Thanks Tom! each dam will contain 2.5 yards and we have 6 of them to make. going to do it in stages, pour a footer for each one, then come in a day or two later and pour the walls. it's going to be an open system with a dirt core. 4' high, span is 13' with a 3' spillway, so pretty small.
+1 on the sweaty feet. I used to think I had cold feet, I wore several socks big thick boots you name it. found out my feet got warm easily, then wet and cold. so now I wear either a thick homemade wool sock in a thin boot, or a thin wool dress sock in a good boot. made a huge difference.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
