Place, tamp, and finish cement.
Dig a footer 6" wide x 5" deep x 35' long on each side of concrete slab.
Pour cement in footer.
Install 3/8" rebar 32" apart down center of footer.
Once concrete cures, remove forms.

Apply stucco over entire surface of both block walls.
Install a 5' x 5' square of random size flagstone in the center of the concrete slab. Border the flagstone with a row of 6" x 12" white pavers.
