The worst corner on mine has dropped almost 2 inches.

I love this guy, and I love cats, and I'm glad he has nice housing, but it would be a tall order to live with him.I've known several people less well through my friends in the itinerate rock climbing community and my work in community colleges who received section 8 assistance because their social and emotional disabilities were significant enough to make full-time, ongoing employment untenable.  

Since then  weeds are growing through the so called "3 inch thick" surface. 

I know in advance, that this may be a tall request and many/some will not want to chime in, but I think it would do a good service to really start addressing the expectations that are flowing in the background and help put some light on realistic approaches and ideas to some of the core reasons folks consider jumping it, do jump in or stay away from investing in whole loans/notes.  

In NJ our personal insurance company required us to pour a concrete pad with 6 inch risers on the side to contain oil if it spilled that was 10 years ago.

The existing fence looks to be 8 ft tall.

If I don't flush them out, leaves and sticks start to get trapped in there from the 20' tall Italian Cypress trees along the side of my house.

@Jeff JamiesonConsider checking out several of the display sections in the stores the people there should have some good ideas.They will be able to use software to show you what it will look like before you buy.Driving around town you can see houses that it is clear the color was chosen from a 2 inch sample.

In fact, my neighbor's drain line runs less than one inch from the one that is leaking, and both runs towards the same stack.

The cross beams are being held up with about a 5' tall cut out of a tree.
