TerraOasis

Notebook

Notebook is a collection of ideas -- with drawings and photos -- mostly about improvement projects on the TerraOasis farm and residence. The inside, the outside and everything around my house is in a continuous state of change. Most of us have a way of indulging our creative side. Maybe lot’s of ways. Working on my house and farm are among the ways I exercise my creativity, and I record some of the plans and projects in this Notebook.

Update: Notebook has changed! Notebook is now hosted on Wordpress.com as a personal blog. Ideas, drawings and photos still gather...but they gather there instead of here. The address is TerraOasis.WordPress.com. Because it is a separate web site, clicking on the link will open TerraOasis.WordPress.com in a new window (or tab).

The old Notebook is still here too...a kind of notebook archive. The links to view any of the legacy Notebook content are listed below.

Old Notebook

Before construction commenced, before contracts were signed, and before orders were placed, TerraOasis farm was a concept on paper. There was literally a notebook in which specifications and plans were entered, along with all the other documents necessary to execute a large project. This Notebook is a visual extract of some significant project milestones and subsequent improvements to TerraOasis farm.
