Today we had an interesting turn of events with the yard. The masons came and put in the form for the driveway and the sidewalk. Which is great and good and everything looks to be where I wanted it. The issue comes in now I have a bunch of gravel that I need a place for. What I should have did is just have him keep it in a pile until I can figure out what to do with it. But of course nothing like that comes to mind when they have a Bobcat and are willing to put it where I need it. Which of course I had no clue. So like the idiot I am I had them put it exactly where I wanted to put my vegetable garden behind the garage. Yes the same place I have been slowly working on moving a pile of dirt and which I need to finish before working on the pond. So now there is a 6 ft by 30ft by 6in deep pile of gravel with about 2 inches of black dirt/ gravel mix on the top of that. Setting where wanted to put a 4ft by 30ft raised garden in. So i looks like I am not going to get that raised garden in after all. To top it off, in the process of moving that to the back of the garage the whole entire north side of my yawn is a mud pit. And a very uneven one to top it off. I really can not blame the masons, since they did exactly what I asked. Just wish they would have offered to take it way seeing as i really didn't have a place or a need for it.
Needless to say I am complete lost in what to do next. Most if not all my plans are completely down the drain. The only good thing is that I have a new garage and eventually a new driveway. I just need to wait for a nice couple days so they can pour the concrete.
Here are some picures of the concrete forms.
Here is the gravel bed and yard mess that I get to figure out how to deal with.
