We off-loaded a trailer load of building materials today from a local builder. It will offset our lumber costs for this budget by about 20-30%. We have also found a local supply of used hinges that will be used for the build from the local Habitat Restore in Huntsville, Alabama. They have an abundant supply of Stanley brass hinges that we will be sorting and selecting tomorrow (storm today slowed us down). We will be using the standard 3.5" size, standard in most home supply retailers.

We will upload additional photos tomorrow and work to chop up the video footage from the ground clearing that was too long to properly upload into youtube on our attempt yesterday.

Look for more details as we lead up to Sunday's test build. Also additional donations would allow us to complete the waterproofing and insulation on this build date. Insulation (Reflectix or radiant barrier paint would be the choice for this test build. The cost implications for the Reflectix is approximately an additional $200 to the build and the thermal/radiant barrier paint would be an additional $100 cost to the project). Donations can be submitted through our blog page link to "chip in" or directly
