About the workproject

We need 1 volunteer

We are looking for someone with good building skills who is an all rounder. We need some internal walls put up and some walls taken down. Then on the outside extensions added, you will have the help of King (our farm worker) and myself to dig, move and help on a daily basis. This is a long term project and needs planning before arrival so goods can be bought and preparation undertaken.
