Thanks for the feedback. Well, my dirt guy canceled out at the last minute (again). So I wasn't able to get the test pits dug, but there is a silver lining.
When I first began my search for a dirt guy I was really surprised at the lack of experienced folks in my area. I talked with a ton of people who were completely willing and able to come dig a giant hole in my back yard. They often spoke in generalities and were found to be down right evasive on some specifics...not impressed.
I was able to find ONE guy who seemed to know what he was talking about, my present dirt guy. This however made it a one pony race, which made me nervous. Out of the blue my neighbor recomends this other outfit. After a very impressive 45 talk (during dinner time, from his home phone) we now have a two pony race.
The test pits will hopefully be dug on Monday with some insight into the go/nogo pond project. Sorry for the long ramble.
