I'm iffy about whether or not we'll pass Day 2 at $15,649.

Its is also the 3rd best last day of any of Paul's kickstarters, behind:

19,263 - BWB
14,276 - RMH 4-DVD Set

I'm thinking we're about to pass RMH to become the 2nd best last day.



Final number for today: 19,429 . . .

Which means that this campaign has been Paul's

Best First Day
Fastest Funded
Best Last Day
Highest Daily Average
Highest Total Overall


of all his kickstarter campaigns so far!  Wonderful work, everyone!  I didn't think today was gonna get there, but we did it!

What a ride.  

Doing some tidying up now.

Does anyone see any kickstarter ads still running?  I think I got them all . . .

From email, after the campaign ended:

Just not quite paying enough attention to details…

Will you take my $100 to participate? Venmo?

Or, do you have a secret back door to kickstarter for those of us who
aren’t really that late.



So sorry, once the campaign is over, the door is closed to all of us!  Kickstarter locks everything down the moment the clock hits zero.  

You can still buy all of the stuff you want a la cart, but I understand that could set you back a pretty penny . . .

Congrats Paul and the whole team of beautiful people that worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make it happen!

It was, to me as a bystander, the best put together kickstarter campaign so far.

Way to go!!

Bravo to all who had a hand in the backstage parts of this endeavor, the onstage parts, and to everyone who believe in the Community of Permiesdotcom and put forth the cold, hard cash to fund this at such a fantastical level of success. It speaks volumes to what the world really wants in these times of uncertainty! I certainly would have backed at the higher level if I'd not been physically attacked by my client and fired for his lack of control!

And now I'm curious to hear about where all that extra coin will be focused. Kind of a, "We funded the project, and now can also fund this that and this other Because so much more was contributed!!"  I saw the charts showing the raw data of which days saw the largest overall contributions. I love looking over that sort of info. I am one of the "Enquiring Minds" who want to know!

Again, great job everyone!

Hi, I saw some people posted suggestions. I'm not sure if you're looking for them, but I thought if there really is extra money left unallocated from the kickstarter then it may be worth considering using it to create a more user friendly interface for the PEP badges. If the different "micro challenges" can be displayed in a tree like fashion, with hovering over them giving you some information about the tasks and clicking giving you the full challenge along with "related resources" it could make the process of learning from the PEP much more enjoyable, interactive, and maybe most importantly, efficient and productive.

Not demanding in any way, but I think it could really take the idea to new heights and provide a good foundation for people looking for a user experience that plainly guides them in the important skills they should have. The pep becomes an essential skills guide that's easy to navigate for anyone, from newbie learning from scratch to veteran deciding to brush up on some skills.

Yeah, all wrapped up.  The garden master course videos will be available for purchase soon, and you can still purchase any of the rewards a la carte.
