Pond, Day 10

Ivan made it back after a week or so and fixed the trackhoe and began working on my pond again yesterday.  They worked for about 2 hours maybe. Below is some video of them working.  If you look, there's an odd little protrusion of land in the middle of the pond and I'm very curious how he's going to navigate removing it.  If you look at the video, you can see that he digs down and swings around with a bucket of dirt that he lays out for the dozer to push.  He's pulling the dirt further in from the sides of the protruding land.  When he gets to the point of that land, he may have some trouble.  That strip of land is too narrow now for the dozer to pull along side it and it's too long to put it behind the trackhoe without boxing himself in.  I guess he could dig some and put it behind him, then spread it so he can then drive over it, and finally move the same dirt further back so the dozer can finally get to it.  But, that seems like a LOT of wasted time.  We'll see how he does it.  Ah, building my pond has finally begun again.  It's been one month and Ivan had estimated 1 week.
