Seeking Living Space Barter

Hi all,

In these challenging times, we need to join together to share skills and effort. I am seeking a farmstead, land-based community or “tribe” to share land stewardship responsibilities in return for a place to call home.

I’m a 57-year-old skilled carpenter, designer/builder, rigger, mechanic, machinist, welder, woodsman and capable groundskeeper who is seeking modest housing and storage space for tools & equipment including several utility trailers and space for my outdoor wood-heated hot tub. High-speed internet is important, since I do a lot of on-line research for the 8-10 classes I teach at Yestermorrow in sustainable design, engineering and construction.

I am open to barter, caretaking, cooperative stewardship or other creative arrangement. My income has been limited by my 30-year commitment to war-tax resistance, and my life savings were stolen last year. So what I have to offer is a wealth of skills and experience.

I also would love to work with horses, which I did a bit of in the woods of Maine 30 years ago. Any inquiries and offers would be welcome.
