Douglass Hall Construction Update Introduction

This part of my website contains back-issues of my articles detailing the earthquake retrofit and remodeling of Douglass Hall, a stately (but otherwise unusable) mansion in the middle of my school's campus. If you hadn't figured out where I go to school, I go to Menlo School (offsite) in Atherton, California.

The first five issues are official updates, approved and blessed by the school's press agents. The sixth issue does not exist, because I goofed up the numbering. The issues in the seventh series (7 through 7.21) are essentially emails that I sent to friends and teachers; they have not been blessed; therefore, I claim no responsibility should the administration choose to come after me. The eight issue is the very last one that I wrote. Currently, it is not online because I lost the text to it and haven't found it yet.
