Our thermometer in Hebron this winter has ranged anywhere from -17º to 30º but that’s not as bad as

our friends in Maine going down to -40º. We keep on saying that’s ok, spring is on its way and it is a

time of new beginnings. That phrase “new beginnings” gives hope to us in this economy that has been

up and down and taking all of us on a roller coaster ride. In 35 years of business we have been blessed

to ride these ups and downs with a product that is pure New England.

One thing we have always tried to do while designing and building these beautiful barns is to show

some restraint just as our ancestors would have. Proportions, size and lines of the barn along with the

ability of creating charm and warmth is lost in a lot of today’s buildings.

A sustainable lifestyle is also a good thing in today’s economy. You can still have the affordable barn

of your dreams by showing restraint and keeping the project practical. We don’t always have to outdo

our neighbors with bigger building projects. Thinking practically and maintaining an eye for buildings

that compliment the countryside benefits us all and is a worthy goal. That’s where we can help. We not

only have large barns but small ones too. As you look at us on-line at www.countrycarpenters.com or

thumb through our catalog we know you can find that workshop, garage or storage space and not sacri-

fice charm and beauty.

Something we have been working on for 2009 is a barn home. We have had many folks say, “I could

live in this barn,” and soon you will be able to. Another thing we have in the works is at Early New

England Homes by Country Carpenters. Some folks have walked through our model home and said

“this is beautiful, are there other styles available?” We tell them that along with our cape we offer a

saltbox, colonial, gambrel and now in 2009 a smaller version of our 1750 model home. The beautiful

proportions of this timeless classic is a sustainable primary home or a home away from home on that

piece of land you have always wanted to build on.

We know that 2009 will be a year to remember. We hope the memories will be filled with family,

friends and good health.

Hi Leslie

Find enclosed….pictures of our barn. It was

constructed in April…. It is heated and wired.

We had our Christmas eve dinner in the barn

(family tradition—about 60 years)

The barn is my wife’s & mine pride and joy. It

is a work shop, a storage area for my antique

cars ( 1956 jeep CJ-5 and my 1931 Model “A’

Ford) and a storage area for lawn equipment.

Yours truly

John F.

Dear Bill:

What a pleasant surprise to hear from Country

Carpenters.

The Name Plate (supplied by Country Carpen-

ters) is handsome and we plan to place it on the

outside of our handsome building. Typical of

your organization you included the screws.

When the building was in progress with your

two men and my two men, it was most exciting to

see how quickly and how beautifully all of the

pieces fit together. This building has received

much admiration from local people.

We have been hopeful to find another building

that we can collaborate on with Country Car-

penters. We now believe we may have found one.

Kindest personal regards,

Robert H.
