The anticipation of reaching full pool is killing me.

I want to make sure I do all I can before hand to prevent leaks.

Here is a photo of dirt used for construction of my dam. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=503354116385306&l=5a0b593691

I think the clay content is pretty high with little to no debris but was wanting other members opinions.

I have more photos of the construction of the dam...but lets start with whats on the inside.

It seems to be holding water with no problem.

Thanks for your comments in advance.

Here is a photo of current water level https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=503532203034164&l=ee78aa3faa

Lots more grass growing around the edges over the last few weeks.

It drops about a foot after several days of sunshine but I am confident this is mostly due to absorbtion since it seems to always maintain a fuller pool than previous.

Going nuts, huh?


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
