Hi Rainman. I knew there was a lot of ground water where we dug, and I figured that much of the water for the pond would come from it. But it is also fed by about a 5 acre watershed, so I expect surface water when it rains and during Spring thaw.

It flows from many little veins. You can actually watch it. Most of it comes from where the ledge is.

The largest rock of the rock dock (at the front) was uncovered during excavation and move a bit. There was no way we could get it out. And the smaller rocks were added to make it larger and build it up.

So far so good. They did a lot of work on the berm Friday. I will try to get some pics up, BUT IT'S RAINING!!! Not a lot, but every little bit helps.
