Thanks, Where the old brown shop is with the white door is where I want to move the house to (house is blue roof behind the white garage) and rebuild it there and overlooking the pond. The old buildings to the right are my east neighbors and have plants in the ground that will eventually block the view of those from my yard.
Have a neighbor young man (17) who works with me and started with me on this pond when he ws 14. We were talking yesterday and are going to pump all the water out in 2 or 3 weeks. See if any of our fish are still alive, remove the fish habitats we put in (concrete block towers, a few tractor tires great big rocks and such). Dig water leeching test holes, send some soil in for testing. Clean the sides of the pond as best as we can. Then decide over the next couple of months if we should bring in clay, peat and such for sealing better or go with something like ESS-13. Then hopefully fill it in Dec/Jan and not have it leak down anymore other than evaporation!
Keep all of you posted and please if you know of someone local who can set me straight, let me know.
Jed
