Located 6 miles (10 km) east of Beausejour, Manitoba (3 miles west of Seddons Corner) just off of Highway 44 (half mile south).

We are on Road 48E (actually, the road sign on Highway 44 reads both "Road 48E" and "Singbeil Road"). Turn south from Highway 44 and go a half-mile.

Our "street" address is 71072 (green sign at end of driveway).

A GPS reading taken July 18, 2006 gave the following (from the south east corner of the house - the post at the corner of the front verandah):

N 50º 03' 11.3"
W 96º 21' 40.0"
