Pretty much ready for the driveway work!
I worked for about 3 hours on the side yard to cap the drainage pipe underground, remove river rock from the hole up to where the path starts, fill the hole with dirt using a board to create a barrier between the river rock and the dirt, created sloping to the fence, created a small brick paved area for garbage containers, and stowed the rest of the pathway bricks which won't be needed now.
To do:
[] keep shaping the slope all the way to the tetherball court, moving excess dirt to Byron Hill
[] roll out the 2 remaining concrete post supports out of the FZ.
[] weed the area around the heat exchanger base
[] haul dirt to Byron Hill
[] continue to shape the tetherball court and extend the walkway (at this point may slope upwards)
[] remove dirt so the platform of the heat exchanger is level
[] run the walkway along side the platform
[] prepare the new location for the wood
[] move the wood
[] prepare the new location for the little tree and the apple tree
[] transplant irises buried in Byron Hill
[] prepare the new irises location
[] transplant irises at tangent for the tetherball court
[] connect the walkway to the back driveway
[] prepare planting areas
[] dig post holes, add posts, add gate, add rails, complete fence corner.
[] complete transition between driveway and walkway at the rainbarrel.
[] do permanent walkway in front, connecting to driveway.
[] do permanent retaining wall drainage.
[] do retaining wall,cut end pieces, cut and glue caps.
[] finish all landscaping
[] transplant small tree
[] buy and plant apple tree
[] new posts and fence to 2 feet short of sidewalk, paint
[] add sidewalk fence and connect 2 feet to post
[] create gate
[] add lighting to walkway
[] terminate with library box and lighted top
