    Thanks for sharing the work you do. I am disabled and it makes my day to watch you operate the machine. I wish I was able to work again being on a walker and limited on everything. You make my life easier to bear. You and Tim are a blessing. Take care keep up the videos.

    Now if they keep it mowed and clear it out it could be nice. Surprised there are no docks there. Seems like it would be a nice place to have a boat.

    I may have missed an important issue early on in this video series of dredging the lake. Who owns the lake and who is paying to have it dredged.
    Is it possible where the water enters the lake to have settling pond that can be systematically dredged to prevent this much work all at one time?

    • @cookiesservices4552
      @cookiesservices4552 6 лет назад +3
