Well it finally happened. I'll let the picture tell the story. It has been a long time coming, but man does it look wonderful. Now to get the rip rap rock on the dam.

The color looks beautiful!! We all know how much work and planning it is. Great job!! It is raining here now and I only need about a foot more to put it in spillway mode for my first time. How big is your pond?

Congrats! Finally!!
Any pictures of the water exiting the overflow pipe?
I'd like to see the dump trucks get back up the hill after dumping their load of riprap on the dam......
