September will be a busy month!

We had a great monthly meeting this month!  We talked about all the things we want to be able to have on Elderberry property (cold food storage, pool, smokehouse, bike and kayak storage, pizza oven, etc) and where all this might go.  We also rescheduled our September workday (was going to be Sept 23rd) because the carpenter who is helping us build the common house is coming back to work with us Sept 27-29th so we will have 3 workdays instead of one this month!  If anyone is interested in visiting or helping out with work on the common house (trim, soffit, siding, hurricane ties, site clean-up) please let us know and come on out!  Guests are most welcome.

Our builder has told us that the soonest she can break ground on the first duplex is Dec 1.  So we're aiming for that!

As always, feel free to contact us if you have questions or are interested in visiting.

Happenings in August

Well, our marketed efforts are paying off!  We just started spreading the word about Elderberry a few months ago and we have several new members and 5 tours coming up!  Now is the time to get on board!

We met with the architect again this week and are likely on the last revision of the home plans.  Members may use the plans as they are, or pay the architect to make whatever changes they wish.  We can also allow a handful of members to design and build their own home (we have promised the builder 10 of the 18 homes).  We'll put the designs on the website as soon as they are finalized.

We did a bit of site clean-up and some bush hogging around the site today.  This week we will be getting estimates for septic systems.

For those interested in meeting our members and getting a little exercise, our next workday at the site will be Sunday Aug 26th from 10-3.  We'll serve lunch!
