Project Timeline

Although much of this information is already sprinkled throughout the various sections of the site, I've brought it together here for convenient reference. I've had a little difficulty with some of the earliest dates, although I've put my best guess on work start and work completion, based on what paperwork I have on hand. Some of the projects are listed as "ongoing", which means I sort of picked at them depending upon the weather or supplies available as time permitted. The same is true of projects with overlapping work dates, since I rarely seem to be working on just one thing at a time.

Projects are listed chronologically, and each project is linked to the appropriate sections of the rest of the website for further information.
