lee, I am not sure about the timing of the pond. Right now I just need to clear the land and shoot the elevations to see how high the dam has to be, check my watershead, design the overflow and spillway etc. My plan witht the previous contractor was to do it in stages, kind of like you are talking about. Add on a little every year. How is that working out? Are you partially draining the lake every time you do that?
