Yep, it is really a Calvin Klein underwear model, but I did build that causeway that model is standing upon. I got five temporary 22 feet by eight foot galvanized steel tubes used by the railroad for temporary repairs of bridges over creeks. I rented an excavator and used my Lull to set the tubes and put fifty concrete blocks six feet by three feet by three feet weighing about 5,500 lbs each around the tubes and then backfilled with gravel and built my roadbed. If you look at the drop to the water which is about 11 feet, one of the floods in 2010 put a foot of water over where that handsome model is standing. I have lost over 260k uninsured flood damage since 2008 which combined with the market crash and the real estate crash knocked me off my high horse and I got introduced to financial ruin.....doing fine now, but will never be that high rider.....small potatoes now, but I will show some pictures of the islands this afternoon as I am cutting new access to the river with the Bobcat and building a roadbed. I guess I have hijacked Joannie's Ortho thread, but as weak as I am now I will probably fall getting in or out of the Bobcat and can add some more broken bone stories to the thread.(not really funny because I almost fell yesterday)
