Nice camera work, nice machines and nice comments by Chris. Thx for daily reports! Best regards from across the Atlantic.
I swear there is nothing more satisfying than grading with good, clean material.
I love watching it!
I think any teacher would agree.
Always amazed 18 the improviseing that goes into your work.Borrow pits for dirt and used to bury the crap you don't need.mighty smart!
Boy oh boy, when you do a remodel you do all kinds of cool upgrades. Proper slope, proper overflow, debris gone underground or burned. This is looking like a whole new dam. Of course that takes a customer that is willing to pay for it done right instead of functional on the cheap. Well done Chris. PS Next you get to play in the mud!!!
Nice! That is good looking dirt. Thanks, and Woof to Winston.
When you said that the ash pile was so dry it wouldn't absorb the water, it got me to remember what a problem it was after the Hayman Fire here in Colorado back in 2002. This will explain it better than I can..... Hydrophobic soil - soil that is hydrophobic - causes water to collect on the soil surface rather than infiltrate into the ground. Wild fires generally cause soils to be hydrophobic temporarily, which increases water repellency, surface runoff and erosion in post-burn sites. Soil dispersion due to sodification causes similar problems. You could take a bottle of water, pour it out on the soil and it would run off without getting the soil wet in any way.
Chris 1 cubic yard is equal to 200 gallons of water!!!! Great job as usual!! Keep them coming!!! Thanks!!!
Chris that slope on the back side of the damn looks great and adds so much to the pond. When the grass grows in it’s going to be nice. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Really enjoy your daily contributions Thanks for sharing
I've watched so many of these videos that I've begun to pick socks out of the washer and put them in the dryer as if my hand were the bucket on the 250. When I start making hydraulic pump noises, it's time to call the boys in the white suits! Thanks for the good work.
I'd say you're ok for now but if you beep when the dryer is full then you should be concerned!😂😂
Great video Chris. Pond looks great, a job well done.
That red clay makes fantastic dirt tracks for Sprint cars. Horses too.
You need to catch a grower combining grass seed and buy a truck load right in the field. Or rye or wheat. And an old drill some where. It is really good to help hold dirt and grass seed broad cast into it. Then just mow. Grass catches up and rye or wheat dies out. Or let it grow in flat places mow and bale for straw grass won't care. Cows would like for feed and bedding.
Would love to see this pond later in the spring.
That red dirt looks just the job!, great find Chris! 👍
Pond dam looks great. Excellent dozer work.
Chris I really enjoy you posting videos of your daily work. That's what I like. Thanks! 👍
Wooooeeee !! Man that clay graded out real nice so far Chris !! That is gonna look really , really nice when you get done with it !! I know you was ready for a good run at it after this long muddy winter we all had....lololol... Looking Great Chris !! Have a Great Evening ....On too the Next !!
boy did you luck out with the moisture content in that clay . tracked in great , what a great job .
I have run farm tractors with all sorts of implements and grain combines starting when I was about 12 years old on the farm. I'm now 59. I bought my first dozer about a year ago. An old John Deere 450G. Obviously I'm just learning how to dig trees and push dirt. But even so, I think I know enough already to say there is a definite talent involved here. A lot of it comes from experience it seems, but I think some from born talent too. I don't think everyone can be successful running heavy equipment. After watching a lot of your videos its clear you are a pro at this. Its hard to see from a video clearly what you see on the site. But I have learned so much from your videos. I thank you. And I hope to see many more.
I don't any idea about machine's you are using but I enjoyed watching you every project for the past almost 3years now, make some more video
Love that dump truck , been watching the build of the one for Dirt Perfect. Love your videos.
Is it just my hearing or is this 'older' 'dozer sounding more smooth / powerful than the new one? Man, I'd love to spend a day or three 'dozing that material,..it looks so good to place there!
