Well monday came, and the first truck arrived. Takes an average of 1 1/2 hours to get the trucks down the road to the house, go past the house to the next intersection, turn around, then back to the drive, where they have to back up the hill to the pond. They dumped the clay on top of the dam, the only flat spot to dump it on. we then took the skid steer and spread it out on the floor and sides of the pond. In the photo, I am putting the first coat of dirt back over the clay, about 6 inches of dirt. This is packed in and rolled hard.

Kinda funny, here it is, tuesday night. the third truck went missing all day monday, and part of today. It seems the driver had a need that needed to be fixed? Anyway, what should have been here monday will be here on wednesday AM. Will take some photos of that being unloaded on the dam.

After that, we will be able to finish the rest of the pond by tomorrow night, and start filling it then.
