Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam New pond seepage. Is this normal?

Now to persuade him to do both. Im going to go ahead and drain pond this week so in the slim chance it does rain I don't gotta worry about blow out and it will be ready to go when ever he makes it back to repair. He did say on phone last night he done core with 1foot lifts then ran over it 20 time with track loader. That set an Alarm off in my head. Seems like I read on here somewhere to make core in 4" lifts. He won't be happy when I tell him to start from scratch. Hope he don't get mad and not come back.
