Building a Small RV Park - Year 2

Gunite for a swimming pool for $50.00

No we want hot tub, far less gunite needed.

No diesel required, has it's own reactor.

Can you get me one of those for my RV, might come out cheaper than a tank full

Should have included this video in the original post. But better late than never, right?

When is the 1st cook? Awaiting testing results and the lab awaits the samples (of the cooking!!!).

Gonna try to fire it up this evening for the initial burn in. Then maybe over the weekend I'll try a pizza.

Long day for me today. Had to pour this 4'x4' slab, which probably wouldn't have been that big a deal, but I couldn't get the front loader close enough, so I had to haul the rock (for the base) over one shovel full at a time.

15-60lb bags of Quikrete later and here is my very first cement pad.

Also got rock down the middle of the private walkway from Site 8 to the pavilion. The crusher run down the middle is about 2' wide and then there is grass on each side. Should be very pretty when the grass comes up.

Getting to old for this nonsense.

@Jim, i hate to break it to you, but I think you have severely undersized that RV pad.

Yeah, I see the problem. My dog laid it out. I should have multiplied by 7.

Oh oh! Be glad to have you visit but remember. . . I'm not a contractor! Just a homeowner with a hammer. Bring a good sense of humor with you.

I would never judge, much!

 

[Deer Springs RV Park]

I was at Lowes today with the connoisseur of flowers (Trish), and while she was doing battle with some other woman for a plant of questionable value, I snuck off to the vegetable plant section. I got some Tomato Plants, Bell Peppers (yellow and green), a Jalapeno Plant and some Strawberry Plants. These will make a nice addition to the Deer Springs garden area, where guests can pick some what-nots to go in a salad or on their burgers. Or maybe just grab a strawberry or two.

I checked the fruit trees when I got back to the park and I believe some of them survived the below -0- temps we got hit with last week. If so, then we will have fresh Peaches and Pears too. The Pears are unbelievably sweet and a real treat when you're walking around the area.

What a beautiful sanctuary you have built @Jim. I can't wait to make a reservation! Soon, I hope.

Jim our fruit trees seemed to have survived from last weekend cold weather as well.Fingers crossed that Spring is here to stay.

Doesn't look good for us tonight and tomorrow. As far as the plants go, we lost everything to a freeze a few days ago. Everything except the 4 strawberry plants, they don't seem to have been bothered.

Tonight and tomorrow we're expecting a hard freeze, even some talk of snow flurries. So it'll be a miracle if the buds on the fruit trees survive. Just got back from covering all of Trish's plants so we're hoping that they make it.

Fingers crossed.
