Electrical Charges at the Shop


We went solar last year, and here's a bill that helps us see the proof in the pudding.  3 buildings, 12 employees, 8 computers, lots of lights, Air conditioning, etc... and a bill of Zero.


Well, to be exact, .86 cents.

Cottage 47, Olivebridge NY - SOLD

The first of four completed home closings we expect this month started out with a bang yesterday with this in Olivebridge NY.




Big house for a small house.

New Homeowners - first weekend



Heading out the drive.




1300 sq ft, plus a 400 sq ft basement buildout, 2 beds, 2.5 baths, screened porch, mountain views, a little water in the back of the property and most importantly, right next door to our homeowners at Farm 30.  This is the 3rd house we've finished in the glorious south west side of the Ashokan Reservior, about 25 minutes to New Paltz, 10 minutes from Stone Ridge and 40 minutes from Woodstock NY.  Good rural area.




You gotta love a screened porch.



The painters weren't quite done but did my best with the pics.

Cute and versatile kitchen.


One of the bedrooms accented with some salvaged wood.


A study in contrasting materials and products in the bath.



Lots of light into the basement buildout.


And that's it.  13 homes under construction in 3 counties.
