Well I suppose I should ask DW before I rent out a room ;) I have no idea what the New England Culinary Institute charges for their program. I do know that the exchange rate is in favor of us going north rather than Canadians coming south.
Probably a good idea lol. Dont think DW would appreciate a random girl coming into yiur house claiming shes renting a room lol. And i have a college fund so that should cover most if not all of it hopefully :fl

Your application for student exchange is improving....but....how do you feel about the life cycles of tadpoles and evil woodchucks?
Evil woodchucks are evil for a reason lol but tadpoles are awesome adorable little things that will eventually help in the future :lol:

Nothing wrong with tadpoles!!! Like Newton said, they eat mosquito larvae. With that pond behind the barn we should be suffering a ton from mosquitos. But the fish (and they will be restocked even if a different species than the 2 in the bucket), tadpoles and insect eating birds keep them down to near zero. Suffered much worse at our old house with a decent size brook behind it down in the steep ravine and lots of stagnant pools and total tree coverage. Those vultures would wait at the edge of the woods for dusk or for anyone to get within 10 feet of their shade cover.

I'm quite sure Newton would be a lovely boarder and I bet I'd get a lot more work out of her, and without complaints, in exchange for partial room and board than I do out of my own kids who are not much older than she is.

And Newton, you aren't random. You are a friend from BYH and I'm sure you could get a goodly number of references from members here!

I think @newton the goat will miss her sheep so much that @Bruce will have to get a few to make her feel more at home. She’s okay with some becoming dinner so maybe Bruce will get to eat lamb!!

I think this has potential to be a win-win situation.

Pretty sure Newton does her own laundry and can cook and clean...js
