Well, we warned you all that something big was coming. We are excited to announce that we have submitted all of the paperwork and are currently pending approval for non-profit status for The Hunker Bunker Project.

It is 2022. We are facing rampant depletion of natural resources. We are facing record prices of life-sustaining utilities and products. Real estate prices have doubled (or more) in the last two years. Part of our goal when we started this project was bigger than ourselves. It was to set out to prove that affordable housing is not a myth - that everybody could own housing who wanted to and that there had to be an efficient means to accomplish this. This status will allow us to apply for grants and focus on the research. (The donations of funds raised will be used for the research purposes connected to this concept, not the living expenses or for personal asset growth.)

Most of you know that I am working in my PhD and one thing that this has shown me is the extreme lack of research being done in certain areas and sustainability js one of those areas. We intend to multiply the amount of work being done on sustainable, affordable and efficient housing.

This is a big step. Thank you for coming along for the journey.

Hey, everybody! Thanks for continued support. Plans are moving forward, but as you can bet, it is very hard finding materials and parts. Hoping to see progress soon.

In the meantime, I do have a few small requests if anybody happens to know somebody, please private message me. Looking for:

1.) General handyperson who could replace a few windows, door and garage door on the garage. We are not looking for anything fancy, just something to 'seal up' the garage. We are not 100% sure we are going to keep it so I won't want to invest a large amount until we know.

2.) The demo left a pretty big hole in the ground the size of, well, a house. Does anybody know somebody or a company that provides clean fill? I have called around and not many folks do that.

Thanks so much!

Hey, all. I know it’s been a while but between working full time, tax season, and being a PhD student, I might have finally found my limit.

We did make a bit of progress today. The land got mowed and the remainder of the debris, posts and fence were removed. A big thank you to for the hard work making that happen!

You’ll be seeing a bit more progress over the next few weeks so stay tuned!

Hey, all. Sorry it’s been a minute since the last update but the semester got super busy and there really wasn’t much we could do with winter looming. Just wanted to share Draft 1 with folks. This is only the first draft and is bound to change. Feel free to message or email your thoughts.
