Plainfield, Meriden village and the farm country along Route 12A above the Connecticut River.
Plainfield and its Meriden village sit south of Lebanon in the farm country along Route 12A, above the Connecticut River. It is quiet, spread out, and largely made of older homes on real acreage.
It is toward the outer edge of the radius, so I generally schedule Plainfield work as a full visit rather than a quick stop — which is the right way to handle a list anyway.
Acreage changes the job mix. There is more property work here than in-town carpentry: driveways, drainage, brush, sheds and outbuildings, and equipment that has to keep running because there is a lot of ground to cover with it.
The houses themselves are mostly older, and older houses in river-valley farmland get the classic list — water finding its way in, and the trim, sills and porches paying for it.
I am based in Canaan and Plainfield 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.
