    Modern 2nd Floor Addition & Garage

    We sold right before the market was flooded with all the properties which had mortgage deferrals because of the pandemic. Had we waited a few more weeks we would likely have been down 100-120K. New place is on 2 acres with a forest behind which is full or trails for cross country skiing...

    Not much to report. We have been dealing with plumbing / backup issues sewage issues. A dip in the pipe under the footings for the front wall / garage has reared its ugly head. We havent ever had issues with plumbing in the past so something happened during the excavation/ construction phase...

    It is a galvanized steel with a "wood" look alike texture on the one side. we chose this so it would be maintenance free (and I dont want to go up to the peak to sand / stain every couple of years.
