Thanks

My name is Owen from Dublin, I build Tiny Houses using sustainable building practices. I ran the TinyBerlin company before we moved here to Asturias with my wife and two daughters. I am currently renovating an old mill from the year 1900 and converting two large cider barrels into liveable spaces.

Help
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.

We are very relaxed people, we will try and make your experience as educational and meaningful as possible .We can pick you up in Villaviciosa too. We are 13 km from the beach, there are amazing walks nearby, Villaviciosa is another 13km away. There's also a lovely bar 15 mins walk from the mill.
