Pond and pad construction

[phantom309]

Wow, the picture with the dozer looks like you are right on the water? Is that the gulf? Lake Pontchartrain?
Where is that map of mine?

No wonder you're hitting water so soon!

Looks very pretty. Betcha get some big 'skeeters there! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It's the 100 square mile Calcasieu lake.
BTW I got to play with the new Hyundai track hoe for a little while today. Man it is some thing to be able to dig out and scoop up almost 2 cubic yards of dirt in seconds. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I wonder how long it will take a guy with a shovel to move the 10,000+ yd3 of dirt that will be moved in my project.

The pond is now much bigger. The pad is 1/3 built and 350ft of driveway is done.

Here's a pic of the construction site. Halfway there. Project to be done by this coming Sunday.

Digging is nearly done on south part of pond. Now we are digging north part of pond.

Now we are building the road around the pond.

Constructing south side of pad. At 6ft above elevation, we are moving a whole lotta dirt.

Working til the sun don't shine!

Sun is down, work has stopped. Time to do some fishing.
