I've been avoiding going outside. Waiting for my father to get home and eat so I can drag him back out to the shop to get it cleaned up for this weekend.

110 Barberry Rd, East haven and I'm gonna PM you my # in a minute in case you get lost.

Coming from your direction you'll want to get off 91 at the montowese avenue exit take a right at the end of the ramp right at berkshire petroleum straight til you can't go straight no more. You'll have to go left-ish straight-ish to cross rt17. Take a right then a quick left then a right at the end of that road your first left go til you can't no more take a left and follow that road around til you see a big round roof barn that's where you're headed. I'm the only buildings on the right except a house and a stable.

It is as po-dunk as new haven county gets. When you're saying "Where the hell is this kid taking me?" you're almost there.

A word of advise to all parties attending:

Don't park near the short bus. There's a lot of nails over there and you will more likely than not end up with a flat tire.


Or if you're coming down 17 you can just hum along til you're through the center of northford. When you see the trailer depot on your left hand side look for Warner Road on your left under a mile down the road if you miss it your FIRST left is Old Tavern Road take that it's maybe 100 feet from Warner and meets it real quick. There's a farm on the left down the road a ways to turn around in as well... Anyways once you're on Warner continue on that up til you get to the intersection of Warner and half mile. Go leftish straightish (you'll get what I mean when you see it) go straight til the road ends and you're staring at a hay field. Take a left we're the only buildings on the right.

FYI for those of you with GPS, 110 Barberry will probably show up as the stables, where as the shop is about another 1/2 -3/4 mile down the road. Technically its the next building/driveway on the right after the stables. Just lots of fields in between the two.

Greg it's actually the second driveway on the right. The first driveway is the old farmhouse but you don't really see that. It's the giant dirt driveway thing.

Just look for several Superduties parked out front. There'll be at least my truck and the company 06 there.
