Yeah!!! I started digging today. I only got the sod out but I feel much better just starting that and being able to see the pond outline. I was suprised that it only took me a little over an hour. There will be freezing rain tomorrow, so I thought I better take advantage of the 65 degree weather!

The measurements are about 15X7 with a little narrower in the middle for a bridge, which I hope will add some shade for fish. I found a better pond calculator for irregular shaped ponds and I think my gallon size will be just right for my filter.

I should of got a picture of my Scottish Terrier marching through the trench that first outlined the pond. I'm pretty sure she thought I was digging for her amusement. She will probably be the foreman of this project. Lord knows she has lots of hole digging experience.
