had about 5 larger dead trees to take down - i took down two myself but then hired sara & ken at the Garden Center/Reliable Labor (www.facebook.com/gardencentervt) to hit the three biggest ones. took them about 45 minutes to down them and have em all cut up.
these are the actual containers i'm getting. pretty decent price, delivered from New Hampshire. went with Grade A - which means they are water tight, but have some rust. Considering I am bound by the association covenants specifically about house color - i need to paint anyway. going this route saves me about $800. will be leaving all the labels on the doors for sure.
anyone who knows me well knows all the ink i have marks special milestones along my journey. I traveled to NYC's Red Rocket Tattoo to see Erica Flannes (www.instagram.com/ericaflannes) who's done work on me previously in Jackson, Mississippi and New Orleans. I've long wanted this patent drawing of Edison's lightbulb for a while. with the land purchase and freeing myself of a toxic relationship - it was totally time for new ink.
ive long been intersted in using Techno Metal Posts for the foundation. Zach LaPorte came to check out the land today and do some test drilling. I'll also be getting some quotes on a slab foundation. gotta go the cheapest route.
these free plans and renderings serve as the stepping off point of what i am building. Will be modifying things such as the foundation, and windows. and i'll have a lot more deck space.
