Let me start by saying that after joining this sight reading the books and post's I must have gotten VERY lucky.
I was working on a construction sight with an excavator and asked him to stop by my house I wanted to see what it would take to dry up a low spot that I was tired of getting my tractor stuck in when bushhogging. This was in a field right behind my house.
So anyway the timing is mid August of a semi drought year and he come by and there is water standing in the field and long story short he says if it were me I'd build a pond...............2 days later there's 2 CAT 953's there digging a pond.
Even though there not "pond" builders it appeared they did a good job and it has held nicely for 4 years now.
It is .78 of an acre and there bill was $5,200. I spent another $800 seeding and strawing plus my stocking expenses.
All and all I'm very happy and obviously very lucky. But its been said many times I'd rather be lucky than good...............I think?
