I yanked my bushes up today, and you can see the full extent of the

The right front corner isn't even resting on anything. I'm surprised
it hasn't cracked already. I think I can do the whole job tomorrow.
We'll see.

LOL! Looks like the hardest part was getting the bushes out! I hadnt
realized you had that much around it.

Ideas for later after you do the base structure. It looks like a simple
bricked siding applied around it would be a good addition come next year if
you feel like it.
