Go Fund Me

Tom started a Go Fund Me campaign where anyone can donate to help out with the costs of building our earthship. The cheapest earthships I've heard of being built (maybe around $70,000) are when the husband/wife/immediate family members are engineers, contractors, and/or tradespeople, who can use their connections to get wholesale prices and call in favours from friends. Even then it's still a lot of work! We unfortunately have no connections so we seem to be paying a premium for everything. I have heard of earthships costing as much as $400,000 (yikes!). Some people are on a very tight timeline so they are forced to pay more. The one near Winnipeg wound up being $250,000+. We are trying to keep costs reasonable by taking our time and finding deals, but since Brandon and area is still in the "boom" phase, deals are hard to come by. Any donations are much appreciated and can be easily made by following the link above :)
