It’s ready!
Starter at 7pm at 200F. Just turned the heat up to 400 to roast the skin with basting every 10 minutes.
Just got back from the house. We’re ready for foundation footings on Friday and Saturday, Concrete pour on Monday!

Photos of my house before the foundation footings get poured tomorrow:
Recognizing the 2024 AirPods Max are identical to the 2020 AirPods Max in every way except USB-C charging, my 2020 battery was pretty much shot, I had ear crackling issues and it’s my LAST LIGHTNING DEVICE so I’m not fully migrated to USB-C for $175 out the door and have a new AppleCare+ …
Purchased Sky Blue AirPods Max for $49906/10/2021. 4.5 years later, I’ve upgraded to the USB-C version in Orange. $399 (Black Friday price) -$95 (BestBuy points after buying my iPhone) -$130 (BestBuy Trade in AirPods Max) =$175 upgrade pricing Includes 2 years of AppleCare w/ Best Buy Total
Work gave everyone thanksgiving gifts this year. I chose a fresh turkey from Misty Knoll farm. 18 pounder processed within the last 5 days. Very exciting! It’ll be brined tonight.
Weekend in Burlington Vermont. Nice to get away for an evening among all of the work and upending our lives into boxes for the next few months.

Slowly coming together. Wall is done. time for the rest of the yard to get dug up.
Wall is almost done. Foundation dig is about 90% done. Should be done with both by Wednesday -
I’m going to upload a video every week of the construction. Aiming fir Monday showcasing previous week’s work - www.youtube.com/watch Weeks 1 and 2 will be site work and maybe we’ll have some concrete forms setup by end of this week.
The crews were out at 7:30AM. All of the downed trees have ben hauled away and they are going to finish the foundation dig out by this afternoon.
Taught PMP classes all weekend. Great group (all west coasters so I ended at 9PM both days). This concludes my 7 straight weeks of working with no days off. Now I get 4 weeks without classes and I’m fully setup at the in-laws while the house continues to be torn apart.
A few photos of today’s progress so far.
LOTS going on today. We dropped 5 trees, one was over 100' tall, almost 4 feet away from digging out the foundation back and just need to go down 3 feet now, half of the rock wall is built!
Day 3 progress.
