Only needed 2 hours more

So Fred has been diligently working to get the pond expanded and ready for the rains that were due on Thursday of this week.

So Wednesday morning he only needed about two hours to finish hauling that last big pile of mud and muck from the original pond bottom over to the other side of the dam.

Well guess what, the rain man didn't wait, and Wednesday this part of the Ozarks was like Daytonna Beach or NewOrleans during one of those big round storms....

We had 6 to 10 inches across southwest MO and the pond....

well it's half full now........



The pile of muck sticking up shows where the original pond was, and you can see how big the expansion will make the pond... a lake now. Great for swimming and fishing.



Now to just get the water out of the pond so we can finish removing the mud muck pallets and tin, and then be ready for the rain again.



but we are like a willow tree, bend in the wind and recover to continue to

CELEBRATE LIFE

glad to know you are making progress...was beginning to think that there were a boat load of fish in that pond....
do we refer to this lake in the future as Lake DePer...or something along those lines....
good job there TC....the Bear would be proud of your actions....
