Without having the ability to see the extent of the complexity of the 
job, I'd have to vote for idiot.

By the time you keep the equipment running long enough to actually use, 
level- gouge- re-level- gouge some more, this side is high, oh no - that 
side is high, why won't this compact correctly, oh no -that side is low 
now, damn - it's high in the center, oh no - it's low in the center, 
shoot I need more rock, damn I have too much rock.... you will be 3 
weeks into the project and still not done.

Or, you could hire an experienced operator, a few dumptruck loads of 
Gravel, and they could knock it out  in day or less. Maybe have it down 
by the time you got home from work.

Of course then there is next year during the rainy season... damn why is 
that water puddling like that, I thought I had it graded and drained 
properly...

Good luck!
