First of all, thank you Theo. That works for me.

Now for the rest.

Burger, I thought Alabama was the SE during football season.

I'm just looking for what problems you ran into during construction. Was there any kind of seepage problems. How do you make a dirt bottom pond hold water? I'm more experienced with lined ponds, such as water gardens and goldfish ponds but now that my wife and I have moved back to Alabama, we are looking for land here that we can buy when we both get working. I want to do a big dirt bottom pond to grow water lilies and different kinds of marginals in. That is basically what I'm looking for.

Happy ponding,
Scott
