| Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly 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. Last edited by THX_138; 08-15-2018 at 07:46 AM. |

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

| Re: Welcome to Smiggin's Folly 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. Overhead view of Pappy's place. |

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 This piece is titled "Rocks and trees" by pardonmyg00b The air is so thin up here Out of focus stuff |

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

You saw nothing 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. Last edited by Natedog; 10-18-2016 at 10:49 AM. | |

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. |
