The Team

I’m Jim Reilly, the designer and project manager of Underhill. I drew the plans, and I work as general contractor on the project, in addition to doing most of the day-to-day construction. In 2010 I married Nancy Candea, who provides all sorts of direct & indirect support on the construction.

These are the people and organizations who are building Underhill. Sponsors & friends: if you'd like your name to link to your own website, let us know.
