Susan,
PM me please. I am open to sharing my 40 acre homestead. Still working out the Shared Ownership aspect. Brainstorming ideas would be helpful.

Thanks for reading...happy growing and learning:)


Anna, if you are open to East Texas send me a PM. I am very interested in "exchange for work".
We can discuss further.

HT, I am curious if you are getting any nibbles on your post?
I also wonder how you plan to provide deed for ownership?
My interest is because I am thinking of offering a similar situation with my homestead. Shared ownership is the tough nut for me to crack at this point.

I'm single, forever and am looking for someone to love,  live and grow and live among nature as much as possible!

Anna, I have been single for a few years now. While I am comfortable on my own, I just would rather not be.
I am in East Texas. Where are you located?

There are definitely some conservatives and Christians here on permies.com, but not sure how many in the singles forum. From personal experience, I'd suggest Farmer's Only dating site as a space to find singles who are into homesteading and match what you are looking for! Good luck![/quote

Farmers Only is a waste of time and money. I spent 6 months on the site and found only Catfish and flakes.
I like the suggestion of attending church services and cultivating friendships with the the community you find there

Ryan,
I too was interested in Timber Framing though not as a career in the mid 1990's. I acquired some books and talked to some people, but it was not meshing for me. Then in 1999 The Timberframers Guild was hosting a one week workshop just an hour away from my home. And falling on my birthday to boot. Happy Birthday to Me. I enrolled.
What an amazing experience that was.
I have since gone on to design and cut two timber frames for myself.
You may want to reach out to them and see if a workshop is available for you to attend near your home.
FYI, I feel Timber Framing is closer to carpentry than construction. I encourage you to discover for yourself.
If you cannot connect to The Timber Framers Guild, post back and I will mine my history to find a valid email for you.
