After much contemplation over the year that followed building the small pond I unfortunately decided the first step of building a larger pond was to cut down all of the trees and brush downstream, in the area the new pond would eventually encompass. I fell and stacked the trees and brush into the bottom of the gully and let it dry for about a year, before lighting massive bonfires one night when the conditions were right. The next step was to use a rented trackhoe to build the new pond, and like any good procrastinator I was successful in waiting another five years before proceeding to the next step..........I'm sorry I've been a bit long winded so far. I'll continue later, when I figure out how to post captioned pics with the thread, instead of attachments. I followed the directions but must have missed something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, gw
