Now just wait a minute… Didn’t Ol’ Rooster tell us long ago about an outhouse pit in his back yard dating back many moons? Why not just remove the concrete slab covering it and fill 'er up ?

I would love too Jon...it's 27' deep and could hold trout year round with proper aeration. If I removed the slab I would have to throw a ladder down the hole and privy dive first! That hole has been there since 1852.

Sorry to drag this all but forgotten thread back to the surface, but since this all ties in, here we go again. The pond was put in with the lumber mill in mind. The mill building itself is all but completed, it just needs some interior details. Which brings us to the log unloading area.

The mill itself goes in the bare spot behind Russels and to the right of the track laying there.

This is all temporary for now to see if it all fits.

Welllllllllllllll, I haven’t gotten that far yet. So to better explain it, I’ll show the track plan.

Since this is a bit different then what is actually there, the plan is to add a “Y” and have one leg of the wye as a lead to a lumber camp at the top of the flower bed. How that track arrangement will eventually turn out, I haven’t decided yet. That’s a pretty steep grade from bottom to top, so it may involve a switchback or 2…:wink:
