We bought most of our siding and deck wood online. Even trucked up from Louisiana, it cost far less than buying it locally. However, when Paul decided to add on an extended deck, which was a great idea, we matched the long-distance wood with wood from 84 Lumber in Dryden. Well, guess which wood lasted? Our feet went right through the deck in several places this spring. Paul is patching with leftover LA lumber, but when we can afford it, we'll go with Trex or another recycled synthetic.
In other projects, we're having the most horrible portion of the driveway redone, and Paul has found a guy to do the initial framing for the barn and leave the rest of the work for him. Now if I just had more work, we could afford all these little projects.
Hilarious, yet terribly sad. The new and improved logo for NY tourism, part of a $15 million/year campaign, is as shown here. The object was to suggest that NY is more than just NYC.

The IJ today published an op-ed from a dual Canadian/U.S. citizen, comparing both health care systems and finding Canada's greatly preferable. It's a very intelligent, clear-eyed discussion of a subject that usually devolves into partisan blather.
