Here's a progress report on our new tunnel. So far we have 42 feet laid down with a 70 inch height on one side and 60 inch on the other side. These walls are built up with old RR bridge ties 10"x10"x6' and weigh in at 330 lbs each. So far I've hauled over 90 of these toothpics and last night we decided with the extra ties we could buildup another 6' making it 48' long ... and afterwards the roof.
