smclelan Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 It doesn't look bad really. There is still a thin base, you are not starting from nothing. Looks like good weather coming, cold to stiffen things up......then just add snow! PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
