Hi - new poster

[oboejlm]

new to the forum, and thought I'd give it a try...
33, single, have my own homestead with sheep, a cow, chickens, halfway to a barn, ninety percent of a house, indoor plumbing, great sense of humor and a duck. *Looking for someone with similar interests, ability to run a chainsaw, and general knowledge of how to butcher a turkey. *I spin, knit, weave (kinda) make my own soap/cheese/bread, shear my own sheep, and just saved up enough to buy a great woodburning cookstove! *Also a classical musician in my spare time (ha!)

I'm a female, by the way, and tend to prefer males...

"Aflac!".. LOL

"I'm a female, by the way, and tend to prefer males..."

This is a good thing! Sounds like you could be a good catch! Welcome to the mix.. ;)

Thanks...I like to think so!

any other SF out there with stories on going it alone? I never thought I'd be facing this solo, and I get overwhelmed sometimes with all the stuff that needs to get done. Ever notice it takes 5 times longer to do something with one less person? ex. putting up a shed with no-one to hold or "hand me the" makes one quite creative about propping stuff up to nail it together! Same with drywalling solo...

cheers!

You would have laughed you buns off watching me "trying" to install a chimney for my wood burner alone.. LOL (it wasn't fun, btw) :P

I had 3 sections of 6" pipe together, stuck straight up in the air, trying to get an elbow on it.. WOW! I waited until I could get a friend to give me a hand. I just couldn't do it! I'm sure it would have been a winner on "The Worlds Funniest Videos".. HeHe

[oboejlm]

hey - that's my next big project - chimney like structure for the *new* stove in the kitchen. I'm a bit intimidated...

[hkennedy8]

:) Oh I know the feeling.... I currently homestead alone. The work never ends. Try to fit a date in seems impossible. When he realizes that your a homesteader the intimidation sets in. Most men I meet in VA just can't handle a true homestead women with class. Some advice... Love what you do and Always enjoy Life!

Happy Homesteader

Now ain't that something! Most women see my way of life as intimidating.....also been referred to as disgusting. "Ewww! I'm not touching that egg! There's poop on it!" Help me out here ladies and check out my "myspace page" link under my profile icon. Pass it on as you see fit. I am a pretty friendly person so I will answer all who respond. See hkeendy8.......you got to find a guy who's idea of a good date could be a picknic with a pair of fencing pliars. No better way to get to know a person that working by their side.....just my 2 cents. Jeff

Awesome pictures!!! I love that part of the country! I'm hoping to go to that part of the country to get my doctorate. Got a couple of years before that though.

and your boy is adorable...you'll be beating the girls off him soon!

Ladies, you need to check his page out! If I was looking, I'd be .....well, I'd be doing something, lol!

[starbucksue]

Hey..where is that guy with the picnic basket and fence pliers..send him MY way..and tell him to bring his chainsaw along.. :)

[Wyobuckaroo]

So Sue

Your saying your kind of add would read.

"Wanted caring, sensitive man, good with hands, must own tools, send picture of chain saw"

???

Wyo
Bwahahahahaahaha

[starbucksue]

You bet.. because he won't get to use mine!

[dreamer]

Have chainsaw and tools know how to use them.

[starbucksue]

hey Dreamer..your own tools? like in "have tools,will travel?

[cmdan]

I'm a mechanic, (raised on a farm) my tool box has wheels.....I have a chain saw too ;D

Is it ok to quit my day job?? ;)

[starbucksue]

Does the toolbox have 4wd? ;D

Do you have a tractor?..it has to have a front loader and a scraperbox..!
No you can't quit your day job.. ;)

[cmdan]

Does the toolbox have 4wd? ;D

Only if I tow it with my jeep *;D

Do you have a tractor?..it has to have a front loader and a scraperbox..!


Yes I have 2 JD model 70s (lawn mower size), but no loader or scraperbox.....dang it! Maybe I can buy bigger toys??


No you can't quit your day job.. ;)

Man! Just when I got my hopes up.......never mind. *:'( ......well maybe that will be ok. *;)

[starbucksue]

Jeep will do but you'll have to upgrade that JD.. ;)..!
What size bar on that chainsaw? (I am a Stihl gal myself...) ;D

[DM]

(I am a Stihl gal myself...) ;D


That's OK, no ones perfect... HA HA HA

DM

[RocketMan]

She's making me REALLY excited!!!!

;D

[cmdan]

The saw is not a Stihl, but it will cut wood.....some trees I have to cut on both sides, to get through them, but I get the job done. *8)

How about you, do you know how to can veggies? I plan on a big garden, going to have to do something with all those vegetables *;) Oh, and making homemade bread is a must. :P

[starbucksue]

Yes..know how to can veggies. ::)....already have a big garden and grow more than I need so am planning on selling the excess through the farmers market and local restraunts.
I make darn good bread too...Bad thing is that I eat it! :D Hot bread straight from the oven is so good!

[cmdan]

Yes, my mom use to get so made at us boys, we would eat most of the bread and/or cin. rolls as soon as they came out. Not good for the waist line, but sure tastes good. :P
Now I have to settle for the fresh baked french bread at Albertsons :(

[starbucksue]

It is very theraputic to make bread,the old fashioned way..now there are machines that do it but I hate all those shiny appliances that suck up power and make all that noise..give me peace and quiet..window open :) so I can hear the ocean while I cook something I grew..
No Albertson's here..no Wal Mart either ;D

[cmdan]

I use to "try" to make Home made bread, but I could never get it to raise like mom could, so I gave up. The loafs she made had more bread above the pan than in it. Glad to see some are still doing it the old fashioned way......but then, here I suffer with out. *:'(
