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 daily 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.

Accommodation
The house where we are living is a big construction from late ‘60 with a big space all around. Near to it there is a very old country house that we would like to restore, one day...and the barn where I need help to work. Then there is a small Mobil home with everything inside, I offer a single room with a double bed into the Mobil home. Food is included but of course Is necessary to understand that we can cook together and clean together like a comunity! we use to cook simples staff like pasta, salad, rice, some fish and meet. Into the mobile home the is a bathroom with shower and outside we can enjoy of a small pool during the summer!
What else ...
The house is the county so it’s best if you have a car to move.
Anyway there is buses in the little town near to the house, so you can move with bus to go on the coast or in Fermo, a beautiful city 25 km from here.
