Guys thanks for the referral. Steve I work with a couple of guys that are well worth the money in the plannig stages. They will save thousands down the road. They can design the lake down to exact amount of cubic yards of dirt to be moved. This will allow you to get accurate bids from contractors without them putting in a big "fudge factor". I'm better with the cover/structure and work much cheaper.

One major thing I thought Big Pond would hit home with is the legal issue. It is not the 60's or 70's. Many folks still "just build it" out in the country but this is 5-15 acre ponds. 100 acres is a diff story you could easily spend 100K and 2 years in permitting a lake of this size. What county are you talking about? We are really busy until mid June but would love to help you out. If you don't know me the website is under my profile.
Thanks, Greg
