RAH, as a member of the PB community, I'd love to see it. I know of only one pond builder in this area that knows his stuff, and ran into the same problem as you are now when I renovated my pond in 2008. Even tho you are a ways away, with the economy being slow, I'd give him a call. IIRC he dug a 2 ac pond for FCM67693 in less than 2 weeks at a price that was less than what it cost me to dig my 1 ac pond myself (although I did have a lot of time wrapped up in spreading out the dirt from my pond).
