Some cities have compost pickup programs, so that might be the answer to that.

Let me know if you end up making some boss paper, I would not mind seeing that one bit. I'll have to check out your soap, it sounds cool.

I suggest you ask your friendly neighborhood doctor about this.

Somewhere in that range I bet.

The bikes sell for that much because someone's willing to pay for it, for the extra attention to detail and cause it's made from bamboo, so it looks cool.

Well worth it in my mind.

I planted my trees about a month ago, we'll see if they grow come springtime I reckon.

There are also FREE tiny house plans out there if you search around.

Did you ever get yours?

Better to be safe than sorry. Maybe he'll put in some smoke/CO2 detectors in the finished product.

I'm keen to try a pair out, I am.

Infinite money machine.

They're waiting until the temperatures get a bit cooler before they send the trees -- they want them to stay dormant until the spring.

I was expecting them to send them by now... I'll get in touch with them and see what I can dig up.
