Can we find 20 people who'd buy $300 of boards for their hexayurt project, to get a much, much better structure than they'd get for their $200 of boards from Home Depot?
I don't know for sure, but I think so. I think that Fundable has some time limits (gotta raise funds in 30 days or something?) I'm not quite sure. But let's look at doing it, because Thermax HD is really a _spectacular_ material for the Hexayurt, and I'd like to see it in use this year if possible.
