A's marry Z's... it is wonderful and fustrating all at the same time. I wanted flower beds around a tree in the backyard. I finally decided to make it after waiting several years.... So while he was at work on a rig (gone for weeks at a time) I brought the concrete stones home and built it. Questions were, did I find the radius around the tree? Is it level? I told him it looked round and I went for the illusion of level! I mean, after a couple of years, the plants will be over growing the sides and no one will ever go out there with a string to see if the radius was even all the way around.... well, almost no one.
