Don't think I can change the thread title so for now Lake Corona it is. Finally had a day without interruption and spent several hours working today. The backside of the dam area is all cleaned up. Forgot to take any pics of it but the swamp is gone and only have 1 large tree left to remove. Started building up the dam. It's at about 5-6 feet now. Will probably build up a couple more feet tomorrow and get some temporary overflow pipes in. I have a couple of 8" x 20 ft drain tile unused at my shop. Will probably put both in and then wait for rain to get an idea of how much runoff this area has and how the soil holds.

If you want the thread title changed, say the word and it can be done. Not a big deal.

Hey jk, is Lake Corona on the same property as your beautiful event venue you built? If so, how close? I think someone already suggested a drone aerial view capture. That would be cool! And something you could frame and hang somewhere.

It is actually a few miles away from the venue where our home is located. Will try to get the drone out. Calling for rain here Saturday into Sunday so trying to get as much as I can done now while things are dry.
