Eagleview Barn
912 St-Lawrence K0G 1N0 Merrickville, ON, Canada

It may have been a little chilly this weekend but my good friend Simon and I worked up a sweat moving approximately 30 tonnes of fieldstone .

This was an all day adventure. Ron and Simon began dismantling an old barn foundation (barn long since gone)and brought 5 loads back to merrickville. Many more loads to follow. With this lime fieldstone, we are hoping to construct new stone walls for the project.

We thought it was time to show you what Eagleview Barn will look like. This is an oil painting done by artist Bob Shackles, a first cousin of Ron's. The Barn's front porch will be south facing onto Alice Street. This painting really helps to put things in perspective and helps show what this amazingly unique event venue will be - a Landmark in the making for sure!

Merrickville-Grove is slowly tak'n shape. Normally the brush would be ground up and re-used but in this case there was too much dirt and rock mixed in with it. So they brought in an incinerator to clean things up and make it look better.

A lot cheaper to mill up your own lumber these days. It's extra sweet when the trees were slated to be burned in order to clear farmland down near Oxford Station.
