Jared -

We are 6 houses, 9 adults, 3 dogs and 2 kids.  Don't know if that fits 
your definition of small.

One of our largest hurdles being that small is we all have big 
vision/hopes/dreams - but less people to work on that than in bigger 
groups.  We're hoping to expand our retrofit community another 2-4 
households in the coming years when the opportunities arise.

You can email me if you have any questions.
