Your approach to laying concrete is new to me. I'm watching with interest. 

With the disappearance of Floquil I'm wondering what a replacement might be.

Mike,

I've been using the 2 ply cardboard for my roads at least 20+ years now. If you double stack a layer, it is the perfect height for the sidewalk and curb next to the road. I haven't done that on this layout but did on my last one.

The next three photos of my roads are all done with the 2 ply cardboard.

I have enough Floquil to not have to worry about a substitute.  Excellent question though.

Tom

Larry,

Yes, it is a good size structure with three main ones in all.

I do have lots of room.

Afternoon all,  

I have lots of photos but haven't had the time to list, crop and load them for this thread.

I'll have my leg up to reduce swelling until Saturday morning. Hopefully by Sunday I'll get back to the build.

Have a great week everyone.

Looking at the ground plan you posted earlier and thinking I'd probably quarter each 2 3/4" square for a northern climate. But not an issue in the Piney Woods.
