@goosehd wow what a yard. Party here

[goosehd]

Here is a picture of my wife’s family cottage which stood here before we built our house. In 2012 I tore down most of it by hand and placed it into bins to be taken to the local garbage dump. We rescued as much of it as we could and have incorporated some of the items into our new home. For example, we took one of the old windows and turned it into a mirror and saved one of the doors from the cottage to use as the door to our bedroom:

@goosehd
looks like a fantastic place for a Iron Heart Army Canadian summer party 🥳
so we go Canada in 2025

@Daniel-San we'll go there. by boat! let's set up an IH cruise aramada until then.

Sure you guys are all invited, but please don’t tell my wife…I have to strategize how to slip this one into a conversation.

Thank all of you for the compliments as it’s a place that I/we truly love. Laura and I spent our honeymoon here, many summers swimming on hot, muggy days after working in the strawberry fields, picking sweet corn for the market, and everything else under the sun. It’s only about 15-20 minutes from her parent’s home and we used to run down here all of the time in the summer to relax.

It was hard to tear down the old cottage as it had been in her family for close to 100 years, but it was past it’s prime and in need of serious repairs that no one wanted to put money into. It was co owned by her dad and uncle, which has its own story on how we acquired the uncle’s half. Her dad gifted us his side as he knew how much it meant to us.

Love it....

[Daniel San]

what a great story behind this wonderful place

[Daniel San]

@tody
great idea , but first you have to convince @Giles to size up ️ Sakura is a little small for all of us

[Giles]

I'm game. You need to talk to @Madame-Buttonfly

[goosehd]

The crazy thing is, that it’s possible to sail to my front door (lakeside) via the St. Lawrence Seaway from Gosport UK

[tody]

@goosehd I drove up to Percé rock once, I bet I still know the way!

[Giles]

And boy, how I would love to, but we have the minor impediment of the Atlantic between us.....

Edit: I'm sorry to let such a trifle interfere with my foolhardiness.....

[J-IV]

@goosehd ngl reading that really made me smile. Such a fairytale. Thanks for sharing some of your sunshine with us

[tody]

@Giles Captain! Iceberg ahead!

[Mizmazzle]

Ship of fools!!!

[Tago Mago]

I know someone who has skippered a yacht across the Atlantic. More than once.

[goosehd]

The private laneway is shared to our house. Starting to fill in nicely and a project I’ve worked on for the last 10 years.

[Aetas]

Absolutely beautiful laneway @goosehd

[goosehd]

Trying to top @Giles …I accidentally went for an early season swim when the top of my waders went under water as I was putting in the foot valve for the lawn’s irrigation system. The lake is pretty damn cold for this time of year:

Great pic of Laura, you not so much.......
