Glad to hear that you HAD insurance.......policy under review while repairs are made and a full investigation, starting with the rolled jeep on the Tank course at Ft. Knox........Great Candy Bar Fire.......Horizontal Levitation while working on Square D.... Seriously, glad you're ok and insured - heck, hide side pick-up is worth it alone!
how many are you thinking of putting in?

Did I mention I’m pretty good with electrical.....jus sayin. And I work cheapSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
what I am trying to get at, is a few things.1. have you sat down and actually sketched out exactly how you want the hide/farm/or whatever it is becoming now to be when complete? just asking, as that's something that shouldn't be shared for the world to know.2. I understand "YOUR" camper being where its at, because that is the only one down there and that is also serving double duty as a command center. is it smart to have campers kind of just pulling up where ever and being scattered all over with no sort of organization?3. here is a picture not to scale of what I was trying to propose/recommend

Pull throughs don't need as much road width or free movement area to get into or out of. 30 Amp sites wouldn't cost nearly as much to run power but the bigger campers would suffer in the summer as you can't run both air conditioners on 30 amps. 30 AMP needs hot, neutral, and ground where as 50 AMP needs two hot, a neutral, and a ground. 50 AMP is two 50amp circuits where 30 amp is only one30 amp so wire size would be larger with the 50's. Site size needs to be large enough to open slides on both sides of the camper and long enough to accept larger trailers/5th wheels. The road into out of doesn't need to be level but the pads should be close to level side to side and not too far off end to end. With back in sites you would only need one road but the rigs need room to move into out of the sites. More angle means less room needed to back into the site. Younger guys there for training could get by with a tent and an outhouse, older guys like me and a few others would need the full meal deal if longer than a couple days.

You have a massive pile of rock wall parts started oh my gosh!!! Looks good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks great Don, keep it up. Maybe a nice platform of that rock around the lip of the pond might toughen it up some?You break things pretty consistent, have that going for you.I have noticed that naps come very easy these days.
Up here in Kentucky it is a major crop. My fields are growing them constantly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All those rocks along the top of the pond will give the heron and other fish eating birds a place to stand. I tried fish in our small waterfall pond and the birds kept the fish sellers in business. I managed to relocate a couple heron but the neighbor and sheriff decided I wouldn't be shooting any more of them.
I would be interested in a log beam for a mantel. Let’s talk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That is true Don if the pond is deep enough and the fish stay out of the top water. My pond area is a composite stock trough maybe 2.5ft deep and the heron stood at the top and picked off the fish when they came toward the surface.
Don can you get a photo of said logs you are looking to possibly part with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dave, truck freight them. It’s not that expensive, only question is if they will allow it due to possible bugs? Idk, I ship steel.
