Wow, what a day!!!
I am so so sore!
Went outside at 9:30 am this morning. Spent until 12 noon trying to get that darn pad level.
Geez, between the dang cat jumping up on my back all the time while I was bending down to use a board to level and the rain and wind.................................my back and legs are so sore...................................

Using a 2 x 4 both a 4' piece and an 8' piece, I finally got it leveled and tamped down (ended up tamping it down and realized it wasn't very leveled, so had to tamp it again at the end). My fingers are so sore from hanging onto the boards. Small hands don't work!

I don't think you can see in the picture but along the white fence, I put pieces of cedar fencing on the bottom to use for a guide for a straight line. But dumb me. I should have put it down/in before I hauled the sand in. So had to dig a trench for the cedar fencing pieces. They are only like 1/2" wide but............what a pain in the neck.
Then I should have done the ends too with the cedar pieces before hauling sand. Learned a lesson. Do the things right the first time, LOL

I was going to stake in the cedar boards but just ended up using sand behind them. I am thinking of removing the end cedar boards later tho so I can walk thru better.
I did the 3'-4'-5' measurement and it came out pretty good, I think.
