    busting the pond dam on the 2 acre pond to fill some of the 9 acre pond and allow me to get dirt from that old pond dam

    I had never considered the fact that as much as the dam holds the water back the water pressure can also hold the dam face in place until you mentioned and showed it from the old dam. By far and away one of the best busting videos I have seen to date, that’s going be a gorgeous pond sight in the years to come once everything heals and grows, a most excellent job Chris, I am really enjoying this series.

      There is quite a bit of science behind the different types of dams. I'm not an expert, I did read up on it some. A core dam like what Chris is building now, has an impermeable wall built in the middle with the other materials on the front and back, the front face or water side needs to have a longer sloop with the weight of the water pressing down helps hold the dam in place. If the front sloop is too steep, then the weight of the water will actually push the dam out of the way. It has been many years since I read that information, and there may be holes in my memory.

      Hey, Matt Chris only thinks about the job that he does. He wants everything to be done the correct way and the safest way where no one gets hurt and there is no danger of anyone or anything get hurt. I don't know what you're trying to say, but it's his reputation at risk, so he should be thinking of himself and his business. But safety comes first, and then the beautiful landscapeing, which he does all of perfectly, so to that, i say Chris, give yourself a big pat on your back you are doing a fantastic job today and everyday. God bless you, Chris, and please be careful out there and be safe. 😅
