All I can say in response is, I understand the objective of your comment, but I wholeheartedly disagree. It is perfectly OK for two adult strangers to negotiate a deal on services for pay.

A BIG “Have cash NEED PLOWING” sign at the end of your driveway. Someone ought to pop up.

My stove runs nonstop all winter. I throw a log in and it lights up within 15 seconds or so.

Pingala, because you don’t feel like a total turd after a decent sized meal.

I’d say you’re lucky to not yet understand why that’s a bad idea. Conditions change around every corner. The hills are steep and class 3 roads are barely usable when the storm has just hit. Even with studded snows, and chains, you’re bound to find yourself in a situation that will have you wishing you stuck to the paved roadways, or home. It seems that with elevated temps this year, paved roads will remain greasy the way we typically see them early and late season. That’s some white knuckle driving alone. Bundle up and take to your feet, or a true snow vehicle.

USPS? You’d be doing the lords work for a small town post…

This is trashy. All sides. Cut it out.

This is just my opinion: I enjoy living in limited cell service. It feels like the time of landline only…

And ME and Canada

No, I was referring to Ascutney Outdoors

You’re going to want to check that they’re not running a tow or lift, which would prevent you from using the hill. Over the last 5 years or so, the ski trails had been hike only, so just about anyone could use them for whatever, but that may have changed for this year…

What about Ascutney? Park at the baselodge and walk uphill as much as you can stand to..

I’ll agree that ‘a thing you love’ as a complete personal identity is the worst kind of person. I suspect that on r/vermont, if one person wants to show off dog photos, it’s basically in open invite for all others to do the same. I don’t think there’s an individual culprit, do you?

OP, despite the devolution in commentary from the peanut gallery, the list compiled in my original text is solid, and are great destinations. Eat a snack before you go out to find a table, and tip your servers well.

You don’t have to like what I said, but it is not incorrect. Stay here a while, you’ll see…

Woodstock is kind of depressing. If you like pretty old houses, it might be worth walking the Main Street, but lookout for contractors and angry locals barreling down the road shooting you dirty looks. This town should be thriving, but instead, building owners are charging a fortune for retail space, forcing small time businesses to pay garbage wages to people who can’t afford to live here. It’s a Disney prop town that’s lost its direction. The Woodstock Inn which is owned by the Rockefeller trust essentially subsidizes the town’s existence, resting on the laurels of their golden days. Take a peek, but don’t believe the hype. This is a shining example of why Vermonters feel they can’t thrive in their own home state. If you’ve got a few million dollars, you can buy a dilapidated Victorian or colonial with a nice paint job over rotted cladding.

If you decide to stop by anyways, here’s what’s to do after your 4 hour stop in Woodstock:

Hall Art Foundation in Reading, Vermont Salvage and Kishka Gallery in White River Junction, Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Marsh Brothers Deli in Lebanon NH, American Precision Museum in Windsor, Quechee Antique Mall in Quechee, Takeout Indian food from Taj-E in White River Junction, Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Cedar Circle Farm in Thetford, Carrier Roasting Co in Northfield.

Restaurants have limited seating, call now for reservations.

By simply calling this morning, the CS rep discovered additional savings. I’d recommend calling and suggesting that your deductions do not look accurate.

Sorry, by ‘read’ in the second sentence, I’m referring to reading the home inspection report.

Great to hire a pro. They’re useful if you actually read them thoroughly, don’t just get swept up into the charm of the old house.

We used https://criterium-lalancette-dudka.com out of Rutland.

If you have a list of things you know you want to redo that might tie into changing utilities layout or floor plan, bring it up. Old houses are much more complicated when it comes to moving things around, and it’s not to be ignored.

Buy once, cry once… my VG’s have last a whole year now, whereas a pair of Kinco’s would last me MAYBE 2 weeks. My Kinco’s would always wear through the fingertips. I bet I’ve saved a couple hundred dollars by now, no kidding. There’s a reason that they are standard issue to GMP linemen.

I like DFL, as in: Dead Fucking Last. Pretty funny for a car plate.
