NEW CONTACT INFO: own the filter house

Erin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:53:27 +0000

Although it breaks our hearts a little, we’ve put the Filter House on the market. Being a couple of traveling freelancers with a babe on the way, we aren’t able to commit to its renovation, so we’re seeing if some nice people want to adopt the Filter House.

Looking through this blog for the first time in a long time, I realize I really miss upstate NY. It’s beautiful!

We’ve already reduced the property to $29,900.

If you’d like to see the property, please contact me here: erinfierst@gmail.com.

getting wood

Since we’re burning wood for heat (up the mountain, the filter house has no heat), we’ve been driving the truck in the snow and chucking as much wood as we could.

Since it’s more hospitable than the filter house at this point, and it’s available, we’re borrowing a house in the woods from my mom and her partner. Autumn is a misty, spooky, but pretty time up here.

a wholesome landscape?

Snake Hill Sunset

It’s all about sunsets, so here’s snapshots from a recent ride on Snake Hill Road, which I guess is in Walton. It’s hard to tell what town you’re in on these back roads.

Labor Day in Andes

Andes is probably the poshest town in Delaware County. The enjoyable Andes Hotel’s where we recently shared the front porch with a biker gang for some rocking chairs and margaritas.

USA!

East Brook (across the street from the Filter House)

The Filter House is across the street from the East Brook. A bit shallow for swimming, it’s incredible for wading, sitting and laying down, and picture-taking on a hot day. This weekend, we alternated gardening in the sun with dips in the East Brook.
