Hi my name is Evan 38m. Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a sole proprietor construction business, am a music producer, and own a few other small business' with a couple friends. I have a 15 yo son and a beautiful pup named ava. I enjoy working hard, building value, and helping others. I'm a big technology enthusiast, enjoy flying drones, camera work, disc golf, tinkering and of course, music.

I recently sold my stake in a decommissioned church in omaha that I remodeled over the last 5 years, to a non profit that will continue running the artist residency program that I helped establish out of the building. About a month ago, I bought 10 acres of land in red cloud, ne. I'm moving there in less than a week! to start breaking ground on a couple new buildings. The land itself is on the edge of town, but technically within city limits. My plan is to sub divide the land and build houses. once my own shop is completed, I plan on building a 3d house printer to accomplish this and other houses/land in the future.

My long term goal is to build incredibly affordable housing that folks can own instead of renting. I also dabble in alternative energy sources and plan to do research on grid scale non toxic batteries at the farm as well as agrovoltaics.

I'm reaching out to introduce myself and to hopefully find other like minded souls to bounce ideas off and form a working friendship. I have plenty of land for folks to stay temporarily and am open to alot of different scenarios. I'm going to need help eventually getting the sides of buildings up and many other projects and can afford to pay for some help in a few different ways.

Please reach out and have a great day!

Hi Evan and welcome to Permies!

You have exciting plans! I wish you good luck with your building and other efforts.

In the building category we have many forums dedicated to alternative and off grid building, you might find things that interest you there.
We also have a camera work forum in the art category, if you want to post your art!

As for finding like minded souls to bounce ideas, well, just find a thread for a topic you would like to talk about using the advanced search or just browse the all forums listing to find a forum of your interests. Starting a thread of your own is always an option!

And last but for not the least: How Permies.com works - links to useful threads

Happy to have you here!

Hi Evan,

I’m an ideas guy, engineer (background in electrical), inventor, thinker, researcher.  Also’ve been a gardener, arborist/sawer, handyman, drummer, occasional rhythm guitarist.

For years I’ve been studying these things: all types of alternative energy, batteries, agrivoltaics. Also: greening drylands, greenhouses, building materials….
