Why OwlCrest

OwlCrest is 40 acres of granite laden beautiful woods atop a mountain in Brattelboro, Vermont. I purchased the land with the intent of making it a retreat where my children, families, and their families could re-connect with the most primitive elements of life. OwlCrest is a place to discover our hidden talents and pursue dreams without complexity or judgement. OwlCrest is a place just to be.....

At dusk, if you sit quietly long enough at the crest of the land and listen, you will hear the rhythms of the forest. Owls calling out their names and asking who else is there. I'm here and who are you? We are just a visitor here, a temporary custodian of something that will soon be forgotten. I lived and worked here once. It was my privilege.

Electric Service is Installed

 The hardest job so far next to digging the cellar hole was installing and burying the conduit for the electrical service.   The cable alone weighed 350 pounds and was all Seth and I could do to drag it in place.  We laid the cable and then slid and glued the conduit over it.  Glad that this job is behind us.

    Electrical cable is a killer these days - I'm running 250' of aluminum to my tiny home/guest house because copper is outrageous. Spent last weekend digging endpoints for what will be ~400' of trenches next weekend with the chain trencher on the Bobcat - sewer, electric, water, data. Glad to see you're making progress on the house! - JT
