Great stuff. I remember our start. We didn't tell the neighbors and we had 4 acres of top soil scraped back the first day. Everyone thought we were building a great big new shop for my company. When it was all done they thought I was nuts then when it was full of water and completely landscaped they were shocked at how nice it finished.

Good luck and the only and most important advice I can give is if you build up the banks or build up any clay to hold the water at a higher level then the undisturbed dirt use a sheeps foot roller ot pack the clay as you build up the bank and use the vibrator. The bank will hold water right away and not take 3-4 years to season in and hold water. We just used the dozers tracks to pack and grade our banks and should have packed with a sheeps foot to get it to hold right away.

Cheers Don.
