Thanks Todd .. I am pretty excited about this initial pond fill .. It is the culmination of about 4 years work .. progressed as time and money allowed .. Going to have friends and family over this weekend to christen the dam .. tailgate party, ribbon cutting, champagne and chili .. weather permitting. I will post pics.
There is still alot of finish work to be done .. but that will have to wait till next year .. dock .. aeration .. water control structure .. topdressing and edging the pond .. and finish work on the top of the dam (going to make a foot bridge arch over the discharge)
