Some more pics:D

First one is my favorite. I didn't see him do it but Mike dumped a load of dirt out front of RCP metalworks. I saw the pile afterwards sitting there and had a good laugh. so happy he caught a pic of it:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

very get together and all the great stuff wish i was there

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Hey Bigford no big NS units available in this scale . What I'm running is two foot narrow guage trains . Standard guage would be Hugh and massive I'll figure out the size later

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Mike , 1"(1:12) scale is so close to our truck scale . 4.75" track gage I'll have to put a truck beside one for comparison .

Great get together Mario . I guess it's good I stayed home and kept the pit hog away .

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

It was a really good time Steve and the pit hog would have loved it too :D

Then he tried taking the loader and roller, actually got out of town limits with this load and was seen on the north highway:D

In the local newspaper again.:D

http://www.saultstar.com/2016/08/07/big-time-fun

Also had a Local TV reporter and camera man, just waiting for that to be posted sometime this week. Can't wait to see how that turns out.
The camera guy had a big grin on his face the entire time. I heard him say to the reporter, " I am getting such killer footage! Best shoot I've ever been too "
:bounce:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I had a nice pile of stone dust that needed hauling but a few dump trucks couldn't make it so was tough to do with one dump truck :rolleyes:Next year I need more construction equipment to attend. :)

Love that truck! Chicken lights and chrome, H3ll, I'm headed home.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I'm kinda stuck where I'm at right now :( I'm in the middle of a trans swap (auto - standard ) in my truck . The car can't haul shyt ( no trunk room :rolleyes: ) My goal is to be able to go cross country and northern border next year with me models ;) .

Yea, the mack and 990 would've made short werk of that pile :D.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Congrats on the news coverage AGAIN :D The article and pictures they took came out great!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Really , really upset I couldn't get there Mario!! This summer has been one of the busy ones for me in a long time. Moving out, moving in, ect,, and work has been busy too!! Lately just a couple hours of relaxing is a treat for me!! Haven't ran more than a couple batteries this whole summer!! Really missed being up to see you and the awesome set up you have!! Should have shipped up the dozer for ya!! I'll get up there next time Mario!! I just couldnt get the time, and needed more than a half day to play with two days driving.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Mario I didn't know you wanted that pile moved Mack would have been up for it !

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Great pictures supermario and looks like a great time for everyone!! I kept looking for a giant unpainted mining truck and a big D-11 but after reading cooper's post I get it. This could turn into something special in the future. Great job!! You do need more construction equipment.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

It was going to be a bigger pile. I used my truck and purchased 1 cuyd at a time . First load I wheelbarrowed into the back yard, the next in the driveway. Was going to go for another yard but by then the sun was high and so was humidex so I went and sat in the shade instead. :rolleyes:
Your more than welcome and would love it if you could join us in the future. It's 362 days away. :D:bounce:

:lol::lol: thanks Brandon. Like I say, I'm pumped to see what the TV video interview turned out.


Do you know how much you cost the Canadian military in preparations for the Canadian invasion? Do you realize how many canoes were built for this? :lol:

Well, could have prevented all this if you would have told me about your plans to buy and move into a new house:cop: I would have reminded you of the effect and ramifications of such a choice :p

There's always next year and there will definitely be a bigger and better next year event. :)

Wait a minute......Did you say you'd ship me the dozer?......oh such a tease! :lol::lol:

Sorry I never mentioned Mike, once I realized Cooper , Mark and Bo couldn't make it I figured it wasn't a project that needed doing....besides, I like the shade in Foxville, the driveway is a little hot to be sitting there running a hoe.:)

Thanks Tom. It was a great time and I agree, this could become something special for sure. I tested the waters and feeling pretty confident right now that maybe, just maybe this could be like a northern Indy type gathering.:D
And of course open to all such as those in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois...hop skip and jump for some :rolleyes::)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

One of the guys, Chris Silver took some great pics of his truck in various locations like a story line..... Serviced, fuelled ,.....

