Full load:
The Black section is liner, that needs to be covered with rocks:

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

My wife feeling the heat...
" I like this one, can we take it? Please???"
"It's so nice..."
"I got my side, go grab the other!"

The pond is lookin good. Nice to see someone totin around some little stones.
The house in the background look nice as well, great setting. Thanks for the pics.
Wow, you moved all those rocks that way?
lol. yep.
160 loads so far, over the last 4 years. With the exception of 7 large ones I used equipment on; every other rock, and sand, has come in in the back of my toyota(s). Hand selected, hand loaded, hand unloaded and hand placed.
With the 'improvements' done to the truck, I haul about 2000 pounds (1 ton) per trip. (I've scaled up to 2500+, but try to keep the weight down to around 2000. That also keeps the front tires on the ground)
I figure another 5 tons ought to do it. Then I'll have some free time to start working on my big pond project

Wow, you are the man. I don't know if I could have stuck with that.
Nothing like a little project to keep you busy on your weekends........... What are the dimensions going to be when you are done? Have you decided what fish you are going to be putting in the pond? er lake.
dimensions at waterline are 100' x 70' (ish) with a max depth of 18'
I have 200 Rainbow trout in there currently. I put them in as fingerlings this spring, and they are currently between 6-8"
Another month, and it'll be time to start hooking them for the fry-pan/freezer
