Another gorgeous day in Vermont.

Site is cleaned up and typar "siding" is complete. Get used to that look for now -- I'm heading inside.

Adirondack mountain views.

Spring in Vermont = burn permits.

I'm imagining siding.

My first garden -- the rock pile to the right. Only place safe from the bulldozer and backhoe.

I have sheetrock!

Check out that light pattern on the ceiling -- the constellation is going to work, I think!

These guys are amazing. All the sheetrockers up here are French Canadian. These are the "hangers". They don't deliver the sheetrock, they don't pick up the scraps on the floor and they definitely don't tape! Those guys will be here tomorrow.

Housewrap!

Beautiful day, beautiful windows -- all in.

It's mud season in Vermont. But with the disintegrating roads and mud everywhere comes maple syrup making. What a gorgeous day we had last Saturday for the Annual Huntington Maple Sugar Open House Day, complete with pancakes, maple cream donuts and maple popcorn!

And in the meantime, the roads are posted - no heavy trucks including the one carrying sheetrock to my house - until they thaw and dry out.

More than pipes, finally!
