Willoughby is a nice wide Blue.

How do you differentiate between a golden eagle and a juvenile bald eagle?

I see tons of bald eagles (juvenile and mature) along the CT River from Springfield, VT up past Lyme, NH.

I gather VT fish and wildlife would love to have this data if you can report it! :)! Great sighting

I wear my safety glasses ( for lawn mowing etc) on night drives; especially in rain. The yellow tint of the glasses mellows the glare quite a bit, while not interfering with visibility.

Thanks so much

The article stipulates what they're doing.

I dont think this is a true or sustainable price level at this point. The reason newbuild costs went up so much were due to material (e.g. lumber) going nuts during hte pandemic and compounded by labor and substantial tightness in backlogs. All of these issues are abating very fast (e.g. lumber already below pre pandemic levels again) except for labor which remains higher. I think as builders complete backlog this year mark to market pricing on incremental orders will be down towards pre pandemic levels again, though maybe not all the way considering higher labor costs are likely sticky. FWIW I received some quotes on very high end custom builds in the middle of the pandemic (so still high material costs) and those returned in the $400 range per square foot so I think this is already towards the high end.

Thanks for the detailed response.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Fuckin’ crazy!!

Remember the days of $75/sf?

What about buying land and living there say camping and/or rving?

He was between where I take a left off of Buck Hollow and the Fairfield town center, not sure exactly where

Fairfield is chock full of wildlife, I've already seen 2 owls, tons of deer, plenty of other raptors, and now this guy!

I doubt it, I think he might have been snacking on some frozen carcass on the side of the road, but when I drove past he got spooked and flew off. I turned around as fast as I could but these were the only photos I got!

I'm building right now and prices in materials have been dropping and I'd say affordable but I'm doing all the work myself can't speak on prices for contractors

This also just happened at cvu on friday so I wouldn't explicitly blame it on "that area"

" The school’s principal, Joseph Donarum, was put on leave Feb. 11 after repeating offensive language over the building’s intercom system that students had allegedly used during the game "

sorry but LOL this is classic hapless principal

There is no real shortage of trade workers. It’s just that between the 2nd home owners, massive influx of people moving here in the last several years, and a short term rental issue because of so many ski towns, the “locals” are being forced to spend 50% of their income or more on rent, and buying is just out of sight.

It’s so huge!

In Chittenden county they're building like crazy. And it's all being bought up for airbnb or renting out for like $2.5k a month for a one-bedroom. Building isn't the problem.

any word if it's still around today? I might drive up there for a look.

If this is a continuing problem that the school is not addressing then the VPA needs to step up and provide some leadership. If it's coming from the stands and not the players themselves then, at the very least, the school should not be allowed to have spectators for a specified amount of time.

It's actually embarrassing that children are the ones that have to take a stand on this issue since the 'adults' in charge don't seem to be doing enough or taking the matter as seriously as they should.

how far off schedule are you?

I am also building my own house (husband is really) - the costs of EVERYTHING has gone up. Wood, nails, plumbing, windows everything is way more than our initial estimates thanks to Covid. Also delays! Windows taking 4-6 months, an electrical box (specifically required by electric company) on back order for 18 months. Those are some of the things we have dealt with so far.
