What the hell was that?!
Welcome to Smiggin’s Redemption.
My partner persuaded me into adding onto Smiggin’s Folly this summer. She regrets that decision already now that she learned how all the rocks and dirt have to be moved, by hand and wheelbarrow. We are expanding westward out the back of the Folly. I’m leaving it open on two sides this time for easier expansion. There is still a lot of space left into the yard to fill. Much to my disappointment the price of tiny trees is the opposite of tiny so it might be a tad...barren for a while. It was initially to be Pappy Smiggin’s Redemption but once again it will be his folly. Poor old guy can’t catch a break. We’ll just say the place was heavily deforested. It’s up to him to bring life back into this pile of dirt!

Thanks it’s probably older than me but not as old as you. I don’t remember how I acquired it but I actually have two. Very heavy and sturdy. They certainly don’t build them like this anymore.

It's fine, sometimes the axis of my backyard shifts. I need to talk to the zoning department.

And this time I'm leaving room for easier expansionGreat to see, that Smiggins will grow
But they will just be your own ideas that I've stolen from youOhhhhhh boy.
Bring on the great ness and more ideas to steal.
Hahahaha
Cheers!
It has certainly come a long way. Something only time can do.
I've been moving a lot of dirt. Got those trees planted too!
At the moment I'm not trying to make any trails. Just piling up dirt and seeing how it settles. I'll take some trucks and kind of find the way. I won't be planting too many trees this summer because of the heat. I'll wait until the fall when they go on clearance (hopefully) and it will be a much safer time to plant them anyway. Still lots of rocks to add.

Glad to see your making room for the 5th scale short-course trucks.

So you're saying yes to me buying a Baja 5B. Copy that.

Not only is this one of the finest scale areas, the landscaping is pleasing to the eye to those not into scale building. That is a tough balancing act I found especially when I did not get the OK to use common funding for a scale site of my own. Using scrap materials only goes so far but you seemed to have found the common ground with the other team member. Bravo and good luck sourcing stuff as it seems to be a common theme at the moment with everyone doing home remodels and using stimulus money.