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I'm really liking the bring it and leave it idea for sure! :lol::D

Loving it! :D

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Out of all the pics taken last weekend, this is one of my favourites. :D

http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5zwqgy53.jpg



But if you ask which is my absolute personal favorite? Has to be this one of Chris Silvers truck taken by Chris.....just something about this pic that i love....:):cool:

http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3iy2vheb.jpg






It's only been 5 days since everyone left.... Already missing them all.:( I feel so alone, Back to a one horse town. :(

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Raining, non outdoor play type of day but that don't stop me from putting a few personal touches to my new dozer.:D
Seat and controls out of a hobby engine pos I bought a few years ago finally makes a contribution :lol:
The dash board is en example of my hoarding. Way, way back as a teen I built 1:25 scale transports. Painted this dash and it was by far the best detail job I ever did so always kept it all these years although truck is long gone. Suddenly today, it serves a purpose of sorts:rolleyes::lol:
Little paint here and there and voila! .... A French Canadian dozer! :D:lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Hah a Pete dash in a CAT dozer, looks good!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

:). What looks good? The Pete dash or the dozer? :lol::D

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

And I give up on FB videos for now. Going to wait till the wife gets back from her vacation. :)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I see a FoxCat........Pure Bread......Lovely. :)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

I'm not sure about the Peterbilt/Corvette dash but the whole dozer is defiantly looking rugged! Love the big stack and the worn paint. The cat decals were a big improvement. Have you thought about wire wheeling the tracks and blade?

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Yes I was thinking about that Craig. I'm missing a couple grousers and the tracks could use a little freshen up. I don't want to do too much though because like you, I'm sold on the natural wear and tear look of it and the fact I hate painting it's all good. :lol:
The Pete dash is definitely not right but it looks better than nothing at all for now. Only installed with double sided tape so if and when I find or make something better it'll do for now. :)

Oh, and someone asked how the lowboys did in the yard?.... There Was a few tricky spots and scrubbing could be heard every now and then but drivers adapt, learn the road and wasn't many other hang ups.

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

After 3 years of work to create Foxville I can't believe I just put our house up on the market!:eek:
Not to worry, I haven't lost my mind, I see major potential in our new house in the country for a bigger and better layout. Oh, and the dream garage is a nice bonus too:D no more stairs! I'll be able to just drive them out of garage and on my way.:):bounce:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

You're gonna look pretty funny riding that bicycle but other than that, RIGHT ON!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

You got to paint the bicycle Cat Yellow........Ooh Dear o Dear....Lovely place ! Lot of fun waiting. Congrats Mario & Sue :)

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

So did you already move in or have you had the one in the country? Looks like lots of potential! Good luck and enjoy!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

So glad you didn't say 5 man sauna!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Nahhh, I'll leave that to Susan. I'll be on the JD lawn tractor...which needs a coat of yellow perhaps. :eek::lol:
Thanks Bo. Like I say, I think I'll save the paint for the green tractor. :)

Not yet. It's Susan's dads house which he built in 98. He now has dimentia and can't live or be left alone. I've always loved the house and property and want to help keep it in the family so we buy and he lives with us.


:lol::lol: never been in a 5 man sauna before and don't plan on. :lol::lol:

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Skies cleared and got the dozer out today! My mind is all caught up in new house plans but an hour with the dozer fixes that.:D

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Nice Mario, and I'm sure you will make good use of the new spaces. You ahead of me, my functional touilet is a box of empty gator aid bottles and the sauna is the entire garage. Been hot around here and garage becomes the sauna!!! Looks like you will have the ground to make plenty of roads and a nice sized functioning quarry!!! Selling off the steel plant? Or just gonna move operations? Workforce is gonna be upset, as I don't see the local foxes making the move:) no worries, the country has a greater variety of skilled labor. ;).

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Mario have you seen these? Nice detail for your dozer!

Re: S&M construction open for bizz nizz!
 

Hate to say it RW but it's gonna be a quiet, no build winter for me unfortunately.
Life took a big hair pin corner not long after the Foxville meet in August.
Susan's dads health deteriorated and so it was a move and care for family situation. For the first time in 4yrs I find myself letting off the RC hobby throttle:eek:

Her dad passed away Nov19th. Great guy and I miss him already :( he was also a part of the hobby. He travelled to Shipshewana and picked up the trailer Izzy built for Sue a few years ago.:)
and so now we are moved into the family home but trying to fit the possessions of 2 homes into one, in the winter......
Too much chaos right now and I can't see any action on the S&M thread this winter....:(
Next spring I begin the build of " Brownsville " in honor of Susan's dad,
Ray Brown. RIP
