Clay is nasty stuff, but will make for a great pond liner. -It's just endless buckets (big buckets) of slop. Almost pulled my boots off my feet when I stepped down from the machine. All over the kids feet....friggin' dog is running through it. I'm drinking tonight.

You place looks great Gut.

Laughing heartily at the grand picture of a good old New England clay mud bath for everyone. I think it's almost impossible to go anywhere this time of year in Northern New England without getting clay on you or your vehicle. It is a great pond liner though. There's a guy not far from my property in VT that has a series of small ponds stepping down a hill. A spring feeds into the first one, down to the next, and on and on. Each pond is about 10x20 or so. Really nice.

yep- clay is a nightmare for sure- It got to a point where I was so frustrated at fighting with the back hoe that I ended up just using a shovel for a lot of it. Makes such a mess, I hate the film it leaves on my skin and even using a power washer to clean equipment takes for ever! But it does hold water nicely!

Come on, an X-Marine and you talk about your skin having a little film on it, I never even heard a BAM talk that way!!! Take that power washer and let Jan clean you off.
You know this is just a joke, please don't come after me.
