 Greetings!
I hope these words find you well and enjoying the
summer. This issue of Constructive Images includes
informative pieces on porches and sunrooms and
living off the grid, a profile on our good friend
Bruce Pacht from the Twin Pines Housing Trust, and a
description of two recent Trumbull-Nelson projects.
Living off the grid is becoming increasingly popular
these days, and it’s just about as common here in
the Upper Valley as it is anywhere. The traditional
motive behind living off the grid and/or building
with “green” principles in mind is concern for the
environment, but as you’ll see on
page 7, there are economic reasons as well.
Soon Trumbull-Nelson will be embarking on the Gile
Community Housing Project, which is being designed
with both environmental and economic issues as top
priorities. In the article on Bruce Pacht (in which
we barely scratch the surface of the good work Bruce
has done in his life) we touch on this project,
because Bruce and the Twin Pines Housing Trust have
played a key role in bringing it to fruition.
The Trumbull-Nelson projects we discuss in this
issue highlight our Millwork Shop and Design/Build
services. The massive interior restoration we
performed within a Lake Sunapee retreat put the
Trumbull-Nelson millwork team to the test; and the
construction of the riding arena and stable at Birch
Hill Farm has allowed us to take a project from
conception to completion. Both of these projects
would not have been possible without the hard work
and outstanding leadership of project managers Dave
Harrison, Ken Merrow, and Ed Friedman, and their
respective crews and subcontractors.
At Trumbull-Nelson we feel very lucky to be made up
of leaders at every level. As a result, our Company
is committed to responsible building practices,
serving the community, and working with other local
leaders. We will continue to stay in touch as we
strive to fulfill the building needs of northern New
England. We hope you’ll do the same.
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts!
