RCP Compound

To help with shipping costs I can get you one of those mannequins that are folded up and all you have to do is inflate them. Don't know if it would look like Mario but I'm pretty sure it would look happy to be there!!

HAHAHAHA! I think I've seen one of those before at someones stag party. They always look so surprised yet happy

I've been messing around the last couple of afternoons adding some more stuff. I collected up several small trailer loads of rock using our ATV from around the place to build a rock wall. I am hoping to finish this to look like a creek runs between the "mountains" so a lot more work is needed but it's coming along. Up top I started to rough in the grade but only made it a little ways before I had spent a couple of batteries in the Volvo. I also added another bridge and graveled about 5 more feet of the original road. Since Mario is holding down the title for "best RC worksite in eastern Canada" I'm trying to take the title out west. The weather is supposed to get crappy again tomorrow for a few days so construction will slow.

It better freaking NOT look like me!

Your career opportunities continue to grow Reg! A fisherman, master of metal n fab , and a pretty darn good landscaper by the looks of it! . Seriously, not bustin chops, the compound looks great!

Best in eastern Canada? . I don't know about that but thanks for the thumbs up. Best in the east is already jealous of your site and all the space and potential it has...... No winter is the real bonus for sure.

Yeah that type of doll should never look like any man as far as I'm concerned...

My aunt and uncle are landscapers. I've worked for them a couple of times on big turf jobs where they need people with a strong back and very little brains. I don't mind laying turf because if you bust a$$ you can see it come together fast. Weeding flower beds, not so much!lol I'll stick to the first two on your list... Oh, and cutting firewood! I like that as well

No prob! You're my inspiration with lots of this stuff. I don't have any plans for any on highway type things like the loading dock you have but I hope to create a good network of gravel roads. The tough part is having enough dirt to build hills and contours when you start out with flat ground. Another problem is making it all large enough to run my 850 Kenworth on it. That truck is a beast and requires a ton of space.

My wife ran the Mack truck yesterday afternoon for a bit and I ran the Hayes. It was cool to have her help out and to see two trucks sharing the road! The weather is supposed to get nasty here for the weekend so hopefully what I have made so far will get packed down by the rain and not wash out!

A couple of shots from yesterday afternoon. I made a little more progress with the hoe and was finally able to get the Euc onto the road to haul away overburden down into the treed area.
