gtblum Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 That cute little cottage is about an hour and a half up the street from here. They damn near tipped it over once. They invited too many people to one of the partys Check out the neighbor's place.

Robert Jones Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks Kurt. According to someone on the other "forum" there's only a couple of us here anyway, it shouldn't tip over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can afford that Island, the answer is Yes. There used to be, and maybe still is a place on the river in Clayton called Foxy's. All I remember about it was, the food was great, the beer was cold, and the trip back and forth from the Island I was partying on, in an absolutely gorgeous old wooden Lyman. Alexandria bay is real close. What ever you want, is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtblum Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 What's the body of water? Maybe I can be convinced....... It's one of the 1000 Islands in the St Lawrence river. You could get there by boat. Here's a link with the story behind Boldt castle. I need to go back there and see what they did to the place.

Tom Raymond Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Carlton Island isn't far from there and it's for sale too. More of a fixer upper though. http://www.thousandislandslife.com/Back ... Villa.aspx Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a fixer upper though.http://www.thousandislandslife...lla.aspx Tom It looks bad, but wood from that era was far more resistant to decay, so I wonder if it remains salvageable. If I get my wish in life, I'm going to retire with something like this (smaller scale, of course) and work my days away restoring it. I'm not one to sit and wait.

Tom Raymond Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 It's only half a million. With the pool of talent here and a couple of hundred thousand each we should be able to have her ship shape in no time. Here's the listing for any one interested, http://www.historicproperties.com/detai ... y=Necar006 The sad reality is that after being vacant for 60 years (when I found the listing 5 years ago), it'll cost close to the purchase price to tear it down and haul it off the island. The property is 'subject to special rules', which is NY's way of ensuring that it continues to rot away. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
