My gosh, you have the longest file names in history. I don’t think I ever seen so many spaces. Now you need some shade! And a cold one or two.

Bruce, we are trying for some shade, but growing trees from bare roots takes time… But, they are growing well and another century or two, we’ll have shade…

Have 2 skids of rock and 1 skid of tumbled brick being delivered today… The rock will go around the raised area at Woodlawn, and the tumbled bricks are for making steps to get up and down the walls…

So much to do, so little time…

Hehe. It’s like the comment I got the other day about being retired: ’ what happened to all this supposed free time I am supposed to have now’

I’m looking forward to seeing this in person!

I agree. That is a lot of progress in just a few days. I’m starting to feel like a slacker =( Ralph

Andy just in case it take a little too long to get those shade trees up to useful, you might think about one of those shade tents people are using. I’d lend you my screenroom but it’s getting harder and harder to get it unbolted.

DavidM, appreciate the offer... We went out and bought one of those square ""pop-up"" canopys the other day.... We also have a rectangular canopy in a box, in the basement, I keep tripping over it....

But I do appreciate the offer… :slight_smile: thank you…

You hurt my feelings!
Now wire me money dad!

Dang, son, another 2 cents??? What do you do with all this money???? Can't you see, I'm trying to build a railroad here??????

Andy, If your running short I’ve still got his piggy bank here so I 'll just lend him your two cents :smiley:

Fine…I’m going to bed!

DavidM :slight_smile: thanks :slight_smile:

Andy
My dogs are waiting for the trees to get to a useful size.

I’m looking forward to see it as well and if it is ok will bring old number 12 along.

Geoff, bring anything… :slight_smile:

Andy can make fast work of the final plan, its that preparation time that takes so long. Jane and Andy work like crazy on the prep and I come in and help for a couple of hours with some of the final work. It is so easy compared to what they do. Now they are talking about more retaining walls and starting other sections for more advancement upon that soybean field.

Looks good, Andy. That rock in the dry creek really sets it off.

Good as I think that is where we get to see his waterfront skidrow area with the scale NYC skyline.

The rock shows up when Jane is away and he convince her he digs it out of the ground.
