Spaceman (and everyone),
Since you mention the workload associated with our projects, you may be interested in a way to have a steady stream of helpers coming. There is an organization called WWOOF (World Wide Organization of Organic Farms). This organization allows one to 1) become a "WOOFER" and 2) an WOOFER Farm.
As a farm you supply a place to reside for a WOOFER and food. They must work a minimum of 4 hours a day and come to you on their dime. The quality of helper is high. They have many things to offer. You'd be surprised at the energy and how much can get done when you have to lay out projects for more than yourself.
To qualify as a farm it may be necessary to have a garden, but the gamut of work to be done on a farm is endless. It could be welding (a towmixer), fixing a tractor motor, or building a papercrete structure to house farm equipment, or ala Mike McCain an escargot farm.
I may have mentioned this in a previous post, but with new members, and time passing I opted for another plug.
