasonable time.
Good job of editing in serene, peaceful music at an appropriate volume during the drone sequence. The music matched the lake setting being shown.
Love watching your pond work! This dam definitely needed a Chris makeover!
Happy to see you back, the vacation was very entertaining, some crazy stuff you guys found lol. This pond will be epic. Chris, you have really grown your business a lot since the linkbelt days.
Agreed!! The auction vids are always entertaining.
I Meet Chris at the Yoder & Frey auction this year, had a nice talk with him and he a very down to earth guy and enjoyed meeting him, and the auctions was great too !!!!
Really nice drone footage and music at the beginning. Thank you for sharing this video
Never in my life did I think I would be excited to watch a random guy playing in the mud... I have been watching for a while. I enjoy your voice and that south eastern drawl you have... I think a lot of us would like to hear stories of the funny stuff you have run across... Curious how many videos this job will take... Which is a drop in the bucket compared to the actual time it takes ... ☮️
This is like the third large pond/lake maintenance or construction video I've watched. I have no interest in heavy machinery, I haven't fished in years, and Lord knows I have things i should be doing. I love them. They're soothing or something.
Nothing like a letsdig18 new video on a snowy sleety day. Made my day!!!
The pond whisperer is back. Looks like a great project right up your alley.
The folks in the area are so lucky to have someone like Chris to call on when they need dirt work. Hope they appreciate him. I had a good friend and professional carpenter pass away from that God Damn cancer at 49! Still hurts! R.I.P. Dan, it was a blessing to know you.
Beautiful piece of property. The owner did a good job clearing the dam and thinning his little patch of woods there.
Your explanation of what's needed & why makes the whole project much clearer, thanks.
Every time you build/dredge a pond and we all comment it needs to be bigger and deeper, this is the pond we want.
There are only a few things in Life more Interesting and Enjoyable than Watching a 10-acre Pond Drain. 😬👍
An interesting thing about dams is that it doesn't matter how many acres of water there is - how strong a dam has to be is ONLY a matter of how deep the water is, at the dam. A half-acre pond that's 10 feet deep will need a dam that's twice as strong as a 10 acre pond that's 5 feet deep. That's because water pressure is what the dam has to hold back & water pressure is proportional to depth.
Mechanically yes, but I believe dam engineering standards change with water volume change because of the risk associated larger volumes of water. I'd love to hear someone else's input on this matter too.
You also need to take care about conditions leading to hydrostatic soil liquefaction
Yep,true. If a failure happens a thin dam will fail quicker and thus let more water go in a shorter time but until that point it's all good
Thank you elder one
Water pressure is mainly on the bottom all the weight of the water is on the floor of that pond that's why dams are more sensible to fix. Easier to take pressure off.
Have you ever had a problem of water flowing onto other property causing damage?
That looks like a good amount of work . Can’t wait to see the end product
Beautiful property! When a pond is almost a lake! HUGE!
Chris looks like another great pond job! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Good to see you back in the Volvo Chris. Looks like a darn good project.
The 10-acre pond is back! Yeah!
This is going to be an interesting job. I'm looking forward to seeing all your equipment there and you'll get to try out your new haul truck. It'll be an interesting series of videos on this pond 10 acres that's quite the bond. 👍👍😀🇨🇦🌳
That's a big pond. Can't wait to see you finish it!
Nice aerial shot, that pond is huge and looks like a couple areas are eroding out pretty significantly. Looking forward the series on this one for sure. Thanks for the ride along.
love watching these big projects!
This is going to be an awesome series❗ I really enjoy when you fix big ponds , but fully enjoy watching you build the big ponds from scratch. 🙂
Beautiful spread. Big job. The client did a great job clearing.
🤣🤣 "got good flow! Cleared up nicely... & look like the pond has gone down.... an inch!" Lmfao!!! Chirs you are just a gem to watch and so beyond entertaining ❤️
It is an honour to watch the evolution of the letsdig18 fleet. A picturesque pond (drone views) will be a beauty when finished - lots of work.
This is going to be good! That’s one heck of a big pond!
I'm from the Czech Republic and we have been building ponds for about 1000 years here. When I see some of the techniques you use in the US I'm just Laughlin g. You should come over to my pond and learn how to do it the right way 😂
The way you operate your machine is a work of art. Finesse and accuracy is on point!
I never tire of your work. Thank you, Sir.
I really do prefer this music on your drone video than the previous one.
Well, here we go again. Another fascinating pond job by Chris and his Uncle John. I don't know why but I sure as dog stuffin's love watching Chris when he's in his zone working a pond build or rehab. This one comes under Pond damn restoration widening.
Glad to see you back to work. God Bless
Awesome, looks like your back in your element now Chris, gonna be a sweet project, look forward to seeing the series of videos from this pond job, thanks for sharing an sharing awesome content 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
My guy put a life vest one! gotta love it.
