Pouring Concrete For The Overflow And Smashing Huge Beaver Dam

I love it when your plan comes together. That's going to be an amazing pond for the owner again.

30k views and it’s only been up 3 hrs!

In VA wildlife has to come over out and tell you if you can break the dam or not and how much you can break

Hi this is Shane I've been watching you're videos for a while and I've got to say ur the type of person that I would like to work for because you do a outstanding job

🦫🦫🦫😠

Like seeing what you have done so far bro it's been great viewing for sure. Safe travels. Ken.

Nasty job!! Should have seen several cottonmouths!!

Notice the additional body that showed up...manual labor. LOL

Looks great! Such handy equipment. Seems a dredge is needed in there as those weeds you’re smearing around will just grow back. 🤷

❤

❤❤❤❤🤬🤬what did you do too my dam says the beaver to the man.

I bet them beavers did not pull a permit to build that dam lol

Take a look at about 16min.. How did Chris get in the bucket like that? 😅😅

I suppose you might find an operator that is as good as Chris but I'd wager you will never find one that is any better.

Concrete bucket was a great idea!

MBTS would have some cruel things to say about that weld 😁

Chris/ Brush Commandi, how deep is this amazing lake going to be when it’s full? It’s going to be a beautiful sight to see when it’s all done. And I know it’s going to be right when Chris is done. Every pond I’ve watched him build over the past 4 years has been truly amazing.

Beavers won’t be too Happy but they can just Pack Up and Move On. 😬👍

So enjoying this project. U r the designer and sculptor of total messes! Thank u for video. God's blessings and stay safe.

It’s really crazy that on video the 48” bucket on the 220 looks like it’s the same size as the 350’s …big bucket (60” maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️ it was never mentioned). Guess the same reason my 42” clean up bucket looks big on my little 45. 🤣🤣

Good job mate thanks for sharing I think the end is in sight

So much fun stuff on this project!!
👏👏👏💯💯👏👏👏

Coming along just fine

ok you're just showing off now. but in a good, needed way. dammit

did see any ( no shoulders ) like snakes in the pond when cleaning up?

👏🏻👏🏻

That little sheep’s foot would feel damn good rolling across my lower back right about now! I woke up this morning with this back ache. I’ll have to show this video to my Chiropractor! Thanks Chris. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!

Question why aren’t you removing the beaver dam out of the pound instead of smashing it in

MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼

You need to make a Jumping Jack attachment for the Mimi!

Hate to see you destroy all that wildlife habitat while cleaning the pond. I'm certain the birds loved those reeds and grass. Do you guys ever put back trees and grasses when you knock a bunch down on a project. Northern Illinois has lost so much grass lands due to development. I'm 70 years old and remember with some streams were still clear and had frogs and turtles and bass. Not any more. The rivers are full of silt, the clams are all dead and I won't ever fish in this state anymore.

Chris I think the concrete hopper was a good investment. Made quick work of overflow and pipe setting. Now that's all done on to the fun work. Completing this dam and going to the next job.
When you dig up weeds and cat tails does the smashing into the mud prevent them from re-growing? Pond looks great with all the vegetation out of the way. How deep are you estimating?
Thanks Chris enjoyed the video. Hope you have a day off between jobs.

A awesome Job Chris

Seeing the 220 lift that compactor like a toy is pretty darn satisfying. Just shows how powerful these machines are

Hey I love your videos and hopefully you have a good day today

We could most definitely use some ponds down here in Texas

No more mess and easy for you to control the flow of concrete

I don’t want to be noisy but if u can buy vibrator that use battery is much solid underneath pipe

👍

Hey Chris, just wondering I’ve been a retired city firefighter and always wished to have been a dirt excavator but that didn’t happen. I’ve always wondered since watching your videos what’s the liabilities of sending water downstream if neighbors haven’t done nothing? Love your videos your the best & so envious of your career!

Oh that concrete bucket definitely is a lot better everything is looking great. Great job

I don't even watch TV anymore, I just wait for your videos 😋

We are using a JCB backhoe for several months in Uganda. We are continuously having issues with it's stage fire engine degeneration system because of the high sulphur content fuel we get here. Have you been having issues with these modern environmentally friendly engines too?

In the 70's we used those concrete buckets and a helicopter to transport concrete to a mountain top to pour a base for a microwave reflection grid that bounced the signal from one ground station to another. The guys reaching for the bucket had to wait for a wire to touch the ground or the static buildup would bite them big time when they grabbed the handle. Rotors and air produce the static buildup.

Great teamwork between you and the machines!
