It's been a while so I thought a general message was in order. I haven't forgotten this sailboat site,or, that it is a sailboat site. Because so, I'll keep it brief.

Things haven't slowed down one bit here with work and the house taking all of our time and money. There was a list of projects that had to be done before winter and a recent cold snap followed by an early snow threw a monkey wrench in the machine. It isn't going to stick around but the furnace now takes priority over the dash coat on the stucco. I have been in the shop recreating some trim pieces and profiles and what not but not a lick of boat work. It hurts to see her there and not do anything more than run my hand along the curves and admire the inherent beauty in front of me. The pangs are only eased by knowing this house fits into the master plan as a home base and income for future cruising. And this house is a beauty in its own right too weighing in with little more than 700 sq.ft. per floor. As a household we are trying to decrease our footprint more and more and liking it. Like so many have said before, with everything we "give up" it seems we get so much more back.

Once the snow comes to stay we will have a chance to filter through the myriad of pictures and find some that will hopefully capture the character of this house and post one or two. Until then, we must press on...

Everyone, keep posting and adding pictures and links to this site.
