Re: TBall Diamond Renovation Complete!
I coached my son's team in t-ball last year ....our field was in sad shape too...........The league roto tilled the base paths and left it that way.....My kids were throwing mud chunks at each other rather than fielding baseballs..........I hauled in 5 tons of sand and used a walk behind vibratory roller to pack the basepaths.............when we were done............No more mud and basepaths smooth enough to land aircraft on...........I don't know why they neglect the youngest ones so much....they would have left our field a rough muddy mess all season if me and another coach hadn't stepped in........Hats off to you on your excellent renovation job...............Tom

Re: TBall Diamond Renovation Complete!
I'd like to thank everyone at TBN for the help, suggestions and encouragement. Mostly, I'd like to thank Rodney, the other father that acted as foreman and planner. Me and my PT425 were basically labor. Rodney did most of the hard physical labor while I sat on the tractor /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif. Without him, none of this would have happened.
What great fun watching the kids play. Nothing, and I mean nothing is more fun or satisfying than watching kids enjoy themselves and not have a clue as to the work that you did for them. They are just out there having fun. That's what it's all about, folks. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
So, to quote myself:
" <font color="blue"> I used to do a lot of volunteer work, but kind of got disgusted with mankind for about 10 years... I recently got over it </font> "
I'm glad I did. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Outstanding job David! I'll have to swing by there at lunch and have a look. You are to be commended, not just for your hard work but also for your community spirit /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Those children playing on that field you created also have the benefit of you as their role model. This they will carry for the rest of their lives and hand down to their children.
