Hi, I have just finished putting up one of these in my daughters room, using it like a room divider to hide her closet and shoes etc. I couldn’t have done it without your fantastic instructions, thank you so much!

Try food-grade DE or diatomaceous earth. The tiny, finely-ground particles of calcified shell cot soft-bodied slugs. We use it for our lettuce. It’s organic and will wash off in water. You need to re-apply after rain.

Thanks for the summary of Pitidoe and the few photos – I remember taking it out over and over from the little Lethbridge library when I was in Grade rwo – it was my favorite book and was hoping to find it in some library somewhere but just seems to be in hands of collectors – but your story summary brought back some memories.

Hi Beth-

My girlfriend and I met you and your husband on our first trip house hunting in Monte Rio (May 2010), after our first wrong turn led us right to your place. You guys had a load of wood in the pickup, and a look in your eyes like you were hoping it might just unload itself. We chatted for a few minutes about your project before going on our way.

Since then we have procured a small place (about a mile east as the crow flies), initiating our own adventure. My interests in history/legacy/soul-of-place have been well tended by our project, overwhelming as it so often seems.

I have thought of the Schoolhouse since, and was delighted to have found your blog with all of its experience, humor and humility. Your place looks great!

We would love to meet up again, trade stories, and see/learn more about you & your place.

Thanks,
John H.

How in the world did you get these cute pix? Yay for zoom! They are so cute. And I see our Osprey theory was correct, eh? (-;

And the TV series did the books such an injustice…
