We have the ability to create better living through sustainability. If we open source and free-share a replicable model for this, we can spread the idea and sustainable lifestyle globally. The ultimate goal of doing this would be to create a fully sustainable planet capable of meeting the needs of everyone living here. This is the purpose of the all-volunteer One Community nonprofit organization.

The core team also put another 10 hours into the behind-the-scenes revision for the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the crowdfunding campaign we are developing. This week we completed a comprehensive review of the FFF doc. on pages 58-87, where we made corrections related to measurements and proofreading grammar and sentence structure. We also added new materials to the FFF materials list which included 3/4″ & 1/2″ plywood photos with description of usage along with separate narratives on pages 107 & 108. Additionally, we added 2″ finish nails, which are replacing 3 1/2″ finish nails for the slider. We’d say we are now 96% complete with this total update and rewrite behind the scenes.
