Looking great. You are almost a full fledged pond owner. Then the management comes in.
hugs, Brandi

Awesome high aerial shot, you have an awesome property. But where is your barn!?! Surely all this awesome equipment doesn't live outside. Do I see it tucked into the woods just down and to the right of your house?

Unfortunately there is no barn yet. House was built about 6 years ago and ended up over budget. We then remodeled our building on another property as a wedding venue (that thread is here https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/rural-living/384212-timber-frame-build-round-2-a.html?highlight= ) and that also ended up over budget so a barn just hasn't been in the plans yet. Right now I'm using a shipping container for the loader and tractor.

Was able to install the pipe on the water side of the dam today. Back to moving dirt on the dam tomorrow to try to wrap the dam up. After that it's fish habitat and cutting some level walking/sitting paths above the waterline.

This and a few other of your recent pictures really put into perspective how big the pond is going to be. What you are building is pretty impressive!

It's been a lot of dirt to move with a track loader. Was originally planning a small watering hole and didn't plan for something big enough for fish. If I did another I would probably rent a dozer and learn how to run it.
