Live in the excavator working on a farm pond!

What happens here

The operator discusses the current progress, mentioning the different soil layers encountered during digging, including straight clay and layers of rock. He re-emphasizes the pond's intended depth of 10 feet and its primary purpose: to provide water for cattle on the newly cleared land. He outlines the next steps, which involve using a skid steer to further smooth the pond's edges and shape the surrounding landscape. He also points out the Case CX210D excavator, noting it's a rental unit from United Rentals and briefly mentions its significant rental cost, highlighting the investment in this type of project.

Goal: Summarize the current status and plan for subsequent construction phases.
