I proudly present to you… my hole:

What a day! My mini digger arrived around 9 AM without instruction, so I spent half an hour watching youtube videos before taking my time to get to know the controls.

I have to say it’s a lot of fun to operate a machine like this, and it gets intuitive after only a few hours. Not to say that I’m very gifted at digging yet, my skills were laughable compared to the delivery guy’s.

In the end, it went pretty well and I excavated roughly 25 cubic meters of soil in 9 hours.
