MicroHouse Workshop

[Marcin Jakubowski]

Friends, 

We have our most ambitious open source, code-compliant MicroHouse build to date - coming up in 2 weeks.

http://opensourceecology.org/microhouse-workshop-3/

If you are local to the Kansas City area, you are invited for nearly-free as a last minute offer. We are inviting you for $15/day to cover our costs (normal cost is $100/day). We have 28 people right now participating in the workshop - but to achieve our epic 5-day build from foundation to finish - we need to have 44 people total for a real swarm build - modern barnraising reinvented with open source. It's an immersion experience - if you are ever planning on building your own house - you'll see the whole process from start to finish. 

Do you want to see our open source tractor, compressed earth brick press, soil pulverizer, and Power Cube building the open source MicroHouse? Code compliant at 1/3 the cost of conventional housing - but using natural local material - dirt?

If you have any open source hardware hacker friends, please feel free to pass this offer on to them as well. This offer applies only to the open source community. Help us fill the workshop and participate in the most epic open source build to date. If we can show that this works and is replicable, we can have a profound impact on construction in general - by using open source hardware.

We foresee an enterprise model where the house owner pays for materials, and fees from the tuition of participants covers the construction services.  This way, the home owner builds a home at the cost of materials. This is one example of social production. 

(This is the enterprise model that we are developing. To make it a reality, we are recruiting talented, out-of-box builders to lead our workshops. We are -SA, so you can use our machine blueprints to go into business yourself. The Brick Press has digital cut files for the metal, 3D prints, controller, and the controller box. Our fab procedures are here, broken down by modules.)

Sign up today. The promo code is Fifteen.

Thanks,
Marcin
