Now–almost another year later–I am in Italy hoping to finish our project here in the next few months. It has been quite a year…my dad is still alive and reasonably healthy at 103 years old and living in a Geobarn addition attached to my son’s home in Concord VT for this last chapter of his […]

Sadly–and with many of you remonstrating over the lack of any recent posts–it has been almost a year since I last wrote. There have been some profound shifts in both my personal and Geobarn landscapes since last summer–many of them good but also difficult.

We have been blessed with a huge amount of work which we anticipate will carry us through the winter…not only in NY, VA,

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. Needless to say, this was the fruit of years of labor by our clients and countless others seeking to plant a church closer to home for

It has been some time since I wrote a post—indicative of lots of travel, some strain in keeping up with the weather, and plowing through not only manifold snowfalls but also new projects along with those we barely got in ground before further excavation became impossible for now… We have about eight jobs going….finishing up
