    I am a Tiny House builder from Ireland living in Asturias - we are looking for one/two people to come and help us with with various projects - we are renovating an old mill close to Villaviciosa. We are also converting some old Asturian cider barrels into liveable spaces. I work mainly with salvaged wood, lime, hay bales and reused materials.
