Welcome BP, I am pretty new here also.Finished digging my 2 acre pond on November 1st 2014 only 3 months ago.Figured I had plenty of time but hurried my tire structures and wooden pallets anyway. Low and behold I have had 25 inches of rain in the last 90 days.Most of my tire structures are already under water and I have 8 ft. water already. Am getting my first stock of fish in 2 weeks. It can happen!! Be prepared!! These guys here are great. Asks lots of questions.I know some of these guys have bound to answer the same questions over and over but they are the most patient people to help you that I have ever met. Good luck and have fun!

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
