Well,it appears that you made the long calculus from Utah to Vermont. And we from the photos that you've opted for a simpler canvas design this time around. How are the bugs! They're biting and chewing around here like mad thanks to all the moisture. You too must be water logged. The rains this spring have been tremendous. Not to mention all the clouds (it;s beginning to feel more like home in Western Washington than New England these days).

To our surprise, we won a full subscription to Fine Homebuilding so we enjoyed seeing your Salt Lake City kitchen in print with our first issue. You must be thrilled! And the attention should be a nice addition to your portfolio since you're now a couple of pros.

Congratulations on a job VERY well done.

We ourselves are heading back to the Pacific Northwest (home!) and are eager to get busy on the next project, whatever it turns out to be.

And we will look forward to reading more about your latest house too.

Take care, stay dry and enjoy!

Shawn & Jamie
