Help
Now I’m restoring a old barn to made a ceramic studio on it and also a art residence. Lots of work is already finish by it’s still lots of buildings finished to do. So I need people that can help me with practical work: small construction works, electrical systems and other staff like that.
At the moment I do not have much money to invest so I’m content to do small daily jobs, step by step...maybe build a new brick oven for ceramic works, or painting some wall…
I also need people that can help in the country works: cleaning, vegetable garden and maybe plantations.
I spend a lot of time with my children so I need someone to help me with them, someone very patient and affable so a emphat person.Languages
