    Well it’s been a fun ride helping with this project. I think this is the 5th or 6th project I have helped on . And this one has been the best one so far . A lot of dirt hauled for sure. Hated to see the last load dumped . I think some nights I think I have dreamed about hauling dirt . A lot of hours in the drivers seat of the truck . And loved every minute of it . Just will have to wait for the next one

    Congrats on getting it all dug out. 40,000,000 lbs of dirt. Whoo! I know Geoff will show the pond full, I hope you do too. Over a year ago when talking about this project in the middle of dense woods, it seemed like a dream. Well, sir, you made that dream a reality. & thanks to Todd, Robert, Tim, Clay for their able assistance. Look forward to the finishing process. A hearty Well Done to you!
