There is a lot of grading that needs done around the house and along both creeks, so that will eat up a lot of the excavated dirt. Not sure how much excess I will have after all of that, but I will have to figure that part out before we start digging.
Thanks for the input on the willows, if I went after them it would definitely be a rented skid and rented brush hog (priced that out for less than $400 for 24 hours and no hour limit), but piling them up with the dozer makes good sense, especially if I end up removing them before I get going on the pond expansion. Wouldn't make much sense at all to deal with them twice.
