  I have had my excavator in precarious places but never that many precarious places at one time.  This job required superior operational skills and you have them!  Recognition of what and how is to be done is almost as important as the operation skill itself!   Great job by both of you!

  I like seeing property owners more than willing jump in to assist, but more importantly, they’ll  know the structure and where it lies, which will help in future digging. It shows the additional help with the owner was much needed, and it worked out the best for everybody. Love your channel.

  Mule behind the scenes was a big help! Put that guy on the payroll.

  I'm glad the MBTS can hear my voice (the bosses) voice telling him to free the high voltage cable from being stretched. I appreciate your eye on detail! My OCD meds I left at home.

  PVC pipe company engineer told me to scratch the surface of the pipe with a knife blade or a saw to make grooves so that you bond deeper. Running high pressure irrigation it made sense.

  The pucker factor remains high! But excellent work, Mike & Aaron. Thanks for sharing this interesting pond repair.

  I&apos;ve always found that locating services tend to miss the mark more than they hit it when locating utility lines! It takes so little force to break a waterline when trying to uncover them. No sense in rushing the job now that they&apos;re this close to completion. Hopefully the homeowners left one of their autos on the other side of work so they can still go places if needed.<br>Great job yet again everyone, thanks for sharing this video.<br>Mike from northern MN.
