Pamela and David Howard

Pete has known them since the mid 1970's, when he had the post and beam house built on Woodmont Road, Hopewell Junction.

David advertised in Yankee Magazine and Pete was the second person to answer his ad.

Pete and I lived in the little house, but we outgrew it; we needed more space, larger rooms, all those middle class things. So we had Dave design the addition. Dave does have a great sense of humor and on the plans that we would have to get approved by an engineer, he drew a tugboat in one of the bays of the garage. Pete took the plans to the engineer, and the engineer threw the plans back to Pete. David's style was not appropriate for him!

We found someone else to put his seal on the plans.

David and Pamela spend some of the winter in Hollywood, Florida and the rest of the year in Walpole, NH. We were glad they had the time to come south to spend a day with us. David's website is http://www.firstdaycottage.com/
