Pretty cool, you Texas boys like your ponds! How long will it take to fill?

Filled by groundwater, surface, pumped? Do you expect that it will stay full all year?

Nice clear looking water so far. When was the work done? If I tried that now it would me a soupy mess.

Dirt work was done in June 05.
Partially filled by groundwater, and runoff, and then kept topped off by well.

I beleived we moved about 16,000 cubic yards of dirt.

I had to build my pad site up about 3ft. to get out of the 100 yr. flood plain. Didn't want it to look funny so I built a huge gradual pad site.
