Not sure what you are asking--can you send a picture.

Sorry, Otto,
I haven't been on the forum, until recently. I went into the pond and the 3 feet of pipe, that is below the water level, is 2 feet off the bottom.
As it turns out, I have plenty of watershed for this little pond. The overflow has had at least a trickle, since late September. I sense that a lot of suspended lime is going out the drain. On the brighter side, my dirt worker came out to look at it with me and, as I suspected, we can almost double the size of the current pond, before getting too close to the drainage creek or too much up the slope.
With 32.6" of rain, since last September, and water continuously seeping out of the hill above me, a bigger pond in the front is practical. My 42 GPM water well is also close enough to supplement, if necessary.
A bigger, excavated pond in the front will save me dollars on moving dirt from the future large pond excavation to the front for my shop and house, too. Stay tuned, when it gets dry enough to dig more. I'll be posting pics and asking forum members questions.

Good to have you back. The wet fall and winter has the most of the ponds in the country full like yours.

Keep us posted.

Otto
