Wow Adam, what a picturesque scene that is! Definitely doesnt look like that here in Iowa. The beach looks nice and I like the idea of placing gravel as a base above water. My contractor is working on the excavation and berm for the beach today and the sand should come tomorrow. I've got a little pile of extra rock and I might spread that out on top of the clay tonight and drive over it a few times with the tractor.
Thanks for the input guys, I'll post a pic in a few days of final product!
