I wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions. Because this was an emergency fix, I ended up having Manny Pacheco do the work. He did excellent work and was able to complete it in a very timely fashion.
Does anyone have a recommendation for contractors for small additions and residing.

Ryan Norman Builders(978) 833-7337 did our $200K home addition and he was absolutely fantastic in every way possible. My wife and I vetted nearly a dozen general contractors for our project before deciding on Ryan Norman and we couldn't have been happier. He was extremely reasonable price wise, with excellent communication skills, and completed the project on time with minimal delays. His work is impeccable and his sub-contractors were a pleasure to work with as well. Due yourself the biggest favor of your life and call him. You'll be so glad you did.

CSAs: I don't have all the contact info on hand, but you can google these easily: Middle Earth Farm and Heron Pond Farm, both in Amesbury, have CSAs and stands at the Newburyport Farmers Mkt. Also check out Cider Hill Farm (Amesbury) for great orchards and vegetables, and a really cool place called The Herb Farmacy in Salisbury for potted herbs, tomato plants, etc. The Farm at Eastman's Corner (corner of Rt 150 and 107 in Kensington, just "up the road" from Cider Hill) is dedicated to selling local produce and prepared foods, wine, etc. and has fresh raw milk for sale. These places also sell eggs and some sell honey too. Hope that's a good start!
Julie S. replied:
Send me your email and I'll send along an article I wrote about the CSAs in the area. It covers growing practices, pick up style, etc. For example Heron Pond adheres to organic growing practices while Cider Hill uses integrated pest management where restricted use pesticides are used. Middle Earth Farm in Amesbury is WONDERFUL and only dropped their organic certification due to the beaucracy of it all.
Nannci W. replied:
Ditto what Julie said…Richard at Middle Earth is a gifted grower whose veggies are the best!

Raw milk: Artichoke Dairy in W Newbury (Colby Farm Stand in Newbury also carries Artichoke milk) or Pelton Farm Stand in Hampton Falls (on rt 1)
Nannci W. replied:
Artichoke Dairy also supplies fresh milk for Wolf Meadow Farm, the Italian cheese maker in Amesbury.
Julie S. replied:
Better yet, here's a link to the CSA article. www.wholelifemom.com/2014/02/23/its-almost-that-time-of-year-local-csa-options/. If you're concerned about GMOs just a word of caution regarding local dairies. I haven't found one that doesn't supplement their feed with GMO feed. Hopefully they'll start moving in that direction.
Anybody know a brilliant builder/contractor I can call today?
Pat G. replied:
The Country Carpenter, Topfield - Chuck Southward. He has done a couple of renovations in our house and is great. Attention to detail is amazing and his subs are the same way. He's usually pretty busy but probably worth checking with him. His email chucksouthard@verizon.net. Be sure to tell him I referred you.
