Eco-friendly methods were pretty much everything they were interested in. so they two couples sacrificed all the money they have for a worthy cause and built a town near the Llano River outside of Austin, Texas.
The cabins in the Llano Exit Strategy cost $40,000 each. Matt Garcia designed the cabins and made sure they are efficient and cost-effective. The cabins have reflective walls, slanted roofs, water barrels (5,000 gallons) and insulated windows.
