    Help

    i would like to meet positive people, to help me with some garden project and help to empty one of the carved cellar that have been left in bad shape duing the years, , there are lots of space but is an "underground" room with electric lights and air but not the best if you are claustrophobic, in this case dont worry ! There are others project where you can help me outdoor!

    Maybe painting the rooms and little maintenance help depends on the weeks

    All the task will be done together and you don't need any special skills, just good attitude and like to listen to music during help because i can't help otherways ;)

    maybe a little experience outdoor but i will be explaining you about all your doubt and cooperating.