Pond builds/rebuilds are some of the best content.
This is a weird niche algorithm spot that KZhead keeps feeding me
Been waiting for this job! Chris, any plans to get your own compactor? Can't wait to see the "new" dozer in action. Old school equipment is just plain fun to see working.
It is a great deal of fun and a source of frustration to watch you take down those trees. You come up to a tree and in just a couple of minutes you have it down and out of the way, stump and all. Me.....I just spent 2 hours with my little 25hp tractor with backhoe trying to get an old oak stump out of my mothers flower garden. Right tool for the right job right? LOL I got it done but man, sometimes I sure wish I had that excavator. But then again, I likely wouldnt be able to get it into the yard LOL.
I love the pond re-dos!
I am excited to watch this projects progress.
chris great job. i was bugging dirt perfect to get his vids up to date
Beautiful piece of property
Hope you had a great vacation
Great video,hope you enjoyed your time off,glad to see you back playing in dirt mud,water.back in your element.just keep doing what your doing and get er done.👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Looking forward to this project.
Love your work sir!
Good Love wen you Recontruction on new old Pond .
Looking forward to watching this project bro it looks a great viewing one as more equipment is needed. Safe travels.
It’s going to be a good project to watch. Thanks Chris great content
This is a cool project!
Nice to have you back .
Would enjoy seeing the progress and start to finish on this one. Would make a nice mini series!
Looking like a great start to new job.
Chris they sure have the number one man for for that big job have seen you do some very big ponds.
Absolutely amazing how much equipment you’ve acquired since this project.
Looking good.
Looks like a piece of haven 👍 nice property .
Yes!!! Pond builds (or rebuilds) are best builds.
Interested in watching how this goes. Never realized all that went into a pind
Welcome back from vacation. From the videos it sure looked like you, DP and Clint had a lot of fun. This new job looks exciting. I'll be looking forward to the videos as you release them. Thanks for the entertainment Chris.
Use that concrete around the outlet of the pipe that’s a beautiful pond good luck thanks for the video!!!
Huge job coming up for you
Man that's a pretty place. I know when ur done it'll be 100% right. I absolutely love ur videos. Been watching u since the beginning. I swear if I was closer I'd drive there an help u on weekends!!!!!!!. Best of luck to you sir
Looking forward to this job!!
That’s a pretty big pond. Looking forward to this one, should be good. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
This is going to fun to watch, Chris!! Also looking forward to seeing you on the D6, even though that's not until another project!
Pond Doctor is back at it and it's going to be a big one. Take care stay safe and God bless.
“I hope that’s not a body” … 🤣 Another fun project!
White oak prices are up! Excited for another pond project!
17:16 "Hopefully that's not a body" BAWHAHAHAHA
That a big pond ... This is going to be fun
Looks like some sweet dirt for a change! I love these bigger builds 👍👍👍
Look like this will be a lot of damn work and very interesting I am thinking. Seems like a lot of overflow pipes which make for a lot of work. Stay safe working on that narrow dam.
LET'S GET DIGGIN' !! This is going to be EPIC!
This is going to be a great project and series, great job sir
I know, it’s painful to watch dry ground and open water when it’s two feet of snow, 18” of ice on the lake out front and minus 10 outside! Central Ontario Muskoka Lakes. The Malibu of Canada.
Chris, can't wait to see work in progress, good job on starting, greetings from Alaska
Just got here to hear what’s Gotta be done. WOW but you’re the man to do it. Will be interesting to see more videos on this project.
That a nice looking lake
good pond video
I enjoy you and the 220 at work! I enjoyed you and Clinton and his dad and Mike,miss tator,know he’s been busy!
Awesome video
That's going to take a minute to drain LOL Can't wait to see more of this project :)
This is is going to be a great project Chris.👍🇬🇧🍺
Awesome!
This is going to be another Let’s Dig projects with Dirt being moved, Timber’s, and big fires. Woo woo here we go. 😁😁😁👍
Love the aerial views and music. Nice pond. What no "Timber"? I was waiting!
This is going to be a big job and some very good videos
Hope no swamp monsta will be in the pond! 😆
this is going to be a good rebuild
I love your videos .. ya that plastic was deff plugging that pipe that was a nice grab gotta love when a plan works like that and don't go the other way ..... I only watch videos of cool interesting things or stuff that I wish I was doing I would love to have my own little LT excavation company........
I love the trailer!
Oh boy, a big job here ! PS: So funny, At 23:48, when you started the dozer, the sub-titles showed " Thank you." 🤣🤣🤣
Vacation over with ,, on a pond job ,, life is great ;-)

Captain Chris sailing the high seas!
