Well here are a few pictures I managed to take of the project as we are going along, I wish I had more pics but since I was running a bobcat the whole time it was hard to take many pictures of the big equipment working. The major shaping is done and waiting on dirt to dry so the dozer can work to shape banks up.
Saturday an hour or two in with the track hoe, dozer, and two tracked skidsteers running dirt. For reference the top of the counter weight to the bottom of the tracks on the track hoe is between 7 1/2 to 8' so gives you an idea of how much dirt he is pulling out of that finger.
Crappy picture due to a dirty windshield, I think I had to stop and clean it about 3 times thru out the day Saturday.
Me and the old man running dirt on Sunday, to muddy for the big equipment to work much. They came by for about an hour to fuel the skidsteers and stir the dirt to try and get a little air in it to dry some.
My dad running the second loader, we were both ready for the day to be over after running dirt up and down the road created in the pond all day long.
Here is a picture I snapped as I left for work this morning of the far finger where the track hoe was in the first picture, it used to only be a couple feet deep all the way to the main pond body but now falls off to 6 foot deep or so in the first 10 feet and is somewhere in the ball park of 8 feet at the pond end. Also you can see the dirt pile behind the shed that was all moved by dad and I on the skidsteers, It is roughly 40 foot wide by probably 70 foot long and 8 foot tall...
