Progress continues to on a number of projects:
- I spoke with the City of Kingston about a location where St Lawrence College’s Introduction to Construction Course can work on build tiny homes for Home Base Housing’s homeless programs and we’re encouraged that space will be found.
- I also discussed a 24-tiny home community development in Kingston, and it looks very possible that this project will move ahead. More details will follow as the project unfolds.
- I got updated pricing on tiny home steel foundations today, and it was really bad news. The price of steel is going up drastically as a result of work/material shortages from COVID. This is pushing the price up by as much as 40%. This is a significant component in a tiny home, and also in steel frame construction of all types. Expect prices to rise.
- I am updating the 24Pillars initiative website, to reflect the projects in the works, that are helping define what 24Pillars is all about. In a nutshell, the project is expected to build affordable communities while helping some of Canada’s most vulnerable get access to housing.
- If you are interested in a short-term investment opportunity, drop me a note.
- I am working on a GoFundMe campaign to fund the first 24Pillars’ homeless build. Watch for details and help if you can by donating and sharing the link.
