As I mentioned to a few of you, I applied for a grant from the Dept of Natural History to help in construction of my siege engines. Basically, I spend 5 hours online reading about the process from grants.gov
Wrote a short( 2 page) proposal up, and sent it in.
Was informed that I will be awarded $52000 to build them. The monet is spread over 12 months, comes to $4166 per month. So, starting in December when the money is scheduled to come, I will begin building 2 onagers, 2 half-size trebs and 3-4 scorpios. I have to document the construction process, and show that I am "teaching" somebody, so Ive got all my nieces and nephews set for photo opps. Then Ill throw up a web page to keep track of it.
Seriously, there is FREE monet for this kinda stuff.
goto www.grants.gov spend a few hours reading and apply.
Maeth can even apply as a group, "medieval re-enactment society" or such.
hehe.......now, if I can figure a way to get the gov to pay my credit card debt off....
