Ok, it's time!

*DOUGHBOY UPDATE* (Doughboy Theme Song)

Well, he rolled out of the house about 3pm whereabouts he and his buddies proceeded to drink a lot of beer, pour cement down the center of the cinderblocks and make fun of my garden... the jerk.

For the record, here's a pic (if you open it in another window it'll be full size):

1. To the left of the number one is the pile of gravel he wrasteled, above and to the left is the large piece of lumber that has been laying about in various locations since we moved in. There is also a trench dug at the uphill edge of the gravel pile. This is where I believe the front of the shed will be.

2. This is either a spare block or a footer at the midpoint of the shed. This is also about where the silt fence used to be. It's only supposed to come down once a good lawn has been established. The dark streak to the right is the trench/pile of dirt where he ripped his out of the ground. This area is the lowest point in his yard where all of his runoff runs into our yard.

3. This is the shovel that he keeps lying about.

4. The magic footer. It is seven blocks high. The hole in the ground is about 12 inches deep (1.5 blocks' worth). No rebar in the middle of the stack and no footer underneath- just a shovel full of stolen gravel. No mortar either, just some quickset mixed with some stolen gravel down the middle. There are three other footers like this, only not as tall. A second one can be seen by #3, the other two are out of the view to the left. Yes, it is leaning- tho this is exaggerated slightly by the zoom lens on the camera.

5. This is the fancy-shmancy sight level used to level everything. Bwahahaaaaaa.

I'm gonna call the county again tomorrow- just fer making fun of my garden. Grrr

I love the numbered pic! and them garden boxes will work out well!

Have you seen deer around the yard? I think if your dogs are ever out at night and heard barking, they may not come around. Are you gonna fence the yard?
