My professor told me to always check the local bedrock before digging a pond

He said, 'The map says sandstone, but go look at the creek bank first,' and I'm so glad I did. I was planning a small pond on my property near Lexington, Kentucky, and a quick walk showed fractured limestone everywhere, not solid sandstone. That would have leaked like a sieve. Anyone else have a story about a geology tip that saved a project?

Guess my pond would've just been a really deep puddle.

My buddy almost built his deck on pure clay till a neighbor warned him about the seasonal shift.
