It has been well over three months since the last post–and I must say this has been the most intense, difficult, rewarding and challenging time I can remember since beginning Geobarns almost 30 years ago. Part of it is the post pandemic building boom–with its perfect storm of pent up demand, ex-urban migration, less travel …

We have had an eventful year—both professionally and personally…and with the two winter holidays on the weekends the hiatus has provided some time to rest and reflect…too rare an occurrence these days. We have been blessed with a huge amount of work which we anticipate will carry us through the winter…not only in NY, VA, …
Hello All— It has been a woefully long interval since the last post—five months and a day to be exact….mostly a commentary on my being too busy and neglecting the important for the urgent. Business was incredibly slow this spring—with nothing getting in ground and then piling up into the summer backlog with everyone trying …
Last Sunday—just before I got here—the private venue church we have been building in Crozet—had their first service Easter morn….as forecast by the local paper a few weeks prior.
