Here is a before and after from the webcam.

August 31, 2024 seems like a long time ago! Labour Day weekend of that summer I rented the excavator that dug the holes!

Summer heat permitting I'm hoping by this coming Labour Day weekend we'll have grass and paths so the backyard is a little more livable around the water!

Here is a walk around the whole perimeter as it is for now. (sorry for the Youtube link it's too long for my instance.)

This is nearly maximum water, but there are a couple of low points you can see in the pictures attached so once I shore those up, the shallow parts will be a little deeper and the edge will come all the way to the very top of the berms.

I want to dig a large hole and then use the clay-rich soil from that hole for the floor of a large greenhouse/temporary car shelter.
