Added final page 23. Yes, after a year and a half of
construction, we are done!
OK, the website update is a year late. Sorry. We've been busy
moving in and getting settled in our new home. We really love
it.
Note: Most of the photos on page 23 were done by a professional
photographer, which is why they look so much better than the
rest.
Sadly, AudioVisions, our A/V and home automation
contractor, went out of business the day before we moved in.
They were not really done, so we hired Integrated Home
Systems to finish the project.
27 May 2003
Added pages 21 and 22, showing the completion of the stairs,
the creation of the room divider, and a lot of landscaping work.
This may be the next-to-last update. The move-in
date is June 5, which is only a week away.
13 April 2003
Added pages 19 and 20, with more pictures of the stairs and
railings, along with more landscaping work, bathrooms, and a lot
of finish carpentry.
Updated the "Kite" link to more clearly explain that it is just
an external link to a totally different website.
04 March 2003
Added pages 17 and 18, with pictures of interior and exterior
stairs and millwork.
There is also a great deal of painting preparation going on, but
pictures cannot capture the subtle colors. The biggest impact
of the painters is that it gets rooms cleaned up nicely, right
before they cover everything with plastic and tape.
14 January 2003
Added pages 15 and 16.
It has become somewhat difficult to get interesting pictures,
partly because the outdoor work has slowed down due to the
weather, and also because a lot of the work is very
time-consuming and detail oriented, or just not very photogenic.
27 October 2002
Wow, where did August, September, and October go?
Added all new pictures on pages 13 and 14. Added clicking hints
for the web-impaired.
Added a link to the GuildWorks Studio and Flight Gallery
website, which offers a kite named the "TetraFoil Zero-Wind
Glider" designed by Marc Ricketts. I had not seen this kite
before I registered the tetrafoil.com domain name, and I have no
relation with GuildWorks, but the kites are all lovely and would
fit in nicely at the new house.
Official completion date is end of February.
02 August 2002
Wow, where did July go?
Added all new pictures on pages 11 and 12.
Stopped using EvrSoft 1st Page. XEmacs is superior in almost every way.
15 June 2002
Pictures of floors, windows, siding, framing, roofing, and rocks.
Added all new pictures on pages 9 and 10.
9 May 2002
Pictures of steel, stone, framing, windows, and tubing.
Added all new pictures on pages 7 and 8.
There was a rather long interval with no updates, partly because
we had run out of disk space on the web server. Now we have
lots of space, and a new domain name for easy access: www.tetrafoil.com.

More panoramas, plumbing, and stone pictures.
