The ice machine provides many options; including measured cold water.

The Kitchen comes together perfectly.

Pavers Put to the Test

During the intense thunderstorm last week

The water on the paved driveway flowed like a river to the street.

Stone Soup

For Starters: 14 Yards of Crushed Stone


Driveway Time!

Over 600 square feet of driveway and walkway to be installed.
To remove: over 7 dump truck loads of soil.
Luckily, we had 2 Winooski locals looking for clean fill.

Jake spends an entire day loading dirt into
Pete's dump truck, while Jen dumps the loads.

The Kitchen and Great Room Come Together

Quartz Countertop being installed


The finished Countertop and the built-in bookcase staining in progress.
