  1. I like the sand bag house, I can see a lots of places this will fix into..I think, adding solar panels on this, will also do, and a solar water pump will also help the people…thanks, J.Driver, How do I contact Mr. Nadya Glawe, about this project…thanks…

  2. Hi,

    I’ve been reading your website and I think you would be interested in our sandbags.

    We make a bright yellow and blue sandbag that is shaped like a keystone. The shape causes the bags to interlock with each other making incredibly strong walls.

    Can I send you some of our bags to play with? (no charge)

    Sincerely,
