99 problems but a bird ain't one

Update #1 · Apr 23, 2012 · comment

Hey Backers!

Here is our first official update on the project!

First off, we want to thank everyone so far who has backed us. We are so excited to see all the people helping us out! 

All of our tiles are through the first round of bisque firing without any casualties!  (pictures below) Glaze firing tonight!

Unfortunately, we got a final quote from our structural fabricator that was way higher than we originally estimated (around $1,400). This means we need to raise more money!  We have begun to get quotes from other local fabricators, and these quotes are coming back higher than our $600 budget. 

We are now looking to raise $900 to keep this thing going. If we don't raise enough money we will refund the donations and not be able to build the project  :(

So keep passing this project along!  Many people have learned about us through word of mouth, so tell your friends, family, co-workers, bird lovers, that multi-billionaire philanthropists you know, whoever!

Thanks so much
