The WALL has started. The first step was deciding what we wanted..... and then came the WORK! The first step was marking out where the final wall would reside. Then the hole was dug with a trencher and a pick and shovel when necessary. Then the gravel and rebar were placed in the hole. After that was done, the concrete was poured. 
We got our concrete from a local building supply company already mixed and in the truck. This was a great time saving step, but we needed more concrete than we estimated. Since we needed more, we went back to pick up another yard and was hit with extra fines since they do not stop the clock over. Beware!
I do not think this wall is going anywhere after seeing what it is being built on!!! The trench was two wall thicknesses wide and deeper than I expected. about 16 inches. The mason believes in starting the wall a brick or two below grade so that the foundation will never be seen. This will help me be able to plant close to the wall. The next step will have visible results!
