Field Of Dreams

Long time no see. Well fortunately we sold our house in Ayr. We had a two week closing time reduced to ten days once the conditions were closed. We packed and moved our belongings to a nice couple of storage units in Alliston. Our leather furnishing and electronics are comfy in an air conditioned room (nicer living arrangements then ours). We are living in our lovely tin box with all the comforts of home minus air conditioning, heating , dishwasher, shower, walk in closet etc... We wash in a bucket on the side lawn. ( if you have a black hose in the sun you can even get some nice warm water) We do our laundry at the laundromat. We haven't done that in twenty years...it takes alot more quarters then it did then. As of yesterday, we purchased a new turbo wifi internet thus a new posting on my blog. I now it has been quite some time and a lot has changed at the schoolhouse but you must be patient. I'll try and post everyday or so to catch up with our progress. ( and there has been quite a lot) By the way, the picture above is of our neighbours ...the potatoes...we ate some of the little buggers tonight.....Yummy!!!!!

This is Steven....he is our neighbour and he has done the back filling for us. It may be hard to believe but it took nine loads brought in to do the job.




Here Ross is compacting the fill in the garage looking all buff and manly.






The back of the school house.











A view of the garage.






This is the stone slinger filling the basement and garage with clear stone in preparation for pouring the concrete floors.




This is Ross watching the stone slinger thinking how happy it makes him to know he doesn't have to wheelbarrow and shovel 22 ton of stone. If he was facing the camera, you'd see a grin from ear to ear.
