comment Is creating a concrete driveway a diy?
If you want an idea of the kind of work involved in removing that amount of earth, take a look at my blog post which will eventually go up on DIY.SE's blog - giamban.co/patio.php I haven't even started on the patio yet; still working on leveling and building forms for the planting beds. Not to demotivate you; just to give you an idea. I'm doing it with just hand tools also - no Skid Steer or excavators.

comment How do I build a form and pour a concrete pad?
Point taken and understood - but neither of these 2 installations require much engineering. Neither pad will experience much movement on the surface and neither are bearing much weight (compared to a house or car being on top of it). Should I have used a bonding agent? I could have; but knowing how much the condensor weights and what the pad would be used for, it wasn't a big deal IMO.
