Yes. Probably wait until tomorrow in case we get any more rain tonight. Should be able to start the siphon easily at the current water level. If I drain today and it doesn't fill as high as the current level with more rain tonight it will be tough to start due to how much the water will have to draw up the pond side.

In my rural area I'd be the talk of the coffee shop if I started a project like that. So the neighbors downstream would be joking about me having to drain my lake again......
That's why I don't go drink coffee with the local old guys each morning in the Community Center. My absence gives them someone to talk about. Which I'm sure is often.
Over the past two years we've built a new shop and a new house on our farm. Gravel road traffic increased dramatically with all the local noseys.

Yep. I'd wait.
Your neighbors that want/need rain should be paying you royalties for the rains you have caused there this Summer.
LOL Good one.
The pond is finally taking shape now and starting to actually look like it could be a pond. The dam is really close to being at the final waterline height. Probably have 3 feet to go. My chainsaw is in the shop so the remaining 4 or 5 trees inside the waterline will get removed as soon as I get it back.

This thread is great. And the pond is coming together nicely. It's always enjoyable to see a vision take shape. It also inspires a little equipment envy. I hired a guy to do some work with a CTL for me last month and my wife asked "how much does one of those cost?" Unfortunately I had to answer with "too much to sit in the barn most of the time". Kudos to all the participant for keeping this one uncluttered. All the sidebars and tangents have made sense. I'm gonna subscribe and follow along to see it finished..

Equipment envy? Me never, well maybe a little.
