Below are a fun set of photos to show y’all where we’re at…

Organizing fun!

Each of the over 700+ bales milled had to be organized to make the baling process easier. Fun was also involved!

Long hours were spent tabbing each bale and placing them into their proper strip.

a big fan of FY!-Langes mentioned our final productive output is eerily similar.
just wait til they grow into little bales and start running around!

As of May 2nd, 2012, FY-Langes received 125% funding from kickstarter.com. That totals an amazing $5000.00 that will go towards our final construction. Woohoo!

For the past two weeks, we’ve been milling our final bale sets for the May 12th End Of Year Show. The plan now? Finish milling our 600+ bales by Monday (5/07) night and spend the rest of the week putting it all together. We’ll post pictures as the fun continues.

The FY! Team thanks all of those wonderful people who contributed to our kickstarter fund!! Thanks again!

The FY! Team is super stoked to move forward with the project and have the finished installation done by May 12th as promised.

With 12 days left to the Kickstarter campaign, our new goal is to raise enough to cover all of our costs and additional improvements, including lighting schemes and more flexibility with material costs. FY-Langes still encourages everyone to pass the word along to increase our network of supporters and friends. To do so, “Like” us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/FyLanges) and donate here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/198029310/fy-langes?ref=live

Again, a big thank you to everyone who holds FY-Langes dear to their hearts; we sure hold all of you close to ours. In the meantime, check out some shots of our prototype being tested by our team and used by our peers.

Much love,
The FY! Team
