I added the overflow vertical and drain pipe with cap and kept packing dirt on the dam.
We had some rain and it partially filled up the pond, but not high enough to go over the partially finished dam.
Here is another view showing more of the back side of the dam.
I kept at it, weekend after weekend, slowly building up the dam, one box blade full of dirt at a time. I also scraped out a lot more dirt with the dozer to pile on the dam. It was slow going, but fun for me. And there is still a couple of feet more dirt to add to get it well above the overflow pipe. I also still have to build the spillway. More to come.
