Second order remove dirt from shallow area of upper pond and build pad site for new home. In the process build a new fishing and swiming area and silt catch trap at inlet.
Views of site one day prior to moving dirt.

View of site today.

One side of the location was on grade. The other side required 5 ft of fill to level it.
I'd like to dedicate this next section to the family farm boys from kansas. I know I know I am a copy cat but I couldn't help it.




Third order of business increase size of upper pond by moving dam back and over. Increase free board, improve dam slopes for maintance and triple the size of the emergency spillway. Water has already sheet flowed twice over the top not good.

Forth order. Finish old projects and do road repairs while boys have toys on site. Boulders were shipped in to landscape the waterfall spillway and act as a retainment wall for the fill dirt yet to be added to this section of the upper pond dam.

Rock in place ready for dirt
