Chris, It's good to hear from you again. I had no idea we were neighbors. You and I exchanged e-mails back in March but we didn't manage to hook up to look at what I had planned to do about building my pond. If you're property is on the same road as mine, you know where my shop is located, just prior to the high fenced ranch. We're there often. If you see a vehicle there please feel free to stop by and I'll give you the tour. I would be interested to hear any ideas or suggestions you might have about what I'm doing. The last rain we had has the water up to the bottom of the pipe now. It's like watching a pot of water on the stove, it just won't boil (fill up)fast enough!
