That sounds like the story of my life, I am always in "SOMETHING". Hope we get lots more of this weather so I can fini***he yard clean-up, then on to the boat prep project and when that is completed it will be time to work on the RAILROAD.
Have a GOOD DAY and don't get stuck,

Hello Sean,
Great pictures and what a GREAT YARD and POND you have. I wish mine could look so good. I have done more raking this morning, about two hours of raking a day is enough for any sane person with a sore back to do at any one time. next will be working on more railroad items and do a few errands.

We saw this elf digging out for the new pond were 6 maples use to stand!! [;)]

Here is another shot showing some of the tree's!

This is how the new pond looks! [wow][wow]

We had to build it because the fish were jumping out of there small kiddie pool with all the rain we had this summer!
Nothing seams to big with a little help!!
Good luck ,you have the right attitude!![:D]

P.S. we now know why there was a deplession there! Rain runn off!![:(]
We did fix the runn off problem!!
We don't know if the train will even be there!![%-)]

Afternoon Sean,
Don't know anything about a LIVE STEAM Railroad here on the Cape. All I know about G`Scale on the Cape is 2 men in Chatham that have G Scale layouts in there yards. They are the same men that set up the display for "FIRST~NIGHT" in Chatham. Today I have been constructing cement foundations for my Depot Building and my Town Square Gazebo. Spring Fever is knocking on my door so I raked the area where I am hoping to install the railroad, it took about two hours. Now it is time to check on the cement and take it easy. If weather permits, more raking tomorrow.

My job takes me to all area's of mass.(inside 128). Somerville ahhh! [}:)]
The new house! 10 tree's were cut down (2-fireplaces) just for the pond! [:-,] We have a lot of work to do inside, so I haven't figured were to put the bigger layout yet!! I'm thinking of going over it with the C.E.O. this spring/summer! For now I'll look on the web untill I go back into the field and away from computers! Have you been to the live steem rail road that the Cape Cod Live Steemers have? This was a fun RIDE !! [tup]I'll just look and read some more so I'll have some idea on the layout!
Buye for now!

[emipapa]

Glad to hear that you have transplanted some of your trees. Have you started your layout as yet? How large will it be in the begining? At the present time I have removed 3 trees and still have to remove 3 or 4 more and then deal with the stumps before I can begin the laying of track. This added work is due to the age of the "scrub pines" and the tops of them dying out. I read that you came from Waltham, I was born in Somerville.

I did take some of the trees in the pics with me! The are planted and are on standby!

I "DO" know about the "GUILT QUESTION", Been There & Done That. As far as the Cape, Best place to live and the reason are numerous and s you are always going the oppsite direction of the traffic, or when "THEY" are HEADED ON or OFF. We live about 30 miles further out then your parents. Saw your pictures on Mylargescale, they were GREAT. I do hope I can get my R.R. up and running this summer, of course thats after Yard Work and Boat ready for Water, Good Luck with your R.R. and don't let the Supermarket get you down. Plant lots of CEDAR TREES. Emipapa
