The driveway at the Elphinstone property is fairly long with a steep grade water coming off the highway makes trenches in the gravelled drive couple years back had spread waste cooking oil on a small section near the top. This section remains untouched and looks like it was paved with asphalt so I have started collecting more waste cooking oil to complete the rest of the driveway also going to install a cattle guard near the top the trench under the guard will divert water from coming down the drive.
Was at the Sandy Lake dump the other day and there's half a dozen 250 gallon furnace oil tanks I'm thinking of grabbing a couple then cutting them suing the top and bottom sections to set into the concrete as my top form during the pour to make the job look professional. once the cement has cured the tank ends will be removed. Probably use wire mesh instead of rebar to strengthen the concrete structure.
The Sandy lake dump has a new custodian my banishment over the flame thrower expired when the other guy retired so I'm once again allowed in the pick from the pile. during my last visit got an old wheelbarrow and half a dozen laptops along with seven desktop PC's.
Some may recall the home built car trailer that made me enough money to buy a crane truck, the fellow who bought the truck from me said I could borrow the truck whenever. The man is true to his word I have used the truck twice on my return to Manitoba for heavy lifts at Elphinstone, as goodwill on my part always give fuel money.
