It's been an exciting week!

A big thank you to everyone who attended the home building seminar last Thursday during the "arctic freeze."  Luckily the roads weren't bad, but it was unbelieveably cold.  We had folks from VT, Lewis, Gabriels, Saranac Lake...needless to say, they had a little drive.  But the pizza and conversation was great!

It was one of the most lively question and answer periods I could remember.  I'd love to say it was because of the awesome prizes I gave out to those brave enough to speak up- but I think there were just some great questions out there.  And as always, everyone benefits from that.  There might be a question you didn't event think to ask!

So if you were busy, or just now thinking about building there will be another session on March 21st- as always 6pm at Dino's Pizza.

And the excitement continues this week.  Our new ranch modular is in Oneonta as I write this.  Unfortunately, it was supposed to ship on Monday but there was an ice storm in PA so there was a slight delay.  And the "set" was scheduled for today- but that has been pushed back until tomorrow.  It wasn't safe to drive under those conditions, so even though it would have been really nice for the guys to work in 49 degree weather today, it wasn't meant to be.  Safety first.

We expect it will then take several weeks of finish and then cleaning and decorating before she makes her official debut but I will put construction photos and updates in the blog and on facebook so everyone will get a glimpse early!

In this business, there is never a dull moment!  Just how I like it!

New beginnings

Happy new year!  This is the time of year that we reflect on the past year and hope to improve in the next.  We are always very excited to start the new year off with a home building seminar.  Often times it is the largest, best attended one of the year.  Even though the North Country is under a blanket of snow, if you want to be enjoying your new home this summer- crazy as it sounds- you must start now.

The seminar will be on January 24th starting at 6pm at Dino's Pizza.  There is no cost to attend, but please RSVP so we can save you a seat!

Another new beginning for us this year, is we have a new model coming in.  As you may know, our brown ranch modular left for its forever home in Fairfax VT the fall and it is where it was meant to be.  Surrounded by trees and other lovely homes, it looks like it has always been there.

So after long and careful consideration about building trends, and what our customers have been as king for- I think we nailed it!  The new home is just under 1600 sf, a very nice size.  It will have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms- including an amazing master bedroom, bathroom, and walk in closet with closet organzier (I've gone to heaven!!)  It has a formal foyer and a cheery front kitchen both spacious and practical with lots of cabinetry.  There is a great room in which we have cornered a gas burning fireplace with TV mounts above.  And it also has an end entry with lots of storage, perfect to add a garage.

We expect the home to arrive the last week of January and then we will need several weeks to complete it, but we expect it to be ready to make its debut on or before our March open house!
