    Description

    hi im running a building project in southern spain and im looking for handy people with a get up and go attitude to help finish the building work ,especially our roof before we head of to a season of festivals ,June/sept,,,,,, we run a midwifery school for birth keepers ,doulas and midwives and the building is a school to teach in ,,,it is a really exciting project in the south of spain ,gorgeous weather, with a small but dynamic community, of mainly English Dutch, German Spanish,with often visitors for further a field,,,, I can offer a yurt or a large Campervan ,feeding on workdays ,free internet ,and I can charge small devices ie phones iPads,,but not laptops as we are on solar off grid community.
    I really need help with the roof immediately ,needs to be preserved and stained inside and outside twice ,which for 2 or 3 people wouldn't take very long then theres a covering before the main roof covering comes ,then once covered and water proof we need to turn the roof into a living roof .I would expect people to put in at least a minimum of four hours a day and we expect work to be done Monday to Friday ,,with weekends free.
    we also sometimes will ask for gardening or cooking or household tidying
