Done. I may be busy at the time of the video but I'll see if YouTube reminds me when I get on.

So the Kickstarter goes into effect on April Fool's Day!
And you'd be a fool if you missed out on this great deal!
I was part of the last Kickstarter but this one appears to top it.
I would like to see a book about working with concrete.
I poured my concrete pads for my shed (that shan't be seen) under my bottom porch.
I used a Harbor Freight concrete mixer and poured 6 pads, 8'W x 6'L x 4" deep.
I used 6x6 wire mesh and 1" fiberglass shards (used in concrete countertops) in the concrete mix.
Those slabs are tough. Then I framed it in and dried it in and have 224 sq.ft. shed under my bottom porch.
And since it is not a separate outbuilding, there is nothing for the County to tax! Checkmate!

May the FORCE be with you and have a magical day!

Hemp was and still is used to make cords and rope. I'm surprised with the passage of the Hemp Act that we don't see more posts promoting this plant.

Hope I'm one of the winners of his new book.
I'm unemployed and on a fixed income.
Right now, I've spent all summer building a shed under my lower deck.
It will be an additional 228 sq ft of storage for my garden tractor, concrete mixer, and other garden tools.
The good part is I've taken pictures of this journey along the way.
Maybe I'll make a book out of it to help others along the way.

Looks like an interesting book.
I would like to win one because right now I'm unemployed.
I have a greenhouse kit but the land is not flat to set it up.
And right now we got our first snow of the year.

I have been a supporter of Paul's book and have been lurking in the background.
I've also been very busy the entire summer, digging by hand, setting forms, and pouring concrete.
I poured a total of 6 concrete pads, 6 ft x 8 ft for a total of 228 sq ft under my lower 12 ft x 24 ft deck.
I also built brick walls on both ends, put in a personnel door, and have done framing.

I have done skills I have not done before. Brick laying looks easy on YouTube. But I challenge you to try it yourself!
And all this is for a shed that shan't be seen. I have been taking pictures all the while when I have been doing this work.
I'm surprised a lot of people wouldn't even know how to do some of this. The skills I have been doing could be used to build a cottage or even a house.
So maybe I'll write a book about this when I'm finished. I want to get finished soon as it's starting to get cold outside.

I didn't see Shawn's video.
But I did get a post saying my pledge was weird.

I boosted from $25 level to $100 (Glory). So I don't know what the problem is.
If there needs to be more for shipping at this level, please let me know.

I've done other Kickstarters before and don't know why this had to be so difficult?

Email me if you have questions or problems. And please set my level right.
Thanks!
