Personal Projects
New, more personal projects that I work on in my spare time include the following sites:
- Antique Home & Style—I loved Antique Home so much I just couldn't stop. Antique Home belongs to its owner, so my goal is to continue my research and publications as well as add an extra enhancement in the future. If all goes according to plan, I am going to offer working drawings of some of these wonderful old houses for new construction that draws on this rich collection of old publications I have acquired. Other plans include specialty publications, books, and brochures.
- Small House Living—Houses less than 1500 square feet were once the norm for millions of American families. In support of the Small House Movement, I am offering articles and resources.
- Small Planet Living—Living sustainably doesn't have to be painful. On SPL, we're putting together articles and resources (using Demesne as a model) so taking the first few steps and beyond is easy and maybe even fun.
- Garden Arts—A while ago, I spent the requisite time to become a Master Gardener in Washington County through the Oregon State University Extension Service. I'm a relative newbie to the whole thing, but enjoy helping other gardeners get the info they need that is accurate and research based. I doff my cap to the other gardeners who are so incredibly knowledgeable.
- Nyman-Ferrill Genealogy—I love history and research so have constructed a web site dedicated to organizing and publishing my family history.
