Thanks Dan.
We bought 6 acres in a more rural setting so we could build a small retirement cabin-ish styled home so I can finally retire. Wouldn't you know it, the spot where we intend to put our cabin is kinda low and needs to be built up some. Luckily, I have plenty of room to dig a storm basin of sorts and use that compactable sand to build up that area. I'm a do it yourself nut. I have already tried this modified pond scoop in that soil, and it digs surprisingly well. Before I made this mod, I would never have believed I could dig and transport any real quanity of soil with just the scoop. I'm laying out the basin lines now and am going to start digging in one or two days. I'll take pics of the progress.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Ron
