Teachers Build Modern Sailbox House In Shaftsbury Hollow
Shaftsbury teachers Bob Howe and Dave Jareckie build a 28 by 20 foot post and beam saltbox style home on speculation. With Howe’s sons helping, the two first time builders use mortise and tenon joints, open interior, and a sleeping loft with views of the Taconic hills. Costs are rising, and they plan no buyer yet, enjoying the process.
