The rail road contractor is suppose to dig and hall the dirt away but they just want clay. So we are cleaning out the silt on the south end of the lake they are digging the north 600' of the lake for the dirt. and I got to finish digging and do final grades. I still will need to move around 100,000 yards of dirt myself to make everything work.

we have Calculated if the weather would stay clear and have good conditions it would take 50 to 60 8hrs days to dig the lake. We have log in about 15 true 8 hr days so far but the biggest problem is we dig for two days than it rains and than we spend 4 to 6 hour cleaning up the mess the rain makes and get to dig for another day or two. I know I could make real progress if I can work at least a week straight. (I get 3 weeks vacation form my regular job but this summer and fall I could not string more the 3 days off to dig mainly because of weather.
