Just go talk to the zoning admin.

Big bag of rice

Let’s pretend you just hit a crazy frequency that made the jars explode like an opera singer and a wine glass.

I want to move to Vermont and wait by the road for this to happen. Or Wisconsin. Either would work.

Has been for about a month. As soon as they started work on the double diamond crossover thing.

Have also noticed Skip’s place up the hill now price matches their 87 octane - makes me laugh. Poor poor Skip has to limit his price gouging at that maplefields.

Suck that Skip

Gnarley!

It seems like it should be relatively straight forward. but you might have to ask them (the town) what you need to confirm. Some towns are pickier than others for sure. We needed a curb cut permit (there were specifics on like how big the culvert had to be and how wide the driveway had to be at the street), and a permit for the house. I think that was it. The WW permit you already have. The well is already there. Is the barn worth saving? When I think VT barn... I think pretty basic, maybe not great foundation, etc.

The answer to this question is going to entirely depend on the town you’re located in. The zoning ordinance should be available to you (either online or by requesting a copy from the town). It should have instructions on what you need to do.

The state also has a permit navigator https://dec.vermont.gov/permitnavigator which can be helpful in determining any state level permissions you might need.

it was fully finished syrup at about 200F which caused a mason jar to explode and rain glass and syrup all over everything. I figure the lost syrup sets me back $25 which is 1/3 the cost of the mixer.

It was not on, and I am optimistic that it's cleanable, but won't really know until I pop it apart.

A friend was willing to jam during a boil but unwilling to bring any decent gear inside the shack, and rightfully so, so I grabbed the cheapest stuff I had which included a $150 oscar schmidt telecaster clone and an ipad connected to a breaking MIDI kb and we messed around for a while. I only have a short snippet of video recorded which shows my friend's face, so he'd probably rather I not post that, but if we do another session I want to tape more.

We'll find out, I am going to take it apart and clean with distilled water.

I have a 24" 2k monitor, gigabit fiber etc down here. I work from home, and can work from a boil just as easily, it just makes for long days because of startup and shutdown time on the rig :)

Yea, I have gone a little too far with all that on top of vacuum lines and a pump, pretty sure my bucket-and-oil-lamp-using neighbors think I'm a heretic.

I agree. There’s some truth to this. I feel like every story has to contain some sort of social justice component to be allowed to air. I remember recently counting 4 stories about the change in DEI officer in Burlington government! Wtf. VPR is totally out of touch with most Vermonters

Vermont where gays and guns go together 💪 you’re all good 😊

I don't spend a dime at Maplefields, never will.

It would not be Vermont if it was like others states.

Oh forgot. No gay folks in those states. My bad.

Fuck Skip Vallee

instructions unclear..... IPA didn't working going to try a DIPA :)

All the homies hate Skip Valle

I dont know stan, or have enough info to judge. Im sure he also enjoyed a nice tax increase. Theres always two sides to a story.

I am highly suspicious of claims that Act 250 is the biggest culprit when the housing crisis is a national phenomenon informed by a number of factors of our economic system and social policies. As of some 2017 data I found, normalized to population size, Vermont isn't even in the top 10 worst off states..

I am not saying Act 250 is not a factor, because obviously it fits squarely in with "our economic system and social policies", but a generic blanket of blame is not called for either, especially with the weak "might be" qualifier. That said, I'm also not sure how much it even applies to this story, because there was only one mention of Act 250 in it, and in a more neutral context that did not look to assign blame to it.
