Got a new place and moving ...

[Modat22]

Wow thats a really nice place you have there, would you mind if I built an underground house under that barn?

[Patty]

Sorry I am so late to the forum, Marcel....your new place is really beautiful! Is it far from where you live now? I love your barn, is the smaller one in that good of condition also?
That is sure a pretty part of the country....beautiful view!

Congratulations!

If I didn't have to milk these DanG cows,  you'd see me coming down the road.

bro  I was reading about the latest in milking.  You have an automatic setup in your barn, each cow has an electronic tag which triggers the appropriate amount of supplements when the cow enters the milking station.  The cups are placed and removed automatically, the milk is weighed and entered into the database from which the supplement allowance is calculated.  The cows are free to enter whenever they feel the need to be milked.  Some go for three times a day and others only once.  the number of milking stations depends on the number of cows, I'll see if I can dredge up the article, it was in some mag that I get from Europe.

Just shell out the bucks and you are freed from milking for ever.   It doesn't say anything about shed cleaning

[Bro. Noble]

Well,  Ernie,

The Dutch have been playing with that for a few years--------I can get the information

Now,  those dollars,  that's a different story   You send me some and I'll retire and go visit Marcel

[pappy]

P.S. nice bullwinklette by the way

Marcel that's a really nice farm. I have probably seen it from the air - the last time I was up in the Newport/Derby VT area was in a Cessna twin and the view is spectacular. I used to go up there a lot and roam around in Sherbrooke and Magog. Only a mile from the border, you're on the east or west side of the Memphremagog? Anyway, it's nice countryside up there, I wish my area still had large farms available to buy for a decent cost. Right now one of my neighbors wants to sell 60 acres of stunted trees and rocks for a half-million dollars. No pasture, no timber, and no buildings. Oh well.

 
Its on the west side of the Memphrémagog and my north border would be the Missisquoi river .  .. If you been up there , you must of seen the big cannon  that Dr Bull was testing  out up in the hills ... well that would be south east of me .   
 
  Jeff ...
 It truly is a nice place .
 
Pappy  that would be the south east to me 

Modat ... the ssilo could be up for rent ... you could have a view to boot ..
 
 Patty ... Dont be sorry , no need to ... just come up and visite , I gots plenty of spare hammers . This place is 4 1/2 hours east of where I live now .
  The smaller barn needs TLC     I dont know how old it is , I do know that it was built in three different steps or times ... each one with a different level on the floor , but the roof is nice and level and in good condition , the plan for this building is to renovate it from the ground up . Pour a new level floor and have 10 foot walls then put the roof back on . Should make a nice shop garage . 

Congratualtions, Marcel. That sure looks like a nice place to let your hair grow

 The beard too ..

  The house will be going to the left of the small barn in the opening between trees ... they will be removed to make a bigger opening

  This pic was taken facing north . the larger barn is to the left of where I was standing to take this pic ture . the main house is to the right .

That is a beautiful place Marcel , me and Norm can shoot that I mean take that silo down for ya if ya ever get to not liking it but I think I would make a gazeebo office on top of it . I have to take a picture and put here of what the neighbor did with his silo , its a deep swimming pool with a outside winding stairs. Love your place marcel ! Alot !

[old3dogg]

Looks like a really nice place you lucky dogg!

[Lud]

Very nice looking place,  sir.       

You know you might get a shredder for your slabwood, grind it and blow it up in that silo and have your own bedding material for the horses! 

[oldsaw]

Unbelievably beautiful.  Enjoy, I know I would.   I've got a few more years of suburbia before I make that leap.

[Murf]

DanG, I don't know how I missed this thread for so long !!   

Marcel, c'est absolument beau !!! Vous êtes un homme fortuné effectivement.   

As for your radiant heat system, go with the PEX tubing and liquid heat, that way you can use anything, or een a combination of things for the heat source. I helped a friend do this at his place a few years back, now he can heat with wood, gas or electric, whichever is the best deal. Presently he heats with wood, and the electric kicks in if he's away or forgets to stoke the boiler.

Let's see know, that would be about a 4 flight from here, hmmmmmmm, looks like all kinds of places to land too. 

[isawlogs]

 UB
 I'll make sure that I have a hammock up and ready for you to try out tha silo on a sleep over . As for the pool , sorry but one heated pool is enough for me .
 
 Murf

 I was leaning and still am towards electric in slab wiring  for heat ... There will be a wood cook stove and a small box type stove in the house .
  There is a small aeroport not 2 miles east of this place .. It aint for any boings .. but there are small planes that land there .  If youu got a ultra light .. you can land it in the field in front of the house .

[isawlogs]

 moosehunter

  I havent had time to look into that but I will , I dont think it would be that far from one ... if it is I will make one . 

   Tn , 
    Thanks ..   It truly is a nice place , even if I have to saye so myself 

     Once I get settled in there . there is going to be a get together Party  ... UB has already reserved the silo , any place you guys particulor for let me know in advance . 

[UNCLEBUCK]

[Ernie]

At times like this, I really hate living on the bottom of this planet.
