Level area

This area was tricky to build, and I spent a lot of time figuring out where this unit should be placed. The ledge was a problem, I wanted it to be more to the west, but because of the ledge, and the new slope I would be creating by bringing in fill I was forced to locate the greenhouse where you see it. I'll bring something like 130 to 150 yards of fill. My little dump truck only holds about 3.5 yards so this is very time consuming. If you look at the picture closely, you can see the nearest post and footing is buried a good bit and that the reference string going from post to post shows the ground getting more level. I set the bench mark with a laser, so those strings are good and level and will be my reference throughout.
