OFF GRID RULES!!!!!!!!
I can see this getting printed.

Also I relate to this on a personal level as I currently live off grid in a timber framed mobile home that I built out of salvaged, local and natural materials.

I'm so sad I missed this! It's a really brilliant design, and I absolutely love the hidden typography - I didn't even notice it at first. Great job and hypothetical $5, let me know when it prints. ;)
