Hey cmm. Thanks so much for taking time to understand my issues. We didn't hit ANY rock! It's was very odd cause my house is 1/4 acre from this pond and it took 150 sticks of dynamite to get my foundation in. Very shaley around here but this pond is in the bottom land of a big valley. I maybe saw three or four rocks total and they were round river Rock looking. I am about 200' away from a medium size creek which is where I will overflow to if I ever fill up and about 60 feet from a healthy spring that ran through the very dry summer we had. Some of our clay had a sandy consistency but always was able to ball in your hand and got really "bitchy" when rolled with the big loader.

Thanks again. Any advise, words of wisdom or comfort are welcome.
