Thank you for the compliments....happy to help. The roofing is GAF Camelot in Aged Oak. It is a 50 yr roof which we wanted as we have mounted solar panels on top in the back and wanted the roof to last longer than the panels. The stone on the front is real new england field stone that has been sawn thin like a veneer. I don't know what grout the mason used, but I told him I wanted the joints tight tight tight. It's a lot more work that way, but it makes a huge difference in terms of the look of the stone. The stone came from stoneyard.com. The siding is certainteed cedar impressions vinyl. All the trim is azek trim and then there are just touches of standing seam copper roofing as accent. Hope that helps!

Thank you all so much! I don't think I've ever gotten as many wonderful cards and best wishes for my birthday ever. You've all helped make it so special for me. Thank you...you are the cat's pajamas!

We are still without power in Rockland County NY. So saddened by those without generators loosing their freezer/fridge foods. Near us are wires hanging like a pound of pasta along one near stretch of road. (that road was blocked off until this morning). DH stopped counting... I have a personal hot-spot for internet. Includes family. Set it up last year during an outage and took 20minutes. So worth it, so that is an option. Necessary for Zoom meetings. It gives us full internet access. We set up a charging station in our front yard, ran a heavy duty power cord to our closest new neighbors with young children. Canceled a food order so we could fit some of their freezer foods in our big upright. (we have plenty). Fortunately the weather is pleasant.

Love the Cuisinart history John! That's another plus of CF, the great stories behind the food! Sorry I went all dyslexic on your last name. Spelling is not my forte . . . or typing. Am I the only one who's brain has gone to pot this year? It's not the pandemic, it's anxiety watching so many leaders act like that jerk in high school with the smart aleck comments that everyone thought was cool and you were happy to leave behind for adulthood when you graduated. Not someone I'd trust my future to then or now . . . The Cuisinart now lives under my stove on the groovy pull out shelf hubs made for me, keeping company with baking trays, a splatter guard, a pizza stone and my pizza pans, a metal salad spinner, a large pot and some random lids. I use it for cutting in butter for pie crusts and scones, for hummus, cheese spread, vegetarian bean-and-nut-based sauces, and pesto, to name some of the most popular uses. Annie I'm saving the seeds from the Tasmanian chocolate ones. They are salad tomatoes with great flavor. I was skeptical but I really like them. Kind of like a Costoluto Genovese but more productive and healthier. I haven't had success with Costoluto Genovese in the past although a colleague of mine from work got a bountiful and beautiful harvest. It may have been because I grew mine in a pot, which it was not suited for. The Tasmanian Chocolates did very well in pots. Not as tall or leggy as the CG.
