The rebirth of the Canyon State RR

[ezdays]

Installing the chain link fence for the tower site should have been easy, but it was really not that well designed to go around corners or be cut into sections, so it wasn’t easy. Cutting it to length left one side of the barbed wire without any support, bending it at a corner did the same and there also was no easy way to join two sections. I had to add wires to the ends that had no support and glue overlapping sections. Bending corners and joining two sections made the spacing uneven so I couldn’t use the template they included. I thought there was little chance to secure the fence directly to the site and keep it straight, so what I did was to cut a sheet of plastic to fit inside the fence and glue the gravel to it. I then glued each fence post to the plastic. (photo 1) I also had to clear the site of the gravel that was there so the edge would match up with the road and also be level enough (photo 2) to accept the assembly (photo 3).

As you can see from the rest of the photos, things worked out. The town now has an ample supply of water with good pressure thanks to it being up on the hill. There is a pump house to get the water up there and a maintenance shed as well. I hope this keeps the town council off my back for a while, just finish one project and they’re looking for another.
