Greetings!
Welcome to Mike's Web Page!
Please allow me a moment to
explain the rationale behind this site. This web site was initially intended
to be a historic document concerning the construction of a solar powered
private residence in Rhode Island. The idea was that it would be easier
for the architect who was located some distance from the construction site
to keep informed and up to date with progress being made, and to also have
a visual record of what transpired. Over the course of the project, many
people would ask me how construction was progressing, and it just became
easier to point them to the web site so they could see for themselves.
This web site is divided into
several sections, which can be accessed from the menu below. The sections
are:
- Latest Pictures
- as the name implies, current photos.
- Construction
History - three documents providing a summary of the entire
construction; from groundbreaking 2003, to the arrival of furniture and
completion of the last outstanding items in 2005.
- Overall Project
History - some background info concerning the planning, purchase,
and clearing of the property.
- Critters Spotted
on the Farm - being surrounded by conservation land allows for plenty
of wildlife in the area; here you'll find photos of some of the animals
that have been seen in the area.
So take some
time, take a look around, and see what kind of madness I subjected myself
to...
