Well Kyle with S & M Nix Excavating came out yesterday with their high lift and skid steer and got to work. They actually found 2 sinkholes (eek!!) and removed a good portion of the dirt yesterday. He was really pleased with the clay that he found as it was a beautiful grayish brown color. My uncle had a pond built not very far from me and had bright red clay with tons of rock in it. So far mine hasn't had a single rock that I could see. He is bringing out his sheeps foot roller tomorrow for when they get the main bowl cleaned out and get to starting on packing it. I'll post pics tomorrow when I get to a computer (on my phone now). Right now it's just a big muddy hole in the ground but hopefully soon it'll be a beautiful pond!

I've kinda jumped the gun already and have all of my fish structure in the barn and the wood for a 12x16 dock plus the floating barrels. Can someone say cart before horse?
