Thank you all for the advice. Your knowledge is valuable and I truly appreciate your sharing it with me. As life would have it, I have several major things going on simultaneously and wanted to put this one thing to bed, so to speak. I apologize if my post seemed rude or my answers were short.

My best and most beloved dog tore the ligaments in his knee and had to have emergency surgery Friday($2k), my mom is having surgery Tuesday and my hubby is having a major surgery a week from Tuesday at UAB in Birmingham and we will be gone for at least a week, maybe longer. Needless to say my stress level is a wee bit much right now.

On a brighter note, a customer of mine has found me some reliable day laborers and we are going to begin clearing the brush from the dam tomorrow. I hope to get some pictures and to post them so that you can see our progress. So far I have been cutting limbs and saplings with a 12' power saw and having to drag them out alone. It is slow going and Hubby is in no shape to help right now. The aid of some additional hands will be much appreciated. Seems like I was working and working and seeing very little progress.

Thanks again for everything. You guys are wonderful.
