Post 7--Volunteer work day #1

The work day was great!  I had 7 volunteers come out to help, and we got the entire foundation done, despite speculation about lack of dirt.

Thanks to the Peltier family, Ms. Kelly Bemus, and the Harrisons for coming out this morning.  And an even bigger thanks to Nature's Supply Center  for their donations and the Douglas Boulevard Lowe's for discounting the materials.

Edit:  I added a gallery of the work that's been done so far, everyone should check it out.

Post#6--Volunteer day next Saturday

Hi again!

We were able to get the tires hauled out to the site courtesy of Mr. James Dickinson and the folks down at DCWaste.  We will be having our volunteer day on the 23rd to set up the foundation.  We'll be meeting at Brighten Academy at 10:00 am.  Please email me at plastichouse2012@gmail.com if you are planning on coming.

PS--I still need to borrow someone's truck to get the fill dirt down to the school!  If anyone could help me out with their pickup, I'd really appreciate it.

Post #5--Updates and Potential Work Dates!

Hi guys!
It's been a while.  I've been pretty busy with school, but now that I'm out for the summer, we can get started on the construction.  Below, you will see a list of potential work dates.  I am going to need a lot of volunteers, especially for the first work day, June 23rd, when we will be creating the foundation from mud and tires.

Right now, I need bottles!  We need to more than triple what we have right now, so if anyone knows a church group or an event host that uses 2-liter bottles, please let me know!


Potential volunteer dates:
June 23: Foundation, this one is going to be muddy/messy
July 15: Putting together the frame, beginning of the walls
July 28: Finishing of the walls, potentially


A huge thanks to Ms. Kelly Bemus for donating her rain barrel.
