Help Needed in Ozarks

I have six acres in the Ozarks with lots of woods and a lovely pond. I am trying to clear some land and build an earthbag tiny underground house. I am doing this on a limited budget and could really use an extra pair or two of hands. I would also like to have someone around to keep an eye on goats and ducks when I can not be at the land. Right now I can offer next to nothing because my homestead is literally just starting from the dirt up! You can camp on the land but that is really all I have to offer. I can try to help with getting you food for meals as well but that is not a guarantee. You could fish and forage for wild edibles on the land, but I don't even have a garden in ground. This would be an ideal experience for someone else who is looking to start from scratch in the future, or someone with an interest in getting hands on experience before they start their own homestead. There is a small chance of a neighboring parcel or too being up for sale this summer so I guess that would be an incentive too.

Hi, my name is John and I live in Timberlake, NC. I'm looking to relocate soon, maybe early summer. I am a 45 year old single male with a very handsome, well mannered dog named Jack. I grew up on a 32 acre farm here in North Carolina. We raised Black Angus cattle, horses (Quarter and Tennessee Walkers), sheep, goats, etc... so I have plenty of experience with livestock. We also did a lot of growing so I know my way around tractors, plows, bush hogs, gardens and so on. I am a Army veteran. I served from 1992 to 2000 and again from 2004 to 2006. Right now I work for myself as a carpenter and am the care taker of an old farm for an elderly couple. However, I am ready to move on. There are a lot of reasons why I want to relocate, it's a very long, sad story and I won't bore you with it. I don't drink alcohol but I'm not against it in any way nor am I into drugs. I can give references to people who can back up my character if needed. Well, I'm not very good at this sort of thing so I hope I came across clear enough. Thanks.
