No need to remove the pretty holly tree - whether or not the maple makes it. Simply remove the lower half of the limbs from your holly tree and you can stand and look out the kitchen window to the pond - all the way to the far side. The holly tree will get taller and you will have a pretty view and a nice specimen tree.

Chris mentions that the pond is lowering due to lack of rain. Makes me wonder how large an area his projects are spread over because he was plagued with rain on the recent concrete crushing series, as well as at other recent sites. Also, with the number of videos he posts there has to be a pretty good sized staff requirement to keep up with video production, meetings and quoting projects, operating the equipment, moving the equipment, maintaining the equipment, and all the other activities it would take to operate letsdig19. I'd be interested in seeing behind-the-scenes videos on how all this is accomplished. Yes, he did just show us maintenance being done on the mini but there is a lot of other equipment that needs constant maintenance. Keep up the good work, Chris!

Please save the holly tree. I would trim them all up so that you just have a top canopy, as somebody else is suggested, and then if it blocks your view which I don’t think it will from my La-Z-Boy, you could cut it if you have to. But I think trimming the trunks up so that you have a nice clear canopy underneath it might save the trees. I think all the trees along the water edge would be trimmed up to make a beautiful view. It’s already beautiful, but I think it would be better. Sorry for rambling.

Also, with the number of videos he posts there has to be a pretty good sized staff requirement to keep up with video production, meetings and quoting projects, operating the equipment, moving the equipment, maintaining the equipment, and all the other activities it would take to operate letsdig19. I'd be interested in seeing behind-the-scenes videos on how all this is accomplished. Yes, he did just show us maintenance being done on the mini but there is a lot of other equipment that needs constant maintenance. Keep up the good work, Chris!
For some reason watching this entire cabin process has been very therapeutic. I have had money, giant houses and all the associated bs. I would think I died and went to heaven to live in that house.
I agree, they are doing a great job. It's looking good, that aft deck is going to be huge. Look forward to more progress.
Looking good Chris. Those guys do some very tidy work, as we see here & in what they've done previously.
That turned out real nice. Your little home cabin whatever it's going to be nice when it's done. What a spot. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Looking fantastic this could be a plan I would consider for my own Casa 🎉🎉
I'm loving it. I can see why you use this contractor. He tries to be as efficient as you doing a job. That's almost no waste and everything is done exactly like you asked. I'll be surprised if you aren't booking 2 years in advance for the cabin rental as soon as you announce it is available. Hope you don't have any issues with government inspections. We all know how things are with the government. I can't wait for the next update and hopefully you get a lot of hay also. Great video Chris.
Beautiful ! Just cut the lower branches of the holy tree, so you can see the pond below it and keep it as a screen at the same time.
Please save the holly tree. I would trim them all up so that you just have a top canopy, as somebody else is suggested, and then if it blocks your view which I don’t think it will from my La-Z-Boy, you could cut it if you have to. But I think trimming the trunks up so that you have a nice clear canopy underneath it might save the trees. I think all the trees along the water edge would be trimmed up to make a beautiful view. It’s already beautiful, but I think it would be better. Sorry for rambling.
I WISH ALL BUILDERS WERE LIKE THAT 👍 👌 😕 WHERE I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHENEVER THEY BUILD THEIR IS AT LEAST 2 FULL SIZE DUMPSTERS !!😢😮...YOUR GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB 👍 👌...AND SO ARE YOU!!!!..😊
Beautiful cottage, great video, you have a great vision and now it coming true. THANKS
Your cabins coming along nicely Chris👍awesome progress, you must be stoked😊
Excellent progress, Chris. Like the siding a lot and easy maintenance is important. I'm glad you mentioned when the first cutting on your field was happening, it looks so close. Thanks for updating us on this. Looks awesome.
I like that it will look fancy but simple really like that sure is nice look forward to the finish. cheers
Hey Chris, I like the look of the cabin. I like the idea of a ramp, at least in the front. That makes it accessible for someone like me who uses a wheelchair. I wish I could visit a place like this, but I am not able to travel much anymore. Best of luck in your adventures.
Builder is very meticulous 👍🏻. I like that. Cabin/cottage/house is coming along. Congratulations Chris
We’ve been waiting as long as you. Awesome to see your dreams become reality with you.
We have a lake house on Lake Keowee in SC. It has a 12 x 40 back deck overlooking the lake. 1/3 of the deck is covered & screened. That’s the part of the deck we use 90% of the time so I’d encourage you to screen in the covered part of your back deck. Looking really great!! 👍😀
Looking good ,great setting and it's going to be a quality build . Hard to find old school builders who don't leave a mess,don't waste materials as you said . I've watch workers on sites sitting next to the rubbish skips ,eating lunch and just throwing their waste and rubbish on the ground . Hard case that the only machine left at home was the loader/tractor,guess you need double ups of the machines so you don't run out 😅
That’s going to look good when it’s done .
That is going to be o ne super super nice cabin / cottage / house I know you are proud of it
It's exciting!! Looking awesome. Very quick work. I can't wait to stay there!
The building looks wonderful and in context with the surroundings, I love it! You've got a good crew there, they clean up every day and do excellent work. Shame they are over the pond for us here in UK. They are not Polish by any chance are they? Seems some of the very best guys here are Polish, mind you with this country's history with Poland, it's not surprising.Thanks Chris you've got a good one there.
That's looking great. I agree with taking the vents out. Going to be a winner!
Job well done 👍🏻
Hi Chris, that is going to be one really nice cottage, cabin, house, or whatever you call it it is looking really nice. Thanks for sharing, Chris, and god bless you. Be safe out there.
Super nice Chris ! Outdoor kitchen would be awesome overlooking the pond.
Coming along very well , 😎👀
Its looking so nice Chris. Happy for you.
They are straight rolling on the cabin!!! 19:12
Your new house building is absolutely my dream house, especially in the location, as the saying is location location location, ❤😊😊.
Oh Yeah Chris, You have Great taste there Man !! I really like the color of the 8x8 posts, it all going to really look awesome with the steel plates on the trusses and all !! Yeah Man, the Metal is the way to go , I think myself, and i see so many people using it now... And really love how there is really NO WASTE !! That's the deal right there now !! lolol... Great as always Man, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !! That was some good looking topsoil you had there too...
Nice video Chris. It's amazing how much work they have gotten done.
Hey Chris! If you want that maple tree to bush out and make a great shade tree, try cutting off the top 3 to 6 feet and keep all the lower growth cut off.
Cabin's looking great happy for friend I know your getting excited .Great choices on the siding and colors
Looking really good bro it is going to looks real nice when finished. A great get away for a family for sure. Safe travels. Ken.
Cabin is looking great!
I like your cottage as you call it ! Please get someone to lay down some 6 mil poly on that crawl space dirt. Covering up those foundation vents would probably be a good idea too. Then install a small humidifier and you want ever have musty smells coming through your floors. I am alerting you of this because it cost a lot more to fix the problem later
I just love your cabin\ house, its going to be amazing ❤
I'm Ready Brother, Where Does One Sign Up For A Stay????
That is going to be a really nice retreat for people wanting to escape the cities. I wouldn't mind spending a week there, too bad it is too far from the West Coast. But then I probably couldn't get the wife to leave, maybe have the same problem with me too. Thanks for sharing.
A sweet little building!
Good to see a change of pace on the channel Chris, i enjoy the farming part of your video's, and the building of the cabin.
If you're planning to use that as tourist cabin, it looks like a really cool place to stop over at if I could ever afford it.
