I cant build a shooting range but I can build the kids a pitching mound in the yard. I got a free load of dirt and we threw it together wed. I still gotta order the mound and plate yet but you get the idea from the pic's. I was really waiting for someone to give me some bullchit about needing a permit to build it. Anymore in town you need a permit for anything you do :rolleye: Nobody said didly anyhow :biggrin:
Look at the mound..

Gonna put up a small fence behind home plate so I dont have to chase balls.
Devon had a blast helping me, he's a good little worker !!!
That's cool. Good to hear Devon enjoyed the experience too. :yoyo: :yoyo:
I see the snow shovel there, did ya have to shovel the area off before construction began?
I'm sure they'll enjoy it. Especially knowing that Dad's supporting there attempts like this. :congrats:
my free dirt wasnt sifted, I raked all the stone out of it up into the snow shovel like a big dust pan :eyebrow: :biggrin:
That's really cool. :thumb2: That reminds me of a baseball movie I saw once.... build it and they will come. :biggrin:
And if any fool says anything about the dirt pile... it's a flower bed (poor Gardner) :madd: or the backstop to your new rifle range (good shot). :yoyo:
:wink: :laf:
