I had a look at the pattern list on Ohio Table Pad Company's website and it does look like they have patterns for Ethan Allen tables: http://www.otpc.com/patterns.html I had a look at GoTablePads.com since they offer table pads manufactured by Ohio Table Pad Company and they will send you a tracing kit so that you can trace your table's corners if Ohio Table Pad Company doesn't have your exact table on file. GoTablePads.com includes free shipping. Here is a link that might be useful: table pad

Well, you've learned one lesson: Don't ever register your domain through your host. It's a pain in the behind if you want to transfer it. I always recommend to people that you use a plain old domain registrar like gkg.net or godaddy.net (I prefer gkg.net myself). You can then point the domain to wherever you eventually host the site. Lesson two would be, do your research when getting a webhost. There are lots of bad ones out there. And plenty of good ones. The problem is finding "real" reviews of hosts (a lot of the review sites have fake reviews on them). I use www.webhostingtalk.com as a resource a lot, and search there on any potential hosts that I'm considering -- you generally get the straight scoop from people posting there. Lesson three: you get what you pay for. $2.00 a month web hosting is...well, frankly, a joke. That's probably why they get generally poor reviews. To get decent service, customer support, etc., you really need to be paying somewhere in the $8.00 - $15.00 a month range for shared hosting for a basic site, IMO. As for what to do now -- personally, I would try to move away from this host. I did a search on 1and1.com on the forum I mentioned above, and they seemed to be a pretty mixed bag as far as reviews. You can definitely do better than that. There is NO reason they should fight you on letting you take your domain with you -- you just need to be very upfront, and don't take any crap from them. On the other hand, if you don't want to deal with the mess of trying to move, you can try them for a while, and see how it goes. Some people do seem to like them just fine. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones!

You don't need a special kind of site to do what you have described. Box and Dropbox are document storage and document sharing sites, which is what you have described, that offer free access boxes. Larger boxes are available for purchase. This could meet your needs. The exception is #5. I'm not quite sure what you mean. My phone allows text interchange between all parties. I'm guessing you mean something else. With Box and Dropbox you can notify others when you make changes or add comments. I'd suggest looking into Google Docs also. It's also free. I've successfully used all of the above for projects with far more moving parts than a house build. (think dozens of people and dozens of "houses" and dozens of bits of content to be managed and shared).

Budget permitting, of course, you should consider adding a nearly flat "shed roof" to the left of your front stoop and enlarge your front porch to the left front corner of the house. Put your bench on that side of the porch. (You might want to create a gate between the left corner of the house and fence on the left side of that porch - or at that corner even if you don't add the porch.) Would want to clad the porch posts with treated boards so they're sturdier and sturdier looking. Is that a road or your driveway? Consider outlining that part of it which is in front of your fence and house (extending it the same width/length as that fence on both sides of your house). You could use a double/parallel row of pavers with their tops ground level to create a 2' wide planting area you can mow around. If you want a green privacy fence, plant taller plants/shrubs; otherwise, you could plant a low growing plant. Choose plants or shrubs that look good most of the year or all year -- something that stays green/keeps its leaves all year. Focus on creating a healthy lawn on any/all sunny parts of your front yard and add moss and/or low growing ground cover where you find you have too much shade for the grass to grow well.
