Building the NM&RC

[Svein]

Ever since we bought our house last summer, we've been playing around with the idea of building a garden railroad in the back yard. Well, one year has passed, and the construction of the NM&RC (Northern Meadow & Reverend Creek, a loose translation of the names of our property and the small stream running by) is under way!

Here's an overview of our back yard, pics taken June 1st before construction began:

Southeast side, looking southwest. The scars from an excavator visiting last year are still clearly visible:


Southwest side, looking northwest. The old deck will be removed and a new one put in:


Same side, looking the other direction:


In the west corner, we plan to have a sitting area under the tree, maybe with a BBQ or an open fireplace, with the track running by on a high curved trestle on the outside:
