Hi Dave!!! Nice to meet you. I’m not currently in the Catskills, but I’m looking to relocate there. I hope to build something along the lines of a “passive” barndominium, but I’m still working on my finals plans. I’m looking to start my own self sustaining homestead, with hopes to do some small scale breeding. I’ve always visited the Catskills and thought it would be a good place to relocate my “family.” We are pretty non-traditional - I’m a cancer survivor in my 20s, my boyfriend has high functioning cerebral palsy and we are bringing my 77 year old grandmother! Since I’m not able to have children of my own (my cancer was genetic) we plan to foster. So I’m trying to think about something that will work for us all and can be a *forever* home. I don’t have many skills (yet) that I can offer up but I have a lot of knowledge (spent a lot of my sick time reading and learning) and I’m really good at interior design. My current home has been featured in magazines, blogs, etc. Design isn’t my professional career but it is my passion. Happy to connect with everyone and I look forward to working together on growing community!
