I thought I’d show you all how the project is coming along. It won’t be too long before winter shuts me down. I have used 45 yards of fill so far, and I’m only about 1/3 done filling. There will be three bridges on this section of the layout. I will continue to take pics as I build the project. Today I will make two canyons that penetrate into the layout. Sept 15 06. This is the first survey. I scalped the ground with my lawnmower and laid out the outside borders.
Sept 17 06. Then laid out a track plan.
Oct 6 06. I then placed the west side retaining wall
Oct 7 06. Finished the west side wall.
Oct 12 06. Closed up the SW corner and started to fill.
Oct 12 06. Started building up “South Possum Peak”. The markers are track plans, and various boulder placements.
Oct 23 06. South Possum Peak is about done. Hopefully the rocks don’t look like I stacked them.
Oct 23 06. Filled along the west wall and started to layout the northern wall and canyon.
Oct 28 06. Started to “mock up” where the north canyon bridge will go. I used some of my bridge footing forms to bring it up to the right height. I did this to see how the bridge will look, and for easement’s, etc.
