Time to build another pond. Well, past time. Had enough rain today to fill another pond. Today we had 2.5 inches rain with rain forecasts the rest of the week with 60% or greater. I scoped out the perfect spot today when it was pouring. I just have to move a gully over 75 feet or so. Nothing to it but time and fuel $$$$.

Do you have to line your pond with anything or are you digging in clay?

Shoot! Wrap is right, but the barn is upside down. I though it was odd digging down to install the gambrel trusses!

Well, the roof sure as he77 wont leak! Now if the "floor" leaks, that may end up being a 1st post for TBN:laughing:

BTW, wont be officially complete until you have a sitting stool by the doors.

I have good clay. Sometimes I miss a root or old stump and use a little Bentonite clay on the seeps.

Looks like we may get some rain for most of the week. The leading front came through this morning with a little over 3/4* and some more on the way.

Good to see South Central Texas get some much need wetness. Hope there is more to come.
