Bought the farm..... and moved in.

Just wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know we moved in...... well our stuff is now on the property anyway.

Lots of boxes unpacked and I even got a chance to cut some of the grass with the new riding mower. Yee haw! The wife and I are thrilled with the place, but the amount of stuff we need to do now and in the future can be a bit overwhelming. And it is soooooo quiet! Henry the dog is in heaven.

The kids will be coming on sunday so there is still a lot to do!

Will post pictures soon.

Thanks,

Decado

An Update... as request!

Hello everyone! As it is customary at this point in the post......... SORRY! It has been a whorl-wind of activity for Decado and family these last couple of months. I have been getting ready for the move to our new farm and have not spent a lot of time on the computer. As a matter of fact I move tomorrow! But when I got SB's comments.... well.... it brought a tear to my eye. I never thought I would be missed. And I had meant to post something a few times over the last couple of weeks.

Anyway. Apologies and thanks aside.....

I have lots of stuff to do once we move to the farm (tomorrow... yikes) but I know that after things settle down a bit and I have my consulting company moving in the new area I will be bushcrafting my #@!*&%$ off! 71 acres of property and a whack load of ideas to try! Trust me! I will have plenty of pictures and stuff to share over the coming months. I am also working on a separate bushcraft site .... more on that soon.

Opps! The wife is yelling for more boxes! Gotta run! Thanks for your comments. It truly makes the guiilt I feel for not posting all the more worth while!

Be back soon.

Decado the farmer.

Decado bought the farm......

Ok. Maybe I should have rethought that title.

To put it into context: I really did buy a farm! No I did not 'kick the bucket' though you would not know it from my lack of posting lately. My family and I are leaving the city! Will be hours away from Toronto and ... well.... living outside a small town on a 71 acre farm. Lots of room for the kids to grow and the vegetables too! Over half the property is mature woods: birch, poplar, many pines and hardwoods! A bushcrafters dream! Think of it! Walk 100 feet off the back porch and WHAM! you are in the bush! and beyond that? More bush! And beyond that? ... uh... a road I think.... don't know. Haven't been that far yet.

Life has been nothing if not interesting over the past couple of months. We expect to be moving in July if everything goes well. Once there I will be setting up my business and sneaking into the woods when the wife is not looking.

Will let you know how it plays out. I Plan to post some pictures and put together some shelters first chance I get. Will let you know.

Decado.
