The contractor finally showed up to begin the process of cleaning out the pond. Shown here he is installing a new horizontal drain tube. It takes experience to dribble a little dirt on top of the pipe with a machine that big.
The old rusty galvanized metal vertical drain is in the weeds near where you can see the transit sitting. It will get filled with concrete.
They were supposed to start digging out the pond today, but wouldn't you know, last night we had the heaviest one day rain total since June.
