Susan,

To get your name listed at the back of the book, you had to support the kickstarter at $100 or more to get:

Your Most Creative Name in the Book (80 character limit)

I bought the premium, and I'm looking for the links to the DVD's, is it still included?

Best,

That was a limited time thing.  

Isn't that the function of this very ebook?

Dave posted this today.  I thought it would be good to get some of it into a thread of it's own.


Last year fred made a gin pole that mounted in the bucket.   We used it a lot!   And dave took some video of it in action earlier this year:





Ron needed something much longer, so he made a longer gin pole:



But as you might expect, it was so long and heavy, the back tires came up off the ground a lot.  And you couldn't put much weight on it.  



So Ron made something that wasn't quite as long and was a single pole:




And used it to move uncle mud's bun warmer so we could finish the berm shed:




All part of the bootcamp!

There are two videos in the hopper that patreon peeps can see:


    how to improve longevity for posts in the ground


and


    building a junkpole fence


And here are some of the videos that have been released lately thanks to the patreon peeps:

This might be addressed somewhere in the PEP forums, but I was wondering if maybe a "To Do" list would be created to help laser focus people's attention on the overall immediate priorities and then longer term actions with such a large and ambitious project?

I think that would help everyone understand at a glance how to help keep moving the project forward and not stall.  We use a "list of open points" at my work very successfully to help keep track of the 2,000 things going on at any one point in time.

Like the app that lee jenkins made?

Jeff,

I figured out that you are a kickstarter supporter.   Thanks for supporting our kicktarter!

If you pop over to the kickstarter support forum, you will probably find your answer.  Or, you can post there for help:  https://permies.com/f/370/bwb-kickstarter

If  the plot meets our (my?) "earth integrated beauty" standards, then the ant can enjoy a $400 discount.

If the plot has a willow feeder system that is better than the current "chateu de poo", then the ant can enjoy a further $400 discount.

Ant plot rent for 2020 will probably be $1700 but reduced to $900 with the same discounts.


2019 rent is due September 30, 2018.

2020 rent is due September 30, 2019.

As always, work trades are preferred.

Ant plot rent for 2021 will be $900 (with discounts) and $1700 without.

2021 rent is due September 30, 2020.
