Hello from Virginia….. We have been blessed with a lot of projects so far this year, up and down the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Florida.  It fascinates me that quite a number of clients are building family legacy compounds where they want to gather their loved ones for generations to come…either on land they […]

Hello All (from Italy)– It has been way too long since I last wrote a year ago and so much has happened this year that it will be a challenge to recapitulate in this single email…but here is an earnest effort regardless.  I want to share some transition and succession plans within Geobarns, some glorious structures

Writing from our project & home in Italy (snow mountain photo)…. It has been quite a half year since the last post in June of 2023…with Ryan as our CEO and David and Casey full time ably supported by Sean and Kelly–we are becoming an efficient team and have had a good year.  Attached you

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

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.  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
