I need helpers who have skills to help with the following:-
Changing the use of old Rare breed Pig Farm buildings by cleaning, demolishing internal walls, concreting floor, re-roofing building, fitting windows into gable ends which are open and creating an Art/Healing/Training Room from the building.
Clearing up storage area of recycled and re-useable building products and creating a workshop in a 200 year old cottage which needs sealing from the weather at windows and doors. Bringing inside from all over the 5 acres, gates, doors and timber stored for future projects to turn this farm into an Art-Healing-Teaching Centre concentrating on Self Sufficiency Training, NLP and Self Help Training, Art Therapy and Healing Techniques.

Building an outside toilet/shower room (foundations and drains already built)
Workers are taken one at a time mostly and projects are written down with guidelines and materials to use, people with skills to match the projects are matched and new positive input of ideas to make this a peaceful retreat are always discussed as this is an evolving project so if you have artistic flair and good at vision/imagination for the benefit of the project we could have some great fun planning, designing and working to make this vision reality.
Skills required: At least 15 years working in the building/farming/gardening area would be required and strength to move blocks, timber, doors and window frames essential.
