Through the garden and over the creek

I'm past the lawn and into the garden area on the far edge of the pond.



There is a small creek which trickles from our pond to a larger creek.  I crossed this with some 2 x 4's screwed into 4 x 4's spanning the creek.  The aluminum rail will be screwed directly onto these 2 x 4's.




Past the creek now, I've laid out the weed blocker and dug up and moved any ferns I'm going over.  Easier to work in October, you couldn't walk through this area over the summer due to the overgrowth and mosquitos.  It takes a lot of pavers and 5 gallon buckets of stone finish this part, and all have to be hauled in by hand and the kids wagon.



A view from the upstairs.  I've laid 200 feet of roadbed and this is as far as I can go, the last 30 feet will have to be trestle work and a short bridge to reach the other end.  That part will have to wait for Spring.  Next on to the track work!
