Busy weekend with honey-do's.
I did squeeze in a little layout time and started on the permanent ground cover for the yard. I cut the baseboard for between tracks two and three. I will wait on the area between track one and the main. I have to put my Lionel control tower, water tower, and passenger station back in place first. On the mock up I thought the "ground" was too smooth and flat so I went back to my old cabinet making days and distressed the boards. I put it face down on my driveway concrete curb and whacked it with a hammer. 
I painted the pieces with a mix of black and brown acrylic and will spray them next. Once they are on the layout I will start on the ground cover.

the paint is still wet in these pix.
