Kindred 2011
- Brandon is thinking this may be too much to tackle this year
- Shelley agrees 100%
- The energy it would take needs to go to the business
- We'll still do something on the Solstice, but way less formal and with no other organizations invited
- We're kind of doing a mini-Kindred with the Earth Day event
Space conferences
- Brandon decided not to go to the SBIR Conference after all
- Not worth the money, time, and family capital required
Seed Village
- Some of the notes from this are stored on Ben's computer
Ben/Sanders Contract concept

- Estimated Soft Costs: Brandon $20-25k, Shelley $40-70k
- Estimated Hard Costs: Brandon $110-130k, Shelley $80-110k
- Shelley and Brandon get loan for all construction costs
- We build the ADU
- Convert entire property into condo association ... can we?
- Ben's deposit converts into down-payment on the ADU condo
- Ben gets a mortage for the ADU condo ... about $1100 per month?
Condo Association Bylaws
