For next microhouse build should look to other microhouse construction workshops such as: PAD tiny houses workshops; a few things they do differently are early bird pricing, buddy discounts, more emphasis on classroom learning about logistics such as navigating codes, regulations, insurance, how to hook up house to water and power, etc

I think the networks that most need to be connected with (more so than natural builders or permaculturalists, etc) are: architects, urban designers, urban homesteaders
