Bill- Yeah I have been thinking about capping it but that would all depend if there was a single defined head. If there was it is in essence what I want to do. I just want the water to be captured in an area and have it move off site to the creek. I am concentrating the water in better terms so that I can maximize my acreage. If the spring is multiple heads in the same area I don't know If I can make that work or not. As far as I have researched capping works kind of like a reverse French drain correct.

Fish- Oh Mamma I wish I could own some HE that would be awesome. Maybe in the future but it's not in the budget right now we still have to build a house.

Essup- Whatever material will be moved will not have to go more than a 150 yds.

I know there is a guy down the road that has an excavator with a clamshell bucket for $70hr but I am not sure about a dozer.
