I am finalizing an agreement with a nearby timber framer master hopefully soon.  Getting bids from different companies.  Hopefully, one of the two nearby timber framers will tackle this.
When I know for sure....I will open up project to others under this person's direction.
Hopefully alignment happens.
Thank you.  I will read the info.

My daughter and I looked for 5 years for land that with our limited finances we could buy. We bought from Minnesota mineral and land program 11.5 acres 3 years ago.  We have cut our logs from our land and are hand milling them now. We have cleared land for timber frame home, barn, paddock/pasture, garden, storage shed/garage.
Now handling the disposal of excess tree debris of 4 huge piles.  Interesting.  
This late spring through fall time period we will be preparing our timber frame joinery for our structure and raising of said structure.
We spent 3 years preparing draft to professional drawn timber frame plans with in depth book-like instructions.  
So this late spring through fall the actual timber frame joinery cutting begins.
So....is it possible to gather a group of strangers/friends to minnesota for this process.
How does one go about gathering volunteers or $ low any pay to come here for one scheduled time frame to be determined by what works out.
We have taken on this future journey with monthly income resources.  We are, basically, homeless.  We are staying with my other daughter/son-in-law.  They have been gracious, but, we do need to have own place soon.
This spring I am moving my 1971 international airstream out there to live in while building.  Oh yes, we now have entrance driveway !  Exciting.

So one or more individuals interested in helping?
Advice?

Well it is 2021 year now.  That was 2015 posts.

What are you doing now?  I bought land, cut my lumber, and being milled by me now.
Looking to do joinery preparation and raising timber frame structure this later spring, summer, fall time period.
Looking for help. This is not a company, but a private endeavor by someone who is creating a home with limited finances.
Experience timber frame joinery is not a must but desire to help figure and do our detailed custom written how to house plans.