You back up those machines so awesome!! I don't know how you do it. I've been mesmerized watching a couple videos about this here, the other dam you did nicely then it had like 11 inches of rain and you had to redo it. Also watched you demo that old cement/wood bldg by the cemetery during my marathon for the past few hours. I still haven't gone to sleep! I really enjoy all your videos I've watched and thankful you have many more!! You have taken the time to provide us entertainment as well as document your work and teach others who might be interested in pursuing a career in your field. You are a master. I get dizzy just watching sometimes. Not a height fan for sure. Awesome video!!
Damn finally pond work im happy happy happy, great job chris love the pond projects. bringem on!
Great video Chris 🇺🇲 I really enjoy watching you and how you get things done and well 🇺🇲
Just awesome skills. The dozer work is intriguing.
Chris, it doesn't seem to matter what piece of equipment you operate, you get it. Watching you shape that dam....amazing young man. I like seeing smart people work. The it factor😎
Love this video Chris and it was Dry dirt .
Started a new drinking game, every time you said "pond dam" I took a shot; missed your video last night I was at my AA meeting.
Too Funny!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one there, Dude !
Lmaoooo, that’s a good one. Lol
This is a strong contender for my favorite comment of all time....
So where are you on the Liver Transplant Waiting List? 😁😂🤣
Love the view from the old machine better,great job, thanks for sharing again.
55:52 is exactly what we were looking for on a Thursday Night. 😬 This would be Tough to Beat.👍
there should be no problem mowing that when the grass grows. nice work.
Amazing how God gave us all of these materials right at our machinery bucket finger tips.
You're right Chris. Having dry material makes all the difference in the world. Final product looks so much better than when it's wet. I'm wondering if those big trees on the narrow dam was causing the leaking. There were a lot.
Looks right tidy once the dozer gets to do it's thing bro. Enjoyed the video too. Safe travels
I enjoy watching this work.
It’s nice to have a bunch of friends who can help out when you need them
Thats True enough 😀
The breeze tends to swirl behind obstructions... i.e. excavators, dump trucks, etc. You wind up becoming the chimney... 🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoy watching you work I wish I could spend some time with you it reminds me of my younger years . Keep up the good work as always. Robert
Can tell you love the pond jobs Chris .
...playin' in the Spring mud..lol....lookin' good, nice job, stay safe..
Job well done Chris 👍😎🇬🇧
Very nice work Chris !
Hi Chris I was a dumpster driver in the uk ,we call them tippers, I worked for over 10 years doing site work,IE getting loaded with machines like what you own, without doubt.... YOU SIR. ARE THE BEST MACHINE DRIVER I HAVE EVER SEEN, Love watching all you videos,im 71 now and been retired for 7 years was an 18 wheeler driver as well keep the vids coming Chris great work BUD
Great to see you John !!!!
Florida needs your assistance with a Retention Pond. It is leaking! Call Piney Point ASAP! You are to Ponds, as Red Adair was to Oil Well Fires. If John Wayne was alive, he'd make a movie about you, as he did about Red Adair! Possible Movie Title: The Swamp Monster
You didn't tell Chris the leaking retention pond in Florida is mildly radioactive.
@@davidnull5590 Send the Trump Team, they're supposed to know how to clean a swamp !
@@marcryvon - The problem in Florida is trying to keep a really huge retention pond from collapsing and dropping all of the water and stored waste into the sea, the pond there is huge. No one wants to touch it, pay for it or be responsible for it. The State is worried it would collapse and the wave it creates would wash tourists off the beach with a 25 foot wall of water.
@@davidnull5590 The bodies would glow in the dark though, and be easy to find.
Hey Chris, I’m glad you have some help today! I know you’re Superman but sometimes you need to get some help! GOOD JOB GUYS! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻I hope Winston is doing ok Chris, I know you stay so busy and probably see after dark every day! Everything you do always makes since! I enjoy every video! Still dealing with the two hurricanes down here, l can’t wait to make my order for some shirts and at least one hoodie buddy! Hopefully by the summer, things are moving so slow here! Y’all stay safe! 🙋🏼
It’s great to see you all shifting dry dirt.
