All:

With snow on the ground, and decent weather planned for Saturday, we’ll burn the brush at our new duplex site on Tonella Road in Milford. Please bring  chainsaws, etc. as available – can’t burn anything >5-in diameter (but can remove any suitable as firewood). Directions from NH-101 overpass over NH-101A (Nashua Street, at the Amherst / Milford line):

Continue west on NH-101A W/Nashua St. 1.5 mi  to

Left (just before County Store) onto TONELLA RD.  0.2 mi  to

Left to house site on east side of the road

Thanks for responses to date on new parking area for the HFH truck. It should soon have its new home…

Also, still looking for a storage area suitable for donated windows and bathroom toilets / sinks. These would go into the Milford duplex, meaning that we’d want storage from mid-December through early next fall when they would go into the duplex. Will also be looking for volunteers to help move these items from Bedford.

Upcoming events:

Building permits and temporary power, Milford lot.

Spring excavation / foundation support for Tonella Road, Milford – seeking donations / deals.

Other small projects being coordinated.
