This is a link to a set of photos documenting the pond excavation, from the site clearing through today. It's pretty much finished. It took about three months, from start to finish, and was a physically tough project.
First off, Congratulations! I am always impressed to see someone shape land into a dream. Great slide show. Wow you have some beautiful woods in your area.
I have alway liked learning how, and doing things myself. This site and the vast knowledge of the moderators and members made that possible.
Ain't that the truth. This site is an unbelievable resource.
