Disaster averted about 2 am! As I casually walked my recycling to the curb last night, I heard a cracking and popping sound coming from my low corner. Upon further investigation, I noticed that in our haste to fill, we had neglected to drive 4 support stakes in the low corner. So, at 2AM last night I proceed to attempt to push my wall back into place against 26' of water. I was able to get 3" back, but could not get it the full 6" with just my self. Holding the boards back with my foot, I drove four stakes at the base of the bulged boards and will continue to fill the last four inches after this is locked up! Pics to come soon! Whew, the excitement of near disaster....

This is where I had my problem. Fortunately, all has worked out. I still have to put in my 5" panels boards above the ice and then I will trim out the excess liner. If I was really ambitious, I would even paint them yellow, maybe next year!
