Chree and I interviewed Sean LaFlam, owner of Goose Creek Builders, at his house in Salisbury, then took him over to Fern Lake for a tour of the Taj Mahal and building site.  That done, we drove up to Middlebury to interview Jarad Moats, President of Structural Energy Corporation (another builder), then went back to Fern Lake with him for a tour.  After lunch at Lynne & Perry’s, we drove down the hill to their next-door neighbor’s house, where we interviewed Bob Hillman of Hillman Construction.  Went over to Fern Lake with Bob for yet another tour.  Returned to Lynne & Perry’s late afternoon to thaw out (the temperature hovered around 0°F all day), then went back to Fern Lake with them to have a wonderful dinner at Marty & Merry’s.  By this time the Tacoma was pretty much on auto-pilot.  Good thing, too, as the snow was starting to really come down.
