Between Tuesday and this morning we have had 2.7" of rain, so no pond work will be done for a while. Hoping something can be done by Saturday. I am pumping the water out of the pond right now. As it turned out I was better off buying the trash pump than renting one. I have used the pump on 6 different days now and the rent on that exceeds the purchase price. I thought this was a 3 day job max but with the contractor stuck on a different job for a couple of days and that pushing us into a window of rain this could easily be a 2+ week elapse time job (already a 1 week elaspe time job). Hopefully not longer, it is tough sitting here and seeing all the work that needs to be done and not being able to do anything.
