Great to hear from you again will, dont worry about rides for me, My only concern is getting the photovoltaic cells, turbines, sand, straw, and roofing supplies, if you're talkin in March keep in mind I live over in North Dakota, so its a bit of a round trip, I dare say I'd be better to wait till June, if you think it'll still be quiet important I'll be there anytime you need me I don't do to much I can't blow off nowadays. I'll have a good car, I'll just be selling it to buy many of the supplies I just listed when I get there. You figure they have an electrician in that town? I've heard wiring an inverter is no simple matter. That's righteous that we're gonna have a blacksmith around, hope he can teach me a thing or two. Keep me updated man. Peace, Chad Here was my thoughts for crops seeds/vendors(fedco would seem to be better for trees). We probably couldn't plant trees till next spring, many varieties are already out of stock for early 2005 delivery. Both johnny seed and fedco do many a variety of garlic seed too, I just forgot to include them. __________________________________________________________________ Make no laws whatever concerning speech, and speech will be free; so soon as you make a declaration on paper that speech shall be free, you will have a hundred lawyers proving that "freedom does not mean abuse, nor liberty license"; and they will define and define freedom out of existence. --Voltarine de Cleyre
excellent chad.... about an electrician im sure there will be one around....however as a part of obtaining my masters i had to study and applied electrical, and prove an overall extensive knowledge of mechanical engineering which basically means if they draw it we can build it.... i did the same thing about a car i bought a reliable transportation with excellent resale value considering the land is only a couple of miles out of town i intend to commute by horse back!so i will be sellling my truck to provide a large sum of money for our needs! i was thinking i really needed you there then only for a weekend cuz the agri-layout is what determines the structure placement....i woould hate to put foundatioons in on prime agri-land and then only have land left to be betttter siuted for houses... i know sun exposure and wind are important factors so anyways if u cant make it maybe you can get with hank or cobcottage and they will look into somethings and give me a hand? who knows.....
willpower, i was wondering if you could send me more details on those lands you listed? including who to contact about purchase. are any of them abbuting yours? can you tell us more about your location? i think your plans sound great and i'd be interested in developing a project in conjunction with yours. especially if it's a no or low money down. look forward to hearing more. peace nwrfred

Hi everyone, long time no see. Dover-Foxcroft is here- Link You are farther south in Maine than I thought you were...hmmm.
hey, will, did ya get my pm to ya yesterday? just wondering. talk to you soon.... in love and light my friend --rabbit
Hey Y'all I am new to these forums (three days) but I have some interesting ideas for you. Check with the papermill to see if you can pick up truck loads of shredded paper or waste paper, they usually give the stuff away for free, then you can build with cordwood and papercrete. You can timber frame then use cordwood for the walls. You will need the R factor in Maine for the winter and cordwood has an amazing r factor. Check out Rob Roy's site Seeds, check out southern seed exposure, they usually give away older seeds at the beginning of each year, they are good seeds but not viable for sale as the germination will be less that the packet states. Last year I got loads of tomato and pepper seeds for free that grew really well upstate in the cold. Fedco has done the same in the past so its always worth asking about their freebies. Also, look in the back of Mother Earth News, there are several people who offer free seeds if you pay postage. Are you still looking for more people to come up there in March?
