Hope you guys are not too bored with pond pictures by now. Anyway today is a big day. We lay the tile in for the main drain and raise the center of the dam (the section that washed out during some past rain event). The center needs to come up about a foot across the center. The mini excavator was dropped off last night and I had a chance to get use to the controls as I worked in the barrow pit. After today the pond project will come to a close.

You would surprised how cheap it was to rent. I checked around at rental cost, most wanted 300 dollars for 24 hrs but you could run it only for 8 hrs plus 50 insurance and delivery and pick up between 150-200. Wow very costly but true value rented it to me for 210 for a full 24 with delivery and they took a certificate of insurance from my home owners agent. So the cost was about 1/3.
