I don't have anything right now, but I just wanted to say Hello! I'm also in Middle TN starting a homestead. It's just me, so it's going veeerrryyy slow. I just bought 16 acres an hour from where I currently live, so I can only go out there on the weekends. Happy to see someone nearby!

That's Awesome! Always glad to meet fellow homesteaders and chicken keepers. And yes, when we first started, I thought surely we would be finishing these projects a year into it and maybe two years. Lol. Boy was I WAY off. When you start to factor in daily chores and maintaining livestock, projects take much longer to realize. I have my daughter and mom (I'm 37, my daughter is 9) but majority of the time it is just me attempting to do things with no working knowledge of most of these. Which means I must teach myself how to complete the task first. I guess I'm something of a "renaissance woman" at this point. Which is actually how everyone USED to be. "A jack of all trades- Master of NONE!"
Anyways, at this point I feel like 10 maybe 20 yrs from now I will feel like I've completed everything I set out to do. I do enjoy being a life long learner though. At point I've taken a course to be a natural birth doula (even at home) , a course to design permaculture properties, i am self taught in herbal medicine, I am self taught in holistic vet care, organic gardening, tiny amounts of proper construction and natural building techniques, i spent the last year getting serious about flock management, SOP breeding, Incubation and hatching, poultry nutrition as well as all that for dairy goats. What I've come to realize is it actually does take a village so it is VERY important to gather the RIGHT VILLAGE around you. I spread myself too thin for many yrs and am realizing that maybe it is better to know a little of everything but really excel in one or two things and offer those to the community, what you can't do yourself other people around will be better at anyways and you can always barter and trade for those goods and services. Really, the end goal in sight is a very large piece of property with a private community set up to be completely independent of mainstream.

What are you currently working on?

I'm in Eastern Tennessee. We have a small piece of land that we are raising chickens and soon we will add rabbits.

I'm not sure if you have thought of it, but; check Craigslist and Facebook market place for free materials. Wooden pallets are awesome for building with and many places will give them to you if you haul them off.
