As daylight savings overtakes us, it is time to fall back into the PANTRY for ingredients and recipes of yummy soups and breads and other comforting cold weather foods. Many of our homes rely on pantries for storing these unctuous items but they also allow us to store unsightly appliances like refrigerators and toasters and free up space on the south walls for windows instead of overhead cabinets. The storage lost to these wonderful windows that provide important daylighting, needs to be made up elsewhere. At Garland Mill that elsewhere often means handy open shelving in a small pantry.

Day of Business
Monday, we met as a full company for our annual Day of Business to review the year gone by and to think together about the year ahead. We are currently in a run of accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and small house projects, so we took time to do a fun exercise led by Matt and Molly to design an ADU on graph paper and build a model of it with wooden sticks. Molly divided folks up into teams of two and we went at it. It was a lot of fun to see all of the different creative ideas that sprung from the exercise and it was entertaining to work with a randomly chosen team member that we might not regularly collaborate with.

After the ADU exercise we shifted to our Annual Coop meeting where Ben and Crystal shared the Budget to Actuals from last year and submitted the annual budget for fiscal year 2026/27 (our fiscal year runs from July 1st to June 30th). Coop Accountant Michael Jones and Benefits Director John Abrams were on hand via zoom to work with us to understand the intricacies of tax policy and Patronage Accounting.

After the annual meeting we enjoyed lunch together and then went bowling with Ella in her new Garland Mill onesie. All in all a very satisfying and productive day.

Accessibility is a key feature of Garland Mill homes. We ensure that all of our projects have a stepless entry, a first-floor bedroom and bathroom and a first-floor stepless shower. It's just good design. Retrofitting access to existing homes is just as important but often requires some creative thinking. Here is an example of just such a project. This home in Dalton has a fun history as an old train station in a previous life, moved from Whitefield and set on an old stone foundation. Getting folks in and out of the house without steps proved a trick, but with some creative design and framing, we were able to do it. The mezzanine forms a nice area for the homeowners to relax in the evening over a cold drink and a game of checkers.

As the fall colors come to a close, it's fun to look back on a barn project in Sheffield from a few years back. The summer flowers hint at the coming fall in some of these shots. Great pine timberframe, woodshop, guest room, kitchenette and office space. Ideal for family and friends and the occasional work call or furniture project. This barn also serves as home to an 18 kW solar array with back up batteries that serves both the barn and the home.

More fun pictures of eastern white cedar shingles on the Randolph project. We use a lot of eastern white cedar center match tongue and groove for exterior and interior cladding. Randolph has a long tradition tied to the White Mountains of eastern white cedar shingles on their homes so it is fun to play into that here with this addition. If you look carefully you can see the fall creeping in to the photos… been an especially colorful one hasn’t it?

23 Ammonoosuc Street

If you’re at the Schilling Octoberfest in Littleton this weekend, you’re only a brisk walk away from a large building we renovated in 2018-19. Easy to recognize now with its huge sunflower mural up the facade, 23 Ammonoosuc was once a building that sat dormant for some time, hiding its many old New England architectural additions and surprises from anyone giving it a glance from the outside.
We helped turn it into a warm and comfortable space for some great businesses. Inside you can find the innovative WMSI folks (White Mountains Science, Inc.); the artsy Littleton Studio School which has classes for aspiring potters, jewelry makers, and more; and an amazing yoga studio on the top floor with a unique view of the Ammonoosuc River 5 stories below!
It was a joy to bring this building back to life. The completed project included a whole roof full of solar panels and the entire building runs solely on electricity, including public car charging.
Lastly, don’t miss the granite terraced lawn on the backside–it abuts the Ammonoosuc and is a perfect place to enjoy fall weather!

This summer we are building an exciting addition to an already striking existing home. The focus of this space is glass, and its ability to bring the views of nature into the activities of daily life. To that end we have just installed six floor to ceiling windows and a grand sliding door, all triple paned for thermal comfort in the hot and cold seasons. Next to come: White oak finishes inside and out.
