lol good luck. I'm sure this post will allow you to circumvent the 8000 other people waiting for a contractor and will allow you to build your second home in a years time before people who need first homes. Lemme guess, ya wanna move up here cuz we're so "quaint" and "quiet" and "simple" - well guess what, quaint, quiet, and simple means that you're gonna have to wait for some stuff.

Also i think you're looking for a builder and not a contractor. Similar but different. Most builders are contractors (or have contractors) but not all contractors are builders. Ideally you need someone who is going to coordinate all aspects of permitting, design, and building.

Could do without the rude tone; we all get the locals want to gatekeep Vermont but you honestly know nothing about my family’s background— whether we’re originally from there or not :)

I did say I was looking for a builder. If you have anyone you recommend, let me know. Thanks!

Lol I was being pretty tame but since you’re gonna be like that - I don’t need to know anything about your families background to know that you’re just like everyone else coming here to ruin our real estate for your own good under the guise of wanting to live the VT life all the while not wanting to abide by the facts of life in VT (like not being able to get someone to be at your beck and call to build a house in this current economical/supply chain/manual labor climate).

FWIW I’m really not a VT NIMBY/gatekeeper but your post really rubs me the wrong way and makes me not want to have you as my neighbor.
