No work party this Saturday

Greetings friends!

Thank you to all volunteers who helped us raise the new work tent.

We are now in the process of building out the new work tent and will not be hosting any tiny home builds until the tent is ready. I will continue to communicate with you on weekly basis but ask for your patience as we get ready for the next stage.  Please have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Weather is looking great for Nov 17th! 

Greetings friends!

We are making great progress towards finishing the 5 tiny homes.
The priories this Saturday, the 17th include:

Finish installing interior wall panels and trim.
Install doors.
Caulk and paint exterior walls and trim. (please dress accordingly)
Caulk and prime interior walls. (please dress accordingly)
Build staircases around the camp if time allows.

Needed Action Items: Awnings
We are in need of 15 awnings for the homes. There are many benefits of the awnings such as keeping rain from entering the homes when doors and windows are open, preventing moisture damage over time. (The homes get stuffy and the only way to ventilate is by opening up a window or door). They also serve as dry spot for the resident to have a little break outside. This summer we installed two as a test case and they are working out great!We currently need 15 awnings to finish the projectIf you would like to help us out with this, you can order a few of them for us on amazon here. We hope to have them up and installed before the weather gets really rough. Thank you all for the community support.
