And I've got to go through the extra wood and get additional supplies to build our bridges

Test fill it before you commit. as cracked and porous as it looks, it may just leak all your water out. depends on how fractured it really is deeper.

Yes....that's why he couldn't get it deep enough for the fish pond he wanted....so it's mainly going to be my Koi pond

It's pretty solid....and lots of clay..... we're going to clean out more of the brittle stuff and finish the rock etc on the levees. Our placement was basically to correct drainage issues where yard was already holding water and flooding

I've got to get to work but in the meantime....a few candid pasture shots for entertainment
