  Description

  Hi! We're a family working on converting a school bus into a tiny home on wheels. We need help demoing the bus, and building it out with all the creature comforts. If you have experience building schoolies, with wood working, electrical, plumbing, are generally handy or are a hard working and willing to dive in we would love to have you along for the ride.
  
  We will be doing a lot of sanding and painting as well. We have two dogs, we love being out in nature and traveling. We would be happy to introduce you to Hamilton and help you learn more about Toronto and the greater Hamilton area.
  
  We would love to learn from your talents and gifts and share ours with you.

  What else ...

  You're free to explore the city or take the train into Toronto to explore. We ask you to be home by 10pm so as not to disrupt the children's sleep coming in late and we do not permit any visitors to be brought back to the home. There's a bus stop within a 3 minute walk and you can get to most of the city.
