So here is the picture of what i thought would be the shape of the pond. Because of the slope of the yard i had envisioned a stream coming down the side here with some curves, and after banking to the left a wider stream that would be the beginning of the pond with maybe a foot of water, and then the pond.

In the distance you can see my stone supply. I ended up doubling this amount and using most of the large stone i had stored behind my shed. That was easily six trips a day with a pick-up for a full month to collect that amount of stone. I had to roll/slide the heavy large ones into the pick-up and could only take 4 at a time because of the weight.
