Booting up

I’ll be posting the old designs for a while, starting this blog off with a gentle walk through how I actually came to this project.  However, I thought I’d let people know that I printed off the first brochures tonight, and will be starting the first home this weekend, most likely.  Depends on if I can get the axle I want locally.

There’s no real sign-up sheet yet, there’s no official business plan or even an official business, but there’s six people who signed my presentation notes asking for a home.  I’ll be talking to my first person from the city council sometime in the next month or two, looks like: Peter knows who I ought to talk to, and will arrange a meeting.  I should email him to remind him.

Hurdle #1: staying in touch with interested parties.
