One for Lucas, One for Me. And some nice national press.
I had a nice visit with some prospective customers the other weekend and then in the mail I got this unexpectedly.
The Lego set and Single Malt. Now there's some class (unlike Brandi Merolla up in Narrowsburg).
Our architect Kevin and myself lent out our knowledge to Builder Magazine, a rag I think is one of the best national magazines on home-building trends, real estate and design.

Many of you will recognize this design trick since we probably used in your home if you built with us in the last 2 yrs and have a home smaller than 1400 sq ft.
www.upstater.net
Upstater.net is probably one of the best easy go-to reads I've come across. Not quite as funny, varied or nerdy-with-the-numbers as catskill4sale's blog, but there's no shame in coming in 2nd to that well-written upstate commentary.
Upstater updates daily, with both real estate for sale and information for the part-time upstater.
Nice Morning Greeting
From Anonymous, as a comment to my blog -
"Yes. You are a charmer. Both men and women get flustered. Keep up the excellent work across the state. You are one of the best business people we have met."
Considering how savvy and broadly experienced our clients tend to be, this is quite the compliment.
Barn Axioms
So I was searching for a name for a new business I'm considering and was researching terms related to barns - I thought I'd share some Axioms wikipedia listed..
- "He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn" is a popular expression for a person having poor aim when throwing an object or when shooting at something.
- To "lock the barn door after the horse has bolted" implies that one has solved a problem too late to prevent it.
- "Were you born/raised in a barn?" is an accusation used differently in various parts of the English-speaking world, but most commonly as a reprimand when someone exhibits poor manners by either using ill-mannered language (particularly if related to manure), or leaving doors open.
- "Your barn door is open" is used as a euphemism to remind someone to zip the fly of their trousers.
