Every year for some six years now readers of Taunton Press’ Fine HomeBuilding Magazine 
who participate in the online forum there known as Breaktime get together each summer in the spirit of friendship and good cheer at what has come to be known as a “Fest”. For the Summer 2006 I was the host for the gathering of some 50 something fine home building professionals, fine home building enthusiasts, and their families.
The three day gathering saw the exchange of ideas and building techniques through some planned presentations as well as the informal banter that took place from the morning each day on late into the evening.
