    Chris dredging a pond along with clearing the dams and taking out a Beaver damn.
    What could be more entertaining than that ?
    That mud will be perfect for the property owner to spread in his yard over any spots that grass isn't growing in.
    Or any area he's using as pasture or to grow hay.

I believe that is really one of your main tools , when it comes to working on the pond jobs. It can get 2-3 different things done at one time , and really keeps ya moving on a lot faster on the job, and not have to come back to it !! Well, off to a great start, will really start to shape up pretty quick , i'm guessing !! Always does...lolol... Great as Always !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !! Yeah Man, that hurricane is getting Bigger all the time as we speak !! Looking like the "Low" is going to settle right over us here in Western Ky. in the next day or so !! looking like we are going to get 4-5 in. of rain out of this one, may be more ?? hard to tell just yet but, it is coming for a lot of us !!
