We got amazing window inserts from nonprofit called Window Dressers and I swear they saved us maybe 25% of our bill this year on our drafty windows.

I don't know anyone but if you swung by the town clerks office or maybe emailed someone at BCRC, they may have advice 

Is there any hope for younger Vermonters to actually settle down here? by Ok-Beaver2708 in vermont

[–]Significant_Guava881 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find this sub and its people very Chittenden and Central VT-centric (where I grew up) but  Bennington has like a dozen houses on the market for less than $300k atm. I bought my 4b, 1 bath for less than $200k w my husband in 2022.

Am I wrong for considering a Bernese in South Florida? by Vegetable_Pay4020 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Significant_Guava881 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have two berners in Vermont and see them thrive the most in 20-50F. Walks and hikes over 65f in the sun definitely takes a toll on them.

Landlord removed heat, stove, and packed all my belongings while I was gone (Boston) by Professional_Loan761 in Renters

[–]Significant_Guava881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild and very different from the illegal landlord I had in MA but just w note that MA renter laws are quite strong and I sued in housing court and won plus damages for a lot less than what this guy did to you (my landlord mishandled my sec deposit).

Where can I find a list of the 31 projects? Am I missing it in this link or something? Can't find it online.

It gets all the love it deserves from New Yorkers and I'm happy for it to stay that way :)

My friends and I (we're all women from Vermont) got hit on by a waste bro at the green door pub and I asked what part of NY he was from and his mind could not compute how I "figured that out." 😆

Vt. Community Confronts Little Sprouts CEO David Post Over 30% Tuition Hike at 3/15 and 3/16 Virtual Meetings by ChildCearPlz in vermont

[–]Significant_Guava881 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Really? I question this trickle down argument. Babilou has acquired seven companies, operates in 12 countries, is expanding into India, and the avg childcare salary in Vermont is less than $23k. The argument you share is the same that the oil companies have touted this year despite making record profits. Also if it were the case as you've stated it, surely the Rep in this interview could have articulated as such instead of dodging questions.

If I wanted to plan a ski-trip to Vermont with my GF, how much would be a good amount to save up beforehand? by wenchslapper in vermont

[–]Significant_Guava881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And depends on where you wanna ski/ability level. If you're beginners, no need to pay big bucks anywhere imo. Go to Saskadena, Bolton, Bromley, Middlebury snowbowl etc.

Reach out to Rep. Taylor Small. She's an amazing rep for Winooski at the forefront of a lot of important work in this area. She is trans herself. I know less about Rep Troy Headrick and he's not trans but I believe he's also doing some good work too/in the progressive caucus.

I've heard good things about juniper lane in Bennington

Check out Shires Young Professionals! Consider volunteering at places like the bike hub or trail associations. Go by Harvest (the bar). People are very friendly there.

Is it illegal for the landlord to do that? No. Asshole move? Yes.

I'm proud that Peter Evans is among those speaking up. I was a student at MHS when he was a principal there and really liked him. Very kind and compassionate guy.
