I'll be starting off my own..sorta slow...clearing the land..cutting down all the trees..milling them into 2x4s..an 8x8 beans..lvling the land before building is going to more than likely take me a whole season..if not a full year..while helping paul on his...maybe start actually growing on my own after the build..and tilling everything might be alittle bit...be fore I'm fully self reliant..that's what the GoFundMe was for....more longterm survival...supply's that cant be made..solar system is crucial..plywood and such...not looking for handouts of any.sorts..I want 2 help others that in time would like 2 join...

Click here to support Off-grid Homestead Community organized by Andrew Conard if possible all I ask is that maybe post it on facebook or any social media...and would love 2 hear any criticism ..or..any opinions to maybe make it better..this is my first time ever trying this..it was amanda..my fiances..idea..

 

You should feel blessed that you own land but to ask people for money to build your home??? It is nice that three folks have kindly donated but you have something. Some people have nothing. Some people have lost all because of recent natural disasters.

The state of Georgia can and will take your property if you do not pay taxes so money will always be important.

 

I'll stake you to the whole 20K if you can meet my terms. Gifts do not come from wishes, and are really scarce in monkeyland. You want to do business, OK, put your title to the land on the line. In other words, I'll need to hold your mortgage on unencumbered real estate along with some other conditions..

 

I appreciate your offer..but I would have to kindly refuse...my intention was never to make a business or prophet in any way from this...there is a plot of 10 acres next to this..land that is for sale for 20k..if you were looking...
