I officially have a pond as of today.
We got both standpipes in place and the dirt placed around them. We used some T-posts and ziptied them to the pipes to keep them in place while moving the dirt. The dam will be about 3 feet taller than it is right now.
To install the 8" standpipe we needed some heavy equipment. My dad was trying to line up the tractor to push down the pipe when this happened. Luckily nobody hurt. We ending up using the backhoe.
This is what the pond looks like right now. Our friend will hopefully be finished in the next few weeks.
