Rented a little excavator to dig a pond and fix a few other issues around the house. Finally am developing the muscle memory to feel as if I’m actually using it properly and have to give it back tomorrow.

You don't have to give it back...

    You started digging and just kept going I guess.

    Sic. What's the make? And is it going to be a koi pond? 🐟

    Bobcat E35. It’s more comfortable inside this than my house as my house doesn’t have AC but this thing does 😆 Initially it’s going to be goldfish but we’ll add koi once it’s established. We “inherited” the goldfish a few years ago from my wife’s elementary school classroom. We have a small garden pond already but it’s shallow and freezes solid every winter so we bring them inside late fall; but they’ve outgrown their indoor aquarium so they’re going to have to be able to stay outside all year henceforth.

    I keep trying to come up with a project that would justify renting one for a weekend. I just want to get to operate one.

    If you can get something done with just a regular bobcat (skidsteer), I heavily recommend it. They are cheaper to rent and incredibly fun.

    That garden looks great! Good luck with the pond.

    Is it as much fun as I'm imagining?
