Thank you Meadowlark for your quick response.
Here are some particularsthat I know right now; First, "A Plan?" (surely you jest!)I know that we want it deeper and larger, the piece of equipment we rented is called a track loader (rented for 7 days) with a 1&1/2yd bucket.
Some ??'s in particular that I have are; what to do with all this earth that were removing. what is silt, is this silt,is silt good for anything, can I use it in other places on our property ie.,lawn, garden, land fill???
And, angle of attack for the sides of the pond, any do's or definately dont's??
Im not even sure that my husband will adopt any proven expertise ideas but at least we'll know what it was that he did wrong for when we have to do it again!
Thanks again
