Well, we are set there. Once we get all the water out, I'll take a few more pictures and do my best to post. I've been talking around with some friends and they are willing to help with the renovation (for a fishing pass!) and have chipped in on the brush removal. By next week we will have clear passage to the pond on all sides. Things are looking up as it is changing from cesspool to the beginnings of a pond! Thanks fellas!
