Secret Weapon and I grabbed a couple of shovels. We hand dug a 12X14 foot rectangle behind the house. Then for good measure, we dug a 26 foot long side walk along my garage.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/16/6emu4ama.jpg

Then we framed it all out.
My granddaughter, Marlie made sure that all of the nails were used up and no piece of scrap lumber was left un-nailed.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/16/esarypad.jpg
Then I went to my older son, Cody's place and got a truckload of creek gravel.

Then back to the house to shovel out the gravelhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/16/py8e6u4a.jpg
Then we smoothed it all out and set some drain line and rebar.

Then 7:00 the next morning the concrete truck showed up.

It's nice to have a couple of sons with strong backs and some construction experience.
