6.28.23: A NEW RECORD!

On Tuesday, a merry band of our regulars broke the record for the fastest build/tilt up.  They built all four walls, finished the platform, and tilted up four walls by 11:25 am!  What a talented bunch of men and women!

ARJUN’S EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT

Arjun was our sixth Eagle Scout project, done over two Saturdays.  Watching him lead was like watching a flower opening up.  His confidence was amazing.

When asked what were the three most important lessons he learned from his project, Arjun never mentioned how to build a tiny home. All were about “life lessons”.  As it should be.
