Still not cold.

Could they not have eliminated the word “mountain” from all of these?

Do you have kids? Are schools an issue?

Do you think the balance is good now?

Brooooo calm down it’s a quote from the office

I guess you’re probably wearing shorts today and tomorrow as well as next week. Don’t forget the sunscreen

Just before the Church Street marketplace was put in.

People seemed to really like driving old cars back in the day, huh? Saw some black and white photos and those guys were driving, like, crazy old cars that you rarely ever see today. If that trend keeps up, then maybe some day a few decades from now we'll even be driving the cars of the future! Really makes you think...

Are you pouring your concrete into the bottom of the hole as a footing? Or are you going to pour it around the posts? If the second, are you going to use sono tubes to pour your concrete into? The reason I ask, is because frost needs to get under something to lift it, if you pour concrete directly into a dug hole it takes the shape of that cavity, giving the frost ample opportunities to latch onto all the inconsistencies of the rough surface. So even if the post is 4’ deep the frost could grab onto the rough concrete at 6” and still lift your post. If your assembly has a smooth outer surface the frost can’t lift it unless it can actually get under the bottom of it. All that said, I would not advise the use of concrete to backfill pressure treated posts to begin with. But if you’re going to do it, at least use sono tubes.

The state says it declined from 2011 -2019 and then bounced up… because covid. Sometimes two data points don’t really tell the whole story.

Pretty cool.

I expected Rama to post this drivel, but he’s apparently gone away.

It’s not really a good report.

It starts by picking on how people dress for a family photo and gets more pathetic from there.

John Walters is washed up, seeing a right wing threat around every corner.

He was forced to resign/fired from Seven Days for a lack of accuracy. Let that sink in. Forced to resign because he couldn’t be accurate while reporting on politics.

We can all do better.

Is there a resource for the school board candidates goals and cv?? Front porch forum is informative, but not very comprehensive.

Drives me up a wall when people use unexplained acronyms.

Your opening statement is easily refuted with a simple google search. Population leveled off between 2000 and 2020 but still increased by around 15,000 residents.

8' 4x4 just needs to go down 2' or a little more to match up with the top rail of your fence panel.

24 inches is plenty for corners and 18 inches in between corners

moo house? back in my day we just called it a barn

FWIW Vermont ranks 25th for public lands In the country

What a difference between then (traffic on Church St) and now! I recall the outcry about "where are my customers going to park?" Now the volume of shoppers is soooo much greater. Not sure why other places don't catch on.

Norwich is especially competitive as the feed into the Hanover, NH school district, which is one of the highest rated in the state. The area is loaded with million dollar plus homes, and even the teachers' average salary is 97k annually.

From right to left you have a Fiesta, Subaru, Datsun 210 (maybe), Chevette, Cadillac, and a big Ford Wagon the best I can tell.

Hadn't even considered that as a potential opportunity. So to follow that thought trend: I'm a developer who (qualifications for these state funded grants not yet known based on the linked article alone) gets state funding and re-zones a 5 acre swatch of farm land into multiple 2,480 square foot homes (median home size in the U.S according to Google). As it stands now nothing would stop me from turning this into a multi-unit STR community.

​

This all really feeds back into my original thought which was what will the gatekeeping be to qualify for these subsidies from a developer perspective and measures to lock out these becoming STR immediately.

I lived on the second floor of the white building the following year!!!!

The tourists can go fuck themselves, I want it pretty for me and mine.