Looking good 😎👍👍
Sure is a change in job site since the last time you were here! Going to look fantastic in another day! Your hard work shows. Thanks for bring us along.
Hi 👋 from Hampshire UK 🇬🇧
Dat there is some gorgeous Red clay great building material
That looks like a beautiful place to live
Awesome job well done
That original dam did look mighty narrow for the size of the pond. 3 feet or more ➡ for every 1 foot ⬆, as a rule of thumb, is what I was told years ago, for slope. Never had that confirmed or denied by anyone that build ponds on a regular basis, though. I've seen a few that really were too steep. Impossible to repair a wash properly, trying to walk the loose stuff in would have been like trying to go down a cliff. Especially with a flat shoe trackloader.
Wow that dam looks amazing
Absolutely awesome work
you should go work for the TV show THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND. you get more dirt moved in one video, than they have in 5 years
Chris could relocate the whole island in one season (and they still wouldn’t find anything).
@@noahproblemo1257 i agree
@@cuznjo1 You know how to make a small fortune? Start with a BIG fortune!
You’re right, I wish on “ Oak Island” they’d finally dig up something, anything..🥴🥴
@@saltbeltupstateny4857 That island is going to collapse one day, considering the number of 'test holes' they've dug.
By golly Chris, that’s some smooooth dozer running. Beautiful work bud.
I really enjoy how he build a slope. Skilled work!
It’s great to see you have a truck driver today. Way to much for just you. LOL
Good to see how you work.. you don't cut corners, and leave near perfect results when you are finished. tks for taking us along.
ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Always a nice job!!
It really looks Great.
Starting to look very nice Chris 👌👍🇬🇧🍺🍺
Thanks for the ride along on the dozer, hope I was helpful. I never spilled a drop of coffe
Looks great, good enough to seed and straw if you wanted to.
Looks beautiful!!!
Looks almost perfect 👌
That sure is a lot of work for such a small pond
Looked great
That ash is nasty stuff...I'll take the mud any day over moving it. 😷 🤧 Fine work on the back side of the dam, Chris. Nice gradual slope!
great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Man she is looking great!!
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! Nice job on the dam! Looks a lot better with the maintainable slope!
Pretty red dirt, NO boulders 😁😁😁😁
I love watching you work the machine: a man who can walk, talk, chew gum, rub your belly and pat your head all at the same time. My guess is if you ever decided to learn how to fly a helicopter, you could solo in two weeks.
That has been a great dozer!
You sure make a good looking, strong looking dam Excellent job
Great weather finally to hopefully stay out of the mud.. Great vid Chris
Amazing job chris and you haven't even finished it yet.
What's up Chris how's your Thursday going? Thanks for making mine great!
Back by popular demand: Two Fifty & The Dump Truck with their greatest hit Movin' Dirt Doesn't Hurt
That did look purdy 👍
To the Pond Master,, another pretty job, man you sure do nice work....................
You Dig, Load, Haul and Dump dirt, Efficiently. Explains why you don’t have a shortage of work. 👍
Looks good
Brings back happy memories of being on a cat 225 and old d6 in Coggeshall uk
It's been so long I don't even remember this job. 😄😄
I sure remember him setting fire to the machine.
@@Mephiston oh, yea. THAT job. Now I remember. 😄
@@stevencorley2352 I think this job, that I call *New Pond 2* was first shown in ... *New Pond Cleanup With The 250!* - 29 Jan 2021 - kzhead.info/sun/gtiqn5porph_emg/bejne.html
That ash the water won't absorb is called hydrophobic!
Chris, your buddy did a hell of a nice job for you today! Seemed like he did a lot more work than the usual dump truck driver, whats his name? John something?LOL
Or Timmy...
SALUDOS CHRIS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. G.B.Y.
