To the editor:
“The Catskill Project,” the sustainable home development near Livingston Manor has been in the news a lot lately. As well it should be. It’s a bold and interesting new concept of home with a focus on energy efficiency utilizing the latest in building technology to create houses that are super efficient to heat and cool thereby leaving a very small imprint on our environment.
Being a builder myself I couldn’t wait to attend the open house for the “Balsam”, the model home of the project. I was made aware of the complex systems and features that went into its construction from my nephew, Terrance Fink, and his dad Teb, who built it. While there I admired the crispness of the minimal moldings and the attention to detail and congratulated Buck Moorhead, the architect whose vision Terrance and his dad translated into reality.
But sad to say, in all the feature articles I’ve read about the project, as well as a lengthy ribbon cutting ceremony featuring the project owners and local politicians, no one so far has once mentioned or gave credit to the builders whose hard work made it all possible.
