Desperate for pop/beer cans!

We need hundreds of cans to move forward next week on the two exterior pop can walls.  Our non-pop drinking family can’t produce enough and even with the generous donations of friends and family we will be short!

I’m at the point (almost) where I’d pay for them at the going rate.  I tried our local depot and suggested a trade for beer bottles but there’s some rule about not doing that…and now I’m out of beer bottles having used them for filling in between the rafters.

If you have bags waiting to go to the depot please let me know (as long as you are relatively local) and I can bring my nickel jar and save you the trip to the depot…

Thanks!

    Hi Sandra,

    Congratulations to your children for winning the Energy Fair contest! I really enjoyed your post on the bcsea site. It is so nice to hear such a positive story.

    I am in Kamloops and will save you all my cans and bottles until your next trip to town if you like? Or is Kamloops too far?

    No, Kamloops is not too far. I am in town about once a week….are you the Marcia from TNRD? I think I’ll be in on Tuesday. Thanks!!

Welcome to our homesteading adventure in south central BC, Canada! In 2009 we started building an earthship in Darfield. We moved in three and a half years later. Now that the biggest jobs are finished we are having fun homesteading in a modern world. Join us for discussions about finishing the earthship, food preservation, beekeeping, livestock, permaculture and how we interact with technology. It's all about simple living and stewardship of the land without deprivation. Together with our three teenagers we're learning as we go.
