Our Story
We are Donna and Gordon Applebee. We were both retired when we started building our new house in the spring of 2015 in the little city of Brockville, Ontario, Canada.
We love our new place. If you check out the older posts, you can see some of the construction process.
We like that we are closer to the GTA, where most of my family lives. We also like that we're not too far from our son (who lives in our old house in the Laurentian foothills of Prevost, Que.)
​
We like being in a small city and that we can walk to everything. We love being near the river (7-minute walk).
​
We enjoy being part of a large community of amateur musicians.
​
​
We have embarked (fall 2018) on another ambitious project.
We are building a little outboard cruising trawler from an old inboard fiberglass hull.
