Living in the Columbia Gorge of the Pacific NW is amazing. From our property you could walk to kite boarding, or salmon fishing. Rivers with natural slides are a 15 minute drive from us. Some of the best white water kayaking in the PNW is an easy commute from here. Snowboarding/skiing is about 2hrs from driveway to lift line. Ocean waves are about the same distance from here. Basically, if you want to enjoy any/all of the best outdoor adventures of the PNW you can do it from our home without having to pack an overnight bag.
We're considering opening up one of our extra bedrooms to a like minded soul. We're just not getting projects done as fast as we'd prefer and we have enough room to share our space.
Constructions skills will be just as important as doing your own dishes. Willingness to weed a strawberry patch is just as important as respectful communication skills.
Our current project list includes a woodshed, deck, hot tub electrical installation, fencing. Our 2023 projects include more raised beds, a large stationary chicken coop, grey water catchment, pond, etc. Eventually we'll build a cob house in the back and turn this home into a duplex.
Our property is less than an acre and is walking distance to all of downtown and any basic amenities like post office, grocery, pharmacy, medical, dental, hardware, library, etc. Currently we have a dog, cat, chickens, honey bees and mason bees.
We're willing to offset some measure of rent for work-trade. The exact numbers and scenario will depend on the person.
Tell me a bit about yourself and why you think this might be a good fit for you.
