I don't think my website is going to be very helpful, but it does have
pics of several stages of building the pond.

The lining doesn't get its creases out; the water pressure flattens them
and algae covers the whole thing, so you won't be aware of them.

I hope things start working out smoothly for you.

Use a line level, which can be had at any hardware store. Run a line across the
hole. Level it. Then measure down from the line to where you need to dig.
When the measurements match across the bottom, you are level, or at least level
enough.
