Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou. I can't believe how fast you build. I thought that this was just starting, and from the looks of it you'll be loading logs soon. The build looks great, but wait! what the heck are you drinking, I though everyone in town drank Lucky. Isn't your town the Luckiest town in Canada!!!!!

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
The way you and Greg build equipment, next year there should no one on the dole in town. Between the two of you there's enough equ. to keep about ten crews busy. The Grapple is a big bruiser and your right it will take the Moose and a half to carry that thing around. LOL.

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou, That was a good idea with that long butt painted to look like a beer can, gives a good reference for size. If you guys plan on having a gathering of model builders there on the Island and you allow "foreigners", I would try and make it. Talk to you later, Fred

Awesome work Lou.
With that powerful arm sticking out the front, it would be cool if you wrote "Popeye" on the side of the cab.
