Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Mario if you build a trestle over your hopper so the train can dump into it ,and then a track under the conveyer to catch the fine dirt and of it goes to Toronto by train and you could sell your trucks and you would have lots of money ��.just my thought Mike

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Hmmmm, I'm still thinking baby steps Mike.
  Speaking of steps, there was 3 operators in the backyard a few days ago. First time ever! Of course I was caught up in the fun thinking " I should video this moment " but never did. Fortunately my wonderful wife took a quick vid of the action. The young guy is her son visiting from Alberta and Goose19 is running the dozer. We layed a surprising amount of dirt in a couple hours and turned out great!  https://video-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hv...06&oe=5571B1C8

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Looks like fun Mario!! The only time I was around others with these "toys" was cabin fever, I too wanted to take pics and video but totally forgot about it from enjoying everyone else around. I don't know when the last time I had a smile for two full days!! It's always fun to have others join in the fun!!
Boy that tilled garden dirt looks good,,, I'd be smiling but you would probably be taking my operators privileges away for a bit!!! And I would be sending you some fresh vegetables in fall!! Lol!!!

the last time I smiled for two days I was eating funny mushrooms I know exactly how you felt at your first show. I had the same experience when I went to Indy. Awestruck for 3 days! The garden is Susans domain. I just till it, haul the soil in. Not the greatest growing season so far. Still had bad frost just a few days ago  everything is slow to start and that sucks when your trying to grow " vegetables " in a short season. Quote:
It's hard not to get rid of the shingles. I would like a nice hard packed gravel road someday but shingles are so cheap to use and non permanent. If you don't like where they are or need to move is no problem. i lost track of how many bundles I have. I think about 6 or 7. I go to the lumber yard and buy the damaged bundles or ones not in the package wrap ( bargain bin ). Why pay top dollar if they ain't going on a roof?

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
ThanksTerry. i wish you guys were closer too! It's fun to run RC's but there's nothing like running as a group and the whole area comes to life
Speaking of coming to life. I finally got around to building the second conveyor I need. Thanks again for the belt RW. It works great! This one went together real quick. Same set up as the last conveyor or as Reg calls it, the hippy conveyor. wooden beads and metal washers for rollers , 1/8 X 1" flat bar, 1/4" threaded rod for structure. Flanged bearings, bevel gears and motor from servo city as a drive and voila another Canadian red neck conveyor!     And a video of it in action....... http://youtu.be/pXWA3WwS4WE

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Well, I got a chance to put some lipstick and makeup on the second conveyor. I'm real happy with the results and this will fit into my backyard perfectly. Nothing fancy but works.
        And here is where the conveyor is going. Next I need to build a chute to direct the dirt onto the belt from the truck dumping platform. The angle in the pic is not right yet, too steep I think.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
Looks like S&M is going to host the first ever RC meet in the backyard park!
Just got back from a great time spent with my buddies from scale builders RC club Ontario. Turns out a few of them have the time and want to come up to my place and run in the backyard park!  So time for me to gear up and get things ready for them and make sure it's worth the trip! Here's a video tour of the plan and 4 weeks to get as much done as I can. Ideas , suggestions always welcome http://youtu.be/dwW6UAm4Iu4

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
I've come to realize there is another reason it is important I attend RC shows. It inspires and motivates me to " get stuff done! ". Once again, as soon as I get home I go into full swing working in the yard.
I'm no master carpenter and not using high quality finished wood but I think it captures the moment and theme I'm going for.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!

Im also thinking CAT fuel is of a better quality than the others can provide LOL cheers andy
