Sometime in April I had completed enough research into the zoning and setback requirements to make some drawings and layout the proposed placement of the spa.
I submitted plans to L.A. County in the first of 3 steps to get a permit to build the spa.
I had to dig out the St. Augustine grass before I could even start digging the hole. I cut it with a flat-nosed shovel, pulled each piece out and turned it over so it would dry out so I could knock the dirt off and throw away the grass.
April 17th I started digging and found out just how nasty it can get throwing dirt around. I started wearing a mask and quickly went to a handkerchief over my nose and mouth. I remember thinking that the hole did not seem to be getting any bigger! I used what I thought was a lot of dirt for the tortoise planter, and then I started to realize that there was much more dirt to come out. Where was I going to put it?
