Drainage is almost done, Irrigation is next!

The 3,750 linear feet of 4 inch drain pipe installation is nearing completing, and now it is time for the irrigation contractor to step in and put the sprinklers in the ground.  This will take a few days to complete, and might be pushed to the weekend if we get heavy rains tonight like the weather channel claims.  The rains however will not stop the dredging crew, as we have eclipsed the 13,000 yard mark, and are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!  I still firmly believe within 2 more weeks we will be completely finished dredging the pond on #3.  Fingers Crossed!  The course has dried out and work is starting to be much more productive.  Here are some pictures of the Range Tee being drained.......


Can you tell the difference in these 2 pictures?  I was trying to show the difference in the material at the bottom of the lake currently, and also after it has been dredged.  Pictures are hard to portray how much material is actually being removed from the lake.  Before being dredged this area of the lake was only 6-18 inches deep when full, after it has been excavated it will be 4-6 feet when the lake is at full level!  The new fish are going to love all this new space and water, and so is the golf course!
