looking for folks who dont mind getting dirty! our red clay has  
stained us orange - we've been digging it out, moving it around (at  
little as possible), and tamping it back down, and could use someone  
whowanted to learn which end of the mattock you chop clay with, and  
which end cuts roots.

we're a fledgling homestead, all solar powered in the amazing  
sequatchie valley, tennesse (near chattanooga), in a community of  
communities. every day is a new adventure in independant personal  
responsibility, but we're pretty comfortable. and we're not out here  
to work 80 hours a week... though we usually do anyway, if you count  
every chore. that's the big advantage of having no commute!

we're open to helpers now, and are organizing a workshop in september,  
on earthbags, timberframe/roundpole, sustainable wood harvest, home  
milling and who knows what else. contact me if you're interested, and  
stay alert for updates!
