Hey guys,

As you know I'm going shopping for a pond and or location to build a pond. Hopefully pulling the trigger this weekend/coming week.

FWIW- Here is my daydream

(anything stand out to yall from those pictures/that soil assessment from the county?)
~8 total acres with a 1/10 acre spring fed pond in place.
Maxes out my price range though so i'm obviously stopping to see abunch of potential places to build one.


Anyway to the point->
Theres an affordable little spot (2.5) that seller claims a pond could be built on for only 3k from a "dirt buddy" of his.
Obviously this sounds sketchy AF. Can you suggest some questions for me to vet the buddy?

Would it make sense for me to have him pitch me a sketch of what he'd build and bring it to yall to critique? If yall think it could be passable I could then take it to Lakework or someone else and pay them to review the plan and do a site visit while he builds maybe?


Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
