Well, there's been a little more progress than this but its the most recent photo I have. These sandbags will hold the road base (sand, clay and limestone) in place when we fill in the middle of each "island" and keep it from falling into the beams. They'll have to be stacked to make the pad level (to grade). After that I'll cover each "island" with plastic and place rebar in the beams, then cover everything with concrete.
Here I've hired a service to clean out the pond. Lonnie and I had partially drained it. They're pushing some of the mud out through the channel we dug and the rest is being scooped out by the track-hoe. Big machines, huh? If you recall earlier pictures of the pond, it was all silted in and really nasty.
Another view. Shows the technical difficulty of this job.
Nearly there.....
Ta-da!! Actually they went back and made it deeper than this... to about 10-12 feet in the middle.
Can't wait for the rain to fill it back up!
