I like that idea. PE and I aren't even close to being in the position to buy acreage, but we have talked about it, and what kind of house we might build on the land.

Hmm, ever thought about straw-bale houses?

Yicky poo.

Weatherbug is chirping away...again. 1/2 inch of ice by late afternoon. Winter weather advisory out to 4 pm. Say traveling is hazerdous, if not impossible.

Oh joy!

R-values of 45~50, with a round front door.

To be honest, I don't like the idea of building. Yeah, you can get something the way you like it...but I've heard an awful lot of nightmares about going overbudget and overtime...plus I kinda hate to build yet another house when there are so many up for sale.

But I'm not sure I'd buy one in Vermont, anyway, if I did have enough to buy one. I'd want something rural and somewhere with four seasons...but might not stay up here for the long haul. It's not exactly something I have any right to think about right now anyhow! ;-) But I can dream!
