Thought I would post an update on the pond. When I first posted this back in August we had started clearing the trees where the dam was to be built. Once that was done they started to core in the dam and hit a sand seam. We then moved over to another part of the property and ended up with a 4 acre pond. It's not quite as deep as the first one would have been, but it is still about 15 feet, and twice as big.
