I want to show some pictures, but even more than that, I want to write more than a sentence or two about some arcane or nerdy little detail that I really care about. I’m not shooting for the lowest common denominator or to grab attention, I want to write for the folks who might be interested.

There’s even a character limit on replies! I hate the idea that one must be so succinct, that every bit of information conveyed must be a little grabby soundbite, not too long or people’s tv conditioned minds will gloss over and tune out.

I came here from instagram and I really want to like bluesky but I just can’t. Honestly, I hate it. It has nothing to do with bluesky as a platform, I like the how and why of its build, I just can’t stand the way information is packaged.

I had just seen this! I am so appreciative and impressed. This sort of action is exactly what we need to make a change. Just going out to vote every two years is far from enough.

We numbered almost a thousand in Waitsfield town, by my count.

I love this poem very much

Re-insulating the ceiling where we were working, using cellulose. That’s it for now. We will be installing new tower and steeple roofs in the spring.

😂 my personal policy is after 5 I can crack a beer. Concrete work is just a multiplier

I haven’t found historic records yet, but considering that the joinery method of the timber frame is square rule, it’s not earlier than 1800. The turn of the century was when square rule was widely adopted. If I had to guess I’d say the house is ~1820. I’ll let you know when I find out!

Yes, and it’s been incredibly helpful. The next big job we get where we open up the roof like this I’m going to buy a 50’x60’ or so free span cover, which we’ll use just like the Europeans do. It’s such a smart idea, and makes things so much more efficient.

I’m really feeling the fuckfuckfuck part of it rn

This right here. Disaster capitalism.

To pull the whole thing down to its components and start over? Oofda

The hooks on the back are to set it on the blade? How much can you carry in it when it’s on the blade?
