Hi Rick,
First off, I am going to add
THIS link to your previous post in regards to this. It may help answer a question or two that you don't need to repeat yourself.
My overall suggestion is to move on and keep looking for someone who knows about ponds. I had three guys look at mine, everyone was different in price and ideas of how it should be done. Unfortunately there is no one up in our area that comes highly recommended, at least that I know of. There was a guy on here a year ago that mentioned a name. I will see if I can dig that up. I ended up doing mine myself. Heck, if you were my neighbor, I'd say lets go at it and have some fun.
