The hill town next door — Cardigan Mountain, dirt roads and properties that are genuinely off the beaten track.
Orange is Canaan's neighbor to the north and one of the smallest towns in the county — a few hundred people, a lot of dirt road, and Mount Cardigan filling the skyline. Being this close, it is effectively a home-town call for me.
It is also a town where a lot of contractors simply will not go, because the roads are rough and the houses are far apart.
Properties up here are hard on equipment and hard on driveways. Steep dirt access washes out in spring, culverts plug, brush closes in from both sides, and everything from the mower to the generator has to keep running because there is no quick trip to a service center.
The buildings tend to be a mix of older camps, cabins and self-built additions, which means honest repair carpentry rather than fussy finish work.
I am based in Canaan and Orange is inside the roughly 30-mile radius I work. That means no games about minimum job sizes — but it also means the honest advice is to save up the small things. A list of five items handled in one visit costs you less than five separate trips, and it is a better use of both of our days.
