Brilliant work on the garden course, some real inspiration for mine

It's a quality course he's created, amazing

Hi, what did you paint the rocks with? Looks superb

Liquid concrete pigments. Either mix into the concrete or do as I did afterward for a nice varied appearance. Going on 3 years and no fading.

lol, amazing work, one of my favorite threads on here!

Good eye!

Ah, the ballet. Just about everything I build has something Simpsons related. I like them even more than tiny trucks.

What's going on? Oh yeah, I made Pappy a chicken coop for the chickens he doesn't have...yet. I'll get some eventually. Until then I need to find someone to paint my chicken coop.

Let's get Smiggy with it.


More 1:1 scale fence. New truck garden in the background


Moss 3 years in the making






Oh Pappy, you have quite the junk and animal collection.




Boo


Fuzzy


Big leaf ruined the picture. I suck at truck gardens.


So cool how this tree is growing


Bath and drinking water.


Dear EPA, disregard this photo


So artistic. I should be an artist.


I call the bottom!


The dizzying heights of Smiggin's Canyon

Beautiful job !! You've put a lot of time into that and it's paid off wonderfully .... And it looks pretty "spouse-friendly" too.

Thank you. If I had a spouse she would approve.

I got this awesome scratch built Model T from 2beers as a prop. It's simply amazing. Can't believe I'm going to leave it outside!

See the thread here: The Original SUV

He said I could do whatever I wanted with it...Big mistake.


Looks like Pappy has been using it for target practice.

I think seeing your park here has made me want to make my own track look like a nice addition instead of a pile of rocks. How long did it take for the concrete to cure and be drivable?

Very nice, but the neighbor kids appear to have brick-boobied Pappy inside his trailer home.

Been removing leaves from Smiggin's Folly for a few weeks now. All the big trees have just about lose all their leaves. I took a few pictures after the clean up.

More testicles mean more iron!

Still loving the non stop references. I checked the thread, but couldn't find a birds eye photo of the entire area. Maybe that and a Disneyland style map would be fitting.
