OPH ... there is already a fairly big pond, about 1/3 acre, it's in the woods and I have to clear around it. Pretty nasty right now, I'm hoping I can find a source of running water for it, and built a bit of a spillway at the outlet to keep the surface skimmed off. Just the other day was out mowing and looking through an opening in the woods to the pond and saw a big Heron standing in the water ... so good chance it has at least minnows in it.
Friday we take delivery on the "Phase II" equipment, also His/Hers but a different machine for each of us. This equipment will be used to move probably 1000 yards of dirt, clear 1.5 miles of fence line that hasn't been cleared in over 20 years, and clear the brush out of the woods.
Should be calling in a bulldozer before long to prepare the site for the shop, creating level ground is NOT my strong point.
Trying to get every detail done in the next two years or so ... I don't want to be doing this kind of work the rest of my life.
