I took some pictures today but can't get them off of my camera.

The dam is almost done. We are taking the extra dirt from the pond and backfilling it so that it is not so steep. After that is done we just have to level it and add the topsoil.

Like JoeG noted, the pipe was higher than the dam in one spot. Instead of raising the dam we cut 11 inches off of the pipe. This will give us 1.5 feet of freeboard. The spillway is 5 inches above the pipe.

We decided to add more area to the upper end of the pond. It will end up looking like a kidney instead of a tear drop. I am guessing it will be about .4 acres when completed.
