Turtle Back - Elm Clump Forest

Post by alpineart »

I couldn't find any pics on this particular setup or a topic but it has been here for a few years and I have taken it to the club in the past .

Removed from a large tray I used elsewhere and re-configured , it now resides on a 10 second slab planted this morning and wired up for the future

Knowing alpine I would say that's how long it took him to put the planting on it :whistle:

I see you must use a fair bit of maxi nails mate - is that how you southerners put together your houses down there ? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi KIRKY , It took all of ten hits with a hammer to create the rough slab out of a manufactured tile :tu:

Hi Mr Bougy Fan , it took a little longer maybe 20 seconds as it was re-arranged from the original ;) .

The liquid nails and maxi bond is used to silence the critics , no good for construction down here , way too wet !!! :whistle:

Cheers Alpine
