For those of you unfamiliar with the project, I am rescuing and re-inhabiting an 1872 one-room schoolhouse in the beautiful Canadian countryside. Every summer, for the last 10 years, I have bribed folks with food and drink and the lure of sweaty dirty hard labor, and we've accomplished a lot! Come aboard, I can offer you the thrill of new skills, and the relaxation of a buccolic vacation from the mundane! Scroll down for photos and other good stuff . . . This year, the aggenda is still under review, but we do know we'll have fun!. |

(For Directions and Other Thotz see bottom of this page) |
Directions and Other Thotz okley dokley begin directions find a candian, preferably one raised in Burlington persuede him to direct you at least as far as Guelph, Ontario. take route 6 north (you can retain the canadian if you wish) through Fergus to Chatsworth where hiways 6 and 10 join to become . . . Hiway 6-10! 14 km later, in Owen Sound, one proceeds on the same road through the suburban edge of town until, about three or four stop lights along, one can take a right turn onto hiway 26, east towards Meaford pass by all of the big box retail until you leave town, and drive about 13 kilometers to the Irish Block Road. The Irish Block Road is at the top of a hill, which is after a big valley, which is after the municipal airport, which is after the golf course, which is after another big hill. anyway, the Irish Block Road is right at the top of the hill as i said and its a tricky left turn northwards. turn north and proceed ALMOST to the second crossroads. if you pass the second crossroads you've gone too far. after the FIRST crossroads you will pass some fields, and a tunnel of trees with a farm immediately on your left then a woodlot on your left and a farm on your right the schoolhouse is in the woodlot, on your left, looking out over the shallow valley a lone tree on the right denotes the approximate location of the driveway. ow. my wrist hurts. end directions the schoolhouse has a telephone 519/372-0841, but you better let it ring several minutes since it might take me some time to crawl down from the roof my mom in toronto can relay a message 416/699-6342 and so can my dad (less reliably) 519/934-2828 packing list? music, swimsuit, footwear and hats and clothing to getr covered in paint and dirt can be chilly (60s) at night can be hot in day (90s) i will have towels, and bed linens but they may smell a bit like moth balls until we air them . . bring extra pillows if really like pillows, i have 4 or so . . |
