Its hokey all in all, but that's somewhat the point. The future woodstove wallshield is a hood from my old '94 Mercury Sable station wagon, and the entire substructure of the 12 by 16 addition was framed in salvaged wood from both my old bosses' deck, and farm/barn in Stoughton, MA. VT is amazing, the taxes keep going WAYYYY up though. 100% hike in a 2 year span- yikes! Oh yeah, since some might find concern in utilizing mere plywood siding- we waterproof-coat the siding once every year in hopes that it will bring some additional longevity- we also gave the roof a very generous overhang to keep as much rain away from the cabin as possible. Thanks for looking. And best with all of your cabins, efforts, etc. Thanks! Its hokey all in all, but that’s somewhat the point.

It seems like everything goes up there. Low red tape, just the right mix of libral thinking and old world charm, an independant spirit and lots of space. I wonder if there isn't something similar in the Wisconson/Illinois/Michigan area. I guess Vermont really is a builder’s paradise. It seems like everything goes up there.
