The Clingstone House in Jamestown, RI sits on it’s own island in the middle of Narragansett Bay
-Henry Wood, a former architect bought the house for $3600 back in 1961 which is roughly $29,000 today
-He offered $3500 they said no too low, he offer $3600 and they accepted his offer
-When he bought the house he could see the sky from the basement, there were big holes in the roof, all the windows were smashed and the plumbing was broken
-He tried to invite friends and friend of friends to come help repair the house on weekends but no one came except one weekend he was able to get 100 volunteers to come help who were repaid with food and alcohol.
-Since then he has solar panels installed on the roof and a wind generator added to the island to generate power
-He originally couldn’t get insurance on the house as insurance companies feared a large storm out take it out but more recently has been able to lock down some insurance on his island home
So what have we learned from this story? If you need the help of people to get something done, bribe them with alcohol.
