    TERRIFIC job, guys! As I was watching you "tweak" the form boards and getting "close," it reminded me of a phrase my oral surgeon told me this past week as I had some significant surgery performed. He talked about the "LAR effect" -- "Looks About Right" -- ha! So, when you got things "close," you achieved the LAR effect! Praying for a problem-free process as you move forward with this important structure, Al (and consultant Gina)!!

    Electric fencing does not stop bears, they just go through it. Bear fencing has to be over 8 feet tall and heavy duty. A family friend raised bears as pets as fell for the circus in Oklahoma, and another friend who lives in Alaska has bears raiding her garden and she said no electric fence has ever stopped a bear from getting into her garden. She said the only thing that works is bear repellent, applied daily and nightly.
    Don’t put false hope in the electric fencing netting you are using.

      @raymondheckard234 ,
      It may be that a bear's fur is so thick that it does not even receive a shock. You need to touch an electric fence with bare skin ( no pun intended ) AND be grounded at the same time for an electric fence to work. Electric fences work well with cattle because they will usually touch a fence with their noses and they are grounded.

    I agree you need more stakes, better to many than not enough, and then bank up the outside perimeter with the sand to help the boards stay in place, you don't want those boards to bulge outwards when you pour the concrete, getting this right is most important as its going to be quite a big pour.

If the bears are eating some fish Al and Gina will see fish carcases around and near the pond. I am afraid of bears too but we must learn to live with nature. If bears are stopped from coming around the pond they could start coming closer to the farm animals for dinner or the house. It's maybe best to share the ponds 🤔🤷
