Pic of pond with drainage ditch being dug. The Dock will be on the Left side of the pond with dogs jumping left to right (South to North). We are draining it to make sure it is deep enough (5 1/2+ feet) in the landing zone and to make sure there is nothing on the bottom. There has never been any fishing allowed in this pond so there should be nohooks or anything like that. We are also installing a permenant drain and spillway to maintain a permenant water level. The pond will be refilled with fresh well water and checked again for things like Giardia or other pathogens. The pond has been checked before and is always clean. The pond is almost completely drained as of today and hopefully will dry quickly.

Your drive to do that scope of work dancing in this weather is commendable!
That's one hell of a long day, and what a gorgeous background for this place it is. Thank you so much for posting that visual. Great job Mister! Gianna & Dega

Spent the day digging a 3 foot wide trench across the bottom of the pond so that all the water would drain out. Thought I should do that before the rain came. I had to do it by hand (with a shovel) because the bottom of the pond is just too muddy right now for heavy equipment. Boy are my arms and back sore. I have blisters on both hands.
I did learn that the pond has a hard bottom about 1-2 feet under the soft mud. I am thinking that I might be able to work from the edge and remove the soft mud and then dig it down in the jump zone. We are also talking about raising the water level of the pond also to increase depth. Los Angeles Dock |
