Yes I agree Bob the price of firewood is crazy and in the case of the Barn it is the best of heating options.
We moved into the new house on 1st Sep and we have been busy, we have done all the landscaping and the driveways are in. our biggest task was moving all the vehicles and then the remainder of the equipment,it took us 16 trips with the 30 ft gooseneck to get everything from Cantley Qc to Merrickville.
We originally put in a 250 x 150 ft parking but that's full and we will have to expand it next year. We will decide on the size of the garage we want during the winter and we will probably build in the spring. By the way the house is really nice.
Carolle and I love the Merrickville area, it is a small village and it never stops,there is always something going on during the weekend.
If anyone is in the Merrickville area please feel free to stop, we are very easy to find, once in the village go over the locks then at the stop turn left towards Smith Falls on Hwy 43 West go 4 kms and we are at 1183 County Road 43( Hwy 43) . If unsure just ask the locals where the guy with all the army trucks live.
When we first got here I had all the trucks lined up in the front yard and now when people ask where I live I simply say on Hwy 43 where all the army trucks are.
We are planning on having a get together this summer, Having taken as example your big field, we now have a big flat field good for camping etc,we are also making some trails and when I rent the backhoe this summer we are going to make some surprise obstacles. Now Carolle and I have to find a good date for the weekend event, suggestions are welcomed.
For the ladies there is a permanent CHRISTMAS store not far away and a lot of boutiques and stores in and near Merrickville.
