Recycling Black Rock City into new homes!

This story about the wood recycling that ran in the Reno Gazette Journal newspaper

Many, many thanks to everyone who made this happen, esp. Steveo for making the connection with Habitat for Humanity, Lisa/Shaleen for making the great signs and flyers, and Big Stick and the DPW, and the rest of BM staff, for pulling our ass out of the wringer when we ( not surprisingly ) got overwhelmed with the amount of donated material. The full story ran on page A2 but there was also a "teaser" on the front page that had the lead to the story with a picture of the mother and daughter that will live in one of the homes being built. Two photos ran, nice coverage overall. And it was a pretty special moment to meet the family that will be living in one of the homes made from all those disassembled theme camps.

Perhaps the only sour note is they've got all this lumber, and no one to build with it. Plan is to take two years to finish the other nine houses.

So, if anyone's passing through Reno and knows how to swing a hammer, consider giving this guy Steve Stegmeir a call: 775-351-5511
