Bob Boule, of White River Junction, builds a bench at a pullout on Route 14 in Royalton, Vt., where he set up to sell his products, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020. “I just like working with wood,” he said. “It doesn’t pay the bills.” Boule was released after a period of incarceration in January and when coronavirus stimulus money was distributed in the spring he invested in new tools after a seven-year break from building. “I got that $1,200 and I said, hey, time to put my goals back in action. When you’ve been at it for so long, it’s like a stamp in your brain. You don’t count sheep anymore, you count picnic tables.” (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
